11. Miami Dolphins (7-6) (Last week: 13) (at Titans). Will the Dolphins make the playoffs? Based on the remaining schedule, they're already there.

Man...I don't get this comment!

"Based on the remaining schedule, they're already there."?????

What schedule? The Dolphins? The Patriots? The Ravens?

If this fool meant the Dolphins' schedule...WOW! None of the three games ahead of us make me feel like "we're already there."

LET'S PLAY SOME BALL! LET'S PLAY SOME BALL!

Im guessing he meant because they all have a losing record....still no gimme's...

I think it means it's a tough schedule, so it's already playoff time for us.

Yeah, that's what the guy meant...

7-0 to a SuperBowl victory!?!?!?!

That makes more sense...

It means that every game they now have is a must win like a playoff game.

Exactly. Actually, its been like being in the playoffs all year long. Ironically, one of our only losses came against a team that wasn't any good (Buffalo).

At least we're playing meaningful football in December. I'd like it to be that way in January too.

Dumb comment.

-Titans have been on fire
-Dolphins have never beat the Texans
-Steelers are defending champs I don't care who they've lost to.

It has nothing to do with a tough schedule and everything to do with us having to win out to have a realistic shot at the playoffs. Are you guys native speakers of English or not?

so the quality of opponents has no baring on our chances to win out? semantics are a god awful thing to argue, especially on this site...

#14 is hilarious about Plexico... too funny

Si. If we lose any games we are likely out of the playoffs. Therefore, we are already in the playoffs.
