Who is planning on being able to stay awake for the Cowboys/Dolphins?

[NaMeaHou]

I intend to pace myself throughout the day. Though I used to always root for the Dolphins, they have made some dumb moves in recent years - the most recent being Griese. So, as a lifetime Cowboy fan, I have no problem saying:

How 'bout Them Cowboys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TSIAS]

1. I'll be watching

Miami has their work cut out. It's been a short week, and their Sunday game ended around Midnight.

Our season is on the line here. If we cannot win these big road games, there's not much hope in the playoffs.

[NaMeaHou]

2. Patriots and Eagles

tough games. Bills - not so tough. Jets - could be really tough.

[TSIAS]

3. I worry about the Buffalo and Jets games

The Dolphins aren't built to go into cold weather come December. The Jets are always a tough team for Miami to beat.

Miami really needs to win 2 of the next 3 games (Dallas, NE, and Philly) to be set up good for the playoffs.

[NaMeaHou]

4. His forward progress was not stopped because

there was no whistle.

buuuullllssshhhhittttt

[TSIAS]

5. His progress was stopped

The official was calling it dead, whether or not the whistle blew.

His progress was stopped for a good two seconds. Good call on the officials' part.

[NaMeaHou]

6. His progress was stopped for two seconds in slow motion!

Can you tell who I'm rooting for?

Damn.

:)

[TSIAS]

7. What a sloppy game

Two turnovers in a few seconds.

Ricky's a great back, but like Ahman Green, he has a propensity to fumble.

[NaMeaHou]

8. His year is nowhere close to last year

He's still very, very good, but what is going on?

btw - Go Cowboys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TSIAS]

9. He doesn't have much of a line

Wade Smith, the LT, is a rookie who was just converted from TE at Memphis.

Jamie Nails was great last year, but Achilles surgery has slowed him down.

Ruddy and Perry in the interior are getting a little long in the tooth.

They've had a ton of injuries on the line. Mark Dixon was solid last year, but hasn't played a down this year and is on IR. We're going with young guys like Greg Jerman and Seth McKinney.

Williams is getting the ball a lot. He leads the league in carries. It's just tough without much blocking.

[NaMeaHou]

10. Those dirty filthy dolphins

how could they execute like that? It ain't right, I tell ya.

Did you know that more dolphins probably take drowning swimmers back out to sea than save them by bringing them close to shore?

Damn. I was this close, and had only that much strength left, when this fucking dolphin grabbed me and dragged me out to sea. I was lucky a tuna ship spotted me or I don't know what might have happened.

[NaMeaHou]

11. halla freakin lulah

Gotta love those refs (unless it's the Seattle/Baltimore group)

[MrSlayer]

12. Bet your ass I'm watching.

As an Eagles fan, this game is very important. Go Dolphins!!!!

[NaMeaHou]

15. Tough road ahead

@ Panthers 1:00 PM EST FOX
Dec 7 Cowboys 1:00 PM EST FOX
Dec 15 @ Dolphins 9:00 PM EST ABC
Dec 21 49ers 4:15 PM EST FOX*
Dec 27 @ Redskins 8:30 PM EST ESPN*

[TSIAS]

18. That is difficult

Dallas has it slightly easier. They've got the difficult Philly game on the road, but also have softer touches in Washington and New Orleans. The Giants at home should be a victory.

The Philly game will be big. If they beat the Eagles twice, they'll have the NFC East tiebreaker if each team finished with identical records. Especially if Miami ends up winning here, Dallas will really need that December 7 game.

[TSIAS]

13. I haven't seen the Dolphins play this well on offense all year

These last 3 quarters (including the 4th Quarter of the Washington game) have been great.

I wish Mare would have gotten that extra point at the end of the half. That kind of thing can come back to haunt you in the 2nd Half.

[NaMeaHou]

14. Parcells is a wizard at making halftime adjustments

I don't know about Wannstedt. He still seems to me to not be able to motivate his players. He has Williams and Fiedler that are hungry, among others, but are they a team?

[TSIAS]

16. Absolutely

Wannstedt is a sorry coach. He's simply too nice of a guy.

Btw, I was enjoying the game until Toby Keith came on here at halftime. :puke:

[NaMeaHou]

17. Those cheerleaders are nice

if you mute the sound.

I like the flags too. The red, white and blue.

It's my country, dammit!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NaMeaHou]

19. Should have taken a nap

am I dreaming/nightmaring?

oh well. Such is life. It's only a game dammit. Don't get so upset. Why get so involved in the damn thing. It's only a game. dammit. dammit.

oh well.

How many minutes left?

[MrSlayer]

20. HAHA!

Plenty of time left in the game. 13 minutes in the 3rd quarter. God, I can't wait to destroy these punks at the Linc on Dec 7th.

[NaMeaHou]

21. Rush would tell you their quarterback is a loser

and who am I to disagree?

dammit. dammit. dammit.

:)

[TSIAS]

22. Miami needs to stop playing conservative

I worry when Wannstedt stops going with what's been working all day. Running 3 times and punting isn't acceptable.

[NaMeaHou]

23. Is there a football game on?

I hadn't noticed. Much too busy with drinking and eating.

If I get a moment, I may take a look, but really don't have a great interest in it.

AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH

[TSIAS]

24. Another 3 on the board

Dolphins hit 40. Last time they scored 40 points was last year's season opener versus Detroit.

[NaMeaHou]

25. Maybe this is the year they don't fall apart at the end

Some high flying dolphins today!

Congrats and I'll be looking forward to the rest of the season. They will now, in my mind, be definitely in the playoffs.

[Tempest]

26. Miami 40, Cowboys 21

In another thread I was the only one rooting for the Dolphins.

I won't gloat.

[TSIAS]

27. I was pulling for Miami

That was a sweet victory today. I'm not expecting Super Bowl, but these last 3 weeks have been nice.

[youngred]

28. as a lifetime Dolphins fan

HOW ABOUT THEM DOL-PHINS!!!!!!

Ya Baby!

just a back to DU kick for a great game thatthe Dolphins REALLY needed
