Dolphins: Will they make the playoffs?

I want the Dolphins to make the playoffs but the OP asked if they would. I just don’t believe they will go undefeated over the next 5 games and if they go 3-1, that will give them a 9-8 record. That will certainly be a great turnaround from 1-7 but I doubt it will be enough for them to make the playoffs.

I see closing 2-2 for an 8-9 record, or 7-2 in the final nine.

If Miami somehow finds a running game, that could change. Maybe Lindsey can make a difference and be a factor down the stretch.
 
9-8 The Jacksonville and Raider game really hurt.

What I want to see is consistent improvement from players and coaching staff. Everything else is gravy. In the offseason I want to see the front office prove their worth.
 
1 N.E going make playoff..
2.They might rest there guy week 18.. they might have home field or Bye lock up..

3.All depend on N.E..if they are wildcard and they want losed to mia to play them again in first rd.. that possibility..
4. Dolphins beat them..
5.if we get pass Tennessee we got chance..make playoff..
6. I am happy w result this yr..it better than we started out. If we make it we make it..good luck dolphins

Fins will finish 8-9. Lose to the Pats at home and on the road at Tennessee. Even though Tennessee has a ton of injuries this will be a must win for them and their defense is still pretty good. Fins had a good comeback beating a bunch of sorry teams to look respectable.
But the losses to the Falcons and Jags were the killers.

Titans D is junk. If Tua and company don't score more than 21, something is wrong.
 
if it comes down to week 17 us having to make the playoffs. If its between us and the Patriots we would HAVE to be PERFECT. the leagues narrative would not like us over the Pats in the playoffs. it would be every bullshit call, every missed penalty. I'm not giving up on hope until we are officially eliminated. but right now we are at 11%, we were at <1% 5 weeks ago. and i said back then, as long as there wasnt a 0% then i was holding out faith.

Pats next 2 are very losable, are next 2 are winnable. as long as that % keeps going up week by week then "cool"

Henry will likely be back for the Dolphin game but I wonder if he will get back to the Henry he was before his injury earlier this season.

His injury was a broken bone in his foot and those type injuries aren’t easy to overcome in just a few months. Yet if he is in the backfield when they play the Dolphins, he will have an impact in the game. The Dolphins will have to be more concerned with the run with Henry in the backfield than they would if his backup is playing.

Tannehill hasn’t played nearly as well without Henry in the lineup but he will be obviously be looking forward to playing against his former team and I suspect he will play very well in the game

I'm not sure if Henry will be back for the Fins game. They said 6 to 10 weeks originally. The Miami game would be 8 weeks. Hopefully they keep him out one more week at that point. If they need to win that game vs Miami then we may see him and that may be an issue. Even though he will be returning from a tough injury. And our defense has stepped it up lately especially vs the run.

Well.... I am under the assumption many of us are not following how everyone is trailing each other. In between 6-13 the top teams in that range are just ahead by a game.
I know that out of those teams in that list we are the only team that has yet to have a bye week . And the only team in that list outside of New England that has a winning streak over 1 game are no other than the Dolphins. If the Dolphins win all their games they have a high chance of going to the playoffs. I would rather not want to see us compete against the bills in a tie breaker.

If the Bills lose three games and if we win all of our games then they will win a tie breaker if we are tie with them. If the Patriots lose three in a row we will be in a tie breaker with them if we don't lose anymore games and we will beat them in the tie breaker. Now assuming this trends base on the picture below, it isn't unrealistic to think we can compete with the chargers and the bengals.

I agree brother Oz that 10-7 isn't enough to secure a spot, but that doesn't mean 10-7 won't win us a spot in the playoffs based on the playoff picture. Too many teams have been sucking brother.

That NE win last night might have ended our chances.....we will lose a tie breaker with Buffalo if it comes down to it.
 
We will most likely miss the playoffs. If we win out though the last couple weeks could be interesting watching other games for results...maybe we sneak in but my gut says no.
 
I think 10-7 will be enough to get them in, whether they actually do it is a different question.

The two road games are cause for concern.
