Nothing like waiting until the last minute, right?

Miami Dolphins

Week 2: @ Patriots - LOSS
Week 3: vs. Browns - WIN
Week 4: at Bengals - LOSS
Week 5: vs. Titans - WIN
Week 6: vs. Steelers - LOSS
Week 7: vs. Bills - WIN
Week 8: BYE
Week 9: vs. Jets - LOSS

Week 13: at Ravens - LOSS
Week 14: vs. Cardinals - LOSS
Week 15: at Jets - LOSS
Week 16: at Bills - LOSS
Week 17: vs. Patriots - LOSS

Also, are we doing the weekly pick 'em this year too? Mark me as a loss for the first game; I would have picked Camolina. Otherwise:
- Buccaneers over Falcons
- Titans over Vikings
- Eagles over Browns
- Bengals over Jets
- Saints over Raiders
- Chiefs over Chargers
- Ravens over Bills
- Texans over Bears
- Packers over Jaguars
- Seahawks over Dolphins
- Giants over Cowboys

Welp, it's week two and the season is over already. At least they got it out of the way early this year. And I'm not even mad. In fact, I think I want them to make it to 20 years. At least we can try and break a record that way.

Gumchum · #25

gotta say, as somebody who loves packers schadenfreude more than anything else in this world, working at a milwaukee sports talk station the day after a loss is the best thing ever

did you know that aaron rodgers is a bad quarterback

Shaun Hill
Drew Stanton
Jon Kitna
Joey Harrington
Jeff Garcia
Johnny Manziel
Tim Tebow
Colt McCoy
Brady Quinn
Ryan Leaf.

who would've thought that the Lions would be leading the division going into week 12? still waiting for them to blow it somehow.

Gumchum · #29

Who would have thought the Dolphins would win five straight?

#30

all i care about is the browns losing five more games

Gumchum · #31

Waiting for five more Browns losses like

Ok, now that I've actually updated the spreadsheet...

If y'all watch any game in this regular season, tonight wouldn't be a bad choice.

Hey [USER=15474]@Gumchum[/USER] , question about Mizzuruh. With the Rams defecting to LA, have football fans stuck with them, or have they converted to KC or otherwise?

YouTube · #34

^My mom has abandoned the NFL completely over this. She still watches Mizzou, though. There's a fair mix of responses; not many have really stuck with them, though.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Auron · #35

As someone who roots for a team that was almost taken away, I can attest to the fact that I (and many people I know) would have just abandoned the NFL had that happened.

Granted I'm getting close to doing that anyways, but that's just 17 years and counting talking...

Hard to say, I'm stuck in miserable Teddy Bear Country. [USER=25169]@CaptHayfever[/USER] knows better than I do.

I'm about an hour away from being considered northern Illinois, man. My hometown is slightly closer to St. Louis, but now I'm much closer to Chicago. It's Bears fans with a few Packers fans here and there, and one weirdo Dolphins fan.

#39

Gotcha. For the record, when I said "in town" I meant "in St. Louis," not really your proximity to it.

Though to be fair, I had you mentally placed a lot closer to St. Louis than that.

Gumchum · #40

TBH, the Rams were always kind of an afterthought in central Illinois; can't speak for anything south of I-70. North of I-80, though, nobody gave a flying flip about the Rams.
