Jan 1st @ Miami could be a huge game of magnificent ramifications.
Imagine the scenarios.....
Most likely, the Jets will have been battling for a WC birth to the playoffs. We very well could be 0-16.
Which way would you be rooting:
If the Jets win they are in the playoffs. If they lose they are sent home packing for the off season.
If we win....Indy wins the lottery for the #1 overall pick. If we lose....we win the pick based on the fact that Indy has won one game.
So...how would you be rooting?
Thats a tough one for me....I mean...winning the last game to keep from going winless AND boot the Jets from the playoffs....would be a pretty cool win. Getting Luck would be as well....

Lose. No chance in hell I'm missing out on Luck if we're that close.
You win the game, you're happy for a week. You lose the game, we're competing for championships for the next 15 years.electrolyte, dolfan32323 and Aqua4Ever04 like this. -

I think a more realistic scenario is Jets fans deciding whether they want to win a meaningless game against us, or prevent us from drafting #1.

Yeh....I cant root for the Jets to win. Cant do it. And I certainly....CERTAINLY cannot root for that Jets win to be against us. I think thats gotta cross some imaginary line of....first rule of Phins Club....never root for the Jets to beat your Phins.
Figure out a way to trade for Luck...but win that game.ChrisKo likes this. -

Suck for Luck is what I'd be rooting for. While I hate the Jets and everything they stand for, this is a franchise-defining moment. In a sense, by losing this one game, we'll be winning a heckuva lot more games for about a dozen years as a result. No brainer for me!

I think the SFL'ers are getting way ahead of themselves and setting up for major disappointment which only leads to more anger, resentment, and hatred.AbideN703 and BleedinGreenNC like this. -
I will be rooting for a gigantic sinkhole to swallow the entire stadium of suck this season is.

-I want us to get Luck, but not getting too excited just yet. Still have 11 to play, and I actually would not be shocked if somehow, based on pride, the team pulls out 5-6 wins this year. Not expecting more than 2-3 wins, but would not be shocked if they suddenly found a mini hot streak at some point.
-I'm not rooting for us to lose each week. Was still PO'd on Monday night, but after the game, when it was all done, I took heart that all this losing MAY ultimately pay off.
-If it does get to the last two games, and we really do have a shot, I may actually openly root for us to lose, for the singular purpose that it could make us an elite team w/in the next 2-3 years, and then for a decade after. Nothing is guaranteed, of course, but I like our odds if we can pull this off.
-That said, if we don't land the "once-in-a-generation" talent in Luck, our consolation prize in the form of Jones, Barkley, or even RGIII could ultimately make us just as successful. So, either way, whether we go 0-16, or even 6-10, we'll likely be in position to either directly draft, or trade up for a quality QB talent. -

Honestly, it's a moot point. No matter who Miami or NY fans root for, the outcome is completely unaffected. It makes ZERO difference on the outcome of the game. And realistically, with a playoff spot on the line and Miami at 0 or 1 win, the Jets will almost most certainly mop the floor with your team. You might get a spirited quarter or maybe even a half out of your team, but at the end of the day the better team that is playing for a playoff spot will win 90% of the time.
And for the people that say, "Ah, the Jets will lose in the playoff anyway" you never know what will happen once your are in. No one thought the Jets would knock off Manning and Brady on the road. Any Miami fan that says they thought they would is full of crap.Uncle Rico likes this. -

But I remember the 1992 season finale, Dolphins at Pats. Pats SUCKED at 2-13, we were 10-5, and were playing for a bye (maybe even the division, don't recall). I went to the game, figuring easy win. At the half, Pats lead 13-3, and the Pats fans back then were like, "hey, we've had our fun ... you can blow us out, now." We ended up winning in OT 16-13. Not apples to apples, exactly, but just sayn'. This game always sticks in my head as I was there. -

Guys Red Sox fans were rooting whole-heartedly for the YANKEES to beat a team so they could get into the play-offs at the end of this year.....am I fond of watching a season like this? Of course not....but if in the end the QB position is solved, I will watch it will a smile on my face.....only good things can happen, you get rid of the dead weight, poor preforming coaches get the axe, the culture changes, and oh yeah a possible future multi-season all-pro position player, comes to us with a nice little bow attached to him, in a position that is THE hardest to strike gold at......
Again to me no brainer....efff the Jets, I hope they make it in as a WC, and play road games so I can watch Sanchez get pounded, and watch Rex cry.......again...DolfanTom likes this. -
Let them get their kicks now, hope and change is in store. -
A Miami's fan dream is that a win in that final game doesn't mean squat as the #1 pick is your no matter what and the Jets are fighting for their playoff lives. Then you guys could root like hell to save some face and dance on the Jets grave. If I were you guys, that is the scenario I would be praying for :) -

If the 2011 Pats were playing in 1988, I can gurantee you they'd be about a .500 team, and Wes Welker wouldn't nearly be as valuable. Today, they are going to win the division with ease, and will be in play for much more. If Luck ends up being all they say he is, merely making the playoffs will be a starting point for the Dolphins each year.Rhody Phins Fan likes this. -
Its tough, but I'd be ok with the loss. here's why...
In your scenario, Luck is for sure in the draft, and we get to select him number one over all. So, I'd have to suffer a loss to the jets, so that we could essentially guarantee ourselves a QB capable of beating them twice a year for the next 15 or more seasons. Sounds like a win-win to me.finyank13 likes this. -
Seperate question for you: how are jets fans feeling about sanchez? Are they ready to give up on him? I'm worried that a team like the rams or panthers end up with the top pick and trade it to the jets. They are one of the few teams with the gonads to trade their entire draft plus some to get him. Bold bold move but they could do it. What you think? -
I will root for us to win every week, just like I always do.
