Steelers/Chiefs

[dolphins4life]

We want the Steelers in this game for obvious reasons.

Sigh, this is another year of what might have been.  Like 2020 and 2021

I hope they are still in the race after Saturday

Barring a miracle comeback by the Steelers, it appears we are going to have to rely on Carson Wentz to get us into the playoffs.

I was reading the Dolphins' Wikipedia page.

It said that since Marino retired, they've been mired in mediocrity.

Marino took us to the playoffs 10 of his 17 seasons.

We've been six times since he retired.

The Dolphins have been to the playoffs in back-to-back seasons for the first time in a quarter-century, and 3 days ago there was a plane flying above the stadium calling to fire the GM.

Hard to complain about how few playoff appearances the Dolphins have while fans are shouting to immediately fire the guys who manage to get them there.

On another note, this is a terrible idea and I feel really bad for these guys.   I've always been a vocal opponent of Thursday night football.  But playing Sunday and then having to play Wednesday??  SHEESH!!

All 4 of these teams played on Saturday, in preparation for exactly this event.

Still against it because of the short turnaround.   I've never liked Thursday night football and think it needs to be abolished save for opening week and Thanksgiving.   And the six teams that play on Thanksgiving should have their bye week the previous Sunday

Not only that but in the Marino years the Dolphins won 8 playoff games. I think they have won 1 playoff game since.

The NBA won the viewership battle and it wasn't even close.  They are really pissed that the NFL tried to invade their day and had LeBron throwing shade at them as a result.

I hate Thursday night games, I hate the 17 game schedule, I hate all these extra games popping up as basically PPV with some streaming service ( subscribe to Sirius XM if you want football ) and I absolutely hate nfl trying to to butt in on the NBA


I wish my dumb nuggets would have won but it was great to watch them play and the NFL needs a god damn reality check because their product sucks

Please link to your ratings information. The NFL has continually won head to head so I doubt any single NBA game drew more viewers. Why do you think the NBA is being so vocal?

Not this year they didn't.   Every major media outlet is reporting it.  Here's one.

You obviously didn't read the article. It says the NBA match upside were better but more people watched the NFL.
