The Jets still have an outside shot at the playoffs despite losing their past two games to drop to 8-7. They need to win Sunday and (bear with us) Cincinnati, Tennessee and Denver or Oakland must lose.
Of course, the Dolphins (5-10) could simplify matters by beating the Jets in the season finale at Sun Life Stadium, which would be a nice treat for the fans who endured Miami's 0-7 start this season.
But the Dolphins might be significantly short-handed. Left tackle Jake Long, who left Saturday's loss to New England because of a right arm injury, has a torn biceps, according to ESPN, and likely won't play Sunday.
Long, the No. 1 overall draft pick in 2008, has suffered a series of injuries the past two seasons. He has hurt both knees (one of which required him to begin 2011 training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list); had shoulder surgery in January; and missed the first game of his career Dec. 18 because of a lower back injury.
Missing that game, against Buffalo, snapped his streak of 61 consecutive starts. He returned to the lineup Saturday but lasted less than a quarter.
The Dolphins also lost cornerback Vontae Davis to an elbow injury in the second half and played without tight end Anthony Fasano, still recovering from a concussion.
The Jets' playoff hopes aren't the only thing at stake Sunday. So is the Dolphins' draft positioning.
As of Sunday afternoon, the Dolphins held the No. 8 pick, behind several quarterback-needy teams - Indianapolis (first), Cleveland (fourth) and Washington (seventh) - but ahead of Kansas City (11th) and Seattle (14th).
With a win, the Dolphins likely would pick in the Nos. 8-10 range. With a loss, they could jump as high as No. 5 but likely would be in the Nos. 6-8 range.

even if they beat us (which they wont), they still wont make the playoffs, and if they do the football gods hate me and love ****
 
I really want to see a strong game out of Matt Moore to show that he really has grasped the playbook and is capable of winning the important games. We are getting a tough Jets team, and they are going to be giving their absolute all. I want to see Moore in a position to prove if hes capable of being a franchise guy. I dont want to see a defense collapse where people blame him for stupid ****.

I guess I'd be okay with a dominant running attack where Moore doesn't have to do much, I'd live with not being able to see if he's got it til next year :D

What makes you think this? We are a 1 pm game, and the Jets will be playing for their playoff lives. They need help to get there, but they have to win first.
 
I wish we would have lost to some other teams so that we could afford to beat the Jets.

The bombastic tone of Rex Ryan has taken its toll. He has written checks their ***** cannot cash
Loss of confidence in Mark Sanchez
Lack of athleticism
Lack of character in the many douche bags on the roster...I think they suck Sunday

FYI, the Fins have played better than the Jets the second half of the year.
 
The Green Puke Cropdusters of Jersey are the worst franchise ever created by the NFL period JMHO. They choked by losing last week to the G-MEN. They are going to get pummeled by our Phins 27 - 10! Watch and see!!
 
The Jets luck over the last two years is about to run out. After we whip their azzes on Sunday, they will have a lot of decisions regarding an inept coaching staff and roster with underperforming players. I believe the Dolphins are in better shape then the Jets at the end of this season.
 
Shouldn't this thread title be "Jets can end Dolphins slim drafting a QB hopes?"

We beat the Jets, we are wrecked for this upcoming draft. As much as I hate the Jets, they aren't making the playoffs with 3 other teams needing wins for them to do so.

Wait...just realized Ireland is drafting for this team so we won't get a QB anyways, but rather useless line help. Beat the Jets, Dolphins. At least we fans will be happy for one game.

The main reason while i believe we are in better shape than them going into the offseason is that they are tied to Sanchez and still believe he is their franchise qb. At least the dolphins FO have realized that Henne is not the answer and will hopefully look to address that position. Whie the dolphins have a chance to improve upon their qb play the jets are stuck with sanchez for the foreseeable future and unless they are all world at every other position on the field they will continue to be a non factor with Sanchez as their starting qb.
 
its going to be a war. jets are fighting for thread like chances of making the playoffs. the dolphins have a lot of guys that will be free agents next year so this will be their final shot of leaving a lasting impression to future suitors.

We can win or lose the game and still end up drafting number 8. Chances are we won't go higher then 7 or lower then 9 so I would hardly say winning the game would wreck our plans for the upcoming draft.
