Around SBN: Dolphins vs Patriots: The Biggest Game in Years for Miami Bar-right-arrows



You too can kick BigBlueShoe in the nuts!

There have been numerous times I was so right about something it wasn't even funny. And then, there's the stuff I was wrong about; dead wrong; so wrong it should get me deported. Some of these wrongs are pleasant, as I was pessimistic about something and it turned out being a good thing. Other times, I was just stupidly wrong. Here, I fess up to them:

  • Remember when I laughed at the idea of Ben Roethlisberger running a Colts-style offense? I try not to remember, because Ben is having a career year working in that offense under Bruce Arians, and the Pittsburgh offense has never looked better. 23 TDs, 8 INT, 107.3 QB rating. Yep, I was pretty damn wrong about that.
  • I once said Marvin Lewis was a top tier coach. Yeah, I was pretty wrong about that too. His team is 4-7, and they are all but out of the playoffs... again. He's lost control of his team, and Chad Johnson is still acting like an idiot. Marvin deserves a pink slip.
  • I claimed the Ravens would win the AFC North. Laugh. I deserve it.
  • Tim and Matt can now point their fingers at me and yuck it up: I said David Carr was a good player who got a bad rap. If you've watched any Carolina Panthers games this year, you know I'm pretty much an idiot when it comes to assessing David Carr's play. The guy lost his job to a 44-year-old. So very, very sad.
  • Back in August, I said the weakest position on the Colts was defensive tackle. Happily, I was wrong. Ed Johnson, Keyunta Dawson, Raheem Brock, and Quinn PitCOCK have formed the best tackle rotation this team has ever seen. The Colts are currently ranked #2 overall in total defense. Insanity, I know. I also claimed the deepest position was WR. I'm on a roll, aren't I?
If I was wrong on anything else, kindly use this thread to kick me in the nuts with it.

I can't list them all BBS
because I would have to type for days, but you were definitely wrong about Romo, Wade Phillips and Jason Garrett  who produced the 2nd best offense in the league this year and if this was a normal year, meaning if Brady wasn't playing out of his mind, they would be the best.

Before the season started I proclaimed Romo would shatter all the Cowboys passing records this year and I was laughed at, but I guess I'll get the last laugh like I usually do.

Well, let's be clear
I've ALWAYS said Romo was good, and it is no surprise to me he is playing well. I don't recall bashing Garnett.

Wade Phillips is still a bum. Let's see the Cowboys win a few playoff games before we start forgetting all the clubs Phillips DESTROYED as Head Coach. Also, the Cowboys play in the JV league of the NFL: The NFC.

Oh you definitely bashed Garrett
because you bashed Jones for hiring him as OC saying he was a joke.

Phillips has already proved he's a very good coach in the league and he'll prove it again in the playoffs. The NFC is much better than you give them credit for. You take NE out of the picture and the best NFC teams are most definitely as good as the best AFC teams. I quarantee the SB will be highly contested this season because the NFC won't have a scrub at QB.

I got news for you, Romo is better than good, he's really good.

Re: Garrett
Ok, I believe you. Kick away.

I will fess up for the Carr one
I actually endorsed the Bears going after him in the off season.

I'm sure you said something...
About the Jaguars being terrible this year.

But then again, you were absolutely and 100% correct about Byron Leftwich, so it might just be a push.

Carr and a second chance
 i thought carr might deserve a second chance since he really never much protection in houston, but he has proven that once again a QB from that system just can't make it in the NFL...

hehe
You've already fessed up to the Roethlisberger assesment - so you're off the hook.

I gotta say though, for all your brazen talk -most of which is light-hearted and discussion worthy -  the notion of cutting Roethlisberger has to be considered your most ludicrus statement ever ;)

Funny idea for a post. Good work.

It's funny
Until he does it again and kills your season... again. ;)

I've always liked Roethlisberger, but doing something that stupid was unforgivable.
