OK Miami Dolphins fans, I’m talking to YOU! I implore you not to overreact. We had a 5 game winning streak going and it was nice. We were winning in all 3 phases of the game, offense, defense and special teams, we were doing whatever it took to win. We came into Denver as the favorites and the Broncos did something no other team in the last 5 games were able to do. They out-physicalled our team, on both sides of the ball. The type of pressure they brought against our young rookie QB seemed to slow down his processing and instead of seeing the field well like he normally does, he often looked stuck in cement as the rush overtook him. It happens. Our O-line which has been stout as can be looked overmatched. Our front 7 could not apply pressure after the first Denver drive where we forced the INT. After that, the Broncos adjusted and held off our pass rush and ran all over us with either Melvin Gordon or Phillip Lindsay. It was a true team loss, so get your heads out of your asses and stop blaming the loss on the rookie QB!
This week’s opponent could potentially be the remedy to rebound from a poor week but I’m not feeling that way. It looks like QB Sam Darnold is likely to start and he’s coming back to an offense that is in better shape now than it was when he got hurt. Rookie WR Denzel Mims is healthy and has been playing very well the last 4 games with 13 receptions for 217 yards and a heady 16.7 YPC. Breshad Perriman is banged up but has scored 3 TD’s in the last 2 games. Rookie RB La’Mical PEE-rine is on IR leaving the solid former Dolphins RB Frank Gore as the primary ballcarrier. The 0-10 Jets on paper look ripe for an easy week for the Dolphins but we Dolphins fans know it doesn’t work like that. The Fitz led Dolphins cruised to a 24-0 shutout of the Jets in Miami where I recall we left a lot of points off the board. RB Myles Gaskin rushed for 91 yards and Fitzpatrick had an uneven day with 3 TD’s and 2 INT’s. It looks like rookie RB Salvon Ahmed (SUH-von ACK-med) will get the start although he’s got a sore shoulder. One thing I noticed after seeing more of Ahmed is that he’s more of a scatback, when he gets hit, he either goes down or backwards. It was pretty similar with Gaskin although to a lesser extent. We’re not going to run any team down with our smaller stable of RB’s.
The New York Jets are 32nd in offensive scoring at 14,9 PPG. They are 31st in giving up points at 30.2 PPG. In contrast, the Dolphins are 13th in offensive scoring at 26.4 PPG and top 5 (4th) in defensive scoring allowing only 20.2 PPG. With division rovalries like these, I normally say throw this stuff out the window. I think the one thing we have in our favor is that even if the Jets put up a good fight I don’t believe they really want to win another game and put themselves in peril of losing the chance of getting QB Trevor Lawrence. Then again, everyone said the same about us at just about the same time of the season and we proved them wrong winning 3 of our last 5 games. What I really want to see is our team look right again. It will be good to have DL Christian Wilkins back on our defense. I want the O-line to blow open holes for whomever is carrying the ball and I want Tua protected. I want the defense to once again create pressure and force turnovers. I want the whole team to get back on the horse and just be like they were during our 5 game win streak and put last week’s loss behind them. I trust Coach Brian Flores to accomplish that on Sunday.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your families from us at FinsMobUnleashed!

I heard on NFL radio that the reason the Ravens/Steelers game was moved to Wednesday was because NBC wanted to have the Rockefeller Center Tree lighting ceremony on Tuesday night. Whatevs . . . .
Using your power to force the page turn again I see…….
Mike
I heard a variation and all I can do is laugh
I heard the game was moved from Tomorrow night to Wens night bc the Ravens complained that they needed to practice and need Tuesday
And then bc CBS (not nbc) had previously contracted to have the tree lighting during prime time, CBS insisted the game be played before 4pm….
And now I can’t stop laughing about how fucking crazy the world has become
Good grief, it’s snowing. As if we aren’t already suffering enough. ❄️ 😭
It’s been pouring here off and on all day and it’s warm. I guess you have colder temps.
It was warmer earlier, rain off and on all day, then temps dropping and snow. Got a call that school is cancelled tomorrow ….WTF? Did they forget they are remote right now and not actually going to school? 😂
How long does it take to plug in a string of lights? Why couldn’t they play the game and still show the tree lighting thing during one of the commercial breaks?
Lol, that’s funny
That’s why sports shouldn’t be shown on them fancy ass channels!
Wentzehill
They should get Louis Riddick out of there, Brian Griese is pretty good, then Louis comes in all espnie with all of his “football “ words like he’s teaching you something every time we’re lucky enough for him to utter words to us.
LOL
Was really good to see Wilkins back yesterday, he makes our defense better. He’s so versatile and active. He’s always jumps out.
Saturday night game day after Christmas? What a bunch of shit.
Squeal Pig it’s your birthday 🎂
I know its exciting at 7-4 and being in the playoff hunt, but imagine being 4-7 and still being able to win your division.
That would have been nice for us the last 20 years!

Raiders to me represent the bottom of the wild card chances. They are probably the best team at about the cutoff record for right now at 6-5, though i might revise that statement if the Ravens lose Wednesday night.
Either way, right now we have a game advantage over them, but how does the rest of our schedule look vs theirs. I think we have 2 better than 50% chance of winning, 2 with a better than 50% chance of losing and 1 thats a dead even, which is the Raiders game. For the Raiders i think they have a slightly better match up set towards the end of the season with 2 better than 50% chance of winning, 2 505/50’s and one less than 50% chance of winning.
If they go 2-1 before they get to the game against us and we go 2-1 before they get us, which is kind of my prediction, then we will have the one game lead and have the chance to eliminate them if we win, they on the other hand would have to beat us and then still win their last one or we lose out last one. Our last game against the Bills is the one where i think we have a less than 50% chance of winning as we are at their stadium and its going to be fucking crazy cold.The plus side of it is i have the Raiders playing a 50/50 at Denver, also in adverse weather conditions.
We would be at a pretty big disadvantage though if we dont beat the Raiders, as we would then need to beat the Bills with a lot stacked against us. i dont do predictions but i could definitely see this scenario unfolding: We get in with a 10-6 record, as one of the WC teams, beating the Raiders, both eliminating them and lock us into the playoffs.
If we can do the above and then beat the Bills on the last game, that last game might be for the division title, but hopefully we have already locked in our playoff spot and that wont make a difference in getting in or not.
Minimum 10-6 to get in, 11-5 probably gets us the division title. I think Raiders is a must win, thought not statistically, and to me Bills is a must win to give us momentum into the playoffs and i would really like that division title.
Not as nuanced as you, but heck yeah the Raiders game is gonna be a must win. Same goes for the Pats. Bills we can lose and still make the playoffs if hit those two must wins before that. And Jills will have to implode to not win the division.

PED suspensions, and i already saw where Fuller was trying to throw a mysterious “Dr.” which he didnt name, prescribing him a “medicine” which he also didnt name, that he was told by the Dr wasnt on the banned list. See with such non specific details and the fact that they get a full list of banned medicines every year as part of their player handbook, im just gonna call BS on all that noise.
CBA lets the NFL suspend players for PED, but doesn’t let it announce what for. So you get caught….. spin away. Was all GNC’s fault.
If he got 6 games then odds are he was caught with PEDs before. If I recall correctly, the league doesn’t make an announcement or suspension like this unless it’s at least the second time.

Oooo oooo oo
If Houston loses the 4 of the last 3, the two to the Colts and the one to the Titans, plus the one ill say probably at this point is 50/50 with the Bears, they will finish 5-11, which probably puts us around 8 with their pick.and hopefully 25+ with ours. Kind an awkward split, especially if we want to grab a top WR but not reach for one. 8 might still be a good place for a trade back though, since i have a feeling there will be several QB’s that teams will want a shot at and might move up some to get, but given how many pretty solid QB’s they will have the choice over might not net us the haul it would if they were a little rarer next year.

Bills still have 2 tough ones, Steelers and the 9’ers. Realistically they could finish 10-6 if we beat them as well, which would give us the division, if we are almost perfect through the end. Like i said though, thats gonna be a helluva tough game for us to win, but maybe we can play up to it if it means we win the division.
Technically they could go 3-2 and still lose the division if that last game is a loss to us. Either way, we can do it, its just gonna have to be a near perfect end to the season.

No i think you are missing what im saying, he went to twitter making the accusations, so at that point if he wanted to be convincing he could have said it was this medication by this Dr. and i was duped, by withholding that information, i feel he is being deceitful and most likely he knew exactly what he was doing. Maybe ya did get what im saying but i cant exactly tell from the reply.
I was saying he was not telling the truth about what he took that got him a bad test. Are we not on the same page?

I think thats right, i think the first one might be a slap on the wrist, no announcement and you go on a list of violators which gets you higher scrutinized, ie tested more frequently.

Hey, maybe i can get an answer from some of you guys since you’re already old. When does falling becomes surreal slow motion like. I just had a cat trip me up and i went to the ground hard, but it felt like it took 15 seconds to finally hit the ground. Also when i hit the ground my body wouldn’t let me get back up. It made me lay there and assess the damage done for a while before eventually giving into the attempt to get back up. This is like 2nd or 3rd fall i have had where this is the case now over the past few years.. I know when i was younger, id hit the ground fast and be up about as fast, hell i played football thats like part of every damn play. So i guess what im saying is have i crossed the magic line into old man land and am i now part of ya’lls group?
Kinda scary thought…..
What is your age D?
Way he talks about being young……D is like 24.
He has been on here too long to be that age
44
I’m not a ton younger than most on here lol, i just like to give y’all shit about it lol.
Then you have 2 years 3 months and 18 days until that happens lol
Ever seen Young Sheldon?
In all honesty it depends on how active you remain. I am 56 and I go to the gym at least 5 days a week doing cardio kickboxing, intervals and spinning. I play softball and until Covid hit I played basketball 2-3 times a week. I was getting knocked down all the time playing hoops as finesse is not part of my game and never had a problem getting up. So stay active and you will be fine

All this time I thought D was a young buck and here he was an old fuck all along.
You are only 7 years younger than me!
And I still bounce. 😉
Im usually stable as you can be, in football they called me “weeble wobble” because when i was in 8th grade and moved up to varsity the senior tried to “welcome” me and i took some flat out shots from them and never got knocked down, they were impressed and gave me that nickname. So i really am not use to falling sensation, except in football where you are a lot more prepared for it.
I wanna say Steve, M13, and i think SB7 are all around my age maybe younger.
Kong too i think.
I think SB7 is older. Remember he is a big Jake Scott and I was a youngin in the heady days of Jake Scott and the 72 Dolphins
Each time it has happened my mind had moved past the situation that caused it, like i was already walking past that last step and then boom cat… so all that quick adjustment to get back in the “now” and adjust for the situation may have been part of what felt like a time warp. Same thing kinda int he other two circumstances, i was already thinking past the stage i was one to the next step when reality told me, oh but you aren’t done with this part yet lol.
D, I thought you were going to say “the next two times the cat tripped me….” to which I was going to reply “time to get rid of that cat”
lol, yeah i kinda thought i might this time lol. When i was laying there i sure considered it lol.

Honey, I’m sorry but the cat had a terrible accident and is dead.

He tripped me
Huh? what do you mean? what was the terrible accident?
I told you already. He tripped me.

Ken,
I’ve never seen Jake Scott play live. I’m the same age as D, at least for 13 more days.
I feel deceived lol
So why such a Jake Scott fan?
A story for another time. Lol.
Deceptive and cryptic 🤔😆
I saw some games on TV during the Jake Scott era but I was very young and didn’t watch sports like I do now.
Would like to know sb7’s story though.
I actually remember watching Jake Scott. I was young but I remember he and Dick Anderson was the best combo of safeties I have ever seen play
Between like 7-10 years old I knew positions and who they were but mostly from posters and trading cards. The NFL on TV was very limited back then.
I just turned 46, so I guess I’m part of the ‘young’ FMU demographic.
I know I can still walk around a cat without falling on my ass in slow motion, so perhaps I’m especially youthful for my age. 😉
LMAO!!!!
Apes and cats can coexist
LOL, and we need to get to 8-4 before that last quarter of games.
So true
LMAO @ Kong!
What pisses me off a little bit is knowing that a team will probably finish the season with as many wins as we have today and make the playoffs (NFCE) and we still have to hope for 10 freaking wins!
Not hope, the team has to go out and win them. We know we have a good competitive team. How good, we’ll continue to find that out. I’m enjoying it.
We as fans can only help. It’s not like they are ringing my phone to hold kicks for them. LOL
**can only hope
LOL
this is some vicious shit. LOL
Both teams did it to themselves
D – love that story man, it’s awesome! I don’t understand it exactly but it’s funny as hell.

I sure as hell know who Esperanza Spalding is, bud! She’s absolutely AMAZING!
I do a Zoom music appreciation thing once a week with long time friends all over the country and this week was Esperanza Spalding – Emily’s D+Evolution. Now I listened to the album and loved it. Then started watching her live and now I’m on a universal odyssey orgasm – in a musical way. 😉
She’s AMAZING is right!! This is some of the best natural music I have heard in a long time. I’m a big fan just in case I didn’t mention that. LOL
You ROCK, Bro! Happy you dig her.
Methinks you’ve got a great ear for music!
M13, I do have a good ear for myself but I know a lot of good musicians who hear the same thing that I do, so it kind of confirms it for me. But someone like Esperanza, I mean… what are you not hearing? LOL
Right?!! LOL
Tim, when you do a Zoom music appreciation thing once a week with long time friends all over the country, you should introduce them to the Ahn Trio. I think(?) I introduced you to them once before after I saw them live, but here they are again…
And yes… this is the kind of music I’m now delving into as a producer.
I love stuff like this, but it’s too much for extended periods of time. That’s why it never mainstreams. Gotta write good songs. This type of music belongs with visuals.
Tim,
What do you make of this?
That’s bad-ass. I love the visual representation of the music in whatever program he was using to produce it.
😀
Dig it, man!! You should listen to Symphonic Metal. It’s right in line with this just some rock instrumentation added. Have you ever heard of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra? That’s what it would be. Very cool, good stuff!

He’s a very good teacher of the game. We’ve had years worth of conversations about defensive coverage, structures, front, protections and pressures… it’s been 14-15 years of these same conversations. He’s a good coach.

Coach on WR separation statistics.
Guy like DeVante, if the guy is on his back and you throw it inside, his arm length is the separation. As a QB you just need to know the builds of your WRs. A smaller guy…you might have to fit a tighter window. It’s all case-by-case.

Lol for some fucking reason it is a gift i have to find myself in situations that while mildly embarrass are indeed entertaining and funny lol.I dont mind the shame of my actions though, if it can bring a laugh.Suffice to say, if shit can happen to someone, even if the overall percentage chance of it happening like that is extremely small, ill find myself right there.
That program they are using up there looks like a high end version of something I use to play around with called fruity loops. I made a pretty badass gabber track using nothing but video game sound clips and a drum kit.
Rock if the guy was leaning forward in that slow mo fall video that would be pretty close to dead on how I felt and probably looked lol
Scary to me that the Steelers aren’t mathematically set to have a playoff spot, there are still things that could keep them out with 10 wins. Im sure it includes losing every game from here on out and other teams winning from here on out, but even with 10 wins they cant say they have a guaranteed spot. My guess is a win on Wednesday and they will have locked a spot though, and probably one more win anytime over the next 6 games will lock them in.
Giant and Eagles would be guaranteed a playoff spot with 9 wins.

where’s my buddy Steve? did the radical left discourage him?
Don’t think it that. He was still here talking good football after the election. Hope life didn’t throw him some kind of bump.
TOP on the other hand went on leave right after election night.
I’ve been farting on this blog since the election

Dolphins 11.5 favorites on Sunday….. when’s the last time we had a number like that?
I think steve is out looking for all those Trump ballots. 🙂
If he is in Georgia he may find them.
Phelon – do you really believe that Trump won the election, or would have won if not for cheating?
Mike – I find it hard to believe that cheating on that scale could go undetected. On the other hand there is already definitive proof that groups are trying to cheat in the Georgia Senatorial run off elections by registering out of state, dead, and otherwise ineligible voters. If they would cheat in this one why would anyone believe that there wasn’t cheating in the presidential? And the commonality is absentee voting.
I’m sure there is always foul play involved in every election. On the other hand, I don’t believe the election was stolen from Trump. I think the anomalies that are often pointed to such as votes only for President as opposed to voting the entire ticket just proves how many people came out to vote to get rid of Trump and didn’t even care about the rest. It’s beyond time to move past this already.
I’m not sure that without putting to rest the anomalies in a definitive way we can move on. When groups started by the likes of Stacy Abrams and recently run by one the Senate candidates don’t even try hard to hide they are attempting fraud, it it will be hard to convince that they didn’t do the same before. And if we don’t have confidence in the integrity of our elections, we are headed the way of the Balkans. Nothing to do with Trump.
Phish
Stacey Abrams didn’t commit fraud by registering new voters who never voted before. Those are real people hat just never voted before
Donald Trump won Florida by getting 200k new voters to register in Miami/Dade to vote for him
It’s an effective strategy on both sides
Most of those new voters in Miami/Dade are for out of state and are loosely connected to Florida
In fact, Donald Trump did it himself and voted in Florida
The stuff people are suggesting is fraud, is not fraud and it cuttingly doesn’t shift the balance for one side
Trump is just a sore loser and there’s an entire political campaign devoted to making it seem like being a cry baby is okay, and the reality is it’s not

God knows it pains me to agree with anything Stabby says, BUT i 100% agree with both of these guys and i have said it before. When we picked him up, part of me was hella excited because he is QB skills wise one of the best i have ever seen too, but up there in that noggin is a damn mess. His personality sucks, he is coo coo crazy, he’s probably got 40 certifiable issues, but just athletically he was born to play that position. I wish it had worked out for him here, but just as the other half of me was saying when we got him, It was never meant to work out, he will not get out of his own way, hell i dont think he can.
The Georgia Republican Governor and Secretary of State don’t believe there was election fraud. Just saying
Haven’t you heard the latest
Neither him nor Bill Barr are republicans anymore….
They said things the president disagreed with so they don’t count anymore….lol
Also if there was election fraud in Georgia then how come the 2 democratic senate candidates didn’t outright win?
For the suspense of a runoff
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
The point to me is, if you cant prove election fraud in several states, it doesn’t do you any good. He lost by more than just Georgia. I do think that fraud, like anything, should be tracked down, its something you need to acknowledge, investigate and find no instance of it, or you are just turning a blind eye, but again, does it affect the result, no. Really it might do is if can be traced back far enough (it wont someone will be paid to be the fall guy) it only opens up to a impeachment proceeding (which wont have the votes to proceed) and god knows we need another one of those right now in the middle of all this shitty political stuff we are already dealing with.
Voting fraud or anomalies usually occurs in a handful of votes up to a couple of hundred votes historically speaking. There has never been any documented cases of voting fraud or irregularities in anything close to the type of numbers to change the election in any state nor the multiple states Trump would need to change the election

Adding in young players from other teams might disrupt that, adding in vets might be better but i dont wanna discourage any of the young guys on our team by adding a vet we want as a starter. I think the best way to approach FA this year would be to get a few guys that help fill out the roster, guys known for their work ethic etc that would help the starters really continue to progress, a Fitz type guy for some of the other groups. We might want to consider 1 top FA and the rest be blue collar types.
A few that i wouldn’t mind seeing as a top market pickup would be:Leonard Williams, Shaq Barrett, or maybe Bud Dupree and maybe Justin Simmons. Players i would pick up at the right price, with potential to start, but no intention to leapfrog our current guy: Alex Mack, Brian Poole, KJ Wright. Players i would take for backup/second chance type contracts.Solomon Thomas, Daniel Sorensen, Sheldon Rankins.
you dot have to ponder on it too long to determine if a politician would and probably in some way did cheat in an election. Just like with my test for if they are lying, ie their lips moving, the truth is, the way you know if a politician did something unethical in an election (maybe not even needed to win) all ya have to know was they participated in one.We literally have some of the most disgusting miscreants run for office every year, and for every one solid dutiful one trying to get things done for the citizens, you have 2-3 slimballs getting more done but only benefiting themselves.
Ken – Not that I believe it was the fault of the Democratic party, but like I mentioned a moment ago I do think people just voted against Trump and didn’t bother to vote the entire ticket. Seems like that happened a lot around the country.
I agree
Oddly enough…. Trump thinks that the GOP did well in Senate, House and local election is proof there was fraud. I think it just shows some independents just didn’t want him around anymore.
Pigs/Ken – Not talking past, talking now. GA Secretary of State has 250-ish investigations going regarding the run offs. And the group that Stacy Abrams started is among them and has been trying to register out of state voters. That’s not the same as registering new voters.
Like I said to Mike, I don’t think there was enough to change the election. Trump didn’t do enough to win. But don’t pretend that there wasn’t fraud and the people that committed it won’t do it again. Or that it wasn’t made possible by the expansion of mail in votes that democratic run states put in place at the last minute.
Frankly, who is President is nearly irrelevant and as long the Supreme Court is conservative the Senate is not much more important. If the SC reinstitutes the non-delegation doctrine, and I think they will, they will undo the most of the damage that the administrative state has caused. Shrink the government and make congress do their job.
So if there is voter fraud going on investigate and charge those responsible. Always though unlikely to happen in any large scale way. Who would commit a felony to cast one vote? But if going on…. put the person behind bars.
I agree. Investigate and put them in jail.
Anyone watching the game? Ravens blew it at the end of the 1st half.
They did
I want Miami to knock Pittsburgh out of the play offs on a Parker catch over Minkah Fuck Face.
Id rather that happen with them already having a loss though lol
Just not tonight. Need B-more to drop one. Give a little more room in the wildcard.
Phish
If some one is voting for dead people and coordinating that or switching votes or something nefarious like that, they should absolutely go to jail
That’s a felony and people have been charged and served time for it before
But what’s going on here after the 2020 election is throwing around the word fraud for things that’ aren’t even close to fraud.
And it’s really one sided and just about trying to help the losing party win rather than general fairness. I mentioned that new voter turnout in Miami/Dade. Ken mentioned the GA runoff which isn’t ideal for democrats, There are other examples: Alaska was one of the last states to declare a winner but bc they fell red, no one cares how long it took them to count mail in ballots. It’s all one sided bc the person putting it out there is a big baby and a sore loser. Utah sang the praises of mail in voter in 2016 and no one cared bc it was beet red when the votes were counted.
These things that people are raising now are normal in elections and do not affect the outcome and more importantly are not fraud or supported by evidence. Bill Barr publicly stated a lack of evidence of anything affecting the election yesterday and was disavowed by the maga crowd for it.
The president is just being a sore loser. I just don’t think anyone should be elevating what is going on to anything more Than a sore loser
So yeah I agree: investigate it and out people who did it in jail. But let’s be real about it – there a reality star which a big microphone that gains a lot by theatrically making a mountain out of a molehill .
I just turned on the game and I can’t believe it’s this close with the ravens missing as many players as they are
So, just to be clear, we are rooting for the division leader to keep the lead and the team that is 6-4 behind us in the hunt to lose. We don’t GAF about the 1972 codgers old record. I actually hope someone will pass it so folks will shut up about what happened nearly half a century ago. I was freakin 2yo.
No, I’m rooting for the ravens
Im with the Pigster, i am no fan of Baltimore but fuck those black and gold fuckers. I especially dont wanna lose the only undefeated status to them. We will get in on our own merit if we just fucking play well. If we dont, we shouldn’t get in there anyways.
Yes. Let someone else beat PIt.
I dunno, i really love being the only team to have that record. I do want to have things with our current team to have pride about, but i really would hate to lose that one, especially during the season that Shula died in.
It’s a no-brainer that we want the Ravens to lose. The Steelers could still lose a game after this game. I agree the chance to make the playoffs this year is more important than being the only team with a perfect season 48 years ago. I hope the Steelers don’t do it but I care more about our team this year and moving forward.
Pigs – you guys keep talking about Trump. Y’all need to get over him and move on. I’m not talking about the presidential election. Trump lost. Nothing is going to change that. I’m talking about the GA run offs.
The only reason anyone is talking about fraud in the election is bc trump is insisting it costs him
He’s actually probably hurting the republicans in the GA runoff by causing people to lose faith in elections

We need Pitt to win tonight to pad our advantage. There are already Pitt and the Browns above us from the north. It is conceivable that 3 teams from the North can get in.
See i dont really thing that matters much, we right now pretty much control our own destiny, we play our best through the end of the season we are in, and if we dont, then we shouldn’t be there anyways and we probably lose int he first round anyways. Id rather Pitt lose and for several reasons, on being i dont like either but i like the Steelers less.
There is a perfect example of how the transmission of covid can happen. You see the guys breath streaming out behind them in the cold as they run. That cloud of moisture from their lungs isn’t only there when it is cold, you can just see it more easily then. That cloud is loaded with whatever that guy has. I noticed a DB chasing a WR and he was in the cloud of the WR’s breath the whole way. LOL
Its like watching a PAC man munch on blips, OM NOM NOM covid droplets!

The problem with this reasoning is we may very well be fucked already then. Losing our first two games, both inside the division, this year could count us out when the numbers get tight at the end of the year.
A win will jump the ravens over us in the playoff race. I care MUCH more about our playoff chances / scenarios THIS YEAR than some 50 year old record that means NOTHING to our chances this season. The possibility that we can win 10 games and still not get into the playoffs (as has happened to us twice in recent memory) is worse to me than there only being 5 more shots to stop their undefeated season.
Besides, NE already beat Miami’s win record. They just lost in the SB. SOOOOOOO, we should all root for the Steelers to win all the way to the conference game (which would help our chances of getting in) and then have US beat them in the conference game to stop the undefeated season at the same time.
THERE!
Beat them with a Parker reception over Millennial Minkah Fuck Face.
With Devante catching the game winner over Minkah Fuck Face
Who says different sides can’t find common ground?
The Ravens don’t jump us with a win. We will still have a better conference record (4-3 to 5-4)
Piggy – People started losing confidence in our elections when Gore sued. Then in 2016 when the democrats claimed Russian interference and spent the next 4-years acting like spoiled 3-year olds who didn’t get the candy they wanted. Your party created Trump. Don’t whine and whinge because he is acting just like your side did.
These are really false equivalencies to what trump is doing now – it’s no surprise at this point after the last 4 years, it’s the only way anyone ever defended trump, it’s almost expected now that some one says “you did it first”
Trust me: I’m not whining. I’m laughing. Keep doing it. I’m all for it. But make no mistake about it, it is in line with the sort of things trump did before the election, that cost him the election, and he’s still got the biggest mircrophone in the party, so it might cost the GA Republican candidates in January too
It’s very hard to inspire people to take the time the vote out of one side of the mouth, and then question the integrity of elections out of the other. That’s a difficult balancing act to try to play.
My prediction for Georgia is it goes 1 for 1
But if anything can sway it to go 2-0 in favor of the democrats, it’s exactly what the party as doing as a whole right now concerning November’s results
I gotta admit I find Rock’s scenario with Parker scorching MFFF for the win VERY enticing!
That was Phish’s but I adopted it into my scheme because it works so well. LOL
I’m wholeheartedly with Piggy and D. Getting a playoff game in a rebuild year isn’t worth nearly as much to me as having an unassailable position when talking smack with friends or other teams’ fans about team legacy. Protect the undefeated season. If we were legitimate SB contenders, I’d probably feel different.
For those who cherish a playoff game more, the Ravens losing this game is a pretty important for us. Their only other potential loss is the Browns unless they drop one to a bottom dweller. And projecting us to lose to the Bills and Chiefs, we need them to get two more losses.
There’s nothing more important than winning now. I’m a Marine so tradition and history is very important. But history ain’t shit if it means losing today.
Then if we want to make the playoffs, win an extra game, don’t rely on a Ravens loss. I’d rather take it than depend on another team losing it.
Bingo!
We control our own destiny. So if we ‘win now’, we’ll make the playoffs. We don’t have to root for a Ravens loss.
The Ravens losing doesn’t effect us making the playoffs or not, but it does effect playoff positioning.
We are ahead of them in conference record, so if we win out we stay ahead of them.
We have a much tougher schedule down the stretch.
We’re either good enough or we aren’t. We take care of business against the Bengals, Pets, and Raiders, we’ll make the playoffs.
Nobody is saying don’t take care of our own business. But the Ravens losing is better for us. I for one will be more bummed out if we fall short of the playoffs than the Steelers going undefeated. Live in the moment not in the past.
I’m not trying to change your position, I’m just defending my own. I understand being in a minority.
I still talk smack with football fans all the time, so the undefeated season matters to me, it’s relative to me now, not just in the past.
It’s all good. At this stage of my life no football fans of other teams I talk to even care about the perfect season. They say okay, when’s the last time you won anything?
Exactly, we haven’t won shit in 4 decades, and haven’t been consistently good for 2, so the undefeated team is all we have at this point, lol.
Phish – Props for the Parker/MFFF scenario. I LOVE IT!!
🤙
It doesn’t matter anyway, the Ravens aren’t winning this game.

it depends Kong, the tie breaker between TWO teams is different than between THREE teams or more, but after eliminations by tie breakers (I.e. one of the 3 is eliminated) then you go back to the two team tie breaker
The FIRST tiebreaker between two teams, regardless of which division they are in, is best won-lost-tied percentage inside the division.
Either way, it is over now and I got what I wanted so NEENER NEENER FUCKING NEENER
(after head to head record if the teams play, which we don’t)
https://www.nfl.com/standings/tie-breaking-procedures
Read the whole thing… 😉
Rules are different for WC. The first tie breaker is head to head, 2nd is conference record.
But as you said, you got what you wanted, so it’s moot, lol.
