The selfish, totally undisciplined glory hounds known as the Mimi Dolphins are utterly dead to me. This is by far the worst choke I have seen and I have been a fan for 45 years. The Bruins have gotten me this disappointed and angry a couple times, but it has been a while. Clear the freaking decks.

Ever since McDaniels got greedy and hung 70 on the Broncos for show they've been bit by karma.

Could have set the nfl record for points in game too but he kneed the ball instead of trying for the FG, I didn't watch that game though so yeah I'm sure he was blatantly running it up towards the end.

At least I think I recall someone saying that iirc.

Both Titans & Giants join 5 win Club

Washington only other 4 win team and they beat Patriots head to head if that is first tie breaker (guessing is but not sure)

Looks like Patriots can win another and still be 2

Arizona sitting at 3-10. I wouldn’t put it past the Cardinals to draft a QB & try to move on from Murray. I just hope Pats get a QB & don’t end up signing Cousins

Cousins is averaging like 4500 yds a season and 3 to 1 td to int ratio over like the last 8 seasons. Better than 90% of the guys drafted in the first round in the last 10+ years. You could certainly do a lot worse. If they had him this season, they probably win the afc east.

I would have no issues signing KC for a short term deal and draft Harrison, then take care of our OL and other needs in the draft.

Need a puke emoji….


Cousins? Definitely need a puke emoji…
Cousins would at least have this team as a playoff contender if the new GM knows how to acquire talent. I could get behind signing him and still drafting a QB. Zappe as backup and a redshirt year for rookie.

Curran on WEEI at noon sure dropped more hints then the average Easter egg hunt Bill gone - mutual parting

Steve wants to stay here not go with dad and Bill feels likewise

My educated guess is Bill leaves and Steve stays on Mayo staff

If they do keep holdovers it should be a very short leash for this staff. As an example, Mayo HC, Steve B DC, BOB OC...

If they're doing that I give the staff two years to make the playoffs and show signs of building something.

The more important question, is who is going to be making the personnel decisions once BB is gone? THAT'S the bigger issue with this team.....Are you guys comfortable with Matt Groh and Jonathan Kraft making those calls? I sure wouldn't be.

I think you have to get that sorted first, before you decide who your HC is going to be. But again, I don't have a dog in that fight.

I’m not but I’m not comfortable with Bill there.

Mayo by all accounts is getting this - seems like a lock

I would keep OBrien $ Steve B as coordinators

So then what are you really changing? You have the same guys picking the players (minus Bill), and basically the same guys coaching the team (minus Bill). That doesn't strike me as being a significant change in direction for a team that is miles away from playoff contention.

You know the old saying about insanity being defined as doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results.......
