7-4 would look A LOT nicer right now than 6-5, considering the teams ahead of Miami right now for the Wild Card. I have a bad feeling that this game is going to be the difference between getting to the playoffs and going home at the end of the season. **** refs from Pittsburgh.
This one could really end up hurting. Honestly right now it's hard not to worry about how tough it will be to win out.
They might not have to win out, but who knows. Every game from now on should be looked at as a must win. I believe that they can win the remaining regular season games. Even with the injuries, I have faith that this team is finally getting it together at the right time. Henning needs to keep the playbook open...
If that game really is the difference in us being in the playoffs or not......I will truely PUKE! Its not enough I got a fkin Steelers bumper sticker on my car over that BS, enough is enough.
It does suck but in the end I don't think it will matter personally. We won't end up withing one game of the Steelers record IMO. If we do come up one game short of getting a wild card birth then I'll be right there with you being upset about it.
Its sad enough that the refs determined the outcome of the game incorrectly. If they were the determining factors for the season that would just be terrible.
One call, in one game is not the difference between us being Superbowl Champions, and not. If one game costs us our playoff berth, the odds of us going all the way would have been very, very slim. That said, I do think that call was bogus, but I'm not going to be all that upset over it. I just think that Superbowl teams should be able to overcome that sort of thing. If we are a truly superbowl caliber team, one bad call, in one game during the regular season should not be what makes or breaks our season.
Not to mention that the one call was after we fully allowed Pitt. down the field for a game winning drive. The call stole what would have been some lady luck for us but the Phins had cost the game for themselves allowing Pitt to the 1 yd. line.
Making the playoffs is still fun though.. Even though I dont think we would win it all it would still be really exciting if we did make it, and if the Steelers call is the difference Im gonna be fuming.
Would,coulda,shouda.Yes the Fins got boned on that call,but---if they take care of buisness earlier in the game(touchdowns instead of FG's)we should win.Yhere usually is a game every season that impacts a season and this season that was it.
That was a terrible call, but it wasn't the last play of the game. Miami got the ball with 2:19 left at their own 29, down 1 point (not sure how many timeouts they had, if any). 4 play, 4 yards. But then again, Pittsburgh has a very good defense.
And we could have got the ball at the 20 with like 2:22 left up by 2. I realize it wasn't the last play of the game, but it's not like it justifies it any more. I'd take my chances of winning a game with the ball and the lead with a little over 2 mins than I would getting the ball back with just over 2 mins and down by 1.
Agreed 100% That play diminished your chances of winning. All I am saying is that it didn't eliminate them. I am sorry if you took that the wrong way.
Sorry, it wasn't at you so much as the sentiment as I've seen it posted/said many times and many places after the game. Though I did take what you said wrong.
Think he was just pointing out that it was 4th down and Miami could have ran some more of the clock down and had a much better chance to win is all...
if we miss the playoffs by a game, all fin fans should riot outside the nfl hq in nyc. i will be fuming, and will lose sleep for days.
bu thte fact of the matter was that miami shouldnt have had to make that final drive i HIGHLY doubt it was come back to bite us down the stretch.
Not really a shock to me at least that the game that will end up ****ing the Phins is the one where they got screwed out of
If it werent for Jason Allen we beat the Jets, if it werent for a ST's **** up we beat the Pats. Either of those could have allowed us to have 7 wins as well.
I think you just have to let go of whatever happened in the past. Not just with regard to what happened against the Steelers (or any other game this season), but in life. It's something that I have had a hard time doing myself at times. But, you have to let go, and move on. Right now, all we can do is focus on the Browns. 'Cause if we lose to them, any playoff hopes are all but eliminated. Take it one game at a time, and who knows...maybe we make the playoffs and get a rematch against the Squeelers? How sweet would that be?!
