I'm not sure I could of asked for more when it comes to our playoff path. Of course there is no easy path but I think both 1st and 2nd round games are very winable for this Dolphins team. Neiter team is a spread type team and both play a ugle type of football, they obviously have been effective but I don't think they are measurably better than Miami in any single area. On top of that Big Ben got injured today, even if he comes back the Steelers oline is pathetic.

I fear the Colts the most out of any of the teams we could have to face, for the obvious reasons. Let's hope the Broncos/Chargers sack up and run the other bracket.
 
If we get by the Ravens, we can definately beat the Steelers. IMHO the Ravens are as good or better than anyone in the AFC. Plus, we dont know how well Roethlischoker will be with that concussion. He holds the ball a LONG time already.
 
I think we can beat the Ravens . . . but the STeelers in Pittsburgh is scary to think about . . . oh well, one game at a time.
 
So if we beat baltimore we would play the Steelers? wow. The thought of that stinks.
 
I think I would rather play the Ravens and then the Steelers if we go on, over playing a team like the Colts....I also am happy we don't have to play the Pats which we would have had the Ravens lost to the Jags. Those teams seemed to be the hottest, but the Pats are done. If we just play a smart 60 minutes and don't turn it over I think we can beat anyone.
 
I think any game is winable. We tend to play up to the team we are playing.
 
On Any Given Sunday, etc., etc., etc. One game at a time. We just need to look at our next game against the Ravens.
 
Today was just about a Super Bowl game to me. We are truly entering the post season- it is a new season. Anything can happen. Pennington is accurate enough, having Jake Long giving him a couple of extra seconds is why he’s having his best season ever. We can hang with any team out there now. This season was not a fluke, folks. Last season was!!!

Disagree. The Ravens are a hot team right now.
Ravens have one the more physical teams in the league.
The Ravens dominated us in the trenches like no other team has. We were thoroughly dominated on both sides of the line of scrimmage.
Don't let the score 27-10 fool you. We were never really in that game after the 1st quarter.
We went toe to toe with the Pats up until the meltdown in the 4th quarter and the Cardinals hit us with big plays early in the game. But, no other team physicaly dominated us like the Ravens.
You guys are making way to much out of the "spread formation". Playoff games are won in the trenches and with tough defense.

I dunno, Pittsburgh plays intimidating defense . . . and I just have a couple of images of them playing in the cold and in the snow this year at their house, and they looked real tuff. I mean its going to be a tuff game, a game I honestly think we could be double digit dogs.

IMO our best Path would be:

Home vs. Bmore
Road vs. Pitt
Home vs. San Diego

Part of me would rather face the Titans on the road for the AFC Championship game. The Chargers are on fire right now and if they can make it that far, watch out. If we can jump out to a 14 or 10-0 lead against the Titans, we've got the game.
 
Im not that worried about the Baltimore game because it will be a rookie QB on the road in the playoffs and we have certainly been a much better team since we played Baltimore earlier in the year..
