pjbear05 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I'm going to watch my first NFL game of the season tomorrow. I want to see this Josh Allen that I've been hearing aboot lead a violent beatdown of the Miami Dolphins. 1:00pm, on CBS I believe. The Dolphins are going to blown out today. Their fans might want to hope none of the 4 realistic scenarios that put them in the playoffs don’t happen. Because then they’ll get humiliated in the playoffs. Yet again.I hope you have Sunday Ticket so you can watch some meaningful football today instead of the Jets-Patriots. The Dolphins fan ridiculing the Patriots fan about meaningful games. :lol:If all I had to watch today was the meaningless Jets Patriots game I'd probably scan the TV listings to see if there was some soccer on. You should watch the Dolphins Bills game. If the Dolphins win they’re in the playoffs. :lol:Just our luck, the Bills are coming off a bye week. Getting nervous? You should be. Your favorite team is doing what they've done for a generation. Sh*tting the bed when it counts. New year, same old garbage "Fins." :lol: Brady's going to the playoffs again, though. They must have a great system in Tampa. :wacko:The Sun-Sentinel had a field day reporting on the Dolphin Demise. General screwups, "who do we consider on draft day ?" " WTF happened? ", etc. Fins beat writer Orlando Kelly had a good piece questioning if Tua is the end all an be all he was touted as. As you said m8, same old garbage. Added: Dolphins OC Chan Gailey gets it in the ass. Fired.Edit: Apparently the information about Chan Gailey being fired, which I saw go across the ESPN bottom screen ticket while lunching at a bar, had not been fully checked out, and was put out by mistake. He apparently was NOT fired. ESPN announced they "regret the error." " Come on ya motherf--er get your right foot right! "Wednesday Chan Gailey announced he was designing as Dolphins OC.

driventotheedge Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I despise the stealers but Alan Faneca should be in. So should Tony Boselli. O-linemen never get the love they should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driventotheedge Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Wondering if folks here feel like the Browns are getting the shaft from the NFL by being forced to play with a bunch of guys and Head Coach out due to Covid? Is it yet another example of the league helping the stealers as they've done numerous times in the past or is it simply a matter of no consistency in the approach to Covid (Broncos had to pay with a WR at QB but Ravens got rescheduled several times).

There's no replacement game for TV, for example, and then there's short rest for the team that advances.

goose Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 (edited) Seahawks Rams was a great game. When Wolford went down, I thought the Rams were done, but their rookie RB Akers carried them through...till he got hurt. The Rams defense kept timely pressure on Wilson...and that puck six was a great read. Goff looked mediocre most of the game, but made a couple of really good plays to make a difference. A nice team effort. Edited January 10, 2021 by goose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Principled Man Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 and that pick six was a great read. Darious Williams' pick-6 reminded us Packer fans of Al Harris' pick-6 of Seattle's Matt Hasselbeck in Overtime, in the 2003 Playoffs. The pass play was quite similar, to the same side of the field. Williams even has Harris' jersey number of 31.... :laughing guy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driventotheedge Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 I have one thing to say about Pete Carroll since the death of Paul Allen, the only person he's ever answered to in Seattle:"absolute power corrupts absolutely". If I'm Wilson, I want out yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
