Brady would have called head Then Collinsworth would have run out the booth, got on his knees and said "anything you say, Tom"

I never believed we were a cursed franchise... until today
RobbRiddick replied to saundena's topic in The Stadium Wall
I get that you're down about the outcome, I feel down when I think about it, but there are no such things as curses. Yeah we lost 4 SBs but what about the teams that have never been there? Are they less cursed than us because they've never had to suffer the agony of losing the biggest game? Or are they cursed because they never got to experience the hope before kickoff? All those years when we never got to the playoffs it was easy for me. I knew we wouldn;t get to the playoffs and could just sit back every year detached from it all and enjoy the games, laugh at the mistakes and hope Brady lost. Once you're a good team and you're getting to the playoffs regularly it becomes something you're invested in again and you open yourself up to the agony of defeat again. But i'd rather be there with a chance than not. I bet Dolphin fans are laughing their a**es off this morning after seeing us lose, but if curses really exist then they're the ones who are truly cursed. A s*** show of a franchise with a sub par QB and searching for a coach again after having two big games at the end of consecutive seasons where if they win they're in, only to get blown out. Maybe I'm becoming more glass if half full as my years advance but I don't feel cursed. i feel damn lucky that we have Josh Allen as our QB, while the Jets feel cursed for taking Darnold. The AFC isn't going to go through KC every year, that just won't happen. We'll have our day eventually and then we'll get 1000 threads saying the curse has been lifted -

Provide you(r) own Hot Take Monday [edit]

As I get older I get less down about this stuff. Sure, during the game I'm a lunatic but after I try and look at the positives while reminding myself that it's not a massive deal in the grand scheme of my life. The positive I take from this is that the entire NFL world has finally opened its eyes to the fact that Josh Allen is a once in a generation player. Seriously, the love and respect he's getting is insane right now, and as someone who has wondered for years why this hasn't happened it's nice to see. Yeah, no moral victories, I get that, but this guy is going to win us a SB, I'm sure of it. In fact I'm already positive that barring injury he wins the MVP next year and gets us homefield advantage throughout the playoffs. -

So many fan bases out there think they are cursed. The Jets are cursed, the Dolphins, the Jags, the Bengals, it goes on and on. The Oilers were cursed when we came back from 35-3 down to beat them. John Elway and the Broncos were cursed until they beat the Packers. I'd say, awful loss aside, we're one of the lucky few franchises that has not only a franchise QB but one of the very top players at any position in the entire league. Dolphins fans are staring down the barrel of another season with Tua at the helm, how do you think they feel? -
How many chances does McDermott have left?

Reminds me of Buddy Ryan's quote after the Eagles fired him after another playoff exit: "I've been fired for losing before, this is the first time I was fired for winning" -
I'd love it if they did but I agree that McD wouldn't do it due to different philosophies
