Week 11 - Dolphins @ J E T S -Black Friday game

Feel like I'm missing out on the conversation now but then I realise I put him on ignore for a reason. It's plain as day that he's not a Dolphins fan and only comes here to stir things up. He's always playing devils advocate and always moving the goalposts on whatever debate people try and have with him.

Hope he goes back under his bridge soon as his Jets suck as usual.

 

Also, Mac is the only one who had that rating on the road against the Jets, all the other ratings came when the Jets were on the road.

Mac has the best passer rating against the Jets this season at Met Life, followed by Tua.

Mac 85.6
Tua 77.5
Herbert 65.4
Mahomes 63.6
Allen 62.7
Hurts 59.5

He was never on it to be able to jump off.

 

So if Tua has a 100 PR in his next game against the Jets then what will be your excuse?

Last night JA failed to get a TD in OT on a horrible misread that would have won them the game. He also threw a horrible pick that gave the Eagles a chance at the go ahead TD (which they got). A pick just as bad as Tua’s pick-6 against the Jets.

 

There’s only 17 games in a season, and they all matter, so I get pumped over EVERY win.

Not to mention it was the Jets, whom I hate.
Also, a division and conference win - need those tiebreakers! Not sure how you can NOT enjoy such a win.

 

If the Bills had beaten the Jets and Pats (division games against lowly teams) they’d be in the lead of the AFCE. I would
imagine Stale would then just change his argument to something else as to why the Dolphins suck.

Trolls gonna troll…

 

I was feeling good about the game and record and came over here to see what y'all thought. Did we lose or do we suck again?

 

I try to stay pretty even minded and understand the grind of the season leads to the only thing that matters. Playoffs. If the Dolphins make the playoffs and lose their first game, the Jets regular season win a consolation prize to you?

 

And if he doesn't, what will be your excuse?

 

We have fans who believe the team can always do better. And they're right; no level of success cannot be improved on (other than the Broncos game). Somebody's always going to fall short of perfection and IMO, it's okay to call that out as long as you acknowledge superior performance. If you've bet against us winning the Super Bowl since 1974, you're now 48 of 48, so being conservative with your praise is actually the smartest way to assess the team.

But when you have somebody like him who only has disrespect and never gives a reason why he's a fan, it is telling. He disappears after good games and even crows happily when #1 plays an average game. The previously-mentioned fans who believe we can always do better tend to say things like "We played well, but..." If Tua goes 28 for 40 with 3 TDs and 350 yards in a 17-point victory and you log in to the forum to post about three errant throws and two others that should have been picks, then you have an agenda.

If you're a fan - pragmatic or homer - you're going to be (a)happy to be 8-3 and (b)reasonably encouraged that after two decades of subpar and inconsistent play, we have a QB who is objectively and subjectively considered to be a top-5 QB. Trolls aren't fans. And critical fans are not trolls. You can recognize the tree by the fruit it bears.

 

As long as we win IDGAF.

 

So you’ll just deflect then.

Im not surprised.

 

LOL. So if Tua plays well in a loss, he sucks. If he plays average in a win, he sucks. Why haven't you given him any credit in the games when he plays well and we win?

 

Deflect? It's your question. Hypotheticals work both ways.

 

clearly that was on the WR cause QB's are never wrong where they throw the ball.

 

I mean, Romo said the WR ran the correct route with the coverage. You think Romo was lying about his boyfriend being wrong?

 

Oh, those don’t count. Lol

 

What was the point that you started to believe Holland was going to actually make it to the end zone? For me, it was when the blocks were made at the 40 yard line.

 

So you were calm, cool and collected last year at the end of the Ravens game, or not having a ball during the 70 burger? Please.


So, the playoffs are the “only thing that matters”? Hate to break it to you, but you have to win regular season games to get to the playoffs, and that’s why they should be celebrated.

Your last sentence is so ridiculous it doesn’t even rate a response.

 

He's unraveling now. If the only thing that matters is the playoffs, why bother watching until you know who made it to the tournament? It's nonsensical.

 

Correct. The playoffs are the only thing that really matters. Championships are the only thing that matters. The Bills went 13-3 last year and got bounced by the Bengals. You think beating the Jets or Dolphins in the regular season was a consolation prize?

You can celebrate all you want, but ultimately it doesn't mean much unless it produces championships. Enjoy the ride, but stay reasonable.

 

Now it's all about championships.

Next it will be multiple championships in a row.

Next is full on dynasty.

We have to be reasonable though.

 

We'll see you in the playoffs, stale. I expect you won't make another post until then since it doesn't matter.

 

He didn't say he was an unemotional robot during the games.

 

Some of these posters are unbearable. All because I said I wasn't super pumped about beating a dogshi* team like the Jets.

 

We're all just shocked to see you so negative. Cheer up buddy. Aaron Rodgers is coming back to save your season.

 

Where's the negativity? I'm just not pumped about beating the Jets because they are crap.

 

Tua made some of the best throws of his career to Waddle in Friday's game.

 

All sports have rivalries.

The Celtics have/had the Lakers
The Yankees have the Dodgers
The Dolphins have the rest of the AFC East.

It doesn’t matter whether or not your rival is a good team or a bad team. What matters in rivalries is whether or not you win.

For many years, the Patriots would dread playing the Dolphins…even in our bad days, we were that ONE team that could beat them.

In our past heydays, there were games in which the Jets always seemed to find a way to pull off and upset against us ie; Jumbo Elliott tackle eligible.

And let’s not even forget about the gunslinging days of Marino and Kelly…Shula vs Levy says.

When you defeat a rival, it should feel good for no other reason than bragging rights that you got their number.

 

Right about then, but it was just before that when I could see said blockers forming up at the 50 yard line. I remember screaming, "He's got blockers!" Surprised to see them there in perfect position to make the play.

 

Yes.

But it doesn't make me puff out my chest and say this another evidence of how great the team is.

I LOVE beating the Stej. I hate them. I hate their fans. I hate their city. So I revel in beating them. It just didn't matter much to me personally, in an overall evaluation of the the team.

Know what I mean?

 

IMO, we have one rival. If the result doesn't impact our place in the standings, I'm rooting for the Jests to lose to the Flats and Jills. I have a healthy respect for New England and Buffalo but absolutely zero respect for the Jests and their fans.

 

I didn't notice how far Garrett Wilson had run until I heard Holland's account of the play. He literally chased him from end zone to end zone. That earns very begrudging respect from me because I love hustle (which is why what Holland did on that play will always be special).

 

Many just do not understand the impact of that kind of quickness, accuracy and anticipation. We are watching a special QB.

 

being sarcastic, you should realize that.

 

I'm going to go back and watch that. Big Waddle fan. There was that one throw that was like how in the world did that get to Waddle.

 

One of the best QBs in the league threw it, that's how.

 

The anticipation on those throws are amazing.

 

Guess who we're going to see in a couple of weeks?

 

Trevor Siemien?
