Until last nite. That team is a complete mess. It would take a complete stink bomb from us for those games to be close in the 4th qtr. tannehill should have a field day carving up that secondary with the short passes. Their o line has been bad and Vick was pathetic last nite.

Last year they were playing for Rex's job that last game and were motivated to spoil our season. This year they know Rex is gone and they're just playing out the string.

Gonna come down to that ravens game
 
If you guys lose to us then you don't deserve to make the playoffs. I will be very surprised if we are even competitive. last night was as bad as it gets, I could understand getting blown out by a good team but Buffalo? we are the only team that can make Kyle Orton look like a good NFL QB.

I guess KC doesn't deserve to make the playoffs either. I don't know why it's so hard to understand that division games are tough. no matter who they are. Saying that, if Miami loses to the jets, it would mean they would have to win all the other remaining games to have a shot at the playoffs.
 
Somehow, the performance against the Bills will motivate the Jets. I don't think it will be a blowout. They must sweep the Jets and beat the Ravens and Vikings. After that, it's up to fate. If 10-6 isn't good enough, so be it. The team comes back next season with additional help on the OL, a big TE, and improvements at LB and CB. Maybe we get lucky and play two crap divisions like the AFC North this year....

Miami has the afc south and nfc east....so no luck there. lol only "easy" games are titans and jax. Washington/giants are middle of the road to bad I suppose.

I agree. They will do better.
I think we will prevail but pride will be on the line here.

The Jets game I am more concerned about is the last one in Miami

KC is in a different spot then you. they were not 6-5 they were 7-3 and had more of a safety net in the event of a bad loss. You guys are likely not beating NE in NE and it's a toss up w/ Bal. you will need to win the other games you are favored in which is us twice and I believe Minnesota. to expect to beat NE & Bal is not being realistic but I guess anything is possible.

there is zero excuse for KC losing to Oakland. you can try to spin it all you want. That's a game they should have won 10 out of 10 times this year.
 
lol @ safety net. there is no safety net in the nfl, unless you've already clinched and sitting your starters. you are something else. implying that because they had a safety net, means they somehow didn't try to win as much as they would have, had they been 6-4.

at 7-3 you can afford to lose a game- even a bad one, at 6-5 it's almost impossible to recover knowing you have NE and Bal on the sched.
 
I also feel like this is a different dolphin team. I actually trust them to show up every game. Jets are so bad that the only way we lose is if we don't show up and we've shown up and played relatively well every game for 2 months. Since the Oakland game.
 
Beating the Jets twice within a few weeks will be extremely tough, believe it. That being said we have to do it and more, if not, we are what we are.

how in the world is that going to change how they play? even if the chiefs were 10-0, they shouldn't have lost to the raiders. you make no sense.
