0 - 4 Dolphins.

can't wait for next week so we can be 0 - 5.

We wuz robbed, somebody stole our game.

This allowed the self destruct Colts to move ahead of us in the race for next years 1st round draft pick.

I actually would like to see the Dolphins beat the Jets on Monday night. I don't think it will happen, but there is so much whinning on NY Sports Talk Radio shows now, if the Jets lost the FANS would get out the tar and feathers.

Its really a double edged sword to play for any NY pro team. When they win they are Gods, when they lose they are dirt.

Green Bay Packer 6-0. The Lions lost. The Packers might go back to the Super Bowl.

I hope the Dolphins keep losing to keep pace with the Colts. It would achieve nothing to start winning now and would just blow next season aswell.

The Dolphins would want the highest draft picks possible, but a dismal team that has lost all of the games the previous season would have a hard time signing quality players. That's why rebuilding takes more than a season. Teams go from last to first only when other factors, like injuries, were involved. The Dolphins have to get something going this year, sign a new couch, or trade for somebody. If they just quit the draft won't matter.

Excuse my ignorance but if a team picks someone in the draft does that player have to go to that team or can he refuse and go somewhere else.

The player can refuse to sign with the team that drafted him and demand a trade (ala Eli Manning) but I think it's rare that happens. For the most part, if you're drafted by the Dolphins or Colts, that's who you have to sign with.

A new couch sounds pretty comfy, better than the one at Headless's house! COLT POWER!

Well the Dolphins COACH needed to find a COUCH after that game for sure.

As for the draft, players can refuse to sign if they really hate the team, but than they can't play for another team until some other deal is made with the original team. It usually doesn't come to that because general managers have a good idea of who wants to sign and how much it will cost before they use their pick. Sometimes they will trade their higher draft for a few lower ones of for drafts in future years because they know they can't sign a particular player, but can get something good for him.

A new couch is coming in November, you are banned for at least a year by my wife!!!



As for the Dolphins, Suck for Luck because the season is over.

What on earth were we thinking, we nearly won there, silly Dolphins.

Came to our senses just in time.

We must keep up with the Colts in the race for first place.

Will the Colts please beat somebody as we are having to find ways to lose every week in order to keep up the fight for last place or first place depending on how you look at it and it is making us look bad.

Thanks.

I don't think you have anything to worry about Wolfie. The Dolphins can keep up for 40 minutes and then they go home, while the other team plays on.

And their Coach should be fired. He never challenged that Giant catch, which I called incomplete before they went to commercial. And the play selection was horrible. They don't even look good enough for semi-pro ball.

OK, this thread has been very tame and civil so far this year, and I don't like it.

So allow me to hopefully spice it up with a hot topic, Tim Tebow.

After the Lions soundly beat the Denver Broncos last week, and pretty much wiped up the turf with guarterback Tebow, it has been suggested that they as well as other teams were personally gunning for him. Of course this stems from Tebow's zealous fans and the highly religious beliefs that he has always expressed, which won him so much praise from certain groups in his college days.

Even his Denver teammates and coaching staff seem to be wary of getting into any controversy and are not all that supportive. He is still scheduled to start this week, but management perhaps wishes that they hadn't put themselves in this position.

For my part, I just think he's not a good pro quarterback. Every football expert who watched he's great college career said he would be lucky to be a third string runner because his style would never work in the pros. So far they are correct. Whether football players hate him a bit extra for his views and followers I don't know, but it is a dangerous job even when they love you.

Any thoughts from anybody else?

Well to recap this weekend, the Dolphins have finally won a game.

The Colts have not.

The Jets and Giants are crowing.

Tebow managed to look good again and Brady had a hissy fit.

I like to talk football, but this season not many seem interested in posting, so I think I'll revisit this thread once the Playoffs start and hopefully the Lions might still be alive. I'm looking forward to that Christmas Eve game between the NY teams. Enjoy all.

Colts might win one game all year.

Phins will win at another 3-4.

St. Louis will win another 3-4.

Cleveland just plain stinks, but already won 3.

All other teams have already won 2 or more games.

So get ready for Luck to the Colts people.

Maybe the new name of this topic should be Tebow Power.

Ok Dolphins concede defeat. We simply cannot be bad enough to keep pace with the Colts and have decided to win some matches.

Green Bay Who????????????

Dolphins 72, still the best.

Colt Power.
