What a win - i was fistpumping in my living room at the end.

However - we must be realistic and remember that the 2nd half qas one of the most pathetic defensive performances that I have ever seen. And it is worth remembering that the passing game struggled and Franks (despite a godly kick) is still highly unreliable

We may have squeeked into the playoffs tonight - but if we want to be competitive - Gase ( a god among men) has a lot of work ahead of him
 
:lol: 10-5...I'd say that's a LOT better than anything we've seen in quite a while from the Phins. Yes, there's always room to get better and there's some holes, but other than the Pats and maybe the Cowboys, what team doesn't? Feels great to know this team can get better while finding ways to win at all costs at home or on the road!

No matter what happens or who's playing Qb, this team isn't going to be a pushover come playoff time.
 
The record is great.

The play on d today after half time? That **** will get you blown out by the browns if you arent careful
 
u are right but dude we havent hit 10 wins in 8 long years. Enjoy today. Its been a while

Quite right. But i dont want to see us get utterly blown out in my first playoff game. Getting there is all very well, but I want to actually do something in the playoffs.
 
We're playing with dealer money. Overachieving and in position tlo make the playoffs. We are not good enough to win it all and thats ok, fantastic year, we found our coach, and draft a bit, get some free agents and start fresh in 2017. Oh, and maybe we'll have a 2016 playoff game to watch...cheers

If the d plays like that in the playoffs we will be blown out by 20 points. If you are happy to just make the playoffs no matter how we play then fair enough, but I am interested in more than just showing up

I love Gase as coach. He has done an amazing job this season. Deserves coach of the year imo.

Having said that one of the areas he needs to improve is his game-management. The way the end of OT was handled was in need of improvement. For Miami to not run the clock down to :04 or so and then kick a FG showed a weakness in game-management. A tie and Broncos loss tomorrow would also clinch a playoff spot. For the team to be so confused and then leave time on the clock if missed FG leads me to wonder why so many coaches don't have common sense.
 
I think the difference in the winning streak is just making those crucial plays. Miami is winning close and ugly at times, but I'll sure take that over losing ugly.

Absolutely, were weren't supposed to make it this far....forget 10-5 or even making the playoffs. I don't expect us to go far in the playoffs, we will probably get pummeled by a good team, but it's ok....we got something to build on and that is exciting (it's been a long time since this team has been exciting)

Yeah, that kick should have been the difference between a win and a tie. You plan to make the 27 yarder. But if they managed the clock right, if disaster strikes the Bills have 10 seconds rather than 50...
 
If the D Line can pressure the QB it will take pressure off of the DB's. In the playoffs this is a must! Also Ajayi has to be fresh and rested for the playoffs to open up our passing game. Time to sack the QB with reckless abandon, that would be our only hope come playoff time. Flacco had the blueprint to beat us, quick dink and dunks relegating the D-Line useless. Have to come up with a plan to overcome that.

Really? Just enjoy it. Jesus. 8yrs last time we sniffed the Playoffs and you go negative vibe. We all know we have more holes than Augusta on U.S Open weekend. Just enjoy the ride. Moore isn't the answer but it it what it is, LB unit isn't worth jack (Alonzo except) etc etc. Just sit back....enjoy the moment going into Christmas....Playoffs....i know its a foreign word there days but it sounds great. Happy Crimbo!
 
As I said in another thread, who's defense is really killing it right now.

I can only think of the Ravens.

Cowboys defense, no.
Pats defense, no.
Falcons defense, no.
Etc.....

This was a division game, which will always be tough (see the Giants vs. Philly game).

Only the Pats seem to consistently blow out their division rivals.
