Miami @ New England: Getting Pumped



Loved this from the Master this week....


'I think to have a really good team in this league, you have to make a lot, a lot of good decisions. You have to have a lot of good people, players, coaches, whatever. You need a lot of those. Conversely, to not be competitive, you would have to have a lot of bad decisions. One bad decision is not going to do it, one bad player is not going to do it, one bad coach is not going to do it. You’re going to have to collectively, over a cumulative period of time, make a long series of bad decisions and accumulate a lot of players who are substandard for their position. There have to be a multitude of things that go wrong.'

'Jimmy Johnson once said to me: “You’re really only competing with about 10 teams a year. If you just say out of the way, the other 20 teams will screw it up themselves. Whether it’s ownership or personnel or coaching or some combination of factors.” Ego, internal struggle, something will happen to two-thirds of the teams, that was Jimmy’s theory. That leaves you with about 10 teams that you’re going to have to really battle with. Those teams have it together. They’re going to make good decisions and if you play bad football, they’re going to take advantage of it.”'

Go Patriots.

UPDATE



Well, you might not rate that as the best win of all time, but could Miami have done any more or play any better than that?  No turnovers, introduced the "White-cat", played good run defense, played great coverage, Henne was accurate - just a really good, professional game from the Fish.  Except for Joey Porter. 

As for the Patriots, how many wins have they had like that since 2001 huh?  Fifty?  Chess, motherfucker.

Next up... let's hope it's this:
