As i type this there is 3 teams in the AFC East that are 1-1 and the 4th team is on the way to 1-1 as they are losing 20-10 with 8 minutes in the 3rd quarter.
Does this change anyones realistic hopes for the season?
As long as we don't fall 3 games back from the lead I would have to say I have hope!
If we keep playing the way we have been playing, minus the 2-5 minutes of improbable non-sense, I think we have a chance, specially with our schedule!

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. The Raiders are a pretty bad team and had to come east and play in hot weather and the Dolphins still showed some big holes. I thought the doom and gloom of last week was overstated, but let's let this team win a few before we start talking about the playoffs.
-
Way to early for me to even consider entertaining that hope.
-
definitely, but you have to love the chance so far. we could easily be 0-2 with no half time adjustments and behind 2 teams that could be 2-0. just saying, things are in our favor with a long way to go.
-
-
I don't think so. If we ever get into a shoot out we wont win. Not enough weapons out wide.
-
I know you are being scarcastic, even my optimism would never utter those words. realistically i see hope for a wild card spot in the playoffs. If we win the division I would be shocked and very happy!

Had to do it:

my phone won't let me watch the video but i assume its either the herm edwards or jim morra "playoffs!" video. am i right? lol

We'll see, the Jest will be a great test for us, they will run blitz and pretty much force THill to make some plays.
If he can do that, then we can think a playoff run, but still, a bit dubious here/ -
I will try to remember to bring this thread back to the top every week and see if it is any more or less dubious! lol
-
I hear ya buddy! I will only mention that once we get our foot in the door in the playoffs. There's actual reason for hope since we finally used a first round pick on a QB since i was born! Next year we will be much better off because we are already in great position next off-season!

NO STOP even dreaming at this point. Lets just hope Tannehill continues to get better.. Thats our victory this year.

Well the things in our favor would be:
A) A laughable schedule
B) No team in our division is very good. Save me on the Patriots talk....minus Brady their roster is worse than ours by far.seabass0795 likes this. -
It's official! We are either in a 4 way tie for first or a 4 way tie for 4th! lol. Playoff hopes are equal for fans of all 4 teams.
-
That's all I am saying. With that being said, would you agree there is hope for the playoffs?
-
I think there is hope in the sense that if Tannehill keeps improving we have a legitimate chance to win most if not all of our games, and I don't see anyone else running away with it.
Remember we didn't think we had a shot in 2008 and I honestly believe this team is far better than that team was talent wise. -
I am always going to hope for the playoffs and as many wins as possible but there are some moral victories here as well that I actually have put in front of winning for a chance.
For me it's more important that Ryan Tannehill continues to prove that he belongs in the NFL as a franchise QB. It's more important that some of these young guys and young vets continue to improve and establish themselves moving forward. I'll take wins and I will certainly take playoffs if we can get there but I don't think we can know much until the 3/4 point of the season. At that point If Tannehill is still standing, Bush is still healthy and our defense is still playing at a high level we can talk playoffs. Right now though it's just one game at a time. -

jboogie The sky is NOT falling!
One week at a time
Week 3:
Pats @ Ravens
Jest @ Dolphins
Bills @ Browns
I think those will 3 great games, Browns are no joke this year. -
looks like the pats will lose again, If we take care of the Jets, us and the Bills might be leading the division and I am not worried about the Bills. How crazy would that be?
-
I like the way you think. Sole possession of first place would be sweeeeeet!
-
I enjoyed the today's game. Can't say much but say "Just enjoy this season, playoff or no playoff." But I doubt the Dolphins are going to the playoffs.
-
The odds are in our favor if all the home teams win!
-
jboogie The sky is NOT falling!
You know what got me the most exited today, A rally late in the game. How may games would we have won last year if we scored 14 points in the 4th quarter?
-
Yes sir, that plus the half time changes shows us all the value of a better coach!jboogie likes this.

Just come in this thread next week. I will have no problem saying there is no hope for the playoffs whenever that happens. I don't see why anyone has a problem admitting there is hope right now.
Guess what, even if we lose to the Jets and the Pats, and Bills lose, there is still hope!
I don't understand why anyone's view on our team defines their hope. Its not just our team that desides if our team makes the Playoffs. -
So we are tied for 2nd or tied for last with the Pats depending on how you want to look at it.
We are 1 game down from the Bills and Jets.
I will only truly be concerned if we fall back 3 games from the lead in our division.
We still have 5 division games to play catch up. Let's just hope we come out on top in our next 2 tough away games. Then we have some very winable games and some must win division games. -
big week in playoff hope! If the Pats beat the Bills, The 49ers beat the Jets and We beat the Cards.
The top 2 scenarios are likely, I just hope we can come up with a win in Arizona, it will be tough! It will be nice to see the AFC East all tied up though! -
On the other hand, If the Bills and Jets win, or even one of them win and we lose, I will admit this thread is hopeless, but I will keep bringing it up as long as there is hope. We could either be 2 games down, 1 game down, or all tied!
