NFL 2024-2025

The Dolphins have played nine quarters without Tua. They have scored 16 points total over that span.
I didn't initially realize the other game was on ABC so was watching Dolphins/Titans on ESPN. Even once I became aware of the option to switch over I just couldn't . . . it was like they say about not being able to stop watching a trainwreck. That was simply one of the worst "NFL" (please visualize air quotes being made) games I've ever seen. The final ~3 minutes of the first half went down as if they were being played by people who had never even SEEN a football game before and officiated by people who'd scanned the rulebook minutes earlier. It didn't get any better after the half. Just. awful. Shame, shame!
 
After playing here for the Titans for 8 years, I thought Derrick Henry going to the Ravens was a great move for him.

After watching the Ravens / Bills game, and the very first play, the O line makes a hole, DH (6'4", 250#, 30 yrs old), runs through it and THREE Bills DB's can't catch him all the way to the goal line, I was right.

If he'd thrown in one of his stiff-arms, it would a been even better.

Seattle's defense was missing five starters at the beginning of the game and lost another. It's not a surprise the Lions put up so many points, but it was closer at the end than the score would indicate. Maybe the Seahawks will be a decent team this season. They were due to screw something up, and they did. Plus, they hadn't played an NFL team yet, and now they have. The Lions showed where they need plenty of work. They also hurt themselves in a way the Lions didn't.

I'll have to take your word for it because, as I noted, I didn't see that game and was commenting on the Dolphins/Titans game.

I fell asleep last night watching that TB/ATL game. I only tuned in because I enjoy listening to Al Michaels call a game in any sport. Herbstreit I don't care for, but I like Michaels enough to put up with Kirk.
I woke up just as the Koo FG tied the game and dozed off until I watched that catch and run from Hodge. Now that was cool to see him pull away from everyone. The thing I liked the most about his run is he didn't start showboating or looking all over the field. He focused on the end zone and bolted for it, only glancing over his shoulder once to each side in quick succession when he broke into clear field. I knew nothing about KhaDarel Hodge before last night, but I already like how he plays.

The Dolphins won the pillow fight of the week vs. the Patriots, thanks to an offensive explosion of 15 points. :bag:

Dang shame to see Rodgers and the Jets implode this morning.:laugh: And I'm amazed that Josh Allen went 9-for-30 today, whew! It's funny to see Miami just one game behind Buffalo. I have no doubt the gap will be wider at season's end.

I don't understand why that TD by Polk at the end of the MIA/NE game was ruled incomplete. One foot down and he toe tapped the other.

-Mike
It's because his heel on that tapping foot came down out of bounds. I think if only his toes had hit the grass, and then he stepped out of bounds with the other foot, it would have been a TD.

What about the toe drag/tap plays? Polk drug his toes on the second foot, then they say incomplete? It's not right.
Any other time it's the same deal, toe drags/taps then the rest of the foot comes down
