Rick has them losing the last three games. Two at home where Miami is damn near unstoppable.

Come on, Rick. 14-3 baby

 

Obviously they can win those games but it would be better if they didn't have to.

If you don't think they can then you have to think they are going 1 and done in the playoffs in which case winning the division means little.

 

Ok but you are still saying they can't beat one of the top teams even at home. So you are just hoping they get an easy matchup in the first week before getting shelled the next week? In a year when the AFC teams are far more flawed than expected?

 

I think we will beat 2 of 3 of the last games and I actually expect to win all three. Dang if I'm gonna chicken out and suggest we're going to lose a month ahead of the games. I'm cool with being honest about my assessments and I applaud OP for expressing his doubts. But I'm glad that's not me expecting to lose. LOL.

 

Seems like yesterday that the schedule was released and we were deemed to have the 2nd-toughest slate in the league.

Life comes at you fast, dunnit?

 

Then why can't they beat Dallas who has beat as many winning teams as Miami?

 

Every game on the schedule should scare you. Any given Sunday we can lose. We haven’t looked dominating in these last two games out of the bye, Phillips injury and Hill getting banged up isn’t going g to help.

I do t think we win 4 in a row here, I do think it will come down to the last game at home against buffalo for the division.

we make the playoffs one way or anyother but we need to win the division and get a bye week honestly to have a shot.

 

Yes. Fun fact. Dallas hasn't beaten an over .500 team either.

 

I feel pretty confident that we win the next three games, and we'll beat the Bills at home.

Past that, however, we're talking playoffs and the two must-win games I see are Baltimore and Dallas. I get that they won't be easy, but going into the playoffs we have to be able to beat good teams...or what's the point of making the playoffs?!? It's time we beat the good teams as well with an all-around effort.

My "goal" for the team is to finish the season 6-0. If we lose one or two, so be it, but now is the time to find our stride and start beating the top teams as well. We will face Baltimore and KC in the playoffs, so every game matters.

 

I just checked my copy of Bullsh** For Dummies and it said that by rule, that game will have to be declared a tie.

 

Playing Dallas at home is a very winnable game. Dallas plays well at home and on the road against the dregs of the NFC East, other than that they're very ordinary. If McD can tone down the dumb play-calling it should be a fairly easy win.

 

Bills will be eliminated from playoff contention with two games to go.

 

I mean, we just scored 34 points against one of the best defenses in the league, and we held them to a single offensive TD. We held KC to two offensive TD's and shut them out in the 2nd half, then we did the same thing last week. The D is playing much better than earlier this year (Ramsey finally playing, team gelling) and it will make a big difference.

Also, we're still the top scoring team in the league, have the most yards, etc. So where aren't we playing as well? The D is much better, the O is still moving the ball.

 

the jets scored a td last game.

 

It was the second quarter when they scored

 

But they've scored a TD since week 8 right? One could say the only offensive TD the Jets scored today was garbage time too.

 

It was definitely garbage time today. They had like 50 yards of offense until the 4th quarter. D played great. Offense was the issue with the turnovers, questionable play calling and tua's indecisiveness.

 

have gou watched baltimore this year?

 

itsa team gme we are absolutely playing better on defense and trending up

currently 6th ranked D in the Nfl.

 

Oh my God! OP is the most negative dude on this forum.

 

That's really saying something!

 

None of these games are out of reach. The Cowboys and Ravens are both GOOD, yes. But it's not like we some auto-loss here. Playing at home is a big deal against both Dallas and Buffalo. Neither will be pushovers, but we should be favored.

The Ravens will be interesting. Lamar feasts on the NFC but has struggled against the AFC, and it's not like we didn't beat them last year on the road. I wouldn't favor us to win, but it's still absolutely within reason to have us come out victorious.

That said, we should go 3-0 because the teams we are playing are hot garbage.

 

Commanders fired Jack Del Rio. They might get that fired coach bump at home.

 

Garbage time is the second quarter?

 

I’m not sure what game you’re referring to, because the Bills vs Jets was very similar to this Dolphins vs Jets game and it definitely wasn’t a worse slaughter. And a 2nd quarter TD while down 2 scores isn’t garbage time by any means.

 

That’s a lot of words, topic changes, and claiming I said things I didn’t just because you’re wrong.

My point was, a 2nd quarter TD isn’t garbage time like you claimed. Then you claimed that somehow a 5 point difference with less yards, and pretty much everything being equal is somehow a “worse slaughter”. By all objective stats the games were pretty much equal. Claiming that the Bills somehow did better in a 32-6 win vs a 34-13 makes no sense. I mean, yeah, Allen played better in that game than Tua, but the Dolphins defense played better than the Bills defense. The Dolphins rushed for more yards than the Bills and gave up less rushing yards. Each defense gave up the same amount of points. The Dolphins actually did give up a TD in garbage time so I guess we can’t count that and just say the Dolphins D shut out the Bills, right? So the Dolphins actually won 34-6, which is a “worse slaughter” right? Or can only you use that excuse? The Dolphins actually out gained the Bills in total yards. The Dolphins defense allowed less rushing and passing yards than the Bills defense.

Also, why is Dallas a “good team” and the Dolphins aren’t? Dallas has yet to beat an above .500 team and lost to the Cards.
