This team has a different feel than years past... The best adjective I can think of to describe them is resilient. HUGE win yesterday to get back to .500. It wasn't pretty, but in this league it's going to be all the time. For the first time in a long time when the Jets took the lead late I had confidence we'd respond...

This four game stretch is crucial. I say we need to come away with a 3-1 record. To make the playoffs in this league you have to win on the road. The Chargers are a huge test, Tannehill and the passing game have to show up. My question to you my friends - have you bought in?
 
Starting to buy in, cautiously. Hard not to. These team is very capable to win the next 4. We seem to do well against SD usually. Rams, 49ers are very beatable. Ravens are always tough for us. #-1 is very doable.
 
San Diego on the road is tough. LA and SF are games we should have a good shot at Ws. Not sure about Baltimore on the road...definitely possible, though their physical play has owned us recently. We are a different team in terms of physicality though.

I believe we are trending right and have a good shot at long term success. Not sure if that translates to 3-1 over the next month...
 
I think we go 2-2 in this stretch. The Charger offense will blast our D. Not sure if we have the horses to keep up with them in their house.

I think the Dolphins win the Rams and 49ers games.
 
The team has too many holes on defense and QB to buy in completely. Is it encouraging? Absolutely. Miami has beat 3 bad/mediocre teams in a row...which is what a decent team should do. Just enjoy the ride because I don't see this as sustainable.
 
Gase is going to have to make me like him and this team. The past month has been a step in the right direction for that.
 
I don't think the Steelers are bad/mediocre. With Roethleisbeger healthy they're a 10-11 win team.
 
I've bought into the direction the coaching staff is trying to take this team, I just haven't bought into that idea that this team can fully execute that gameplan. They will need several positions to overachieve to maintain success.

So San Diego, LA, SF, and Baltimore aren't also bad/mediocre? I don't understand that sequential logic.

The Steelers were considered a Super Bowl contender and a very good team coming into that game. Bills were playing great football, winning 4 straight before we stopped their streak. Come again?
 
They took advantage of a six-week homestand.
Win on the road, that's what playoff contenders do.
If they're 6-5 going into December, maybe, maybe, I may believe. But they have to clean up the dumb penalties. The Jets outdumbed the Dolphins yesterday. Yes, they are heading in the right direction but there's too many holes (DB, S, LB, TE) that will eventually catch up with them.

I'm starting to get excited as well. Team has weaknesses, but the strengths are playing well.

The running game has been so critical and having success there against the Jets was a big test. Not sure the defense can hold up, but should have Howard coming back so that should help the secondary.

Yes they are. But not even the best teams win every single game...Or win against inferior opponents. Miami is due for a let down.
