For sure! Everyone in our family has their own wish list and we've all gotten pretty good at keeping them updated. Makes gifts very easy and there is still some element of surprise.

My daughter LOVES it, and I was happy to see her have that same experience with circling items and making the list. Reminds me of the 80s for sure.

They still have that. It's the Amazon holiday catalog, and they are in HIGH demand among the parents in the neighborhood because Amazon doesnt send them to everyone and it's totally random whether you get one or not...

This is it. We were one Keon Coleman catch-and-score away from taking a lead and starting another blowout.

That as the final TD goes right up there with this one... Josh picks up the 1st down here, lol. Dude just owns Miami.

Yeah they adjusted well in the Seahawks and Titans games. That's why it was more surprising today when it never came. I might guess it has to do with Hill and Waddle, and any adjustment might open them up. Which I can buy, considering that is Miami's entire team at this point.

Right on. End of the day, the beauty of it is we got Miami's absolute best and it still wasnt enough. And we're one Keon Coleman catch and TD away from it being closer to a usual blowout.

Maybe. Considering McDaniel and the Dolphins is the one team McD has consistently absolutely owned over the last 5-6 years, I give him the benefit of the doubt. But maybe some 1st down run blitzes was the counter-adjustment we needed to make. Although I'm not sure how aggressive we could get in any game where Elam is forced into a starting CB role. I guess I'm mostly disappointed that our staff didnt have anything up their sleeve for that last Miami possession after Josh put us up 7. If no other time, that's when we needed to come up with a stop. And we were like warm jello out there.

I honestly like the game plan because it's what we usually do against Miami, and it usually works well. It didnt today, for whatever reason, and McD/Babich didnt have answers for Miami's adjustments. That's my bigger concern.

Agreed. I turned to my wife and said "Just let them score on the 1st place so we can get this over with and get the ball back in Josh's hands". Sure enough...

It happened so fast there's no way McD talked to anyone. The broadcast cut to him with the flag out before any replay was shown. Absolutely ridiculous.

Yes, that was the game plan. The problem was that while we dared them to run, we also allowed 8-12 yards whenever they ran it.

Man, I usually like to pop over to PhinHeaven.com after a win for a little bit of schadenfreude, but at this point it isnt even entertaining. They've hit the point of a losing season where they've just all turned on each other instead of the team. Not fun. Sad!

As a dad to a young child, we are always discussing and analyzing poops in this house.

Absolutely. Divisional games are always tough, across the entire league. And no matter what, I'm always happy with a win against the Dolphins. Especially when it means we SWEPT the Dolphins this year. But that doesnt mean I dont have anything to say about that HORRIBLE challenge by McDermott on Tua's 4th down run. WTF is this dude doing out there?

As we've been saying, dropping back in coverage. Yikes.

Yep. Another classic where Josh does something legendary (that TD toss to Morris) to take a 7 point lead late in the game... and somehow Josh ends up having to get the Bills in FG territory with under 2 min to go. Chalk one up for McD's phenomenal regular season record (won by Josh despite the coaching).

For what it's worth, it looked like McD/Babich had Oliver back in coverage on one of the Dolphins TDs, so not sure it's all Ed's fault. Ok so I wasnt just seeing things. Darn it. Even worse.

So he slid perfectly into the Tremaine Edmunds role.

Last year they had a playoff caliber roster. But after letting so many decent draft picks walk, and a lot of them being in the trenches, so they could further invest in Tua, Hill, and Waddle - they started this year the 3rd best roster in the Division alone.

Also, once again - Josh leaves the field with a TD lead only for McD and the defense to cancel out his greatness and let the other team score at will. Thank goodness they let them score so quickly there was enough time for Josh to bail him out again. Another one for the "McD has a great regular season record" book. 🙄

I'd rather he throw them into the ground than sail them into the hands of the other team. If he keeps erring on that side, I aint mad.

Happy Birthday Mead! Thanks for the stromboli!

Yeah, I know we arent going undefeated, but it's frustrating seeing the Jets beat the Texans and the Browns beat the Ravens after those teams dominated us so thoroughly. I get the Texans are a very different team right now with most of their WRs out. But we barely showed up in Baltimore.

lol, one win and the Jets Hype Train is back chugging at full speed. "Is Wilson's catch the NFL Catch of the Year?!?" "Is that catch the turning point of the Jets' season?!?" Folks will never learn.
