Let’s go Phins!
Sully & Hafley gonna take us to the promise land
Stafford did not convert a single 3rd down passing. 1-8 total conversions.
Its clear now, that Josh allen is the best qb in nfl history. He clears checkdown and iq merchants with noodle arms like manning and brady. Josh Allen is the goat, whether you like it or not, most 40 td seasons consecutively in nfl history, best playoff stats in history, i can go on.
Coach Hafley gets me so fired up man. Seems like a real leader of men
Shrags is def the highlight to my day and Hafley as the new HC let’s go
Fins up 🐬
meh it aint all that unique to move alot. most military members do it every 3-4 years for 1/100th of the money. Side note! while you making all these changes to coaching staff PLEASE go poach the strength and training coordinator from the Florida Panthers!
Phins up!
As I am sad and sickened to see Mcdaniel in Chargers colors, Hafley seems like that dude. Hoping for the best and hoping we don’t like idiots in 5 years.
