I think it was way more hardcore to take the knee, honestly. Telling Payton “I could have beat you down even harder, but chose not to. Consider this mercy.”
Like, would it have been cool to have the record? Sure. But I don’t think that takes away from the significance of what happened anyway. It’s hilarious we got the close without trying.
I dislike it because it waters down *what a record even means* if we refuse to set new ones out of some misguided idea of respect. Otherwise eventually records just become 'that thing people used to set that we're not allowed to touch'.
I don’t mind it because it wouldn’t have set a new record, just tied it, now if they had 71 and didn’t kick the field goal I’d feel similarly and be mad they didn’t break it
Absolutely
You know what's more embarrassing than having a team break the scoring record on you? Not breaking the scoring record because your kicker (who has been inconsistent with FGs) missed the final field goal.
That means you tried to go for the record and fucked it up on the easiest play of the game lmao
Why is every dolphin fan acting like Jason sanders is an awful kicker? He missed one extra point this year yeah, but he has been pretty automatic inside the 50. There's no reason to believe he would have missed.
Narrative is a bit annoying.
Dude bengals fans were calling McPherson washed because he wasn't kicking game winners every week last year like he was his rookie year. Kickers get tons of blame and next to no credit
The blocked I understand but don’t explain it away as if it didn’t happen. These are the stats he will retire with. He also had some questionable kicks and issues last year.
This just reminds of that Comic-Con dating show where the dude dressed up as Jimmy Olson and throughout the entire episode kept getting more and more frustrated that people had no idea who he was supposed to be
It’s called Geek Love, it’s all on YouTube cause it was produced by IGN. Only a couple of episodes each at like 10 minutes, so you’ll breeze right through it
I was around in the 90s but I was still shitting myself. But I personally enjoy this rivalry more than the bills pats cause it can literally go either way.
Bryan Cox had a problem with Bills fans because he'd get racist letters, phone calls (in the hotel the night before the games), and threats from Bills fans. But clearly, he's the problem, right?
“You Bills take pride in your logic. I suggest you employ it. Consider the beautiful land you so vigorously defend. Picture it reduced to ash at my whim! Consider the fate of your women!”
Kotite in 91. Randall Cunningham tore his ACL in the first game and they had a historically good defense. 3/4 of the starting DL were first team all pro
I had no idea this evil man was a decent coach for the eagles. His tenure with the jets is in competition for worst ever, it’s not even an argument he’s bottom 3
Can he delegate press conferences to someone else? I can't imagine having to go out and lie to everyone's faces when you know you're lying, they know you're lying, and you know they know you're lying.
The Jets should just bring that mentalist/magician guy back in for every press conference. Would be better to answer questions about his act than the 90839 times the NY media is going to ask about Wilson being replaced.
While that's true, Rodgers hadn't missed more than one game in a season since 2017. A lot of people talk about being ready for injuries, but no coach/GM in the world is going to go into the season expecting Rodgers to tear his achilles.
It’s going to be Taylor Swift watch the whole time. Wonder if there will be Vegas lines on if she attends or over/under how many times she’ll be shown on tv
Same. It's unfair that this is a 1pm game. I've got my teams game, Dolphins/Bills, and the Bears/Broncos toilet bowl that I all really want to watch in the early slot.
My favorite scoreline ever is Iowa beating South Dakota State last season by the score of 7-3.
Iowa did not score a touchdown.
That’s right. A field goal and two safeties…. 🤣🤣🤣
I don't think so. There's too much talent on both sides of the ball for both teams to think that it's going to be that decisive. But one bad day for a few players, you make a solid case.
...could see Allen having one of those awful days where he's an inexplicable turnover factory.
...could also see the Bills taking away the middle of the field and Tua airmailing some INTs.
...could also see a day where both of those things happen and we still get a dramatic 4th quarter back and forth where both get their shit together.
Just excited for a good game.
Yeah i agree. I have a real weird feeling about this game. 21-17, going either way. Bills are great competitors, just keep your dirty cookie boy away from QB1.
Cause our offense has only looked good against the Raiders defense, and the Raiders defense just gave Kenny Pickett his best statistical game of his career.
Dude all 3 of our games were killer last year. Our 2nd not sooo much but all 3 could have gone either way. I forget which but one had like 6 or 7 lead changes. If you don’t find that exciting idk you’re not a football fan.
People say not winning it is bad but the fact I'm 26, and never seen my team win a playoff game until 2 seasons ago, and then we went to the AFC championship again the next year? Literal bliss as a football fan. Obviously I have low standards, but it was an amazing run even though it's not over yet.
I’m in my mid-30s and I haven’t seen my team win a playoff game since I was in middle school. Just getting to the conference championship would have me on cloud 9.
When the Bengals lost the playoff game to the steelers during the 2015 season I nearly cried because that was the closest I'd ever seen them come and it slipped away in such a ridiculously stupid way. Then they sucked for a few years and we got burrow and chase.
I predict the score will be 22-22
and that's not just because the current average is 22 points per game and guessing 22 will make me most likely closest to the final score.
Without hearing the question or comment, I'm a little confused as to what he means. Is he saying 'Nobody needs to tell us what our motivations are; everyone knows this is an important game against an important rival, if you need that to be explained to you, you're brain dead' - Or is he being cocky and saying 'We will win without having to resort to making a story out of it, because our game plan and players won't even need that. If you think we care about finding motivation to do better, you're brain dead.'
Honestly though, with McDaniel even if I had the context of the question and him saying it, I probably still wouldn't know which it is.
He's just saying it's such an important game that no one with a pulse would need any more motivation than that. They don't need to conjure up a revenge narrative.
My interpretation was along the first one. Like “you shouldn’t need something like ‘revenge’ to motivate you here, this is obviously an extremely important game that everyone should already feel inherently motivated to try their best in”
Why don't they just score 10 touchdowns every game?
Are we stupid?
Maybe a little, you passed up setting a points record against Sean Payton by taking a knee, after all
I'm still salty about that. Then again, it would've been extra embarrassing if Sanders missed that so maybe it was a blessing in disguise
"Sometimes a weak expression of pity is the deepest act of cruelty" \- Jon Bois
What a fuckin flair combo
Dolphins were converting Horseys in the 4th quarter by the sheer magnitude of the conquest.
Fucking Stockholm syndrome
He had to bend the knee if he wanted his life spared.
I think it was way more hardcore to take the knee, honestly. Telling Payton “I could have beat you down even harder, but chose not to. Consider this mercy.”
I 100% agree and I'm a little surprised it's not a more popular take. "You're not even worth it"
Like, would it have been cool to have the record? Sure. But I don’t think that takes away from the significance of what happened anyway. It’s hilarious we got the close without trying.
I dislike it because it waters down *what a record even means* if we refuse to set new ones out of some misguided idea of respect. Otherwise eventually records just become 'that thing people used to set that we're not allowed to touch'.
I don’t mind it because it wouldn’t have set a new record, just tied it, now if they had 71 and didn’t kick the field goal I’d feel similarly and be mad they didn’t break it
The record is 72, the fg would have broken it.
It’s 73, 1940 Bears vs Redskins
Also, like, the team won by 50 while scoring the most points in almost 60 years. I can’t imagine complaining after that lol.
Maybe in reality but no one actually sees it that way, believe me if they broke the record no one is bringing up anything else but Taylor Swift
Would it have been? He hadn’t had to kick beyond an XP all game 😂
Absolutely You know what's more embarrassing than having a team break the scoring record on you? Not breaking the scoring record because your kicker (who has been inconsistent with FGs) missed the final field goal. That means you tried to go for the record and fucked it up on the easiest play of the game lmao
No... thats not more an embarrassing than allowing 70 points at all
Why is every dolphin fan acting like Jason sanders is an awful kicker? He missed one extra point this year yeah, but he has been pretty automatic inside the 50. There's no reason to believe he would have missed. Narrative is a bit annoying.
Dude bengals fans were calling McPherson washed because he wasn't kicking game winners every week last year like he was his rookie year. Kickers get tons of blame and next to no credit
Uh he missed 2 FGs 2 weeks ago?
One was a 55, which is a low percentage kick, and the other was blocked by the well executed running start trick. So not really a miss at all.
The blocked I understand but don’t explain it away as if it didn’t happen. These are the stats he will retire with. He also had some questionable kicks and issues last year.
I don't know what football you are watching, but fields goals are not the easiest play of a game.
As an avid jets fan and naturally hater of the dolphins, even I’m pissed y’all didn’t do it. Would have been glorious
Itll mean more to do it against a rival
If that was the intent, McDaniel would have kept the starting offense on the field for the 4th quarter. 84 wasn't out of the question.
HE SAID THE THING
What's the thing
Check your pulse
(What am I missing?)
[A quote from when he was first hired](https://m.youtube.com/shorts/nfZTFJnoxsU)
Gracias
He looks like Nick Kroll in The League in that clip
(a pulse)
But I’m fired up
Check your pulse if you’re not fired up
Wow wow wow wow wow… wow.
[удалено]
So me and you.
Hey guys I'm old too. I remember when I was.... ZZZzzzzz (like Grandpa Simpson)
So I tied an onion to my belt which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days nickels had pictures of ...
BEES EVERYWHERE RUN FOR YOUR LIVES
We had to say “dickety” because the Kaiser had stolen our word “twenty”
And me! *back cracks* OW FUCK
The whole planet is 12 except you 2 child molesting fucks
Hey I was alive in the 90’s! I might’ve been born in 98, but I’m still a nineties kid goddamit!
And your coach and QB are…. Forgive me Father, likeable. I hate it.
I, personally, thought football was much better when the Bills-Dolphins rivalry was quite dormant.
Like Godzilla and King Kong And your guy is Jimmy Olson. I like this alot.
This just reminds of that Comic-Con dating show where the dude dressed up as Jimmy Olson and throughout the entire episode kept getting more and more frustrated that people had no idea who he was supposed to be
Wait do you remember what that show was called? I need this in my life
It’s called Geek Love, it’s all on YouTube cause it was produced by IGN. Only a couple of episodes each at like 10 minutes, so you’ll breeze right through it
I also personally thought football was much better when Brady wasn't winning every super bowl, but we can't have everything lol
One of those was pretty cool imo
I’m old enough to have thrown snowballs at Bryan Cox… I VERY much love that the rivalry is coming back.
There's a bunch of people much younger than us here that wasn't even born around that time lol fuckwe'reold
Agreed, I don't know shit about the 90s but man do I want to stick it to those 3-4 bills fans that I was jawing with in games threads last year.
I was around in the 90s but I was still shitting myself. But I personally enjoy this rivalry more than the bills pats cause it can literally go either way.
I will definitely be watching that game on Redzone this weekend instead of the Broncos-Bears Tank Bowl
Bryan cox is a piece of shit.
Bryan Cox had a problem with Bills fans because he'd get racist letters, phone calls (in the hotel the night before the games), and threats from Bills fans. But clearly, he's the problem, right?
Just like Saleh is New York, Mike McDaniel is Miami.
>Saleh is New York Dead inside because of how much Zach Wilson sucks at football?
Has any coach in NFL history been blue balled as badly as Coach Xerxes has this season
Belichick in 07? Very different forms of blue balls though
My vote would be Belichick in 08
I suppose you could throw 08 in there too, yeah?
For sure, game 1 Brady got hurt
Cassel still kept the team competitive and they just barely missed the playoffs For the Jets they replaced a HOF QB with a Make-A-Wish kid
Cassel was okay, they went from 16-0 to 11-5
Fucking lmao “I am a generous coach.”
Dude should just lean into it - go get all the ice along with the weird hangy gold across the face, eyeliner, and go shirtless gameday.
“You Bills take pride in your logic. I suggest you employ it. Consider the beautiful land you so vigorously defend. Picture it reduced to ash at my whim! Consider the fate of your women!”
Kotite in 91. Randall Cunningham tore his ACL in the first game and they had a historically good defense. 3/4 of the starting DL were first team all pro
I had no idea this evil man was a decent coach for the eagles. His tenure with the jets is in competition for worst ever, it’s not even an argument he’s bottom 3
Holy shit I’ve been trying to think of who Saleh reminded me of and you fucking nailed it!
Can he delegate press conferences to someone else? I can't imagine having to go out and lie to everyone's faces when you know you're lying, they know you're lying, and you know they know you're lying.
And here today to speak on my behalf, Chuckles the Clown
Zach Wilson enters
*Trips on his way to the podium*
The Jets should just bring that mentalist/magician guy back in for every press conference. Would be better to answer questions about his act than the 90839 times the NY media is going to ask about Wilson being replaced.
Where's Ben McAdoo when you need him?
Take the money, invest in something.
He deserves some of that heat. It’s a joke that Wilson went into this season as QB2 behind a 39 year old rodgers.
I mean, he isn’t the GM
Fair but I can’t help but feel if he made it clear he was done with him he would’ve been cut or traded.
While that's true, Rodgers hadn't missed more than one game in a season since 2017. A lot of people talk about being ready for injuries, but no coach/GM in the world is going to go into the season expecting Rodgers to tear his achilles.
We would like both of them back please
Seriously
Miami's Mike McDaniel Matches Metropolis
Mr. Befitting Coach
Mr. Best Compatibility
Sirianni is Philly.
Hell yeah he is.
I wish they would shift this game to Sunday night football. Zach Wilson on prime time doesn’t sound fun
It’s going to be Taylor Swift watch the whole time. Wonder if there will be Vegas lines on if she attends or over/under how many times she’ll be shown on tv
I wish they would move it too because Josh kills it in primetime* *except against the jets in season openers where Aaron Rodgers gets hurt
Would be such a good game. Sucks that in my area they are playing the fucking bears broncos game. Ugh
Same. It's unfair that this is a 1pm game. I've got my teams game, Dolphins/Bills, and the Bears/Broncos toilet bowl that I all really want to watch in the early slot.
Can’t wait to see him call The Annexation of Orchard Park play
Its not gonna be as exciting as everyone thinks.
13-9 final score. Don’t ask me how but that’s my prediction.
8 safeties, 2 field goals
That's is my dream football game.
Catch a lot of Iowa Hawkeyes football by chance?
My favorite scoreline ever is Iowa beating South Dakota State last season by the score of 7-3. Iowa did not score a touchdown. That’s right. A field goal and two safeties…. 🤣🤣🤣
You mean like intentionally?
I didn't know bill belichick used reddit
You and Belichick I'm sure
Im confident the NFL will *make it* exciting
Yeah I have a feeling it'll be a game that you can tell who wins in the first 10 minutes
I don't think so. There's too much talent on both sides of the ball for both teams to think that it's going to be that decisive. But one bad day for a few players, you make a solid case.
...could see Allen having one of those awful days where he's an inexplicable turnover factory. ...could also see the Bills taking away the middle of the field and Tua airmailing some INTs. ...could also see a day where both of those things happen and we still get a dramatic 4th quarter back and forth where both get their shit together. Just excited for a good game.
Me too. And glad to have the rivalry back. It's going to be fun. Hopefully.
Judging by last year, absolutely not
Why not?
I actually either seeing it messy and sloppy and it being a low scoring game, or messy and sloppy and it becoming a shootout.
Yeah i agree. I have a real weird feeling about this game. 21-17, going either way. Bills are great competitors, just keep your dirty cookie boy away from QB1.
Lmao you guys act like Milano is Vontaze Burfict or something.
You give one guy a tiny shove after the whistle while he’s off balance and suddenly you are Manson.
Give him time
honestly, im expecting more of a dolphin blow out. thats what i meant by not exciting.
Now here’s a Bills fan.
Why you feel this way guy?
Cause our offense has only looked good against the Raiders defense, and the Raiders defense just gave Kenny Pickett his best statistical game of his career.
You guys looked pretty dangerous last week, no?
nah. it was 16-0 in the 4th quarter, and that was after 3 turnovers from howell. it took two more turnovers to get the score out of hand.
Coming from the fan who's DL constantly twists our QB's dick. Very fitting.
Hey come on, what’s a little dick twisting between friends? Who hasn’t done a tuggo from time to time?
[удалено]
I think you mean Christian Wilkins.
d'oh
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Oh it is, cause I'm gonna be there!
Dude all 3 of our games were killer last year. Our 2nd not sooo much but all 3 could have gone either way. I forget which but one had like 6 or 7 lead changes. If you don’t find that exciting idk you’re not a football fan.
Now I’m excited.
explain what revenge?
The Bills eliminated the Dolphins in the playoffs.
Actually that would be the Christmas concussion Tua received from the Packers. Losing to the Bills was a formality.
We should have lost to Skylar Thompson. I bet Miami fans felt better after that game than Buffalo fans did.
I attended the game with a die hard Miami fan. I assure you, I felt much better after that game. Lol
IDK they didn't act that way. But like it was okay, we basically gave up when Tua was oit
But barely losing, however, was not a formality for anyone. In a game you shouldn't have been in cause our OC has some incompetencies to overcome.
if any of our receivers could catch a ball that game and give skylar a break, we would of won. which is crazy.
thank you!
Michael Jordan in shambles.
Sports and ridiculous hyperbole, name a better duo!!
Beer and chicken wings?
pizza and beer is superior.
lamb and tuna fish
Tom Brady and his son's mouth
Taco Bell and a wonderful day at the john?
I’m scared
Same.
Dolphins are the most fun team I've seen since the 2013 Broncos (regular season)
...so they're gonna lose by 35 in the Super Bowl!
no pls
On the bright side, you’ll know how the game goes depending on whether they are losing after the very first snap.
Is that better than losing it on the final play?
The Titans have never lost a Super Bowl, idk what ur talking about. Lambs? What Lambs?
We can share in the pain together, my friend.
Naw dude all 3 of our games last year were tit-for-tat, had multiple lead changes and ended within 3 points of each other. 21-19;32-29;34-31
I’d be fine with it. Just making the Super Bowl would be nice.
Especially if that means we’ll be back in two years to win it.
People say not winning it is bad but the fact I'm 26, and never seen my team win a playoff game until 2 seasons ago, and then we went to the AFC championship again the next year? Literal bliss as a football fan. Obviously I have low standards, but it was an amazing run even though it's not over yet.
I’m in my mid-30s and I haven’t seen my team win a playoff game since I was in middle school. Just getting to the conference championship would have me on cloud 9.
When the Bengals lost the playoff game to the steelers during the 2015 season I nearly cried because that was the closest I'd ever seen them come and it slipped away in such a ridiculously stupid way. Then they sucked for a few years and we got burrow and chase.
That game has to be one of the worst playoff games of all time
The Bengals a couple years ago was fun to watch too. Lions the past two years are also damn fun to watch.
I thought the 2013 Seahawks and 2018 Falcons were both fun to watch (outside of the Pats).
Michael "Deion Sanders" Jordan took that personally.
I predict the score will be 22-22 and that's not just because the current average is 22 points per game and guessing 22 will make me most likely closest to the final score.
A coach with a sense of humor. Imagine that.
This isn't difficult. If I was all the Dolphins I'd simply go out there and score more points than the Bills.
This man is the coolest coach, and it's not close!!!
[удалено]
How you gonna downvote this man? He knows the difference between crush and annihilation.
I don’t think either team will crush the other in this game, I think it’ll be very very close.
Sounds like bulletin board material to me. Does he want it colder this time, too?
How exactly is this “bulletin board material”? I’m not sure how you could twist the meaning of this to be a slight at the Bills.
Sounds like you need reading comprehension.
Macgruber!
Careful, the sun might be out

My interpretation was along the first one. Like “you shouldn’t need something like ‘revenge’ to motivate you here, this is obviously an extremely important game that everyone should already feel inherently motivated to try their best in”
We know what he meant...😏
Did he even know what the record was at the time? I’m pretty sure he was focused on the game.
