Playoff Paths (Yeah, Yeah, I don't care. I want playoffs :p)

[mandal24]

We do actually still control our own destiny. win out and we're in. (10-7)

Jets are a dumpster fire, I trust Tua in a dome against a Texans team that has regressed, and the 49ers team are depleted, without McCaffrey and now his backup Mason. Aiyuk is out and Deebo is having a down year. Browns are ready for the offseason but Winston has them playing better.

Now...

**If we were to lose one game, for simplicity's sake, that loss must be to the 49ers. Losing to an AFC team just makes it that much harder (although not impossible)**

Basically, root against the the Colts, Broncos, and Ravens every week.

Ravens schedule is so-so (bye, @NYG, vs Pitt, @Hou, vs CLE)... if they go 1-3, we jump them at 9-8
Colts schedule is a joke but they are the type of team that could literally lose to anyone.
Broncos schedule is pretty brutal. If they lose to the Colts, they then they play @LAC, @Cinci (back to back away games), and finally vs KC

I hate that I do this every damn year hoping to just taste the postseason but 'tis the life of a Dolphin fan.

Go Fins!

We are not getting in. Off season time.

who do we lose to.. seriously? Jets are without Sauce/Mosley/Moses(RT)/Smith (LT)

Tua is built to play in a dome. I actually think we can win the Texans game. Win that game and everything changes.

49ers are a hot mess of injuries

Browns are just a hot mess.

Only 1 and a half cold games. Cleveland is no joke.

NYJ could be cold and nasty but could also be in the 40s.

Sure if we win out we probably make it but are we going to win out?

That sure is depressing.

I used to envy people that always see positive as I am the opposite but how could I be any other way with this team. We suck can’t block can’t run the ball. Can’t throw to wear a top two receivers can’t tackle. Did I miss anything?

The 9 Grier years, and the 5 Tua years.

What happier to sauce? He isn’t playing? Mosley too?

Chad P was a really good guy who just didn't have the physicality. Loved him as a QB. Still remember watching the clinching game in a bar in Boulder, CO. The good old days. Lol

Can't put on long underwear for cold games.

They do not control their own destiny, and winning out does not get them in without help.

The teams in front of them all of have paths to 11 or 12 wins, so winning out without help does nothing for this team.

For example, this keeps a 10-7 Dolphins team out of the playoffs.

Definitely need to win all games and with the way the offense has been playing it is possible they could win them all with a tiny bit of help from the defense and no special teams mess ups. I don't expect them to though as they just can't play complimentary football. I'm expecting at least 1 game where the offense forgets how to play football (either of the last 2 road games) and I'm expecting at least another 1 game if not more of the defense refusing to cover and tackle anyone (pick any of the road games for this).

I'm guessing they do enough to just barely miss out on the playoffs, I'm expecting them to finish 9-8 which saves both Grier's and McDaniel's jobs as they can point to a winning season with Tua missing 4 games. Not ideal.
