Who is Rooting for Miami (sorta)?

I am....”sorta” all over the board on this one. I’d like to lose out to draft high and pick up some future HOF players, but at the same time I want o see our young core look great heading to the finish line and build some confidence and momentum.

 

SO......MY plan is to wait and see what happens because there’s not a darn thing I can do to influence the outcome. It will come to be, and I will try to be at peace with it, even if the Patriots go to the SB. Think of it this way, it’s more chances for Brady to take a beating. How’s THAT for finding the silver lining? 

But he never seems to get roughed up anymore- however, that is a good way to look at it.

Just pretend he’s Allen, fair game at all times! Even if you take the 15 yards, it’s part of the game plan, and well worth the penalty. 

 

The difference is, if you gave Brady that treatment, you would be publicly executed as part of the halftime show.   ?

I would like to see the fins lose to the vikings yet if I could have the scenario fall where the fins need their last game to get in, by god no better way to close out the season then to spoil their playoff chances.

 

of course, a loss to the vikings would make it even tougher, so maybe the vikings can pull their heads out of their ass and win?

I live in Miami and have a hard time rooting for the Dolphins, but if they can take the Pats down then I'm in. The NE Patriots are my most hated team in all of sports for all-time. I want nothing more than to see them plunge into the abyss. I want the Bills to do it first, but if it's Miami or the Jets, I'll live with it.

I hope Miami beats the Vikes, the Steelers beat the Pats then next weekend we throw the kitchen sink at the Pats and get a W. This scenario could set the stage for Miami to win the division and the Pats to not get a wild card. Yes, the stars have to align but wouldnt it be great?

I'm  rooting for them only so we can ruin their playoff hopes in week 17

I wouldn't say I'm rooting for Miami so much as against NE

 

Since the Bills have been largely irrelevant in terms of truly contenting, I always ask 1 question:

 

Is it bad for New England?

 

If the answer is yes then I'm for it.

 

Nothing the Bills could do this season would be as amazing as going into NE and giving then loss #6 if they lose this weekend.

 

 

Make NE play all 17 games and lose out on the bye

 

No rest and no easy path, although their path to the Super Bowl might actually be harder if they get the #1 seed since either KC or LA will like be the lowest seed remaining after wild card weekend instead of them getting the home Houston bye to the AFC title game

My semi realistic dream scenario:

 

NE plays Baltimore or Indy wild card weekend... If they get through it's LA then at KC as our last chance

I hope for all that, but then for us to beat the Pats in a meaningful game for them and close out the season crushing the Dolphins, kicking them out of the playoffs.

Growing up, I hated Miami like no other team.

 

My loathing for the Pats has gone well beyond that.  It says a lot that I am now pulling hard for Miami to win out and take the division.  

 

And I don’t know why some give us no chance to win at Gillette.  If we had any offense at all in that first game, we win that one handily.

I'm too lazy to look it up, but have they ever beaten Brady (playing a full game) in that Stadium?

What?! No! 

 

Ill never understand people that think we’re rivals with the Pats. We have NEVER had a rivalry with the Patriots. When we were good, they were a joke,  the entire time they’ve been good we’ve been a joke. Thinking we’re rivals with them is funny to Pats fans. We mean nothing to them but two easy wins a year. 

 

The Dolphins on the other hand have always been a fierce rival. I will NEVER root for them, EVER!

don’t believe so.   I can only remember two wins at Gilette since Brady’s been their QB... one was a meaningless wk 17 game where Brady only played the first half, and the other was I believe the following season where he was still suspended and Brissett was their starter.

Our best rivalry is with the Jets.  We both almost always suck!

Nah... I grew up with the fierce rage of the Kelly vs. Marino rivalry. Their players and fans would bash our city, or fans would in turn bash their fans in our house AND theirs! And our team would more often than not bash theirs.

 

See: Brian Cox, that piece of %^€+*€€**>€£££*^><~~|}^**¥£+¥£*!!! Fu%*!~\{#<!£+•%}~€*+£!!!!

 

There was true rage and vitriol back then. Now the Pats just look at us like little brothers. Nothing of substance there. Jets? Meh...

I will never root for the fish...the hatred from decades ago still burns like a thousand suns.....If NE wins the division again ( let's face it, it will happen ) then it's just another one to add to their already ridiculous amount of titles....my brain is use to that.....it's expected...if Miami wins it, it will absolutely hurt.....

I am expecting that New England is going to win the division.  Therefore, I'm rooting for Miami. . .to get crushed - which they diod.  Now I'm rooting for Pittsburgh to beat New England.  I'm counting on New England losing in the playoffs.

It’s not a rivalry anymore when they’ve crushed you for over a decade

I don’t think the Bills have a rivalry with the Pats.

I am just tired of them. I am especially tired of Brady’s smug arrogance. If it was Brees, or Rodgers, or some other elite QB, I wouldn’t dislike them as much. Just not Brady.

You need to read what I said, I said the exact opposite. You drunk, bro?

 

Even after your edit, it makes no sense. Aren’t you like in your 50’s? Act your age, also, learn to read.

the best part is about 40 of the 50 ignored have left TSW over the last 5 months 

 

 

:D

So you misread my post and I should be ignored? Oh wow... my condolences to people that know you in real life. 

 

Put down the beer, you’ve clearly had enough.

Now my hope for the last two weeks is that Houston wins out. I live in SoCal, so I like the Rams and Chargers. My wife is from Chicago, so I want the Bears to win. But I would rather those three teams falter and Houston to win out to keep the Pats* out of a first round bye.

It's looking pretty unlikely right now, but I'd love to beat Miami to knock them out of the playoffs.  I hope they at least have something to play for in week 17, even if the other games don't wind up going their way.  

 

In the even less likely scenario that the Bills & Jets both beat the Patriots, I would be able to live with a loss to the Dolphins to cost the Patriots the division.  I'd still be rooting for a win, but just... not as hard as normally.
