Bring on college football! The greed of all professional sports has driven me away from all of them but the NFL. I have been slowly souring on the NFL as well and this may pretty much do it for me.
Decertification means it’s harder for the NFL to institute a lockout and increases the likelihood there’ll be football in 2011.
Really? Mind sharing why you feel that way Bro? For me, the schedule is demonstrably easier in 2011 than in 2010, with the AFCN and NFCN being traded for the AFCW and NFCW and the 3rd place schedule rotation meaning Texans and Browns could be on there.
Ok so I'm not the only one who thinks decertification means football in 2011. That's what I thought it meant.
Fair enough, for me I see the Dolphins circa 1999 or so, good young nucleus that is trying to learn how to win in the NFL. No team dropped more opponents' potential interceptions and no team had a Qb whom opponents' never dropped his int's.
Still think its gonna get done before the deadline... Its in both sides best interest to make it seem like they wont blink in a game of chicken....which means every word you hear out of both camps sounds much worse then it really likely is.
Or if Sean Smith doesn't drop 5 INTs, Henne doesn't fumble the snap and we win by double digits. Stop whining.
man, the dropped Ints this season... I dont think we'll ever see that poor a performance in the interception column ever again. 18 drops all season i believe? That's just bonkers. Even if we only turned those into Field goals (which is usually what we did) that's 54 pts.
Eh, for myself I look at what is the most likely to happen, otherwise "what if" can be tossed back and forth from now until September, or October, or whenever. It is unlikely the defensive backs drop 30 (from what I've read) int's, it is unlikely EVERY cornerback who has a shot at interceptioning a Henne pass will hang onto the ball, it is unlikely we will be as injury plagued as we were in 2010, it is unlikely the running game or special teams will be as bad as they were in 2010. Keep in mind, the Jets will get weaker, the Bills are behind us (though they have split with us the last 2 seasons) and Tom Brady throwing 35 Td's with under 10 int's is also unlikely to happen again.
God Padre, I am so sick of hearing this every season. We lost to cleveland, buffalo, and detroit last season......until we are a good team, our schedule is never easy...
Bills problem is Buddy Nix, he is both smart, and quite dumb, too many high pick Busts. Spiller, Maybin, McKelvin Those cripple a franchise, add in the continue to devalue the Oline and still do not have proper 3-4 personnel and they could easily lose Pozsluzney (whom I'd like in Miami) and Whitner and Wilson and they are still something of a mess. Which is why it killed me when Henne did what he did in the Second Bills game..for the second straight season, have to wonder if they have his number.
Eh, come on Sick our schedule since 09 has been tough as hell, to the point even if we beat those teams, we still were not making the playoffs, our season was over when the Ravens kicked our *** and our intra AFC record was just the bottom, we had the slimmest of chances afterwards. This yr it is a bit different. Would you rather play the Broncos, or the Steelers?
nfl teams change every year, we never truly know who will be good or not next year. dolphins were 1-15, everyone that had us on the next seasons schedule circled us and said "thats a W".....then we went 11-5......you never know
We went 11-5 pretty much against this schedule Sick with a team with a good Qb and the Wildcat Offense and a porous defense.
My thoughts, with this mess I would really consider trading the #15 for a first and second in next years draft. any rookie will have wasted a year of development atleast you could then have 2 first rounders who actually played football this fall. Or even package them together for a top QB at #1.... Plus a possible rookie wage scale to save money.
On what planet can that matchup be considered anything but a nightmare for this organization and fan base?
It isnt the NFCW Pads, it is the NFCE, at Phily, and at New York to boot.......all of sudden your claim of having an easier schedule looks a little more grey lol...
