Monday Night Football: Miami Dolphins at Los Angeles Rams 8:15pm EST on ESPN

[Moab]

They mentioned about the playoffs this year having a team with a losing record has only been division winners. I honestly believe we will see at least 1 team in the AFC playoffs at 8-9, and maybe 2. Heck we might see that in the NFC too. Right now the NFC has 8 teams at .500 or better and the AFC has 7, one of the 7 is the 5-5 Broncos.

Costly sack for the Rams there - Dolphins are getting good pressure on Stafford tonight

The best part is that Wiggum's own son foils his attempt to humiliate Homer.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Rams are just plain bad on both sides of the ball.
Making the fish look like a top AFC team.

They really demoted Mostert to 3rd string this is horrible

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Well barring a miracle... just spammed posts on the LA Rams forum thinking it was this one...

 

[Xeliou66]

That FG likely seals it for the Fins. They’ve played a solid game - Rams have looked surprisingly bad tonight - their O-Line wasn’t good at all - allowed a mediocre Fins D to dominate.

So. Glad. I. Didn't take the Rams lol.... this would have stressed me out so bad

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Rams can't protect up the middle, yeesh.

 

[JoshLilesPFP]

lol... stop it Robinson...

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Well we should have an onside kick lol, at least...

......... dun dun dun........

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

At this point the Rams are gonna run out of time for that onside kick HA

Edit: Oh here they go.

 

[JoshLilesPFP]

lol... well that was anticlimactic...

 

[Moab]

Why kick a FG on 3rd down at the 10? I'd take one last shot...why not because your as deep as you can ask to be and onside kick is not a very good proposition. Either way, Dolphins kind of worked the Rams in this game...especially the Dolphins D played very well

Eh wasn't a bad onside kick attempt IMO.. but yah, this one is over.

 

[Xeliou66]

Fins win it 23-15. This keeps their season alive - they have two very winnable games next at home vs the Raiders and Pats, so they could get back to around 500 and if they pull an upset or two could have a decent season.
Bad loss for the Rams, they didn’t play well, their O-Line was trash, they needed to keep pace in the NFC playoff race, this was a bad performance.

Does it really matter? You still gotta onside kick it and score again... it really doesn't matter what order it comes in. If you recover the onside kick maybe momentum shifts and your players think you actually stand a chance so they try harder?

Just speculating...

At that point... time was more valuable than the points.

His point is... you can make a kick from deeper than the you can score a TD... but the reality is... the time became more valuable than the points.
