I'm sitting here, still depressed about the Dolphins, when I ge the thought: "so we're 0-2.....can we still make the playoffs?"

now, i know we physically CAN make the playoffs cus its still early

but if u took out ur bias as a dolphin fan, would you be willing to bet on the dolphins making the playoffs?

do we have what it takes?
 
I'm hopeful, but if I were a betting man, I wouldn't lay much money down on the Fins playing past week 17.
 
I have to admit that I was sort of depressed about being 0-2 and was already thinking about how we were going to make the playoffs with such a bad start. Then I remembered the 3-7 record last year that ended up being 9-7 just missing the playoffs. It brought my hopes up a bit to think that it's still early and anything can happen. Hopefully this next game brings our confidence up a bit by demolishing the titans.

Have to agree, don't see us making it without VAST and possibly insurmountable improvements on O-line, QB and Secondary. I think thats too much to expect to mend up and also management does not seem to be discussing it much and are making no moves. I just don't know, I had GREAT expectations before the start of the season but after seeing them play....reality is setting in.
 
I don't know if we'll make the playoffs but I think we win the next two games. It all depends on if our team will step up to the challenge. I think we got enough talent to make the playoffs. The Dolphins are one of the great paper champions in the NFL. I'm just waiting for the real thing. Hopefully that can be this year.
 
if the o-line blocks for Culpepper and Ronnie and the offense doesn't give up on the run than yeah we can. I still feel we beat Buffalo if we keep with the run

And timmy wins the thread. You gotta do it with the nasally whiny tone, makes all the difference.

Paper champions....:sidelol: Good stuff. At least in years past, we could use a Moniker that was bestowed on Reggie Jackson; Mr October.

Used to be I'd say that if the season ended at Thanksgiving, the Fins would be a dynasty.

Under JJ and Wanny, we were making the playoffs regularly and getting whacked each year. Wannstedt figured out how to make the horrible playoff losses stop. We stopped going to the playoffs. NS appearently wants that trend to continue.
 
This is not meant personally to thread starter here.:wink: We as fans need to stop crying, whining, and writing the season off, and suck it up like the players, and get behind this team through thick, and thin! Come on Dolphin Fans we can get this turned around!:ffic:
 
Alot of games left, we can still make the playoffs. But, let's take it 1 game at a time.
 
Its A Long Season

Still 14 games left. Lets definately take it one game at a time. For those who dont want to do that then lets look at it this way.

1) As we saw last year things can definately get turned around. In order to make the playoffs though we have to do that earlier than we did last year. Like Saban said in his press conference on monday, people have to change the way they decide to do things and they will when they want to. No one can make them. Hopefully these guys will do this earlier this year and treat this game like the Cleveland debacle.

2) Looking at it realistically, winning home division games is a must. In order to get that game back the phins will have to win a game in the division that was "supposed" to be a loss; namely beating N.E on the road. Losing to the Steelers was a game you don't count on and if you win that its a steal.

3) So now lets examine the schedule....
The phins had 4 road games that most considered at the start to be 50/50 or worse possibility of winning Pitt,N.E.,Chicago and Indy(However we own them up there). And really only 2 tough home games N.E and Jax. So looking at that you figure we should win 10 and any win in those other 6 is a plus. So in order to make up for that buffalo loss we need to steal that Patriots game and sweep them since it was a divisional loss to the bills. And if you think about it if someone told you at the start that we would be 5-1 in the division you would rather have that loss to the bills than pats for the reason its more possible to need the tiebreak vs N.E.

None of this matters of course unless we start playing right, but in believing in Saban and the phins I will assume we get it right and win the next 2. That makes us 2-2 and in a HUGE game at New England. If the phins ever pull that off we suddenly are right back in it and actually better off than being 3-2 with losses to Pitt and NE. We would be 3-2 with losses to Pitt and Buffalo. SO DONT GIVE UP YET. And dont forget the Jets will be scrappy all year and playing a 3rd road game in a row is always a tough task so if the phins pull this scenerio off they arent out of the woods. If they do though and beat the Jets then look for the phins to be 5-2 going into the bye and in great shape because even the Titans should be able to beat the Packers at home. GOOOOOO PHINS!!!!!!!
