    Awww man!!!

    Great half, this is what it feels like then?

    4th and goal for the cowboys and our rookie has his best play of the season to stop them. Darnold comes in and launches one.... Boom!

    Jets are a totally different team with Darnold. Looking forward to next Monday night now.

    Detroit have been shafted here, terrible calls by the officials.

    Didn't see it but hearing about it this morning.

    The officials did their best to drive Dallas down the field in the dying minutes on Sunday too, some very dubious PI calls.

    Jalen Ramsey to the Jaguars.

    Marcus Peters to the Ravens.

    I can’t complain with that. Huge for the Rams but have fun when he refuses to play when he decides he wants paid.

    Ramsay is extremely talented but the Rams have given up too much to get him in my opinion. This move would only really make sense if the Rams were one good cornerback away from being a Superbowl winning team. They are far from that. Todd Gurley is finished, their offensive line is a mess, and they are pretty weak at linebacker. That's a lot of holes to fill and now they don't have many high draft picks to fill them. They've mortgaged their future to win now, that's a policy that seldom works.

    Shafted is right. It was like watching Willie Collum and Bobby Madden officiate an NFL game.

    Surely you aren’t claiming the Patriots get preferential treatment? :84:

    :fear:

    Hopefully they won't matter, maybe being the only game on the increased attention may see them less biased...

    Happy Mosley is fit, and have a feeling we could do something. I've heard they aren't all that this year :39:

    Does anyone watch college football? Is this QB the Dolphins are tanking for THAT special?

    Its not just the QB’s on offer they need a full rebuild, I’m not saying that’s happening all from draft picks that’s why they are freeing up cap room as if it’s going out of fashion.

    All about the collective
    Tua is the most versatile certainly. The only dual threat. Not many QBs this year will be picked near him.
    But Chase Young is the most talented player in the draft so the dolphins may pass on Tua and stick with Rosen to get Young.

    Yeah Tua is the guy they are rumoured to have their eye on. He will need to be one * of a talent just to survive his rookie year in Miami. It's going to take more than one offseason to make that roster anything like respectable.

    It's not just about the QB position but that is definitely the biggest driver behind what the Dolphins are doing. They have a been a middle of the road team - not good, not terrible - for a long time now and a big reason for that is the mediocre QB play they've had. I think they've taken an editorial decision that they've had enough of that and are just going to take one year of being flat out awful in order to get a QB who they hope can be their Patrick Mahomes or the best thing since Dan Marino.

    They will likely succeed in getting the QB they want but the big issue is......what will that QB have around him? I don't think there is one area of the Dolphins team that doesn't require an injection of talent. They are poor across the board. It will probably take 2-3 years of shrewd drafting(not something the Dolphins have been known for in recent times) to fix that. Hopefully for Miami the kid at QB won't get destroyed in the meantime.

    I read someone say they are planning on tanking next year too!

    Something about an even better QB coming through then
