Playoffs Scenarios

So with the Ravens loss tonight, it looks like we're down to a couple of possible scenarios...

Division:
1.) We win out, Patriots lose out.

Wild-Card:
2.) We win out, Giants beat Colts tomorrow, (EDIT: Falcons also need to beat Panthers tomorrow) and in week 17...
Browns beat Ravens
Colts beat Titans
Ravens won... Not sure how Falcons beating Panthers helps the Fins... ??
 
I desperately want to be playing meaningful football over the next two weeks, but when your best hopes rely on an insane amount of help and/or New England losing 4 games straight, with the final 2 at home against a 5-9 Bills and a 4-10 Jets, well...
 
So if we go 9 and 7 and no playoffs which probably is going to happen. It will be our first coach since wanny to have two winning seasons in his tenure? Is that correct? Wow. We had some bad coaches. Philbin , Cameron , the whole parcells regime. Actually we had some bad teams as well.

A lot of people say we been mediocre for 25 years but I really feel like it started when Ricky quit. 2004. We just never been the same. What is that? 14 seasons? I been a fan since 83. I never thought Miami was mediocre or a joke till after 2004. 14 ****ing seasons basically of misery except for 2008 and 2016.

My wife is like why do you root for them. I tell her it wasn’t always like this. I am beyond frustrated.

I know we would get crushed in playoffs and posters make fun of us who hold onto hope. But the real reason is because I am not use to this crap. It’s sucks always missing playoffs now when it was a regular thing when I was growing up.

Growing up Miami was not good from 86-89 but usually we made playoffs other years! I would bitch about losing in playoffs. I wasn’t around for the super bowl teams in 70s.

Now I just miss being a playoff team. Beyond frustrated with football and the dolphins. This sucks

Anyone have similar thought process?
 
If these 2 stupid Saturday games would've been played tomorrow I'd still be going into wk 16 with some hope. Now everything is meaningless. I hate everything. I'm so sick and tired of it all

Exactly how I feel. Ugh.
 
Congrats to the ravens. Let them play the patriots in the wildcard or postseason.

That’s all I ask.

I want the best teams in the postseason and Miami doesn’t belong in that tourney.
 
Ryan Tannehill might think so
Yeah because he didnt know what teams were in the AFC.

This reminds me of my old dog. I was playing golf with my buddies and one of them reminded me of something I said on my radio show back in vegas in the 80s... Something about people who couldnt adjust doors correctly and then started a business selling bar stools. Anyways, long story short, sounds like my old senile dog is still posting on FH...
 
Two separate paths to the playoffs. Both require Miami to win out.

Path 1

New England loses at home to both Buffalo and New York.

If that happens we win the East. Not likely to happen, but if Brady goes down to an injury, it's very possible.

Path 2

The following must happen in Week 16 in order remain alive:

Indianapolis MUST LOSE to New York (Giants)

That's it for Week 16. If Indi wins we're out.

We actually want Pittsburg to beat New Orleans, but we're still alive even if the Steelers lose to New Orleans.


As long as Indianapolis loses to the Giants in week 16, then we remain alive.

Then for Week 17, we have two games (three if New Orleans beats Pittsburg) that we're dependant on:

Indianapolis MUST BEAT Tennessee.

If they lose to the Titans, we are eliminated.

Cleveland MUST BEAT Baltimore.

If they lose to Baltimore, we are eliminated.

And if New Orleans beats Pittsburgh in Week 16, then we'll need the above games to happen and we'll need Pittsburgh to BEAT Cincinatti. If Pittsburgh beats New Orleans in Week 16, this game will not matter.
 
Yep, stars have to align for the 6th seed... winning the AFC East seems like the best chance, as highly unlikely as it is.
 
Someone get a Tommy Brady voodoo doll. Sad thing is even if the Patriots crashed and burned, the Dolphins would still find a way to lose to either the Jags or Bills. Hell odds are Josh Allen will have 200 yards rushing next time vs Burke's defense.

2 things ends my season.

Miami eliminated
New England eliminated

As soon as NE is out I’m done. I put too much time into FB seasons and sometimes can’t wait until it’s over.
