See... you should have gotten Lasik! 😄

Dalton Kincaid is the x-factor - I think he's the guy that steps up in this situation, particularly if the middle of the field is an option and McD hasn't yet burned the timeouts on defense. I also would like to see Cook involved more in the passing game in these situations as a checkdown rather than Allen default to running. I just don't trust Coleman to make a play in these situations. Oddly Dawson Knox, for all the times early in the game that he has hands of stone, often steps up late in the game.

I'm in Kauai this week. Every other time I have been here, if I watch the game at Kalapaki Joe's, they lose. If I watch it in the hotel room, they win. You can be sure I decided to watch it at the hotel room... and it paid dividends!

Crayonz's thread back in 2008 when it was suggested we should lose to the Cardinals because it was an NFC game. That was the game that Trent Edwards got his clock cleaned on a sack and he was never the same afterwards. The "abortion" comment from Alaska Darin in the retata thread was an all time great. For all those of you who miss crayonz, I'm pretty sure 4merper4er (former performer) is his most recent incarnation.

Holy cow this. Why do we play like crap in "meaningless" games that end up biting us at the end of the season for the 1 seed?

Feels odd for sure, especially in the middle of the season with games remaining. Putting on an event like this isn't free and they want to prevent no-shows, so I can understand the cost. That said, $35 feels a bit high to me. $20 seems more appropriate maybe?

I said in another thread that I didn't see the point of firing Babich when the problem was the personnel. I think at this point, given the lack of discipline on defense - you have to fire the guy and let McD run it for the remainder of the season. Just to save face at the very least. Something has to be done.

The defense is absolutely pathetic.

Colts/Chargers being buried in the 4:05 late window is unfortunate. Probably the most interesting game on the schedule this week.

100% agree - he's likely going to try to get something else. That said... I think his smartest move would be to get into broadcasting and move away from coaching. I don't see him getting a better gig. The big time programs aren't going to hire him with his record in big games.

Add me to the group that wants to see Gore out there. He showed flashes in preseason and I think he's earned the opportunity to get called up for a game.

LOL - discipline for Rex is going up to the buffet no more than five times and skipping the sprinkles at the dessert bar. Please oh please Miami, hire Rex.

The Dolphins have a situation where I feel like they could make an in-season coaching move to an interim guy. It's clear McDaniel is not the long term answer and with Hill out... there's very little hope they can turn it around to make the playoffs. Might as well shake it up, see how the players react, and gauge who you want to keep for next year. Meanwhile you give someone a 10-ish game interview to see how they handle things.

They were worse in the stadium. Other than body size I couldn’t distinguish Knox’s 88 and Kincaid’s 86. Though I guess one has hands of stone and the other typically makes an impact so that was another way too. I really disliked these jerseys and I hope they get canned after whatever the minimum number of years they’re required to use them is. I guess they’re better than the red jerseys but why not just give us the 90’s throwbacks like everyone has asked for?

I am staying over in East Aurora for the game today. I was a bit surprised to see so many of the rivalry jerseys while walking around. I guess the marketing is working?
