2 very winnable games??? If the next 2 teams do their homework and watch the NE and Ravens game, we are in trouble my friend.

Really, not that I don't think the Cardinals can beat us, but that O-line is awful and Palmer can't move more then a few inches in any direction and even that takes some time.
Every one of these remaining games scares me. Just going to wait to see how they come out and play against the Cardinals. Divisional games are always tough especially away games. The Dolphins are 2-4 on the road this year, the back to back west coast wins were impressive but those are their only road wins of the season. Playing the Bills & Jets in their buildings are going to test this Dolphins team as much as any game this season. The Dolphins haven't swept the Bills since '11 and haven't swept the Jets since '09. The Dolphins have played the Patriots well in Miami but it's still the Patriots. I think the Dolphins can certainly win any of these remaining games but I am not counting on it. 4-0 would be miraculous, 3-1 would be amazing, 2-2 would be a pretty impressive feat. If they do get to 9-5 then we will at least have some excitement and hope for the playoffs.

Driven to Therapy
Preach. They dont get it.
Our Oline was hot and Ajayi turned into a monster.
Parker decided to be the pick he was supposed to be.
Please somebody tell me what this coaching staff has done to win football games. Please. Im dying to know.
Will somebody please drive him to therapy?

Both the Ravens and NE Spread us out, used multiple 4 and 5 WR sets, it really highlighted our weakness at DB and our passrush didnt show up yesterday. whatevs!

Coaching Staff decided to go to Ajayi only.
Coaching Staff decided to RUN the ball and allow Ryan to gt confidence.
Coaching Staff put fire under both Ajayi AND Parker
Coaching Staff has been putting Maxwell and other DB's in great positions to succeed and look like capable DB's

The goal is simple and it shouldn't be any different than it has been all season. One game at a time and the sole focus of the team right now should be on beating Arizona. If we lose this game then I have very little faith that we can win another game the rest of the way.
Make defensive adjustments and stop David Johnson/ Fitz, hit Palmer a ton, get back to our dominant run game, allow Tannehill to play in a multi dimensional offense where he can succeed again, beat the ****in Cardinals and keep the playoff hope alive
Thanks.

We need 2 wins, maybe 3 to reach the playoffs. Fortunately the AFC West are beating one another up, so hopefully one of those 3 teams misses the playoffs. But, we lose tiebreakers to the Titans and Ravens (in eerily similar blowout games), so if we only win 2 more, we need to have some luck too.
Arizona is a must-win IMHO. When we lost to the Titans, we bounced back, and we need a similar bounce back performance this week. _IF_ we beat Arizona and go to 8-5, we have a chance.
Beating the Jets in New York in mid December is no picnic, but it is doable, and the Jets may have given up by then. Away to Buffalo in late December ... that's going to be our hardest game, and I'd say we need grit, testosterone and luck to win that one. Both of those games are against hot-and-cold QB's. Then, we will face Tom Brady who will likely not have sewed up home field advantage ... which is a tough game.
We are going to learn something about our younger players. The Ajayi, Parker, Howard, Lippett and Tunsil types will either prove to be warriors in the mold of Cam Wake ... or fair-weather paycheck collectors in the mold of Tedd Ginn Jr. I'm sure Gase will make it clear which is required of them.
