If that happens then the season would go down as the biggest disappointment in my life. Anything less than a playoff win would be a total failure.

Absolutely not. Losing 4 of your last 5 games would mean we really made no progress.

We have to win the division or win a playoff game for the claim "we improved" to be defensible, and I think we need to do both for it to be a clear improvement. The Buffalo game for me is do-or-die. It's the kind of game we often lost in the past. Have to prove we're different by winning it, and I think we will.

Washed Chiefs vs Fraudphins is not going be the appealing game the NFL would have thought a few months ago

And no absolutely not

No.

Win a playoff game, that’s the mark to pass. Anything less has been done recently.

Ideally we win 2 more games. AFC East champs + a playoff win would be huge. Either or and a loss in the other is still progress. Lose the last 2 and just another overhyped Miami Dolphins team that falls short when it matters.

I posted this already but I'll say again. It's would be a colossal failure, and If I hear anyone on the staff say we had injuries Im willing to fly down and smack someone in the mouth. EVERY team has injuries, the fact that we don't have talented enough backups to play is the problem. Im over the NEXT year well get em crap.

We don't make serious progression this year and we could be faced with 2 more years of 10-7 / 9-8's and miss or consent for a wildcard.
We have a lot of decisions to make this offseason, we have many holes to plug, we have coaches who may not return which means a new system possibly. What I am saying is we have to do it this year which is what this team was built for, not 2 years from now. Clock is ticking and we don't seem to have the answers.

I'm FinsUp all day for life. Win or lose, it's been a fun season and that's all I can ask for. Topics like this are stupid because all it does is generate negativity. I'm grateful that I don't thrive off of the misery of others like some people do.

It's a simple question and wow it's a football site where opinions are encouraged.

It’s also a site where others love to exploit the pain others are feeling.

I.am.not exploiting anything just asking a question.
I was at the game today and it was a great experience at the stadium and the fans were cool but the team and coaching flat out sucked!

I don’t know about that or it being malicious. I think many Dolphins are just tired of being let down or being one of the least effective organizations over the last 20 years.

It would be a huge failure. You don't have the season we had, the excitement we had, the talent we have ... and then blow a big divisional lead, end up playing on the road round 1 and bowing out in a weak loss. Because any weak 1 playoff loss would be a weak loss. It would almost feel like a step back from last year and not leave me optimistic for next season.

As a fan I'm at a low point right now. As a team, they just need to put the mess behind them and rise up and win. The Bills aren't invincible. They are hot, but also mentally wearing down from playing on the razor's edge every week.

Beat Buffalo, win a playoff game and I won’t be terribly disappointed. The only way I’d be happy is with a Super Bowl win.

We all know you were at the game today. You let us know many times.

If we lose to Buffalo and lose the playoff game, it's a complete failure and we are stuck in mediocrity again. We'll then have to do another rebuild in 2025.

I wouldn't say we're stuck in mediocrity. Mediocrity has been what the Dolphins were stuck in from 2005-2019.

We've had 4 consecutive winning seasons. Been a minute since we've had that.
This is our second consecutive year of going to the playoffs. Been a minute since we've seen that.

If we are one and out in the playoffs, it's still not mediocrity. It's a hump that we as an organization need to figure out how to get over.

I just don't want the Dolphins to become the Cincinnati Bengals circa Marvin Lewis era. Great regular seasons, make it to the playoffs only to consistently lose in the wild card games.

We NEED next week's game and NEED the Wild Card game in Miami.

The Buffalo game has been flexed to Sunday night, btw. The other two games that matter to Buffalo were moved to Saturday: Colts/Texans, Steelers/Ravens.

It was brutal loss. Here's hoping they bounce back. I have a feeling they will.

Colts/Texans doesn't actually matter to Buffalo as the winner is in no matter what. Its the Jags (losing) that matters to them.

Yeah, that's totally what he's doing.
