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

I think that Josh is already a better QB than Favre

Well, he's no Zay Jones, that's for sure...

And we can all hope that Stephen Ross remains the Dolphins owner for decades to come

Really makes me wish we were getting the Pats earlier in the year. Although Mac could be injured/shell-shocked by mid-to-late season too

I would love if the Dolphins actually mortgaged their future to trade for Watson. But there's a part of me that probably thinks just having them stick with Tua and Flores is better for the Bills in the long run

This definitely gets filed under the "who cares" column. It's been 15-20 years since anyone relied on ESPN for any insightful commentary

John Hannah is 70 years old and can probably still play better

I think that Brandon Beane, as well as most of the commenters on this board like their chances with the 6th round pick being more productive...

but, but, but, but - weren't we supposed to cut our overpaid ST demon LB who can also actually play LB pretty decently for a backup?? SMFH
