I needed 48 hours to choke down enough bile to be able to make this post without, well, choking on my own bile.

Congratulations to your Miami Dolphins. That was one FUCK of a season your boys put up.

*choke*

;)

1. Weird season ---one of the weirdest I've seen in a long long time.
I never thought I'd see an 11-5 team miss the playoffs while a 8-8 team (Chargers) make the playoffs. I heard one knucklehead sports commentator yell that the system needs to be changed and that the NFL needs to change it over the off-season. Chuckle--- I thought---change it to what? It is what it is... you win your Division---you're in. You have a good enough record for the wildcard, you're in. I mean how would you keep a Division winner out of the playoffs--- you simply can't and I don't think it will ever happen.

Just tough luck on the Pats part.... Your team was every bit as good as last season and with Brady--- well who knows.

I'm just delighted that the Phins finally have a decent QB. I started to believe that Marino put a curse on us when he retired--- From Jay Fiedler to Jay Feeley--- it's been rough for us Phin fans.

Scary part about my team is it's in the first year of a rebuild. We still have a bit of work on the O-Line and Secondary... but I see a competitive team for the next several years. Parcell's finally eliminated the stench of Dave Wannstedt. Now let's hope Bill sticks around for a couple of years.

Anyhow---thanks for swallowing.

2. Change to a table... instead of using divisions.
Sure we'd miss the big head-to-head game at the end, but the system would be more fair.

Fairness isn't so popular here though, obviously.

3. Well--- to be fair...
This was anomaly of a season.... and things like this don't happen very often.
