With the win today and losses by the Jets and Pats means we now control what happens to us once again. We control our on fate. And really that is all i can ask for. BTW with Indy aND bALT winning we really are going to need to win the division. hopefully we can!!!
Go fins!!!!!!
 
ya the division is even closer now, we have to win out though i think we can do it though
 
Unfortunately we dont control our own fate... we need lots of help from the rest of our division, Indy and Baltimore... If we keep winning, and the Jets, Indy and Baltimore keep winning, we do not make the playoffs, therefore, we need lots of help
 
If we win out we win the division. Jets can win all the games they'd like from here on out as long as we win all our games including the showdown in New York then the division is ours.

I see Baltimore falling apart. They have three hard games left on their schedule and I really don't see them winning any of them.
 
It looks good this week.. If it looks again next week with NE and the Jets losing.. then I might turn my head back to the dolphins. oh and the Fins have to pull out another W.
 
Yeah, I was reading in another thread that we control our own destiny. I decided to check it out, and it's true. Assuming we win out, the Pats win out, and the Jets win out (except against us in week 17 of course) that would put all three teams at 11-5.

The first tie-breaker when three teams are tied is head to head. Each team would hold a 2-2 record.

The second tie-breaker is division record, and again each team would hold the same record, 4-2.

The third tie-breaker is record in common games. By my calculations, the teams have 10 opponents in common (sea, sf, sd, oak, arz, kc, buf(2), stl, and den). Assuming all teams win the remaining games (again excluding the Jets in week 17 vs us) I have each team with the following record: Miami- 9-1, NYJ- 7-3, and NE- 9-1. This would eliminate the Jets from winning the AFC East.

To determine who wins the division title, Miami and New England now follow the two team tie-breaker rules. The order is the same as the three team tie-breaker.

Head to Head: 1-1 -- same

Division record: same at 4-2 a piece

Common games record: same at 9-1 a piece

Conference record: Mia- 8-4 NE- 7-5


With that, the Miami Dolphins would be AFC East Champions.

Actually, now that the Jets wouldn't be included in the tie-breaker, they would be a common game. Still, each team would be tied with a 10-2 common games record.
 
Hey at least WE are in control and it is is DEC freakin 1st!!!!!!!!!!This is great!!!!!! I know winning these last 4 is going to be touh but we can do it!!! Go fins TAKE BACK THE EAST!
 
Week to week, baby, game by game. It's nice to have a stomach clenched in knots again as I watch games as opposed to a liver drowned in scotch.
 
Next week starts the downfall of the Ravens, they may lose the next 3 or 4 games!!!

Jets will lose another!!!!
 
I know the Colts had some pretty significant blows to their defense yesterday, don't know how bad the injuries are but several starters went down
