----- What's our chances of winning 10 games?

I'm gonna go with 8-8.. I think we'll win two more. SF and KC.

 

I voted 40%.

With G. Cam out and Long hurt (even if he does play he'll be hurt) it doesn't look any better for us than it did.

Can we do it? Yeah, sure. Will we? mmm, I don't know.

Buffalo can play if they want to. That atogwe guy for the rams is amazing. Flowers doesn't look so bad for KC. Frank Gore is all I need to say about SF (Singletary would be my next statement).

And the jets? Unfortunately there's a lot I could say about them that I won't

 

Another 4 game winning streak would be sweet

 

I can see three with KC, Rams and 49ers. The Bills game is possible, The Jet game could go either way, they could be fighting for the division and the 2 seed, or they could have both clinched by than, so who knows?

I will say 3 with a good shot at 4

 

I think we have a good chance to win 4 games. The Jets game if they play everyone, I think will be very tough to win the way they are playing now.

 

im just taking one week at a time.

 

Where is the choice for 0%?
If we go 9-7 I will think we wildly overachieved this season.

 

betting man says 8-8


I still have hope though for 10-6

Unfortunately we need to 11-5 to make the playoffs


Who would have thought we would be playing for something in December

 

the wildcard here is week 17. if the jets are 12-3 by then, i dont see them keeping the starters in if they have their seed locked up

 

houston and ravens game looming awful large now. we blew it big time in those games. you win those type of games so you can afford to drop the ones like the pats games

 

I'd rather win a division game than a conference game.

 

you missed the point bro. the prior two games were more winnable games. games that you actually expect to win. you dont expect to sweep the pats, but if you do, its all good. you expect to beat the texans and a ravens team with a rookie qb

 

That choice isn't there because that would mean it's impossible. It obviously is not. The next four games are very winnable. Just like the ones from the last winning streak. Somehow they pulled that off yet now they have no chance? I fail to see the logic in that.

 

I don't see how we can't win the next 4. We get beat by elite run defenders (Balt-4th and Jets 3rd in the NFL in defending the run) and teams with elite receivers (Hou-A.Johnson, Ari-Boldin/Fitzgerald, NE-R.Moss).

Do the Bills, Chiefs, 49ers and Rams have any of those? Against the run they are ranked respectively in the NFL 20, 31, 14 and 30. Their top receivers are Lee Evans, Dwayne Bowe and old Issac Bruce and Torry Holt. None right now I would consider elite.

The Dolphins are ranked 15th in the NFL in rushing, 8th in passing, and 9th in run defense. I don't know even as Fin fans why some are so pessimistic.

 

With 4 of 5 games on the road, and losing one of our most consistent WRs, I think that 4 games would be a pretty difficult task. I handicap our odds at 40%; KC, San Francisco, St. Louis, and Buffalo are all "winnable" games. The Jets game is going to be extremely difficult, unless they are resting their starters. I just don't see us taking all the "winnable" games. Kansas City is at home in Arrowhead in December, San Francisco has been playing much better as of late, St. Louis will be starting a QB that we discarded, and Buffalo will be playing for their lives when we meet again. Factor in that we have not blown out teams that we should (i.e. Seattle, Oakland), and I think it's safe to bet we'll drop one of those games.

 

Yes but we have also gone into Denver in high altitude and beat the snot out of them. Miami is built to play December football now. I will be extremely disappointed if we didn't see the planned power running game everyone was raving about in pre-season. None of the next 4 teams are good against the run. Pennington is efficient and our defense is one of the top teams against the run.

 

I put 20% when in actuality I think it is more like 40%.

Football's bounce a funny way when dropped and it could go to 10 games, I just think we have already seen some of those funny bounces go our way this season.

That being said, I am estatic to what this team has already accomplished, and proud as I hear about it pretty much everyday.

 

Oh ye of little faith......
We will win out.
This was a bitter loss for the team. I watched the interviews and everyone was p******d. I believe we play above our heads and out of our minds from here on out.
We're actually going to be fighting for a playoff spot when we line up against the Jets.

 

I think the odds are pretty good we finish 10-6. But it doesn't matter cuz that won't get this team a playoff spot.
They needed a win Sunday and the defense choked.

 

No, you're incorrect. The question is our OPINION of their chance to go 10-6, not the statistical probability of it. IMHO, the chance is 0%.

 

Nice comeback Rick,

I'll be waiting for some kind of comeback

 

The way I see it - they make their own luck. They need to keep their heads in the game with tough, smart, disciplined football. They can't go out there losing their heads again or they'll lose. They must stay within themselves.

I would be thrilled if they go 10-6 but if they miss the playoffs it'll still leave a bitter taste. They must also beat both the Bills and Jets now.

 

You guys realize how much yesterday took out of the players on that team? My theory to why the team (the defense) fell apart emotionally in the fourth quarter was because they were drained bone dry physically. The end result: physically and emtionally drained. The winner in a game like that comes out with confidence and swagger, the loser comes out drained and defeated.

Classic case of sapping every last bit of energy out of the loser in a dog fight like that. I do know that a veteran team who has somewhat of a pedigree of winning can get over a loss like that pretty quick. Not there yet IMO although the STL game will speak volumes.. I don't care what STL's record is. If Miam can whip these guys, on the road, after the war that went on yesterday, I will be damn impressed.

 

Don't know how you can say that. The Colts have been eking out wins much the same way we have.

 

Yeah I know, but take heart. They've still got to play Jax as well as the Titans one more time.
Kind of like our two toughest remaining games are against division rivals
..it ain't over yet, brother.

 

I think 9-7 is very reachable....to win ten we would likely have to beat either the Bills or the Jets....I think we can win 4 out of the last 5 and go 10-6.

 

I think we are 10-5 going into the Jets game.

 

Follow the pattern:

Week 1 : Loss

Week 2: Loss

Week 3: Win

Week 4: Bye

Week 5: Win

Week 6: Loss

Week 7: Loss

Week 8: Win

Week 9: Win

Week 10: Win

Week 11: Win

Week 12: Loss

Now, if the pattern holds, we'll lose this week and either win two in a row or four in a row after that, but take note that our losses have come in pairs. Coincidence, maybe, but definately interesting. So, while ten wins is possible, I find it highly unlikely.

 

I went 60%. I think there are three games we SHOULD win. If the team comes in focused. Then out of the Bills and Jets I think we win one, probably against Buffalo.

 

I voted 40 but as much as i think about it i really cant put a percentage on it. I mean we'll have to see after this week, if we bounce back than there is a very good chance. If not then i have no idea. Its gunna be a tougher strech than most people think. But ik we're capable of pulling through.

 

This is where we might not make the playoffs. If NE beats Buff their division record will be 4-2. MIA is currently at 2-2. MIA MUST beat Bills AND Jets to tie on division record and only then MIA MAY have a chance based on common games.

 

9-7, but 8-8 wouldn't surprise me. 10-6 would. The Jets game is the loss that I'm sold on, although it is winnable. I also think we lose @ KC and / or @ STL. I don't know why. Regardless of our finish, I'll be happy with our season.

 

I don't doubt for a second that the Jets will play all their starters even if they have clinched. Anyone watch the Rams game? They had it locked up in the 2nd quarter and still kept everyone in and kept throwing the ball deep as well. Stupid, yes. Out of the realm of the stupidity of the Jets? No.

 

The Jets very well may play thier starters all game in the final week. I also think that its entirely possible Brett sits some, maybe most our game against them. The last thing they need is something stupid to happed during thier slim window of opportunity with Brett.

 

The Jets will play their starters the final week, especially if Miami is still in the wild card race and Tennessee & Pittsburgh are ahead. Because losing to Miami would only force the Jets to face Miami again the following week in the wild card. Even if their spot is secure for a bye or something like that, I'm sure they'd like to keep as many divisional teams out of the playoffs as possible. Any team would.

With a secured spot that can't improve, they'd sit their starters against a team out of playoff contention. Not against a Miami team still alive; same thing would be stated about New England or Buffalo.
