:sidelol: Sorry, couldn't resist.

 

Sub .500 teams at midseason really don't have much room to discuss playoffs, we have to win 2 games in 5 days, Carolina knows they have to win as well to keep any hope alive for the playoffs.

WE win the next two, then we can think about playoffs.

 

win out this month .... then we can look at it ....

 

Well with 9-7 we could get a playoff spot, if Texans and Chargers drops dramatically.. otherwise, we have no chance...

 

The schedule is favorable, but no way they go 7-1, as it will probably take 10 wins to get a wildcard spot this year.

 

id rather us go 7-9 or 8-8 with promise, and a good spot in the draft. then inch into the playoffs and get beat by the chargers or patriots

 

:jump:

You must be kidding Sick?

Come on man, back to back playoff appearances with the third or 4th youngest roster in the NFL? And the youngest roster in the playoffs?

And above all, I'd love to see "AFC Champions 2009" banner hanging next to the 2008 one at the top of ThePhins.

 

Worst. Post. Ever.

 

Well the picture has way too many variables right now to think playoffs or not. If we can win our next two games the picture would certainly look much better.

But most of the remaining games become must win. I think the rematch against the pats might end up being the biggest factor if we win our next three.

 

True people are so funny they want to go to the playoff and get beaten again on the first game,Never will understand some people thinking.

 

Your kidding right?We do not have a receiver that would start on 95% of the teams in the league.
How have we done against teams that are going to the playoffs this year?2009 AFC CHAMPIONS, can I have what you are smoking.
That being said,2010 with the right free agent signings and draft we compete for the title.

 

why would i be kidding? that was always the problem of the 90s dolphins and early 00' dolphins.....we were good enough to have a good record or go to the playoffs, but not good enough to win a superbowl......and not bad enough to get a good draft spot and get neccessary pieces.

no way we win the afc championship game this year. thats ridiculous imo

what do you want? a homer post......cliche? "dolphins are number 1....we will win the superbowl" ?? is that it?

fact is....i have been alive sense 1987....i have never seen us in a superbowl....let alone....last time we won a superbowl....my dad was 8.

we need more to win a superbowl. we need more to go to the playoffs. if we somehow got into the playoffs....we wouldnt go far. we'd be on the road. against a better team. and it would get ugly. and what does that do? nothing. just like the patriots 18-1 team.....they didnt win the big one....and thats ALL THAT MATTERS.

id rather get a good spot in the draft and keep rebuilding (we are still rebuilding)

 

No, what sank us in the early 2000's was Wanny's love affair with Felder and trading two #1 picks for Ricky W as well as taking Fletcher over Brees and Moore over Boldin.

Then Wanny promptly ran us into Cap Purgatory and gave away OGun.

Winning is always better Sick, with this FO we can find the pieces, and after the crap storm that was the phins between 2004-2007 winning is always better.

 

winning the superbowl is the only goal.

do you think we can win the superbowl with this team? honestly?

if no. then having a good season and getting a good draft pick imo is better than going into the playoffs and losing out on spikes or a good WR

 

Just lose baby?

That is absurd, whether the Wr corps is good or not, the idea is to:

I'd much prefer to be AFC champs than to spend another 7 months between seasons, assuming there is no strike, as winners.

 

It helps to have a core of players who are ya know...good and stuff in winning that SB, this team has to learn how to win, and we won't be as bad as the Cards and stockpile impact players with high draft choices year after year.

Who knows? A poor 9-7 Cardinals team made the SB and had a lead going into the last minute of the game, you tell me.

Draft picks flame out all the time, Dolphins fans of all people should know that and realize it is better to win now, find players via superior evaluations, than to be crappy and have low draft picks.

 

Phins can do it ONLY if they can eliminate the big play.

 

padre the cardinals have what the dolphins dont.....a vaunted passing attack....and they can score on any play

 

I don't know what's more promising than making the playoffs. Even if you do lose. If they make it this year I don't foresee another one and done because it's a much tougher road. If they get in there will be no doubt this time they deserve to be there.

 

hows it a tougher road? we started 3-4 last year also.....

 

Because we played the two teams that are the best candidates to be in the SB from the AFC tough and could have won those games?

The Colts and Pats have excellent chances of being in the AFC championship game, if this season plays out how I think it will, we will be playing the 4th team with the best chance to make the SB to end the season and more than likely for a playoff spot.

We finish the year with the Steelers.

The last contender we have not played is Bengals if we make the playoffs this year, there will be no backing into them, we will have won outright playing the toughest schedule in the NFL heading into the season.

And THAT is why JP is riding the pine, 8 games to go, we win the next two, 6 games and more than likely our destiney in our hands.

Or have you forgotten the win over the colts when Lamar Smith ran it for the GW TD? Get in the playoffs anything can happen brotha.

 

The remaining schedule is tougher. The Pats were really the only above average team we faced last year during that stretch. This year we have a better Pats team, the Steelers, and the Texans just for starters. We won't make the postseason by accident. The soft teams remaining can help put us back in the hunt but to make the grade we'd have to beat some of those teams.

 

and the eventual nfc champion cardinals.....

 

I said during the stretch that put us in the postseason. The 9-1 stretch after the 2-4 start.

 

gotcha.

 

fact is....i have been alive sense 1987....i have never seen us in a superbowl....let alone....last time we won a superbowl....my dad was 8.[/B

Way to make a woman feel old Chris. :wink2:

 

I prefer making the playoffs even if you get knocked out in the Wild Card round.

To me the bump from the confidence of making the playoffs outweighs a maybe 5 spot higher draft ranking in the first round. Plus good drafting teams don't even need those extra spots. Think of what the Pats, Colts, Eagles, and Steelers do every year picking in the mid 20s to early 30s every year. Its all about finding players and having good scouts...God knows this team has had high draft picks that turn out to be complete duds.

Imagine as fans our confidence had the Fins missed the playoffs last year by say losing that last game to the Jets and then imagine what it does to the players. You always want to go out on the highest point possible but only one team gets to win the Super Bowl so the further you go the better. I say a season in terms of confidence goes: three games or more under .500, two games under .500, at .500, then over .500 but miss playoffs, then playoffs, advancing in playoffs, Super Bowl, Super Bowl champs.

Also for FA and otherwise you being able to say we are a playoff team has to go a long way.

So I'm playoffs all the way. :up:

 

Come on their sandbaggin. Draft choice and a easy schedule next year.

Sick humor huh?:tongue2:

Id like to see them stand up and fight.

 

i didnt say to lose on purpose. i said if we are gunna win 2 more games and lose in the playoffs and not win a superbowl anyways....id rather have a higher draft spot

 

i don't know what I want :lol:

i want to have a good season and playoff appearances, but i'd also like a super bowl ring (preferably within the next couple of years).

so it's tough..

I just wanna win dammit is that too much to ask?

 

We are 3-5 right now. The play off talk should at least wait until we are over .500.:wink2:

 

Which I am hoping the Bills will be a provider of. :wink2:

 

I don't believe that drafting depends as much on your draft spot as it does on scouting well. I do think you face a handicap if you draft in the top 10 b/c of the current salary structure, but after that I don't see a huge difference between drafting 15th and drafting 25th. I certainly wouldn't hop to miss the playoffs so I could move up a few picks.

 

That's what I've always thought, it doesn't matter where you pick... it's how you use those picks.

 

People said stuff like that a lot last year too. :up:

 

always nice to make the playoffs
however
as long as they progress & play to win
this is year two ...

the Tampa Bay game may be just what the doctor ordered @ this point in the juncture
it's time to run the table, can't miss a shot

 

Brother I think this year there is more uncertainty.:wink2:

 

It will definitely be a tough road.
