1. It's Tuesday morning and another Jets quarterback has NOT gone down with an inj--
2. Crap. Never mind.
3. It's Tuesday morning and the Dolphi--
4. Crap. Never mind.
5. (Because it doesn't matter what the Dolphins did/failed to do. "Never mind" will always be the default response for the Dolphins this season.)
6. (And "If that even counts" will be the default response to anything the Dolphins' opponents do. As in: "The Patriots beat the Dolphins 43-0 yesterday, if that even counts.")
7. Drew Brees is hurt. Ben Roethlisberger is hurt. Sam Darnold has mono. Trevor Siemian is hurt.
8. "Hey, I'm not hurt!" (Joe Namath.)
9. "Neither am I!" ((Richard Todd, Ken O'Brien, Chad Pennington, various other former Jets quarterbacks.)
10. "It's only Tuesday morning. Just wait." (The football gods)
