We make the playoffs by winning out. We need some help, but holy cow we have a chance to make the playoffs!

Don’t look now, Miami Dolphins one game out of 7th seed

The Miami Dolphins road to the post season was near impossible only a few weeks ago. Riding a six game winning streak has changed all that. It is a matter ...

Good article.

Winning out is by itself an apex level challenge. We'll see on the rest.

Honestly, New Orleans is the team I'm most worried about.

I can see us getting our defense shredded through gameplan rather than talent. I dont really trust our staff to out coach theirs.

I'm not particularly worried about the Titans or NE, though neither is a gimme.
 
New Orleans on Monday night, in their house, where they just beat TB and are 7-7 as well and in the playoff race....is going to take a monumental effort. No room for errors.

And I don't want to hear any "pfft, *this poor that logic* about how bad NO is and we can do *this or that*" from our fanbase this week.

The coaching scares me also. Last season, our defense played amazing football by being very aggressive. They brought back most of our player's yet decided to change playcalling to be more conservative. It took them 8 games (7 losses before they decided to switch back to what worked last year). For some reason which I am still mad about even though we won the game, they decided to switch back to defensive play calling from our losing streak! WTF?? Thank god they switched back at halftime.

They beat TB on the road...
 
After starting the season at 1-7, there is a real possibility of us making the playoffs (I know people have been saying it for a few weeks now, but before yesterday, our chances were very small. We still need help, but our chances have increased greatly! GO PHINS!

It sounds like the perfect test to see if we belong in the playoffs of not.

The only thing I can say to that, is it's a division game and those can always be a bit extra competitive.

That said, it's still impressive, they still worry me most of what's left.

They should worry us. Their coaching staff has proved more adept at having their team ready scheme wise. We need Flores to put on whatever music he was listening to the week before the Ravens. I have images in my mind of Phillips and Ogbah being one step off Hill when he lets the bal go a lot like Wilson was doing to us yesterday. We know we probably aren't going to be able to rush much so the punter's going to get a lot of work in. They'll give up the dump passes and force Tua to beat them deep.

I think the idea yesterday was to only show Wilson the real defense for 2 quarters. They felt he could limit him enough first half, attack him in the second and not give him halftime to adjust.

I actually posted I hoped that was their plan at halftime of the game, and either it was or it was just a coincidental adjustment.
