I was at a club Xmas party all weekend, so I missed the late season McCarthy Brainfart that apparently happened against the Bills, but after watching what can only with great reservation be called "highlights".....

1) Kyle Mother Fucking Orton has had the Packers number for years. Cutler might be the better QB on paper, but when Orton was in Chicago, the Bears beat us way more often. Its never pretty but he always has done just enough to pull the W against GB. He did it in Denver, too, if I am not mistaken.

2) Bills Defense is pretty fucking good. While I am sure a good part of yesterday was McFatty's brain taking a day off (this happens EVERY fucking year) against a weak opponent, the simple fact is the Bills have a really good pass D.

3) Red Zone Offense is going to make the Pack one and done. Even before the NE game, punching it in up close had been shaky for the Pack, but that game more or less exposed the one flaw in our offense. Specifically, we can score from a mile away, but our playbook shrinks to nothing once we are within 20 yards, especially on the road.

4) This team has no chance if Rodgers has an off day. Seriously, its comical how many people he is making look good with his play. All the McCarthy dick sucking that went on after the NE game calling him a genius made me laugh because his genius plan basically amounts to "ARodge throws it deep to bail my dumb ass out of 3rd and long".

5) I am tired of McCarthy playing down to lesser opponents. Whenever we play a weak team, our play calling gets extremely vanilla and we either shit the bed as a result (this week) or the game ends up super close (Jets game, Vikings Game, Atlanta Game) and it just erodes the confidence of the whole team. This team under McCarthy has chronically showed up to these "take care of business" games and dropped them year after year because McFatty just does not take these games seriously. I get that he does not want other teams to have tape on our schemes, but none of that shit matters if we lose easy games and end up having to play the Hawks on the road. I have said it before, but McCarthy is the worst coach to ever win a Superbowl. If the dude did not have Rodger's nuts to ride around on, he would be back to being a fucking QB coach on some 8-8 team, like what happened to Mooch after he no longer had Favre or Young to make him look good.


Yeah I am butthurt. But really, unless you can ignore the PI rules like Seattle or your entire division is stacked to supply you with homefield like NE, getting into the SB is tough. We had a chance to secure top seed and we threw it away. Our season will be over again one week into the playoffs, right on schedule.

I don't think you should insult people by calling them fat. That's not nice and very hypocritical.

That would be like me being upset that someone shits up threads.

Before you get on me about that, let me remind you that the coach you want to run out of town in Miami was McCarthy's understudy. He is not exactly looking too good without Rodgers nuts to ride around on, either.

Uh yeah, I never really wanted Philbin to begin with, he was the third option behind Harbaugh and Fisher. Neither of those two coaches wanted to come to this shit team because our front office is awful. Fuck Philbin tried desperately to get Matt fucking Flynn on our team when he first came here.

Matt Flynn would have been better than what you currently have for less money. You could have got by with him for two years while grooming a new guy behind him.

The rest of your post I agree with entirely. The way the whole bullying incident was handled basically turned the Fins into the east coast version of the Raiders, when it comes to getting a coach or other talent interested.

NFL admitted the roughing the passer call in the Niners/Hawks game was wrong. What irritates me is Hochuli tried to defend the call saying that the "hairline of the helmet made contact with Wilson." If you watch the replay Hochuli's view of what part of the helmet possibly hit Wilson is complete obscured by Wilson. There is no way he possibly could have discerned specific details like the hairline of the helmet made contact, he just made an assumption about what happened and threw the flag anyways. When the entire world, including your boss, can see that you fucked up, why can't you just say "yeah, I fucked up." and move on?

Shit like this is why the NFL needs to move to the 'everything is reviewable' route.

Did you word your post incorrectly on accident or are you seriously suggesting that Matt Flynn would be better than Ryan Tannehill? Or did you mean Matt Flynn (28 million dollar contract) would have been a better choice than Matt Moore (8 million dollar contract). I think Flynn was mostly just a big ass fluke and he's proven that by failing wherever he goes.

The bullying shit was just the dumbest thing I've seen in a long time and it's a direct result of Philbin removing anyone that questions his leadership. He released/traded everyone that was in a place of leadership before he got there. The most obvious and painful losses right now being Karlos Dansby, Reggie Bush, and Jake Long. Sure Bush/Long are hurt but who's to say the same exact situations would happen here in Miami.

At the time Philbin wanted Flynn, you could have had him on the cheap while he was serviceable. Take a look around at all the major successful QBs and one thing they all (other than maybe Luck) share in common is that they spent a couple years holding the clipboard for a veteran guy before being tossed in the line of fire. The Fins would be in a much better position right now if they had gone that route, in my opinion, though its not clear if that's what Philbin wanted ultimately.

As for the whole cleaning house of people who do not tow the party line, he learned that while in GB too. McFatty and Ted Thompson have a pretty good long track record of dumping anyone that deviates from the party line, especially on the defensive side of the ball. In fact, aside from the whole Incognito horse shit, a lot of Miami's problems mirror our own. The only difference is that we have Rodgers to cover them up and he got to spend a couple years holding the clipboard for Favre before being tossed in the line of fire. As I recall, Tannehill did not get that.

Not really true about Flynn. When Miami wanted him he was searching for a big contract somewhere. That is the reason he DIDN'T sign with Miami is because we wouldn't give him his big contract. That was the plan all along in Miami, to have Tannehill play behind Gerrard. Gerrard was playing well in training camp and had won the starting job from Matt Moore, then when he was at home playing with his kids he hurt himself and was released because he was going to miss considerable time. At that point you really can't just bring someone in a week before the season starts and realistically think they're going to do well or have something to teach your new QB. Tannehill stepped up and played better than Moore, won the starting job, and has kept it ever since with his good play.

The QB position is 100% the last issue with the Dolphins currently, suggesting to make changes there or somehow implying that we'd be in a better situation if something was different there doesn't really make sense.

Word is that Shanahan really wanted Tannehill too, but Snyder forced RG3 on him. We'll probably never know if there's any truth behind that though.

So you are saying that you are satisfied with his play and he should make 16 mil next season?

Which is grounding, and is supposed to be called as grounding, and has been called as grounding throughout the season. It doesn't matter if your receiver runs the wrong route, if you are in the pocket and throw the ball to nobody, that is grounding.

Did you think I wouldn't know who negged me you fucking faggot? Eat shit, he was under pressure.
Nets are serious business to you aren't they faggot? Did you really have someone look up who posted that net so you can go and neg them? LMAO

He was in a clear pocket and no defender was within arms reach of him nor closing. Go fuck yourself.

Rogers played like crap but his receivers really helped inflate that, if you watched the game you saw the receivers dropping balls left and right. I think GB is still the top dog in the NFC, seahawks look scary but if they dont secure home field I cant see them making it to the NFCC. Lions really have a good shot at making it to the big game which is crazy, probably best shot they've had

You actually went and had someone look up who left you a neg. LMAO

I'm simply sharing your rustling with the public. Besides, Saints vs Bears is a pretty meh game, I'd rather discuss your pussy getting sand in it from a neg and then running to someone to find out who left it because it's serious business for you!

Nets are nothing more than an anon bulletin board. If you care that much about them then you're pathetic.

Murray had hand surgery today - looks like he'll be out at least a game. Not a good time with Indy's dog shit run defense coming to town and a desperate need to win.

The Cowboys are a better team than the Colts in my opinion. No reason they should not win.
