Separate names with a comma.
Oh wow, not me. I generally hate whichever AFC East team is currently the best, but Deflategate and Spygate changed that for me. They freakin'...
Yeah, Ricky is pretty high on my list too. Achane is still young so it's hard to say if he'll be truly special or just a really good RB. Part of...
To me, that's always the best path. Draft a QB every single year and keep them until it no longer makes sense. The more looks we get, the better.
Ruining the Pats playoff path is almost as good as a playoff win in my book. I simply do not want to see them take the division and if we can...
I completely agree. It ultimately comes down to who you want on the bench behind Ewers (or whoever).
The Tua we've seen recently is not the Tua we've grown to love and support. The kid who was humble and just wanted to play? That's my Tua. This...
LOL, don't forget we're beating the brakes off the Pats in two weeks...be sure to factor that into your master plan!
All I want for Christmas is for Ewers to light up New England in two weeks so they lose the division to Buffalo. It could be Tua or Wilson as...
I agree, he might not be our future. For now, I'm worried about 2026, week 1. I really don't think it will be Tua so it's something the team has...
The grass is always greener on the other side, I get that. For example, people here ranted on Tannehill for being inconsistent, not sensing...
If it was written slightly different, toning back some of the over the top statements, it would absolutely pass as real. AI is scary and it's...
I agree, his throws had nice velocity and a clear difference from what we've seen lately. I do think the best QB for right now is starting. That...
I missed the game, how did Ewers look overall? The highlights show some crisp throws, but they're highlights. He had the one pick where Waddle...
Aah, so now we're off the rails once again and back to square one. So the move should be to restructure Tua's contract, pay him the $99M bonus,...
Aah, okay...now it makes sense. So Tyreek's bonus money didn't vanish, it was balanced out across the rest of his contract for cap purposes, even...
You're often hard to read here as a person, but I hope that's sarcasm. Either way, I laughed hard when I read it.
Okay, I thought I had a clear answer...but now I'm lost again. So we gave him a hefty bonus when he signed his contract (or since then) but we...
Yeah, it was pretty funny to me as well. I forgot to add Cam Newton, he was actually offended that Indy didn't call him since he claims to still...
Let me make sure I understand. If Tua retires, he doesn't get paid (year's start bonus + any future salary) but we still get the salary cap hit?...
I'm not an NFL finance guy, so I was wondering what would happen if we went into the next pre-season with the intention of trading Tua, there was...
But here's the thing- we've had an offense that didn't focus on Tua for about 5 weeks now. Your stats on Achane are prior to that, in the prior...
You never know. I saw both Brady and Fitzpatrick comment that they were upset Rivers got a call to come play instead of them. Heck, Matt Ryan...
Why ae we automatically tanking and rebuilding? We have a solid run game and a decent no-name defense. McDaniel's offense was incompetent...
Ewers will do rookie stuff as he adjusts to NFL speed. He will probably also have a few glimmering moments as well. More than anything, he just...
Ewers can scramble and run, so it's not likely he'll just keep going backwards like Tua now does. One of his primary struggles in college was...
What about Tua for DeShaun Watson, a straight up swap? Watson's contract has one season left and its widely viewed as the worst contract ever by...
I also like this move for multiple reasons. #1, Let Tua sit for a few weeks as some of those, "After practice and games, I don't think about...
To complicate matters even more, none of the top 3 quarterbacks have pledged to the draft yet. All of a sudden, it's not a given that they'll...
I agree, I can hand off to Achane just as well as Tua or Ewers. Let the rookie get some reps and we'll see what happens. I will be rooting for...
I thought we'd win purely off the run game, solid D, and occasional play action passes. Tua did look very off and his movement while scrambling...
I didn't catch the game, but I saw his stat lines were pretty good. You fine folks seem to say differently; I'll watch highlights now.
Well, this thread didn't age well at all. Miami is eliminated from playoff contention with our loss and other key wins in the conference.
Honestly, me too. Tua is a big part of our regression this season. Great kid and all, but we need more of a prototypical quarterback.
I was rooting for the Pats last night as well (more so for our slim playoff chances than anything). They completely choked down the stretch and...
That's a fair point and it can't be argued that he doesn't care...he certainly does and wants what is best for the franchise. He HAS TO hit on...
LOL, that's exactly why I don't want to blow everything up just to blow everything up. After the boom and the brief fireworks show, we still have...
Nobody thinks we have a chance in this weather, but I do like our odds if we get the run game going.
Who else in the building can give Ross any clue as to what he's looking for, what he has, and what direction the franchise should head towards in...
I understand your frustration....BUT...these kinds of statements dive me crazy! Ross hired McDaniel, and Flores, and Gase, and a few coaches...
Playoffs?!? We're going to the Super Bowl! In all honesty, I think we miss the playoffs even if we win out. However, if we do sneak in on an...
Minkah with a pick-6 would be just as satisfying...I agree completely!
Good for him, I feel kind of bad not knowing who he is. I remember the interception though and it was a great play.
Tua has been struggling with passes in the warm weather, so maybe the cold would help? LOL
We've won four in a row, and I get it wasn't the toughest of schedules, but a win is a win in the NFL. Any win is hard, so saying we have to beat...
Before anyone says that, "this is a must win game," that literally describes every game since Grier was released. The Fins are playing for...
The running stat is sort of skewed because if you're down by 17, you're probably not handing off the ball as much. It forces you to pass and...
For that Buffalo game, it was the way the defense suddenly showed up and stuffed the run, had tight pass coverage, got pressures on Allen, etc....
To be fair, we didn't just squeak by Buffalo- we dominated them in all phases for 4 quarters. And we have 4 pretty good teams left on the season...
Good news for sure. Even bruised ribs hurt like mad so hopefully he heals up quickly. To me, the article was wrong though. Yes, we moved the...
I thought, that can't be right. So I checked the '72 Dolphins. They won week 12 at Foxboro, week 13 at Yankee Stadium (the Giants), the...
Snow games are power running games, and we know a little bit about that lately. I really, really like our chances.
I'm honestly not sure where this came from, but we have multiple rookies absolutely lighting people up at the 2nd level (LB's/safeties). We...
The Texans still play the Chargers and the Colts, so you might as well say we're Texans fans now. That's the easiest path for us- Texans win out,...
Yup, it's more fun to track it weekly though...especially if we keep winning. =)
I've done this every year when we looked like locks for the post-season, so I figured why not do it this season as well when it looks all but...
To be fair, we didn't see 3rd down with Achane on the field because almost every play was a 1st down. When he went down, we had to invent a new...
Without Achane on the field, it's a different offense. He's honestly way more important than Tua at this point, so the drop in productivity was...
He absolutely has opportunity. Three more wins has him interviewing for HC jobs, while less then 3 wins probably has him interviewing for OC...
LOL, I guess you do what you must to make the active roster? It is a head scratcher...
I think it really depends on how the season ends more than anything. Two years in a row we were fairly dominant and then collapsed in December....
I just listened to the segment and yeah, it was harsh. He said Tua is moving like Big Ben out there (in his final season). Maybe Tua has an...
Part of that transition was having a healthy line back that could dominate in the run game. People need to understand, the first 2 yards on any...
Yeah, Burrow entered that college season ranked 14th overall and he wasn't even scouted by the NFL up until that point. Everything just clicked...
It's the stinkin' Jets, of course we're going to win. Even Jets fans hate the Jets these days.
Cam Ward money (#1 overall) is not typical though. In 2025, number 32 overall made 3.6M per year on his rookie contract and number 33 made 1.97...
That's an incredible story! Has a pick-six on a two point conversion always been worth only 2? That doesn't feel right to me, at least allow the...
I completely agree. If I were a college athlete today, or if my kid was one, then I'd ensure staying until graduation. Why wouldn't you? NIL is...
In the Tua draft, I wanted Hurts (late in the 2nd/early 3rd) and let him develop a year or two behind Tannehill. I realize that's a gamble...
The point of drafting an annual QB is that it gives you more opportunities to hit (and more opportunities to miss). Using Hurts from your...
I agree...just win baby win. The how is less important.
I've always been a proponent of doing that every year- I would have done that with Marino as the starter until we were in the position of someone...
I agree. There's great prospects in every draft but nobody that really jumps out this year. The RB from Notre dame looks special. Other than...
I completely agree, we can't expect him to win each game for us Barry Sanders style. Incredible young player, no doubt, but defenses will adjust...
Getting Waller back would be huge. Hopefully it happens soon so he can get some reps in before the games get tougher.
But why'd they hit free agency in the fist place? That's 100% on Grier for not locking those players down well before those contracts expired....
Grier promised a "perennial playoff contender" by building through the draft. There's only two routes there- sign and keep talent, or hit on...
I completely agree, I want a playoff win too. I want a SB trophy and back to back championships just as much as the next guy. We're not...
Here's the thing- if anyone gets mad at me for hoping the Dolphins win next week, then that's not going to hurt my feelings one bit. And if they...
LMAO! Some things should remain in the locker room...no way that should have been passed to the media. I feel for Mariota and the crap his fans...
Tough break, I hate that for any player and what they must go through trying to come back 100%. Hopefully he has an opportunity next season to...
The way organizations work is that it's a pretty small circle. For example, the GM of Indy and the VP of Affiliates in Green Bay probably knew...
I completely agree, I always want the Fins to win and I could care less about draft order. The #1 overall pick busts just as often as the #15...
I remember, the NFL rules analyst even joined and said it was a terrible call. It was a rough day for officiating.
I disagree. The past two weeks, we earned "W's". You can stop looking at that point and moving forward, the only thing that should decide...
I agree. As bad as it was, we moved the ball some and won overseas. It usually goes the opposite way so I'm giving them a pass this week. I was...
Did anyone else feel like we should have had multiple safeties on the day? Three of them sure felt like intentional grounding in the end zone to...
I complete agree. The first time, go for it since it's a high percentage play. But at the end of the game, kick the field goal and trust your...
Yeah, McDaniel clearly has some faults, but so does every 1st time head coach. The big thing is that we don't know what's happened behind the...
Remember, he was hired based on the conversation, "Can you win with Tua?" If Miami has decided that Tua is not the guy, then how do you...
I really hope we can win this one. I don't get my hopes up for international games since it's more like a vacation with a football game at the...
If I had to pick a team to root for out of the Bills, Pats, and Jets, I'd take the Jets every time since they are the perennial laughing stock of...
I've seen a few analysts penciling Miami in for a wild card slot already- which is kind of hysterical after a single win against a solid team. I...
That's silly and immature, but if he lives even remotely nearby then I completely get it. Tannehill used to live about three miles from there in...
So I was laying in bed last night, tossing and turning until 3 AM here in the Philippines, never once thinking that the Dolphins game was on or...
The multiple picks would come from us pre-paying Tua's contract in bonuses, basically making him free for the next team and enabling them to load...
I can see why folks would want Tua and McDaniel gone. There's crazy trade scenarios out there- Tua for Kyler, Tua for a haul of draft picks while...
He was super happy in his first interview in Philly. He said that's the only place he ever wanted to play.
I mean, we had one of the most explosive offenses in football for two seasons. Then we traded away two stud corners and our opponent scored on...
This topic is a lot more relevant now with Grier gone. And the Dolphins did look solid a week ago (before they looked horrible on Thursday...
He was basically saying, "They fired the black guy, but not the white guy? The white guy better be fired as well..." It's a racist hot take and...
Serious question- is there any need for a GM mid-season? I know they do many things other than drafts and trades, but i'm wondering if that can...
I got to watch the full game and I'm pretty perplexed to say the least. We had five trips into the redzone and scored 3 points. A 6th trip into...
Sure, that's true. If two head coaches in a row cried foul though, then surely the league would see a potential pattern. It's tough because the...
Honestly, I wouldn't mind that at all...I'd actually like that since it's the only way Ross will be escorted out of Miami. To me, an owner should...
Aah, okay. I can see where you're coming from. Wouldn't the same happen if McDaniel was fired though? He could do the same thing Grier did....
Explain this line of thinking because I don't see the connection.
Thinking about this season is not fun for so many reasons, but the main thing on my mind lately is Tua's relationship with McDaniel. When McD...
I've never met him but I do remember seeing him in the stands at games many years ago. You should have a great time! In your honor, I'll stay up...
Win or lose, it's a great experience and a fun time. Hopefully the team shows up for you but even if they don't, enjoy the tailgating and the...
Thanks! I'm surprised by the number of replies since the site has been slower lately. I'll try to get back to writing weekly recaps of the game...
As most of you know, I'm an eternal optimist and always seem to find reasons to remain upbeat and positive when it comes to the Miami Dolphins....
Less than two pages of comments for the entire game- this forum has seen better days. I forgot the game was on so I only saw the highlights, and...
For those that didn't catch the sarcasm, he wasn't being serious. Per ESPN:
I couldn't watch it and gave up around the 9 minute mark. All he did was complain about the "darkness around him" and "no reward for playing"...
Our rushing yards is perplexing given we were leading 17-0. Not really sure how the play calling went the way that it did. When you have a crap...
I met Clayton as a teenager at a youth event at my church. Duper was there too. They were paid by our church to sign autographs for an hour, but...
Of course the sports writer went there. I thought the exact opposite; it's also a reminder that our actions in life have consequences. Call it...
Did he retire at halftime like Vontae Davis? The Colts should definitely reconsider signing our former Pro Bowl corners in the future, they seem...
I'll stand by what I said in the other thread; I can see us winning 5 of the next 6 (including this win tonight) and making the playoff push at...
I completely agree, I have no idea how we entered this season thinking we could compete at cornerback and safety. I only said "they have to get...
The guy doesn't know what he's talking about in regards to Sieler. He's talking like you can tell a nose tackle to just jog out there, split the...
I agree, we've started fast the past few years and that's not happening now. We got whooped week one by a team that's 3-0 and whooping...
Exactly, if you're focused on the run game then you don't have to have an elite QB to have a chance to win. They throw less often, and when they...
I'd say, "Yes sir Mr. Ross, I'll build a perennial playoff contender!" And from day one, I'd be planning my retirement in three years since it's...
To be fair, it's not a horrible answer. QBs are trained from pee-wee to forget the last play, the last mistake, and throw the passes as you see...
I started to write the same thing about Burrow...clearly elite, yet delivering little because his team can't protect him and he's always hurt....
You're 100% correct. But who's the elite QB in next year's draft class? Who's a free agent that's going to be elite in the future? That's the...
Personally, I've always advocated for drafting a mid-round quarterback every season, carry three quarterbacks, and always have one or two in...
There's 14 games left, so the season isn't over quite yet. If we won at Buffalo it would have been massive (since we never win there), and we did...
Sieler made a play and had a legit chance for a block. It's a tough penalty and it might be the play that changes the game. I feel for the...
Is Ewers a decent prospect? I didn't see any preseason and didn't look at college tape yet. Not that I want to see the rookie start because that...
I know that most think McDaniel is over his head, and that could be 100% correct. I hope (for our sakes) that he rebounds and we don't have...
I'll rephrase that- McDaniel started off horrible on the first few drives, but then made adjustments. A few of the Tyreek chunk plays were just...
I agree, I think McDaniel may have 5 days left as the head coach...unless this team can shock the world on Thursday. I just don't understand how...
Here's the thing though, the "machine" was built around this particular cog (Tua). Just like Tua may not be viable in any offense, this offense...
I saw an article yesterday that claimed McDaniel said we haven't received any offers and we were not looking to trade Hill. Yet I've seen the...
Miami got punched in the mouth week one. Will they punch back in week 2? I hope so. I don't think McDaniel's team (or Tua) has lost to the Pats...
It's a 17-game season. We lost one. The only thing to focus on is getting a W in the next game. I know many here will say it was a bad loss,...
Well, he's not a Jet anymore, and he was elite before being a Jet. Time is working against him but not being a Jet will work towards his favor....
For me, it was when Ross hired him and said it was because of his clear vision to make us a, "perennial playoff contender." I called him the...
For me, it's Tua. Great when he's healthy, terrible when he's hurt, then he has games like yesterday that make you wonder why he's even in the...
I didn't watch the entire game since I'm 12 hours ahead of you guys, but the best news I can share is that only counted for exactly 1 loss. They...
Don't forget that we beat one mediocre team two years ago by what...60? When Tua and our receivers are healthy, this is still a lethal offense....
Oh, there was a 2nd game? I watched Dallas/Philly...pretty good game. I'm excited for the season. I'm in the Philippines (12 hours ahead of...
I mean, what else can you say when you're not named a captain? He provided the only possible answer.
I saw the new Superman a few weeks back and was vastly disappointed- I don't like the direction they're going with directing at all. It was an...
That's the worst part. You get to 53, but the real number is probably 50 or 51 since they're going to snag a few people. So you have two fringe...
Yeah, that would work and it would make 16 teams directly relevant to us since we'd track our division of 8 and the rival division as well. For...
I personally think it would make a lot more sense if the Jets and the Giants were in the same division. I get why they're separate, so locals...
Yeah, I completely agree. Losing due to a series of penalties that give opponents 1st downs late in the 4th...of course that's as frustrating as...
I saw a post the other day saying the NFL is considering new divisions, with Miami in the AFC south vs Tampa, Jax, and Atlanta. And I'd...
So, the offer is to trade our best player for a few future late-round draft picks and a TE. Hmm, I'd really have to think about that. Would they...
Whatever the case, I hope his foot is okay long-term. Whether he plays another NFL snap or pursues something completely different, I wish the guy...
Kohou is 26, it's crazy to think he's the veteran guy in the room. We've brought in so many young corners through this rebuild and it's crazy...
I was watching those highlights in the first thirty seconds and I almost feel like there's no sense in watching the rest of the video. In each...
Me too on Pitts- he has SOOO MUCH potential with the biggest wingspan in the NFL. I get that he didn't evolve into a superstar, but his catch...
As a former lineman, I don't think most fans realize that OL is creating highlight-reel collisions every single play of the game. On run plays, I...
Tua is the only quarterback to have 100+ QB ratings each of the past three years- nobody has been more consistent on the field. Saying he's the...
I love that- Motor City Dan is coming home! Great team to prep against since they have tons of talent.
Unfortunately, that's the nature of the business. Someone has a good year and they expect a new contract. None of us do that at our jobs- have a...
It's so wild that HBO gets to tell professional football teams that they're complying with being on the show. Hopefully this hurts the Bills in...
Have we ever won an international game? I hate them because it's not just that week that gets thrown off; it's the week before and after as well....
I'm still in the Philippines, so my only answer would be "Dolphins vs Jets in the Philippines, as part of the NFL's new international tour". If...
For what it's worth, Dez Bryant said that Ewers is already better than Tua and he's going to be Dan Marino 2.0. Don't shoot the messenger! :chuckle:
Same here; I skimmed the posts the past few days but didn't have enough time to start conversations. I really appreciate you grabbing all that...
Tyreek is a good player when he's putting in effort, but that fell off last year and he flat out quit on us. We can't trade him or cut him, but...
Oh wow, that's lower than low. I don't know how some people in this world become so entitled to think that they can treat someone like they're...
Getting back to the thread topic, I clicked the link and "the lot is closed". It doesn't show a winning bid or a winner, so I'm guessing it was...
Not sure how he didn't get picked up by someone last year. Until recently, he was a top-3 corner in the league. There has to be quite a story...
I agree with the rule change- a 9-8 division winner shouldn't stay at home to play a 14-4 wild card team. If you want division wins to mean...
Same. If I see a link with no context, my brain says "SPAM". I was trying to help the guy out, but since he hasn't replied...that says all I...
That's what I just did too. For a week-night, two weeks out, the cheapest room I could get was $1700 a night. So that's $3400, plus up to a $400...
There's been several journalists and commentators on this site that started freelance and ended up with great jobs- Travis Wingfield working for...
Is it bad that I misread the title and thought we signed Russell Wilson? I just spent three minutes debating the pros and cons, decided that I...
I'd be all for that trade. Personally, I don't believe in keeping disgruntled employees since they don't give 100%. Tyreek wasn't the same...
That was clearly "Post of the Week' material! The Temu version does the same thing as the real deal, but it's made cheap and definitely won't...
Hopefully folks realize that finding a solid QB1 in the draft is incredibly hard given how the league currently operates and expects 1st rounders...

I hate to say it this way, but good riddance. I've never, ever had the patience to tolerate a diva, and that's exactly what he has become....
I disagree...I thought the statement showed a little class when he said that he values continuity. I feel like he's blown up the leadership too...
Me too, I'm a big Lions fan for the next few months. Motor City Dan got his HC start in Miami so I still think of him as one of us.
Just watched the highlights and figured out Cinci has Gisecki....wow! Makes zero sense for him to be with his 3rd team already.
That feels crazy high to me- the Chiefs aren't going to get blown out before a two-week layoff. Maybe they rest some starters but they're still...

It was my brother and a few of his friends; they've found some independent media that supports their line of thinking (IE, crazy people making...
For me, seeing the Dolphins win is the only goal this week. If we don't get in, so be it. I'm happy ending on a three-game winning streak. If...
So we dominated for almost 5 decades, and started dropping off with Marino's exit. Pretty cool perspective if you think about it- the league...
Did Tua play at all? I'm in the Philippines and didn't wake up in time to catch the game.
From the little I've read this year (haven't followed football much), the Giants are tanking in a very obvious way. They lost by 3 to the Saints...
If he received the offer, I bet he'd sign since he still lives in Miami. But he's not a fit for this offense and we don't have the line to keep...
Look, I was beating the drum on Grier the very first time he said "perennial super bowl contender". In other words, day one on the job before he...
To me, context matters. We lost Tua for a month and he wasn't himself in the first few games back. That six-game stretch, where we went 1-5,...
We need three sets of outcomes to make the playoffs. In other words, all three things must happen. 1) Dolphins win the last two games AND 2)...
Hey friends- Happy Thanksgiving! Tua is playing lights out and this offense is clicking at the right time of the season. The D has looked better...
Yeah, the Bills "should win". The Dolphins certainly "can win" and we have the talent to hang with them. But can we put it all together and...
I forgot the game was on and didn't stay up for it. Looks like the loss came down to a bad snap (safety). By the way folks, Miami is 2nd in the...

Absolutely. Although I'm down at the moment, there's been amazing changes in my life and I truly feel blessed. That's a big part of why I've...
It really isn't any one person because honestly, I'm one of the few that get along with everyone here...even if I fiercely disagree with them. I...
Hey guys. I've decided that I won't be logging into this forum anymore because I can no longer handle the negativity. It's not any one person...
Okay, that's where I knew the name from. Thanks!
I know nothing about him...except that his name is Larry Izzo. That's enough for me, I'd bring him in, LOL.
For me, that's good news. We haven't won an international game yet, have we? It's an unnecessary distraction.
He was also being interviewed as a head coach candidate in Washington and Atlanta. Had two interviews with the Skins so I'd think there's...
I saw my thread became active once again and I thought to myself, "Oh wow, maybe cooler heads have prevailed and we can talk about a pretty good...
I'd take the BPA unless there's a player on the board that another team is willing to overpay for. My personal ratings for need: 1) LB 2) LT 3)...
To be fair, if we lost to the Texans...or Pats...or the Jets...or one of many other teams early on, then more of our late-season wins would be...
LMAO, his name was Zach and he married a Taylor, LOL. I'm only 50 and shouldn't be having these types of senior moments. I actually had to...
One thing for everyone to keep in mind, we heard this about Flores as well...and Gase, Philbin, Sparano, etc. Every time, highly negative news...
I read an article that said Taylor Swift brought in an estimated $334M in value for the Chiefs. I'm not sure if that's referring to merchandise...
That was such a shame- two freak plays let San Fran back in the game. That was a heartbreaker. But yes, no purple in the Super Bowl! The new...
What if Belicheat came in as our DC until the KC job opened up? And Brady became his boss in the front office? LOL, I have no idea what Belichek...
We're a tempo, misdirection offense. If we go double tight ends, then it's much easier for those safeties to double Tyreek/Waddle. The other...
Personally, I think Williams and Armstead are the biggest problem with the line. They are the best two linemen we have, but they've also both...
There's a clear pattern- it's called 'Any Given Sunday'.
The Broncos and Raiders were 8-9 and in the playoff hunt. The Jets were 7-10. If we lost those games, those three teams (4 games) would each...
The fun part is when you realize that certain posters are actually talking to themselves. Whoever this individual is hasn't been IP banned...
Ten of our eleven starters were playing and fighting with at least one injury. The 11th starter, Connor Williams, was out. Our offense wasn't...
I'm really torn but I think I'm rooting for Buffalo here for two reasons: 1) KC is not that great this year BUT Ma-hommie is incredible and...
We had no offensive line and our top two receivers were playing hurt. Despite that, we produced some offense in the first half. The opponents...
No, that can't be how football works, LOL. Good teams beating less good teams...that sounds like a fairy tale. People can spin this however they...
For those that watched the Philly game, Tampa's defense was DOMINANT and lit up Hurts all night long. The big difference from last season to this...
In Ross's defense, he wanted Lamar Jackson. Then the pervert Watson. Then Brady. He wanted two of them after we got Tua. So that doesn't sing...
At one point in the season (just over a month ago), we had the league's top offense and top defense. How can you not call that progress? I get...
If "perennial playoff contender" was the only goal, then this was year five of Grier's five year rebuild. We came up short under two coaches,...
Being in the same offensive system consecutive years with the same players makes a WORLD OF DIFFERENCE. It's way too early to blow this up and...
They were 10-7 in 2021 (Adams last year), 8-9 in 2022, 4-13 in 2023. I agree that Brady was a huge factor, but I also believe Adams played a...
I just turned 50 and I'll tell you something amazing I learned within the past few years- football is just football. It's not life and it's not...
Ernie Adams retired after the 2021 season...the Pats started their collapse in 2022. It's not a coincidence since Adams was the intel for the...
Nope, don't rebuild. This has been a .500+ team for four seasons now, and there has been progress each year. Not in playoff wins, which some...
You just said passer rating doesn't mean anything with Tua. But it means something with Cousins? Can't have it both ways.
With over half the defense out, with the offensive line riddled with injuries, etc. It wasn't a shocker.
Again, great season everyone- keep your heads up! We won't need as many adjustments next year when compared to this season, so it was a great...
LOL, it was one drive for each team- calm down.
The only way we won this one was through the offense. let's see what we got...
If anyone can't watch the game in your area, PM me.
Yeah, really...let them play on Tuesday. They'll beat the Steelers and will have little prep for KC or Miami. All good in my book too.
That feels a little unfair...until I saw that it will be white-out conditions with several inches of snow per hour and zero visibility. There's a...
I personally like McDaniel but I also feel like he's "faking it until he makes it" in many regards. Last week, we did well in the first half with...
Hmm, was he? I guess that's possible, but Allen only attends if Buffalo is out of the playoffs. I think he meant a rematch.
But with the wind chill, it's going to feel like -14. This could be the coldest NFL playoff game ever and it's going to come down to running the...
This is a very winnable game- it's a shame this will be the first NFL playoff game ever that's not on television.
The latest Hard Knocks wasn't terrible and highlighted how the defense was solid against Buffalo until starters went down. Baker played with a...
I think that's because this offense runs through Tyreek AND Waddle, or it runs through Achane and Mostert. When we were running well in the 1st...
My brother and I just placed a $20 bet on the game with "demon odds", which would pay us 83 to 1. The bets we made were: Tua 3 TD's Allen 3 TD's...
Me too! He hasn't been dominant but I think part of that is him being in Atlanta...
I wanted to post this before the Bills game when everyone is hopeful and a little more level-headed. I'm not sure how this plays out....I feel it...
Jax is in this position because Lawrence was out hurt for 3 weeks. If not for that, they would have taken the division weeks ago. It's tragic-...
Shocking prediction- KC will be one and done in the playoffs. I've felt that way all year long, they're not that team this year and Taylor Swift...
That's where I went on the beach as a teen- the volleyball courts at the Yankee Clipper. Being a local though, I've never actually been inside...
The Elbow Room is a Bills bar? Umm, no. That's the oldest business on the Ft. Lauderdale strip and it's certainly not for the Bills, LOL. New...
I just read that Howard's foot injury won't require surgery, and there's a chance he could return for the playoffs. I'm starting to get pumped...
Dude, we hung with the Ravens until X went down...and immediately the Ravens threw the ball to where X used to be over and over again. We don't...
No way...is Herbert available?!? :wasntme-sign:
He was in the latest Hard Knocks episode and it was pretty darn funny. McDaniel flexed on him and Ingram flinched, which tickled McDaniel and he...
I don't know that we've ever made it to Saturday before without an official game thread, but I can see under the circumstances why this isn't a...
It ends when our season ends. They'll go all the way to the Super Bowl if we make it that far.
Finally got around to watching the latest episode- I really didn't think I'd watch it at all. The Fins were so hyped going into that game and...
LMAO, you worked from top to bottom? Because I started at the bottom and was so delighted, I never realized she even had eyebrows, LOL.
I was fairly dead-on with him; he lost his lower body power from the surgery and his technique was so lousy, it took him this long to figure it...
For #1, Hill was playing hurt and Waddle was out. We can win in that scenario but the offense is clearly not the same without both homerun...
Oh wow, okay. That's a much more affordable weekend then.
Huh. I have faith in Jags over Titans, and if Lamar sits then maybe the Steelers have a shot. It would be poetic since the Bills are in the same...
Yeah, I was talking to my brother about that again last night. Sure does look like a strong possibility- I don't think anyone beats Baltimore....
It's back in Hawaii, isn't it? I mean, that would be a dream weekend and all...but expensive.
I realize the gravity of the situation- we are built to win now. At the same time though, we're down our two best pass rushers, our best safety,...
I see things very differently as a "glass half full" type of person. We had an 11-win season and won every single game we were supposed to...
I almost didn't log on today because of all the "sky is falling" posts I expected to see here. The plan all along was to win 2 of the final 3, we...
To some degree that's true- Mostert makes the most of his opportunities just like the rest of our stable. Luckily the "next man up" is one of the...
To say something constructive, Lamar Jackson is probably the most talented QB in the league with a big arm and the ability to scramble. He's the...
I mean, he's on pace to have the best receiving year ever. If holding him to 120 yards and a TD is "shutting him down", I'd take that every week.
Isn't that what every team has tried...and failed to do this season? You can't blanket Tyreek without leaving half the field wide open. Those...
I disagree with your disagreement, LOL. Mental toughness isn't the only factor in play here, and I believe we have enough of that to overcome...
There's only two possible answers at this point, and we'll get a major hint in about three days time.
Since San Fran lost, it simplifies things: Miami wins 0, takes wildcard Miami wins 1, takes division Miami wins 2, takes #1 seed
How dare those 11-win bums suggest that they might be good at football....LMAO!
I was like- a golf simulator? Really? That's what Tua's so excited about?!? I thought it would be some kind of scooter (I know Tyreek bought...
Again, I agree...not knocking any move we made.
I'm not disagreeing, but Flores started with a team that was fully gutted year one and filled with UFDA's. McDaniel didn't have the same...
To be fair, Flores also had multiple winning seasons in his 1st three years...and we all know what he started with. I'm not saying that to...
Tyreek still needs 360 yards in two games to break 2k, or an average of 180 per game. Not an impossible feat by any means but he'd have to have...
Crap, you're right...so we are guaranteed the #6. I updated my earlier post.
The Browns could get to 12 wins and take the #5. Edit- There's no competition for #6 since the Bills and Chiefs would take their divisions, and...
If Miami wins both games, we're the #1 seed. If Miami wins one or Buffalo loses one, we take the division. A few scenarios would still be in...
It does give us a good look on how to play Baltimore...their defense is humming at the moment and it will not be an easy game.
Step 1- Beat Dallas :woot: Step 1.5- 49ers destroy Baltimore on Christmas Step 2- Beat Baltimore Step 3- Bench starters for Buffalo because it...
LMAO, surprise! The Jets still aren't making the playoffs though.
LMAO, not the drywall!
Best gift ever! I got my son in law tickets to see the Panthers in two weeks. I know, it's the Panthers, but he's a big fan and was probably as...
I usually have just one thing to say around this time, but today I actually have two since there's an additional message some of our fans need to...
First impressions, the parkour system is a little clunky...maybe it's just me though in a new system. You have one key that controls jumping,...
For those of you that didn't watch, Herbert didn't play tonight due to a finger injury. The Bills barely won against the Chargers backup QB (who...
We need a block or a miss here... I feel karma coming.... Edit: Shoot, no karma
I agree. Looked like he was just up.
Don't think he's down.... But if he's down, it's over. Better for him to be up, LOL.
Watching it on a stream- it's incredibly dumb that it's not included in the Sunday Ticket or on television. Chargers are clearly still in this!
I'm in the process of downloading now- 2 of 38 gigs so far. I'll give you a non-spoiler review in a couple of days on the mechanics, playstyle, etc.
Just bought Assassin's Creed Mirage in the Epic store for $22 (sale + 33% off coupon). Has anyone played it yet?
Well, evidentially Dallas has a real Gucci bag, so there's that... I have no clue what that means and really don't want to know. You'd think a...
I like it, but I definitely wouldn't wear it, LOL.
That and his head coach, that told him if he was asked about anything other than Dallas, to reply with "F%@# off!" Salty McDaniel too!
The thing with the NFC is that they have 3 teams above .500 and the rest below .500...meaning that there's very little competition going on....
I think he gave the right message. We were overconfident, played lax, and it bit us. But at the same time, we sat Tyreek knowing that he wasn't...
I hadn't seen that exact interview, but his story has been consistent. Grier asked, "What do you think of Tyreek?" and McDaniel went full geek...
We've beaten the Ravens the past two times, and Tua is undefeated against Baltimore. It's also arguably his best game ever as a pro. The Ravens...
From running the 40 personally in college and high school, I'd vary from a 4.7 to a 4.8...and I think so much of that was the first 2-3 steps. My...
He does look to be in good shape! His soft speaking tone sort of freaked me out though, he didn't sound like the monster we saw on TV for all...
I'd be all for it too. I remember back when he was with us, they let him skip the mandatory mini camps because his personal training regimen was...
The #1 seed really is wide open still with the #11 Broncos 3 games back and three games left to play. The AFC picture will become much clearer...
Yeah, I mistakenly left the 49ers over Ravens out of that scenario, because in my mind I'm accepting that as a fact. I guess I should actually...
Here's the thing though- Brady was essentially the trophy wife since Giselle was the bread winner of the family. As popular as Brady is (in New...
I disliked him before the breakup, but I lost all respect for the guy for abandoning his family to seek football glory. Worst move he ever made...
I feel the same way, BUT that Tampa team was absolutely loaded for a 1-2 year run. Basically the same thing the Jets did this year...except it...
I think Purdy is seriously talented and again, that wasn't meant to be a knock on him at all. Jimmy G had great success in that offense as well...
I'm not sure you're correct. Tannehill was a product of Miami's system (all 5 of them). Yes, Tennessee was optimal for him just like Miami is...
49ers over Ravens. Miami over Dallas. The only two games that currently matter.
I completely agree and really, the same argument could be made for Sparano, Ricky Williams, and Chad Henne. I remember "fist pump" Tony saying it...
In that photo, his nose looks straight. Are we sure it's broken? I'm not a doctor, mind you, I just play one on the internet. LOL
I agree. We beat the Cowboys. The 49ers beat the Ravens. Then we beat the Ravens and week 18 is a throwaway game that doesn't matter. Dinged...
I remembered that you built a big home a few years ago, but I didn't expect 3.2M! LOL!
The biggest thing I've advocated for since joining this forum is stability- same QB, coach, offensive coordinator, and GM. That's such a huge...
I'm feeling 34-14, with our defense having a big day and multiple Tua/Tyreek deep ball sightings.
It is, but there's a 98% chance we're in the playoffs. Our greatest odds are as the 1, 2, or 3 seed (16%, 27%, 27%). The only team with better...
Two teams fully control their own destiny each season to put themselves in the best possible position to make it to the Super Bowl. And if we're...
Every team, every year, thinks the exact same thing...or at least their fan base does. If we just won that one game, if the ref didn't throw the...
Err, umm....LOL. I admit that I don't follow Dallas and was taking the national narrative. Sadly, if they spanked Philly then I either...
Like us, Dallas has not beaten a team with a winning record. Buffalo ran all over them yesterday and I think Dallas has to be reeling. Whether...
Mostert goes to wherever the hole is, so that should work out well, LOL. His first TD this week was supposed to be an inside run but the Jets...
Yeah, if we win out, that gives the Ravens four losses and we'd have the tie-breaker. So we're still technically in control of the #1 seed, but...
Aah, that makes sense- don't just bet the main card but several fights throughout the night. For that, you really have to know MMA.
Yup, we saw the blueprint and I expect we'll do the exact same thing. Heavy outside run game until they shut it down. I don't know about you...
I don't think it's the quarterback position that breaks the salary cap, it's the Van Ginkel's of the league that over-perform and have to decide...
You BOTH bet on MMA? That's pretty wild since anything can happen in the cage. I mean, who could have predicted McGreggor would break his leg a...
I get what others are crying about- do I want Tua to be able to throw with the velocity of Tannehill on some of the deeper throws? Absolutely....
Unless we win the next two, then week 18 is meaningless. That's the best case scenario since we'd be the #1 seed regardless of anything else. 1)...
Yeah, they look really bad today...or the Bills just look like champions...or both.
If we win 2 of the next 3, we take the division. If we win all three, we take the #1 seed. If we win one of three or none, then there are...
Sorry I forgot to update this week. Today, we want four games in particular: 1) Dolphins win! (& the Jets lose, woot woot) 2) Cowboys over Bills...
I said I was nervous about this one- and I'm not nervous anymore. Is that the sort of thing you're looking for? LOL
Didn't watch the game, just caught bits and pieces, but this is an impressive win. It easily could have been a low scoring defensive battle.
Here's what we found out: [MEDIA]
It is desperation, we had a bad run of linemen injuries at the worst possible time. We should skate by this week but then it gets serious of the...
In the title you say "we open next year in Brazil". Does that mean week 1 is locked? That honestly wouldn't be terrible for an international game.
I started to say that you were right about 1 of our 10 games this season, but then I realized you were quoting a post from Rick...you certainly...
I don't watch the Jets (at all!) but didn't Zach Wilson have a really solid game last week? For them, that's surging...LOL.
No, but 62 of 75 completions in his direction...that's alarming. The 7 TD's doesn't sound that big either, but how many TD's did we give up over...
I won't make a prediction this week- I'm scared as well. The Jets are surging and we suddenly have a very beat up offensive line. Tyreek will...
Here's the thing- I think confidence was so high going into that game that none of us thought they could lose. What I want to see is a clear...
Every team has lost to a lousy team when the stars align, so this certainly is not panic time. The Jets have a little momentum though and that...
Oh my gosh- that made me furious when X was pulled to the ground on a ball he would have picked off. The ref was right there as well. But the...
Well, to someone with faith, it means everything.
Terrible effort in the 4th quarter and down the stretch, not sure what McDaniel was thinking. Hopefully Tyreek is okay. Tua was way off tonight...
Yeah, but Howard got revenge the next two plays. The missed call still gave them a field goal, but it felt good for Howard to throw him to the...
Yup, all we need to do is win and the rest doesn't matter. It would be nice for KC to drop another one, and Jax should be far enough back to not...
Well, Jax is going to lose. Ravens just won in OT in dynamic fashion (punt return with 5 missed tackles). We're 1 for 2 on the day anyway.
Duke Riley is a great teammate and a dream player coming off the bench. Folks like that never get enough credit in pro sports- being...
You man-whore! LMAO
Okay, last one. I'm striking out. [IMG]
I literally looked for a good 5 minutes- I added a few more but they're all "eh".
[IMG] I couldn't help myself, I had to google "Brad meme" to see what was out there. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
LMAO, did you find that as-is or have to edit it? Either way it's hysterical!
First thoughts- she's beautiful, she's sexy, she's incredibly fit...and then something felt off. In that photo, her face looks manly to me and I...
I used to feel really bad for the Browns and would root for them, but that all went out the window once they vastly overpaid for Watson. If they...
It's shocking that our kickers didn't make the list, LOL. I was very impressed, on the other hand, that Furgueson is #4 for long snappers. In...
Barry is an idiot to the extreme, and this is just another example. Miami is not cheating. If that play was "illegal", then the refs should...
I always saw it- his college film and his NFL tape from the first few years were not the same guy. I think his bone marrow surgery just took that...
That must be wrong- Herbert should clearly be #1 in voting since everyone knows how great he is.
Still looks great on paper- for us, LOL.
If I had to guess, McDaniel will care less about setting records. Either they come organically or they don't happen at all. However, I can see...
I'm glad they shined some light on Gink and the work he's doing.
Yeah, I thought about that too. The team is going for all sorts of passing/rushing/catching records this season.
