Still A SLIM Chance...Win Out!!

[Ryan1973]

If our Dolphins win out the remainder of our schedule and we see other outcomes, in other games (unfold to our favor), we STILL have a slim chance of getting into the playoffs this season (fat chance I know).

The following is an AI analysis...

All else equal (no specific help assumed): Around 20%. This accounts for baseline simulations where other teams play out average outcomes, but Miami's tiebreakers (e.g., conference record, head-to-head losses to teams like the Bills and Ravens) and the strength of the AFC make it an uphill battle.

With favorable help: Up to 54% or higher. This scenario requires specific losses by key rivals, such as: Jaguars losing to the Titans (Week 13) and Jets (Week 15) to cap Jacksonville at 9-8.

Bills losing to the Patriots (Week 15) to finish no better than 10-7, where Miami could edge them on tiebreakers.

Chargers losing to the Eagles (Week 14) and other wild-card hopefuls stumbling.
Texans and Colts faltering in the South race, potentially finishing 9-8 or worse.

Who's to know what can STILL happen even though our chances, right now, are slim?

Believe, my brothers...believe!!
GO DOLPHINS!!!

Stop living in La La Land! The Dolphins ain't winning out! I think they will end up around 6-11 or 7-10. I wouldn't even be surprised if they lost at the Jets next Sunday.

LFG. Anyone that doesn't want the Dolphins to go on a streak needs a fake fan badge. We can do the post season stuff later. Until then, Phins all the F-ing way up.

Just win babay!!!

Three more straight wins and we'll be at .500. It's possible for us to win the next three, right? I sure hope so!

If that happens, at least the season gets interesting. Cincinnati, with Burrow back, is a completely different team. Tampa Bay and New England look like losses, on paper, but you never know.

If Miami runs the table, no one would want to face them in the playoffs.

Some of us Dolfans are like cops who've been on the job for 30 or 40 years and some of us are like rookies fresh out of the police academy. You obviously just graduated from the academy and think you can save the world. Us veterans know that arresting one drug dealer won't even make a dent in the drug problem and we're just doing our job, biding our time until retirement with just a year or two to go, hoping not to be killed on the job. Maybe I watch too much TV?

I'd love to see the Fins win every time they play, but there ain't no way on God's Green Earth that this team is making the playoffs. So, let's please just stop with this bullsh!t.

As a fan, I certainly want my favorite team in the playoffs.

Having said that, I don't believe this McDolphins team is a playoff-caliber team.
I don't believe it is built for living on the road and winning against division-leading teams.

Winning out?
Well, that is a cool Cinderella story and all, but winning 6 in a row, including 3 on the road, going into December isn't really favorable for this team.

Other than Achane, there isn't one player on the team who inspires a Fins takeover.
The team has one superstar, unfortunately, as many on this forum have reminded us, "RBs don't win championships"... "They're a dime a dozen".

I will be cheering and rooting for a win each week. I'll be pissed if the team fails. I'll be back.

Never fails to amaze how some people worry about winning the offseason DURING THE ****ING SEASON!

AGREED!!! I want us to keep improving and run a traditional offense. We’ve got athletic linemen who can pull and block effectively, and the same goes for our tight ends and fullbacks. The Bears are running a very similar system with great success. Our running backs are true home‑run hitters, so I just want the gimmick plays eliminated.

LETS GO FINS!

Its been 8,703 days since we won a playoff game.

This season is a total loss, winning against the Jets and the Saints isnt interesting to anyone who wants to see this team be a contender.

Forgive us for trying to find a silver lining in such a familiar, throw away, disgusting season.

Been a fan since 79, schmucko…

Looking like a Super Bowl champion so far today

I dont see it

 

[sugar ray]

I love the optimism but unless achane carries the ball every single down the rest of the year??? There's NO chance based on our QB play. Tua looks lost. Despite a nice little run its been all Devon.

I will not.

You and your ilk are as rats jumping from a (admittedly) sinking ship. No one will sing songs of your demise, and the gates of Valhalla shall forevermore remain closed to you.
