They're just taking the next step in getting Justin Fields ready to be our backup QB in 2024

Until the Dolphins get a legitimate first-string NFL QB, they will continue to be our b*tch

I've been thinking all along that 1-1 over the next two games is a reasonably acceptable outcome 2-0 would be amazing though, and would cement our status as favorites for the #1 seed - especially with all of the extremely winnable games left on the schedule

This was a great FA signing for a team on the cusp of a SB run - both in 1989 and 2021 In the case of Sanders, it's critical that we keep reinforcing the strength that is our WR position. Sure, we could have just tried to plug Davis, McKenzie, and others into expanded roles, but I like this plan much better

They fully deserve the misery. We've seen some dysfunctional mis-management of our local teams over the last 60 years, but the disintegration of that organization over the last two years is amazing.

Jacksonville could go 3-14 for the next 10 years and it still won't make me feel better about losing that playoff game to them and their wet fart of a former coach

Well said - I remember attending that game while I was at UB. But I sure don't remember anything special about it

This was inevitable once they went to 6 games that weekend. More ratings for an 8 PM Monday night game vs a 1 PM Saturday game Who gives a crap about competitive disadvantage? Not the NFL

It's difficult to really hate the Jets when they've been largely inept and irrelevant for my entire lifetime (born in 1974) Yes, their fanbase completely reflects all of the savory stew that is the Tri-State area, but for me, they're just the Patriots minus the actual winning

Always go back to the classic Mike Tyson quote: "everyone has a game plan until they get punched in the mouth"

We need to be 5-1 in the division at minimum. I get that we want the #1 seed, but the first focus needs to be defending our crown there and securing at least one home playoff game We're set up to face a lot of young and/or mediocre QB's as well. Probably need to go undefeated in those matchups, then see how things shake out from there

Welp, Tua definitely attacks the defenses like Trent Edwards did

I half-expected him to trot out the old Jauron chestnut: "It's hard to win games in the NFL"

Are these the same people who go to the Canadian Ballet just to drink at the bar?

That's exactly it - I won't ever be able to even begin to get over my worry until after we've hoisted the trophy

The great teams of the 90's also laid these turdburgers a couple of times per year too, often early on in seasons where they were also probably a little too hyped up and/or overconfident. This week will be a great mental test against a divisional opponent. Hopefully a dose of humility will be the cure that we need along with a more rational game plan from Daboll

This week will be telling for sure

Throw early to run late. I love that we've embraced that mentality and with improved line performance this year, we should be even better at it

And look how many incremental wins that got us...

Just affirms how glad I am to have a measured, thoughtful, intelligent, and aggressive guy running the organization Too many past regimes failing to plan, and planning to fail

something something something... dark side

I'm having PTSD of so many awful opening game results during the drought: 2002 - Chad Morton runs the opening kickoff of OT back for the TD 2004 - last second pass from Byron Leftwich for the TD after Nate Clements could have just knocked the ball away on a previous 4th down 2007 - the Kevin Everett game with the Broncos sprinting on for the game winning FG 2009 - the Monday night debacle of a comeback vs the Patriots

Can you imagine having to watch this turdburger of a game? I mean Trevor Lawrence is somewhat interesting but just about nothing else

Very true - and I got flamed last week for mentioning it in a different thread. Which is always fun

I usually go right to 100% douchebag
