Before you laugh at this, let me explain:

In the past several seasons in the NFL, the Wild Card teams are usually the ones who get hot at the right time and march toward the Super Bowl. Go back to Pittsburgh in 2006, beating the Seahawks as the No. 6 seed in the playoffs.

2 years ago, the Giants were a Wild Card team and beat the 'unbeatable' Packers in the 2nd round, and went on to beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl.

This is not an uncommon trend. Miami has been blown out in only one game this year (MNF vs Saints), and have proven they have a team that can compete with anyone. It comes down to just closing it out. If 'Fins win 3 of next 4 and sneak into the playoffs as the #6 seed, do not be surprised if they make a similar run to the Super Bowl.

And for all who say Ryan Tannehill isn't ready yet---Ben Roethlisberger was in his 2nd year as a pro when he won that Super Bowl! As a #6 seeded team! Our defense has the potential to shut teams down, and if we can get ANY sort of running game or consistent offensive line going for the rest of the season....watch out. NO ONE will want to face the 'Fins in the playoffs. And we'll all be able to forget about the embarrassing loss to the Bucs, and the tumult of the Martin/Incognito scandal.

So...who agrees with me? Don't tell me this doesn't seem eerily similar to some teams' situations in the past. Believe in Miami!!
 
I Believe! ;-)
 
Nothing wrong with believing. Plausible scenario to see us win a game or two in the playoffs if we got there. We already beat the Colts in Indy and the Bengals. We play the pats tough. I don't think we would fair to well against denver, but who knows since we usually are competitive. And why not one or two more? For me it comes down to the pass rush and run defense. Those two things will make or break it. Have to hit wallace open also. It all starts with going into pittsburgh and ENDING their season, that will not be easy at all.

The problem is the problem, which is kind of an intangible ability that has no actual definition, which rears its ugly head for our team year after year. We are presented with a chance, and someone or something screws up and we blow it. We also get close to having the ideal scenario unfold, and it never happens. I will be rooting hard, call for the refs heads as I call cheating for the other team, rooting for all AFC threats to lose.. But as long as we play hard and win a couple more games, I will keep the faith that we may have direction, and could break through next year.
 
No...I am going to laugh at this! The thought of this team going to the Super Bowl would an affront to the game...
 
Lets just get past an extremely difficult game tomorrow first.
 
It can happen, as a possibility, but odds are not so favorable. As Fan for more than 3 decades I have never stop believing. In recent years NFL is a game of inches, where even a great team can bite the dust any given Sunday. Let's go Dolphins.

The current state and recent past weeks i would agree. But if they got there, it wouldn't be the team you know them to be right now.
 
I'm somehow believing we can get to the playoffs. But I see dominant teams out there and I have not seen one dominant performance from Miami. (I perhaps wrongfully do not include last week against the Jets)
Why? Because the Jets looked like the worst ever and I tend to throw that out. Sure anything can happen. Hopefully anything happens in 19 hours!

It is a free country, and you have every right to laugh. If it happens, you're also free to not watch that particular affront to the game.
