Alrighty, looks bleak but it could still happen..here is what we need:
Colts, Chargers, Raiders (which would be great) to finish 10-6
Dolphins finish 10-6
Ravens finish 10-6

We need the Ravens to finish 2-2, if they reach 3 wins, disregard this thread.
As an aside, that dolt Volin, when told of a 3 way tie possibility, said "Ravens hold head to head advantage", 3 way tie removes that from the table..he did not know that factoid. -
Here we have another Rah-Rah thread by people who just don't get it. Here I will spell it out for you........
THE DOLPHINS WILL NOT BE IN THE PLAYOFFS......
Get over it and get on with your winter and we'll come back for the draft........geeeesh !
Now lets debate more about who the next head coach will be (because I don't think Sparano will be back) -
I am a dolphins fan, until we are eliminated you will be subjected to such threads, if you no likey, no clicky on the thread title, it will save you aggravation.
Sorry bro, I never was much of a bandwagon fan, when things are tough I do not whine...Dolfan330, RickyBobby, Disnardo and 18 others like this. -
i'll believe and hope until we're mathematically eliminated... last year Jets were 6-6 after this week also... they made the conference championships...
time for Sparano and Henning to realize what we've been doing for 12 weeks isn't working... there is no reason not to switch it up, open up the offense some more, and see what happens... our offense cant get any worse than its been...
sorry we love you Polite, but i dont want to see you in the game as often as you are... bring another WR on the field... spread out defenses and let Henne attempt to make the right read...padre31 likes this. -
Its not a hard concept, elimination is the only way to not discuss what it would take...thats how it goes every season and should for every franchise. why root for a team if you go FETAL before you are ELIMINATED. sad....
Its not a question of odds....its a question of math plain and simple. Once eliminated, I will gladly move on with other aspects of this franchise and direction.Rocky Raccoon, Moves and unluckyluciano like this. -

"A must win game is either one in the playoffs, or one that if you lose, you are eliminated from playoff contention"
We are not there..yet,. the Ravens have to lose to the Texans and Cleveland or Cinci, if they lose to NOLA it does not hurt them as much, of course a loss is a loss but AFC losses are what the dolphins require. -

And believe me when I say, it is grim, but we ain't dead yet, who knows what effect the spanking the Jets had last night effects them moving forwards. -
If we dont make the playoffs so be it too...but for now.....its still there.SeanP, dolphindebby, padre31 and 1 other person like this. -
Besides, the pressure is off of the Dolphins now, if anything we can all sit back and chill and just enjoy the games. -
We can't beat the Browns at home with Delhomme at QB. Do you REALLY want to have to go to Foxboro and play the Pats?
Watch the tapes of last night's game. that would be the outcome. -

All I know is....waving a white flag is giving up. Until we CANT be in the playoffs....Im gonna keep my hopes up....
Ive seen this team play very well...and show they can beat anyone....they just dont do it consistantly....maybe the moon and stars align..I dont know....but its not impossible.SeanP and Rocky Raccoon like this. -
Losing to CLE sucks only because of what was at stake (still longshot if we did beat them as far as season is going)....losing to them from NFL standpoint is what it is...any given sunday when you BEAT YOURSELF it seems. -

I do think the Ravens or Jets will finish 10-6...but I just don't see the Dolphins living up to their end and winning out. We still have 2 home games left after all, where the Dolphins are 1-7 in their last 8 in Miami. They'll probably beat the Jets to get people's hopes up especially if the Ravens lose...only to come back and lose to either Buffalo or Detroit. [Buffalo to continue the win-loss-win-loss trend]

Our playoffs went down the toilet against Cleveland. Anyone who thinks otherwise better put down the crack pipe.

Finish 10-6
Longshot to be sure, however we are not eliminated..yet.RickyBobby likes this. -

Mathematically, we still have a chance. The possibility is there. The fact is though, that we haven't been playing like a playoff team. I didn't see any urgency from them on Sunday, and even Henne said "it's not life or death". Our defense is playoff caliber, for sure. But our offense borders on anemic at times, and lacks an identity. I just don't see them playing with the ferocity you expect from a playoff team.
-

I do have goals for the team though:
-winning record, 9-7
-Defense finishing Top 5
-Special Teams cracking the Top 10 -
What the hell hast the last decade of mediocrity done to some of you guys?
Seriously, we've still got a mathematical chance to get into the playoffs. Did the Jets deserve to coast into the playoffs last year? No. But they went in and made the most of their opportunity.
I'm pessimistic myself, but no reason to poo poo on everyone elses parade just because misery loves company. -

He said , if you want to win your division , you can't lose twice to a team....
Somewhat obvious perhaps , but love the mindset , we need to be able to beat NE and the Yets , at least once before we can fathom being a real contender. -
You need all of the Colts, Chargers, and Raiders to finish 10-6?
-
BTW my goal for Henne has not changed:
19 Td's 3,000 yds passing. -

Padre, As you know, I am not a bandwagon fan. The Brown's loss drained me of any playoff chance. We were ever so close with that game, and the Pitt call. It just did not happen. I REALLY believe that miracles can happen, and it would take one to be in the playoffs. Realistically, I cannot see it happening.
A thread like this existed last week before the Browns game. Of course it was assumed the Phins would win that game and look what happened. The team is done this year.
You really see the Jets losing 5 straight? And Baltimore finishing 1-3?
