We win next 2..NE beats Jax..Pitt beats Balt

lmao we r not getting in did u forget about titans? they need to lose also

Like it matters. We'd get destroyed in the first round...AGAIN. We are not a playoff worthy team. Go ahead and question my fanhood, but we need the higher pick that not making the playoffs will give us.

no they don't according to this

We get in if we win out and Balt loses one of their last two games. SD would have to beat Tennessee.

Which I think can happen with Pittsburgh next week. Now its just if Miami can win out...which because they are at home I think they can.

Just to clarify this, Baltimore plays Oakland in week 17 so I'd say we need a loss next week by them against Pittsburgh. :yes:

Higher picks have little correlation to the player's success over the coarse of a few picks. I'll take every win and be happy about it.

I was wrong on the SD win. But if Jax beats NE, we could still win the division if Houston beats NE.

Okie dokie. While it's not a guarantee that a higher pick is going to be a stud, you have a better chance at getting a better player with a higher pick than with a lower pick.

If this team had showed anything to me that we could be competitive in the playoffs, I'd be hoping for the playoffs as well. However, all they have shown is that they will get destroyed. Watch teams like Dallas...they are on a complety different level than us.

People the Ravens are winning 14-0. If they win today we need the Steelers and the RAIDERS to beat them. It's a very very long shot.

Playoff experience for a young QB is more important than a 2 spot improvement in the draft order.

Based upon the way they are playing, that is not out of the realm of possibility. In any event, the AFC mess will not be sorted out until week 17.

IMO Miami is very much a playoff caliber team just like Tennessee. All of us should also remember Denver has not wrapped anything up yet.

Essentially if we beat Hou, Pitt. wins, NE wins (a win win game for Miami btw), and SD wins then the Miami-Pitt. game becomes the game that will determine a playoff spot.

We need considerable help but we will still be in it no matter what if we win out.

Nope, we would only need one of those to happen. We would have them on a conference tiebreaker if Pitt or Oak beat them. The Chicago game is meaningless.

BTW the Raiders are doing Miami a huge favor in Denver today and Oakland has been an AFC North killer so far this year.

If Oakland beats Denver, the outcome of possible scenarios turns into the same formula that college uses for it's ratings. :lol:

right they are! I'm watching it at the moment... its the only thing that's keeping me from jumping off a bridge... :shifty: We need to do a full playoff scenario knowing we still have a shot with Balt, NE or Denver...

That was the case before our conference loss today, right? So if they lose one of those, we'll both be at 5 conference losses.

We need so much help.

True but strength of victory/schedule would then give Miami the tiebreaker.

Also holy freaking crap the Bears are back in it.

I still don't get what people really expect from Miami at this point though. This team is overachieving mostly due to coaching at this point. Sure Miami has given games away but talent wise and injury wise this team shouldn't really be at say a Pittsburgh level which we are. This team has a rookie qb, rookie cbs, and we are missing several important players due to injury. I gave Miami 7 to 9 wins before this season as a healthy team and the fact they can do it with a depleted team is a good sign for the future. Miami is a team two years from a 1 win season and is still rebuilding. This team is doing great considering this team could have went the Cleveland or St. Louis way but have since turned it around. This is a good team that we should all be proud of but understand they are not yet Super Bowl caliber...but simply playoff caliber and two years after 1 win that is a great place to be.

come on bro? How can anyone still talk playoffs.. Although we arent "mathematically" eliminated, we eliminated ourselves when we lost to buffalo.. We arent a playoff team

Oh and something I failed to mention. Did anyone see what the freakin' Titans receivers did to us today? Andre Johnson might have 4,286 receiving yards on us next week.

Justin gage.. dude.. dont you know he is a hall of famer?
