I figure it's going to happen eventually, so I'll root for the Packers.

But don't be surprised if the Jets make the playoffs. While I don't think they're as talented as the past few years, they should play well enough to get in, and if Houston drops to the 3 spot, I'd even give them the edge to move into the divisional playoffs.

 

I wanna punch you.....very hard.

 

Could be the Pats and Packers. And pack at 18-0 and Brady and company trying to win and avoid the 19-0 undefeated season they did not accomplish.

 

With all due respect this is a horrible opinion for a Dolphins fan of any age to have. I wasn't alive when that team went undefeated. I also wasn't alive when we won World War II. But guess what? I'm still damn happy my favorite team had an undefeated season and I'm damn happy we're not speaking German today.

 

The only teams I would hate to see go undefeated reside in New England, Buffalo, and New Jersey. Anyone else is fair game.

 

Good topic for discussion. I was thinking of posing the same question but with the Patriots OR Jets. Honestly, I'd probably cheer for the Packers. But I'm not like some of these younger generation Dolphins fans (see above) who have no respect for what a great accomplishment it was for that 1972 team. That record is important to me as a Dolphins fan even though I wasn't alive.

Edited to add: If it were the Bills playing the Packers I would cheer for the Bills. I know they're a division rival but find myself not hating them anywhere near as much as the other 2, probably lovable loser syndrome, but I think most of the Western New York fans would deserve it.

 

as long as it isnt the our afc east rivials and the dallas cowboys i have no real problem with it i will always take the packers over the jetss.

 

No, those that wouldn't mind seeing a team go undefeated have accepted it as a possibility. Records are meant to be broken.

 

I'm damn happy we're not waging a terribly pointless war in Iraq under false pretenses that killed more innocent civilians than 9/11 did. Doesn't mean that I'm proud my country took that way (for a change). Pride is something you're entitled to when you've actually done something commendable yourself. Being proud of something you were born into is precisely what made the Nazis into such arseholes.

 

I thought the topic would be if Eric Mangini were hired as coach

 

No brainer....the Pack

 

I'm sure he could get interviewed or Ross asks for his input as he is or was some type of consultant?

 

As someone who has been a fan of the Dolphins since 1966, and a season ticket holder during the perfect season, as well as 39 other seasons. I would have no problem at all deciding which team to root for. I would put on anything I have which is green and yellow and root for the Packers to beat the Jets. I have no problem with the Packers going undefeated, but as a 40 plus year hater of the New Jersey Jets, I would never root for them to win any game, especially a Super Bowl.

 

There is no way in hell I would ever root for the Jets.
Unless for some unknown reason it would help the Dolphins.

 

Ditto!
Even if they were playing the Raiders! Then I'd have to go to confession for rooting for the Raiders!

 

...what's your beef with the Giants?

 

LOL. Comparing a team having an undefeated season to winning WWII? That's just a little extreme don't you think? After the Packers go 19-0 our team will still have an undefeated season and still been the first to do it. Heck, even Mercury Morris is rooting for the Packers.

 

By your definition, we can never be proud of anything that a Dolphin team does because you or I certainly aren't putting on cleats to take the field. Not going to touch the rest of your post and it probably belongs in the political forum. You're talking about self-pride. People can be proud of anyone or anything they want. I'm proud of the people who made my lunch today. It was delicious. If you don't want to be proud in anything but what you've done in life, that's your right. But I don't understand why you or any other fan is going to try and talk any other Dolphin fan out of being proud of any past or present accomplishment of the Miami Dolphins.

 

Gotta go with Clean on this one. If we don't go undefeated, big whoop. If we don't win WWII, we're all sitting around discussing soccer in leiderhosen eating bratwursts (Saturday night at lucky's?).

 

Sure that would be extreme. But that's not what my post suggested. The only comparison I drew was they are both events that happened before I was born. And I'm happy about both of them even though I wasn't alive.

You fans that are down on the '72 team are making me nauseous tonight. I'm stepping out of this thread.

 

Please don't twist my words. I never even came close to suggesting the perfect season was important as winning WWII.

 

I was around for the undefeated season and I agree with you!!! So many fans and the team alumni from 1972 are still living in the past with this celebrating the last undefeated team every year getting beaten. It's great to remember and respect team history, but the focus needs to be on the present and future. The No Name Defense, Csonka, Morris and Kiick ain't coming back, and neither is Marino for that matter. When I read that Mercury Morris is rooting for the Packers to run the table, that was the final incentive to say, yeah come on Pack.
Maybe next year when they play in the Hall of Fame Game, those stupid HOF voters will have elected Jerry Kramer to his well deserved place in Canton, like they should have done 30 years ago. Arseholes.

 

For sure, I'd root for the Packers! No way I hope the Jests win.

Wrong forum for that, I guess. Anyway, was that against the U.S.A.? :huh:

Unfortunately, I get to see that way too often! :( Almost like hell! :pointlol: :pity:


:flag:

 

Luckily for us the Jets will not make it that far, and if they did the Pack would hang 80 on them.

 

Id rather see every other team in the NFL (outside of our division) have an undefeated season along with us before I'd ever want to see the Jets win a Super Bowl.

 

So you would actually entertain the idea of the Jets winning the SB? That is crazy talk bro........

 

Its young punks like this that have cursed this franchise. Not the 72 team that won every game, uncluding the SB! That sure the hell is no curse. Its some of todays youth with their disrespect of the past like they think they're taking over.

You might outlast us but then it will be you looking for respect as an old fart...

 

No, not at all. Post # 8 in this thread -

I can certainly understand fans cheering for Packers over Jets even if it meant an undefeated season. I just can't understand the piss poor attitude from some younger fans about the '72 season.

 

The only sickening thought about this is the Jets actually making it to the SB.

The rest is easy. First off its the best team in football that they will be playing and secondly, it will be easy to root for the Packers because if there is one thing any Dolphins fan should be, its a fan of anyone who plays the Jets, Bills, and Pats

 

I cannot root for the Jets any more than I could root for terminal cancer. For any reason. Under any circumstances.

 

There is no way this Packers team would lose to the scrubs on that team. At least with the Patriots against the Giants, the Giants had already seen that they can play with them and knew what the strategy would be. Ridiculous D line that year.

 

You guys are funny!

 

did you just c ompare football to a world war lol

 

Exactly, football is more important.

 

and thats why no body likes nappy.


The.
End.

 

Except your mom.

 

Mercury Morris is a drug dealer. I'm never looking to him as a role model!!!!! :D

I look at it this way. The Jets have won a superbowl. They may win another one eventually. Nobody has gone undefeated except us. I'm not rooting for the Jets to win. I'm rooting for the Pack to lose. I'm rooting for our undefeated record until it falls.

 

Agreed. This is a huge problem in today's discourse. When did analogizing become "comparing" or "equating?" Look at Hank Williams who never compared the President to a certain genocide'r but that's what people accused him of.
