NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

Because Waddle and Mostert aren't going to account for 37 points.

Would it be closer? Sure....but chances are Baltimore still would have won.

Kind of like when people were clowning the Lakers for a 20-plus point blowout earlier this season when they were missing 3-4 key players and people were saying that wasn't the difference in the game. When those players would have made a defensive impact on the game.

Come on now. Let's be consistent.

You are completely missing the point.

The Dolphins got blown out yesterday. Mostert and Waddle would not have changed the outcome yesterday.

That still doesn’t mean what you want it to mean.

And I promise you that if Miami and Baltimore do meet in the divisional round of the players (which is possible), the Ravens will be very aware that Miami is good enough to beat them.

I don’t think Miami will beat them. But it is absolutely possible.

Which is all @bksballer89 was saying in the first place.

We are going to have to agree to disagree.

The Ravens will still beat them pretty handily IMO.

Actually it was two 40 point losses.

So to be clear…

You are saying 100% of the time these 2 teams play the Ravens win?

No chance I would bet against the Ravens. The Dolphins don’t match up well against physical teams like Baltimore.

But this isn’t a 7 game series. It is any given Sunday. The Football can bounce in crazy ways and a lot of unexpected things can happen over the small sample size of 60 minutes. Dolphins have many playmakers. All it takes is a couple heroic plays on their end and a couple critical errors on Baltimore’s side.

You are very naive to think it is a lock the Ravens would win a rematch.

 

[DJ Fieri]

That is exactly why I think the Ravens would win a rematch. But, most likely by 10-14 points. Not a massive blowout like yesterday, but still double digits.

 

[DJ Fieri]

So you wouldn't bet against the Ravens but at the same time I am naive to think it's a lock?

Straddle that fence....LOL.

The point is in the NFL there is no such thing as a lock.

 

[DJ Fieri]

The point is in the NFL there is no such thing as a lock.

And I know that but IMO Baltimore would win and everybody is freaking out over my opinion....

Classic butt hurt-ism on tHoop.

LOL.

Are you actually serious with this post? Really?!?

You think favorites never choke? Upsets never happen?

Just because someone wouldn't bet on the Dolphins, doesn't mean they have no chance.

No, they're pointing out that acting like it's lock is stupid.

 

[DJ Fieri]

No, they're pointing out that acting like it's lock is stupid.

And I never said or acted like it would as a lock. It's just my opinion Baltimore would win a rematch. And people freaking out.

Holy fuck balls.

SMH.

Yes, you did. You literally just mocked someone for saying they would bet on the Ravens while acknowledging that the Dolphins could pull off an upset.

No one has disagreed that the Ravens likely win.

You need to listen to @msgkings322 when he tells you that you suck at trolling.

 

[tlance]

Cmon man.

You absolutely did that.

When you make of someone for claiming that the Dolphins could possibly win the game, you are claiming that it is a lock.

Just because the Ravens did win (as everyone here expected) doesn’t mean that the Ravens are a lock to win a future matchup.

 

[tlance]

So you wouldn't bet against the Ravens but at the same time I am naive to think it's a lock?

Yes.

That isn’t a straddle.

It is you being incredibly short sighted.

I would bet on the Ravens to win by a TD or more in a game played in Baltimore.

But I am not dumb enough to think Miami is incapable of winning the game.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Glad we are kicking the year off with a stupid semantics debate lol

 

[dtgold88]

Completely stupid. I'm not even a Dolphins fan, but I was watching that game cursing at the TV for McDaniel to pull all his starters like 5 series before he actually did. Tua got dinged up too. Just an absolute disaster day for Miami. Some of it was just the ass whooping Baltimore opened up but a good chunk of that was entirely preventable.

I thought Bmore left their guys in too long, as well......glad they did as LJ helped carry me to a FFL title.

 

[dtgold88]

That is exactly why I think the Ravens would win a rematch. But, most likely by 10-14 points. Not a massive blowout like yesterday, but still double digits.

Guessing that's how most see it......but kooky talk to think Miami does not have a realistic chance to win.

 

[dtgold88]

I thought Bmore left their guys in too long, as well......glad they did as LJ helped carry me to a FFL title.

and once again I was left out. That's bullshit!!

He's clearly dying on this hill.....can you give a warning before they keep this going long enough to get me banned?
