    Didn't know if you were serious or not with the 'yea that would help' response. No offense intended, I just wanted to keep this a Sunday game discussion.:hi5:

    Yep, they (Chargers)knocked out the MVP. I think we can beat 'em if we make it that far. Hate to say 'if', but the playoffs are week to week.:up:

    Lol, sorry, just noticed your Ravens avatar jersey. My bad. I hate the fact that some of my favorite Canes players, Reed and Lewis, and McGahee, are on that team, but we gotta get it done against you guys. You've got an outstanding defense. Your qb is awesome for a starter too. I still think it's going to be a tight game, even though we're underdogs, I think we have a bit more to prove as a team.:up:

    yep thats wat scares me. ive been saying it here and on the ravens site. u guys could win tomorrow. If we come out flat, and u guys get an early lead and play solid throughout.

    it's definitly possible. of course as a ravens fan im not thinking that but u know lol

    I'm just worried about your pick-master Ed Reed. He sees where the ball is going before it leaves the qb's hand. Between him and our Joey Porter pressuring Flacco, I definitely see a game that's decided by who's defense tires first. I don't think either team will come out flat. We both had to work hard to get here. I still root for you guys when you play the hated Steelers. God, I hate them.:tantrum: That was a tough game to watch against you guys a few weeks ago.
    But we still have our own problems with you guys at 1pm. Cameron is still in line for some payback, and I hope we can deny him today. I hope it's a really close, good game.:hi5:

    Problem is, I don't sleep any later. :pity:

    I'm here Marty! (good morning). How great is this?? Yeah, last week was too much and now here we are this morning with more "too much" than last week!! Its been so long since "this" happened to "us" I almost for got how gut wrenching satisfying and physically draining the playoffs can be, and its even worse for the players I am sure.

    First thing this morning I got up looked at the clock and thought to myself "If I was playing for the PHINS today what would I be doing right now, 7 hours before game day" Then that "feeling" comes over me and I get so excited/anxious/jittery, heck ya'llk know what I mean.

    How will we ever survive today?

    Mornin' Marty...just waitin' on the weather report for 1pm in Miami, and the injury report...and heard that Rook Qb's making their first playoff start on the road are now 0-4 with Ryan's loss yesterday.

    Trying to look at the minutia...and I'm wondering if LT might be hearing the bell tolling in SD..

    You know I had the same thought watching the game last night. They kept flashing to him on the sidelines and he had that "this kids taking my job and there is nothing I can do about it" look IMO. San Diego is going to have a pretty tough decision to make shortly.

    Indeed they do, they played Michael Bennet a bit, but it will come down to paying Sproles...or not..

    Gametime temps are going to be around 80 degrees.

    Mornin' fellas ...WOOT !! Mulligan.. I have been rehashing the old emotions in my mind and "this" game is different. For YEARS we backed into the playoffs IF we made them at all. I never had any "real" confidence, we didn't belong and I knew it. THIS year we come in undefeated in December which validates this playoff game to me. No matter how this ends today I am beside myself with joy.

    Padre.. 79f, 62% humidity, wind east at 7 mph, 30% chance of rain, 60% clouds.. I hope they forget to hydrate! nearly 80 in January.. lordy I LOVE Florida. Herw the link if ya want to look for yourselves.

    305 weather

    I know what you mean Marty. I have an uncomfortable easiness about this game. I also know that years (too many really) I would approach games like this and be "cocky" in my confidence about our team and would just be crushed when things did not turn out.
    However today the confidence is not cockiness. Its just confidence that I will enjoy today what really drew me to being a Miami fan so many years ago. I have "learned" how to enjoy these games because of how special they are. Win or lose, the Phins will give me a memory today and for that I am thankfull.

    It's been a bit annoying to see this team looked at just by stats, but wouldn't wish to offend our guests.

    I think we win Marty, no joke, the Jets game had me concerned last week, this week not so much, having Fergie and Soliai really makes a difference for us, and Chad V Joe...

    Nice...in early January even...:up:

    The Jet game had me nervous and very uneasy. Almost sick to my stomach. This game has me totally opposite. Calm and confident...not really cocky but a feeling of deserving to be here. Confidence in the players...confidence in the Coaches.

    The thing that I kept thinking "Lamar Smith" as I watched Sproles last night. Over 300 all purpose yards in the first week. Absolutely nothing in the second week.

    I fell a sleep at 6 AM this moring, then woke up to my dog licking my face at 7 AM. Bad times, but even that hasn't stopped me getting pumped for this game.

    Interesting that you're confident against a team who stopped the Wildcat, and the ground game overall against you, yet you were nervous about a team on a four game losing streak (I don't consider the Bills game a win, JP Losman gave us the game, we should've lost). But hey, whatever works for you dude/lady.

    Best of luck today.

    The Jets normally have our number up in NY in December, we hadn't won up there in maybe 8 years?

    Being a Jet fan..I would think you would understand. Playing the Jets no matter how good we are or bad we are always is a problem. I am confident in how we will play..motivated and well coached..does that mean a win? Who knows.

    you fella's have owned us bro.. beating the jets is a serious priority for us. If we weren't nervous about playing you, we have no pulse.

    Very true guys, very true. My bad for ignoring the fact that we've taken care of business against you guys 17 of the last 21, now 17 of the last 22, times. :up:

    We feel the same way when we go up against New England. Nervous as hell no matter how good or bad they're playing, since 2001.

    Hmmm... Interesting that you keep that total in mind. That would be 20 games prior to this season. Chad Pennington was the QB in NY for 8 seasons give or take so that was 16 games that Chad Pennington was either on the roster or actually the QB during the game. What is the first goal listed by every coach for a successful year? I believe it goes something like "Win your division." What a wonderful organization.

    No, no...... The Jets fans have always been a team that desires to fight those who are better for one reason or another. They can't help it. They are born into it. When they discovered football, they either didn't like their father (the Giants fan), their brother (the Giants fan), or the neighborhood bully (Giants fan).

    When the Dolphins were great, the Jets fans hated rivalry was the Dolphins. When the Bills were great, the Jets fans hated rivalry was the Bills. And then all of sudden when the Patriots have their touch of greatness, the Jets hated rivalry is now the Patriots.

    The sad fact is that you are a fan of a team that has never mattered. They are a spoiler and nothing more. I don't mean to pee on your parade about that record. I just want you to realize that your team does not matter - especially today.

    Yep, I can still sleep now well knowing I have a QB, a good coach, a young, hardworking team, money under the cap and hope for the future.

    I dont think you guys can say the same :up:
