The Jets hung with the Bills and should have beat the Patriots easily, this is by no means an easy game for the Dolphins if they can't stop the run.
exactly, playoff teams can't lose to the jetsIf we have any hope of making the playoffs we can't loose to the jets. We loose that one we have no business being in the playoffs
The defense, especially? Wut?Looking like we need to beat the Jets, Bengals, Cheaters, Raiders, either KC/Bills, for a WC...the privilege of going to KC and getting donkey-stomped out of the first round. Not a prayer.
This run defense especially, is not ready for primetime.
Ahh yea...If we have any hope of making the playoffs we can't loose to the jets. We loose that one we have no business being in the playoffs
For the playoffs we HAVE to win the next 2 then go 2-2 in the last four as long as one of the wins is the Raiders. ThatPlayoff-wise, I think Miami really needs to win the next two and head into the final stretch at 8-4. Of course, it's nice to be at this point in the season and talking playoffs. I don't think too many of us thought that would happen and very few "experts" had the Dolphins in playoff contention.
But let's not lose sight of what is really important for this year. It continues to be the development of the players, the effort etc. The only game so far where I didn't like the effort was the offense versus Denver. It looked like the Dolphins were sleepwalking in that one. The defense wasn't great, but made enough big plays to give Miami a chance to win. The lesson there is that Miami isn't good enough to just show up and win. And, there are obviously holes on offense.
I think in our case it has to include a win over the Raiders, unless Buffalo or other teams fall apart. 10 wins with a loss to the Raiders is tough. I agree I see 8 or 9 wins.10 wins with a 7th playoff spot will certainly get you in. I don’t think we win 10 games though.
It’s much more likely we have a bad day offensively and give the Jets zillions of possessions and possibly short fields. This will allow them to pound old man Gore and keep the defense off balance. I’d say it’s unlikely they come out slinging it with Darnold and light us up. Need to play with a lead.Sam Darnold will be back and light us up I see it coming
