What's ridiculous is they didn't want to take the footage down when asked to.

So... I wasn't able to watch except for the 3 minutes before halftime when Tua got concussed, but I listed to the majority of it over the radio. We are a little busy with life stuff, so I wasn't going to get distracted and watch the game but I will watch the replay before the next game. That being said...

From the sounds of it, it was a good back and forth game. A lot of people tend to forget there's home cooking when it comes with the Dolphins. The heat is no joke. If this game would have been in Buffalo... I don't know if the end result would have been the same. Either way, it's a win all the way around assuming Tua walks away alright from that concussion or what not. That was just dirty football to toss him to the ground like that.

If you like the Pikachu statue the way it is, I would leave it alone.

If the fading is bothering you, then you need to find someone that does quality work.

From the one picture posted, it doesn't look like it's terrible.

@B.A.

Sent an invite for an assassination game. If we get 1 more, we can make a new lobby for teams or run another FFA.

If you don't know how the assassination game mode works, let me know.

I don’t care if Tua never wins another game. I’ll never say another bad word about him. Hell I’ll never say another word about him period. That dude proved everyone wrong today. I’ll try to bow out gracefully here and just say thank you tua.

he fucking did it. I’m happy for him and as a sour ass dolphin fan I haven’t had that much fun and excitement watching a Miami game since Ricky williams.

Oh shut it, you're only happy because you have him on your Fantasy Football team.

First half was terrible, but the second half, I don't know what they did during halftime, but they came out fighting. Tua has a knack for coming back from mistakes time to time and he showed up in the second half. Freaking Lamar had a great game and it wasn't enough.

Oh, wait, hold on, what were people saying about Tua not being able to throw deep? Oh right, right, yea.

NFL Research: Tua Tagovailoa is now 4-0 against the Patriots in his career. He's the only QB to remain undefeated in at least four starts against New England during the Bill Belichick era.
 

Tua HOF confirmed

I love how stats can be spun in such a manner, but then again, they don't lie.

The absent stats are the near 4 turnovers he had lol Dude was playing like the team was down 4 scores.

43

I considered forcing you all picking the worst team vs the best team, but I don't care enough about "Football" that is played with hands with an oval ball to figure out which team is the worst in this game.

Considering this game was posted for the NFL kick off week I find that hard to believe.

Yes, and I'm saying the Bills are likely to end up being the best team in the NFL this year.  So slow the roll on trying to measure up to them!

This is where Skinny and I are on two planets. No I don't think Miami is as good as Buffalo. I was simply making the point that to win the AFC is we now have to go through the Bills, not the Patriots. I don't doubt the Patriots will improve, but currently they are not the team to beat.

Whoa now.  You're talking about the best team in the NFL.  Baby steps.  Right now you settle for beating the good teams.  We'll talk next year about Bills aspirations.  Rome wasn't built in a day, and you guys have spent year after year trying to do your best to set it ion fire.

No, I'm saying the AFC East is the Bills now, not the Patriots.

If you have been garbage for decades, your bar is low

Also, the challenge now is the Bills, not the Patriots. In case you haven't been paying attention lol

Yeah, sorry you don't get to complain about a double digit win.  Or, any win, really.  Same way the Jets and Lions wouldn't get to complain.

If you have been garbage for decades, your bar is low.  You're not the Packers or Pats or Chiefs. 

I'm pointing out the flaws they show. A win is a win, but they need to play better.

So a double digit win against a 2021 playoff team isn't good enough.  Got it 

 

Calling it like I see it

Just to clarify: you just beat the Pats by double digits under your head coache's first game.

My team just lost to the mighty Bears but I ain't yapping 

It's a Patriots team that is meh at best and played at home. If it wasn't for a blown PI call on the first INT this game could have ended differently. It's also a Patriots team that has apparently no clear cut offensive play caller, so I didn't expect them to be their usual Patriot selves.

For all the noise surrounding the offense it was not much of a show today. What we learned what was we knew. The defense is still good, Hill is the main receiver and he has some wheels, Waddle is a solid #2, Tua is still a big ? in some aspects. I really want to know what he was thinking late in the game when he made all those silly throws trying to extend drives when it wasn't needed.

My reaction after the game today. Dolphins defense played well. Needham needs to improve, still... I'm not sure why the Patriots didn't target him much. 

Dolphins offense was not that great. Not sure what's going on with Tua, but a lot of questionable moves later in the game. He was trying to force plays like the Dolphins were down several scores. Hopefully things improve.

Still need 1

I feel like this game needs to be mentioned for the GBA whenever MTPO is talked about:  Wade Hixton's Counter Punch:

The Bills are -2.5 tonight. This requires input from resident handicapper @NESfiend with the expert analysis.

100% forgot today was the first game. Thankfully I listen to AM Sports radio and they mentioned it lol

It’s a mix of family and friends. There were a lot of odd picks. Allen went 15th overall. And then a kicker went in like round 6 or 7. Some other odd picks late in the draft for 3rd string rbs but that I think was just people being hopeful to find a diamond in the rough

It really depends on the league scoring. I've been in leagues where people don't select QBs until later because it was a RB heavy league and they are the ones that churn out the most points. Some people might be desperate to snag a player that will put up the most points in their position and they might just draft them.

Need 1 for Game 2 (Teams)

Sorry @Mega Tank no gore or sproles but I did end up with a projected 13-1 team and had the best draft so I’ll take that

 

Who is Matt Ryan playing when you need him to fill in for Mahomes?

Good call. I’m thinking billy cundiff for my kicker too

1 minute ago, Makar said:

Lol what decade are we in. Should I draft Peyton manning too? And maybe marshawn lynch?

Peyton with that noodle neck, nah, that's a pass. Check and see if Darren Sproles is available, good overall RB for sneaky points with return yardage as well.
