This loss was HUGE

[AEGBRG]

I know this was a non-conference game, but this was a huge loss. With how stong the AFC is this year, it is going to take at least 10 wins to get in. Looking at the schedule, with games still at Den, and at NE, the team now has zero margin for error. The team is going to have to win all their other remaining games to even have a chance. Possible, but unlikely. For those who want to pat the team on the back and have no problem with this loss, come back to me at the end of the season when the team just misses out on the playoffs -- again. The continued lethargic starts and inability to execute the 5 minute drill and close out games on offense and defense will likely doom this team. Not trying to be pessimistic, just a realist.

Probably the least huge loss we have had all year

You're right, have to go 5-2 from here, ugh.

But we don't have to wait long, a loss Thursday seals it

Please elaborate why.

No. Buffalo will be huge. It is our season even if we had won today.

Win Thursday, and hope you can steal one from Denver and NE and win all the games you're supposed to win. 10-6 might get you in the playoffs in the AFC, but you're likely at the mercy of a tiebreaker.

It's ok cuz we're "warriors" blah blah blah! And Philbin held his clipboard like a champion.

It was a tough loss, and one that shouldn't have happened, but seeing it was to an NFC team in week 10, it was hardly huge.

No. We would still be 6-4. Zero margin for error now. That was exactly the point of my post. We had this game and choked it away at the end.

Every loss is huge when your the dolphins

The way i see it, even ten wins wont get you in. We're going to need to get 11 wins, and that isn't happening

 

[AEGBRG]

For those of you downplaying this loss because it was vs. an NFC team, four words for you: Carolina game last season. We do not choke away that game, we make the playoffs last year. Nuff said.

Win buffalo and this isnt a big deal. We needed 2-2 from this stretch we can get that

Please elaborate why.

NFC loss, Greeen bay loss was more devastating and it was a home loss. KC and Buffalo losses were huge. If I need to explain that to you don't expect me to.

An NFC loss is still a LOSS. Please see my above post why. We got our butts kicked vs. Buf and KC. This game was chocked away.
