by the end of the game sunday you're going to know who aaron donald is

probably the best defensive player in the NFL, and that's not just coming from my mouth

you're also probably going to know who alec ogletree, robert quinn and mark barron are as well

i'm looking forward to the match up, i think dolphins and rams are evenly matched
rams bring the heat and i know tannehill likes to spend time in the pocket starring down his favorite WR
if mia wants to win they need to throw a lot of quick slants and screens and win the turnover battle...which should't be too difficult i'm expecting at least 2 picks from Goff

Legit players. I generally know the names of players who have had a history success in the league, it's just that as I've abstained entirely from sports media I find myself increasingly out of touch with regards to both the current performances of established players and players who have only recently established themselves. I honestly didn't know Darelle Revis was having a down year until five minutes into the Jets game.

I remember Alec Ogletree from when he was coming out of highschool, back when I used to believe college recruiting was worth following. University of Miami recruited him hard.

And I don't know, man, Miami's offensive line has been legit since Mike Pouncey and Brandon Albert returned from injury. What little rumblings I hear say that Miami may have the best offensive line in the league right now. Massive turnaround from from the abysmal place the line was in back when the season started. Also, Tannehill has been as sharp as I have ever seen him in terms of getting the ball out in a timely fashion and not squandering the drive trying to make the perfect play. After five-and-a-half years, I think he has finally learned that as the quarterback you are allowed to throw the ball away.

That said, the Dolphins are without Brandon Albert, which means Tunsil moves to LT and we start some backup at guard opposite Donald, so that spells trouble in a matchup that already would have been tough no matter how well Miami's offensive line is playing. Should be a good game, the Rams are no pushovers and the Dolphins can't afford to take even Cleveland lightly (in fact, had the Browns not missed a fluke, gimme fieldgoal, our records would be identical).

So Goff is that bad, huh? I haven't even heard his name in at least two years, I had no idea he was even a starter. I feel you on the bad quarterbacking struggle. Miami went through more than a decade of terrible, awful, dreadful quarterbacking year in and year out for more than a decade after Marino retired, with the exceptions of one good year from Chad Pennington and one average year from Gus Frerrotte (10 points if you even remember who he is). You can easily see the parallel between the Dolphins QB struggles and the Rams similar struggle to replace Kurt Warner. This is all assuming I recall everything correctly, even in my most informed states there is little reason to follow an NFC team on the West Coast unless they are playing in the Superbowl.

The years of Jay Fiedler, Ray Lucas, John Beck and Cleo Lemon were so bad that I am honestly content to have a quarterback who is simply good-not-great in Ryan Tannehill. When the surname of your team's starting quarterback is actually Lemon, you learn to manage your expectations a little bit.

nice to see ya back man, thanks for the injury update. to make up for brandon albert it appears chances of robert quinn playing is slim

unlike last night's shit game, mia@la is not a very hip game. but it's extremely significant and will probably be a back and forth battle where the winner will likely win by one possession

good luck to ya, if miami can pull it out they can't be denied as legit playoff contenders, check back in after sunday's game and lets bust balls

and btw i kind of hate the dolphins for blowing that week 1 loss vs sea ;)
 
Idk I'd take von miller over Aaron Donald but that's just me

The rams defense is legit, but their offense is so, damn, horrible

And I thought for a minute of a word more fitting than horrible but really couldn't find anything more apropos

Todd Gurley is a great rb but I think the QB and receiver situation is so blatantly fucked that defenses just load up to stop him and make the case keenums of the world beat them

Tavon Austin was an amazing college player, not so much in the NFL

And maybe it's just me, but how the fuck does Jeff Fisher still have a job? It's not like he has had blazing success as a head coach in the NFL that would allow him to command respect and patience. Idk, I think they need to move on from him
 
Ohhai

Tomorrow is a must win for my Bills. With their conference record being what it is, they'll almost have to run the table just to have a realistic chance at a wild card spot this year. Is it too much to ask for just one playoff game??? It's been 16 freaking years. :/

Every Lions game so far this season has been decided by 7 points or less. Would be nice if more of them were wins, but they are the first team to ever have a point spread that low in each of the first 9 games.

And the streak of dubious merit continues. Ten straight games decided by 7 points or less. Every win a fourth quarter comeback. Unprecedented.

Exciting and frustrating time to be a Lions fan.

Sammy Watkins better get his ass back on the field. With the injury to Robert Woods today the Bills are down to their 4th and 5th wide receivers. :/

Did your Business' IT/Person Who Runs Facebook get you the message m8? It's been tough following in your footsteps as a Bills fan without you here. Been a lot of complaining about you not being around.
 
^ week 8 wiped away any week 4 worries :)

it's just another ordinary season for the bills - they're 5 and 5 and will likely finish 8-8 and miss the playoffs again.
