well...it looked like we had a great shot at beating the Colts...The Pats game...we lost...we freakin blew it and that game has come back to haunt us.
so far...the ball has not bounced our way...we have had ONE very bad calls at a "CRITICAL" time that was a factor...
Game 1...that bogus holding call on Randy McMichael...Ricky ran it for a 45 yard TD...only to have it called back...that hurt us!!!
Game 2....home vs. the Pats...see I don't blame the dirt infield at all...Mare gets paid a lot of $$$ to make field goals...he had two shots from the 30-35 yard line and he did not come through...ya one was blocked but the other he shanked...
Game 3...home vs. the Colts...yes...I was there for that one...my first fins home game...I live in Connecticut and was so siked for this game...when T-Buck got the int...I was going crazy...Dwight Freeney made a great play for the Colts to seal it for them.
So we could say that we could be 11-1...laugh all you want Pats fans but we could but the fact is....we are not!!!
I know...there were a couple of games that we could have lost but we won...see the other team did not lose...we won...
The Ravens game...Mare missed a FG again...the ball did bounce our way when Lewis fumbled but we took advantage of that and won...we played a little better than the Ravens and deserved to win.
The Skins game...it was apparant that if Fiedler started that game...it may have not been a contest at all...but again we still won and the other team did not lose the game...we won it...Our SP screwed up and Newsome fumbled...so did the Skins return guy fumble which helped us clinch the 1 point victory when McKnight recovered.
All the other games...we really controlled the game...Jets, Bills, Giants, Jags, Chargers, and Cowboys.
The only game we really got beat in was vs. the Titans.
Forget about the past I guess and move on...plus...i'd rather have the ball bounce our way towards the end of the season...
Hey...the Pats are 10-2 and as much as I hate them (living in CT) they have beat some quality opponents this season...I do have respect for them...and I expect Sunday's game to be a dogfight!!!
Go Fins!!!
