Crazy to say, but thisgame vs Buffalo is a must win game for the Fins, for all sorts of reasons.
First, the standings are giong to be severly stacked against us if we lose.
The Pats are getting better. They withstood their injury decimation and now seem primed to break out, esp once Gronkowski gets back.
Imagine the fanbase if we lose to Buffalo and their P/S QB. The wheels will have come off and it would be a brutal time to be associated with this team.
The good news is for the Fins...all we need to do is win our games, one at a time.

I wouldn't necessarily say a "must win", but it would make life easier. The fan base will def. be in uproar if they came down hear and beat us. If the o-line can show they are rested and ready to push forward, we'll be good. Plus this will be what, the second game we'll be actually favored to win...

Well don't look for Mike Wallace being a big part of the game plan since he didn't whine about not getting the ball this past week...
That said we should win, so long as:
1- Offensive Line =/= Turnstiles at Disney World
2- Receivers Hands =/= Rocks
3- Run game =/= Lamar Miller getting 10 or fewer carries
4- Defense =/= a recovery ward -

The only place the fan base shows up is in these forums it seems.
I will be there this week,hope we have a crowd to support the team! -

I think this is a must win game for Buffalo. A very important game for Miami.

I happen to agree but I`m sure you`ll catch some heat by some posters here who only sense a "must-win" as a game that knocks you out of the playoffs. We`ve been down this road before so prepare yourself.
Coming off a bye-week, at home, against a divisional opponent who seems somewhat competitive but average at best with QB issues,...YES, its a must win for many reasons. And, I`ll be somewhat concerned if we need late game heroics to pull this one out. We should win this game convincingly. -

Of course its a must win. It's a home divisional game after the bye week and we're coming off 2 losses. And the team that's coming in is starting yet another random QB. A true playoff team shouldn't lose this kind of game. Yes they have a good run game and their D will dominate our O-Line (like every other team has), but it doesn't matter.
No a loss wouldn't totally end any wild card playoff hopes (though put a little dent in them), but it would kiss the already slim chance at the division goodbye most likely. -

Since we're splitting hairs a bit here, I see this as a "need to win" game as opposed to a "must win" game. Must win, to me, signifies you have no other alternatives left.

Maybe not a Must Win game, but a very important game just the same. A great deal has been said about us being through the toughest part of our schedule, what does it say if we lose to one of the weakest teams and the first team in the soft part of our schedule? What does it say that we lose two straight games at home, so much for home field advantage? What does it say us losing our first division game? We have had a horrible stretch for our Offensive Line, will they be able to eliminate sacks or at least reduce them after having a bye week to address problems? Will this be a breakout game for our running backs, or will they even have an impact. Saying that this is not a must win game is just ignoring the obvious, and that is that it is a very important game regardless how you look at it.
