This Sunday has the most significant playoff implications of the year!

If the Ravens beat the Redskins Sunday Night, say bye bye to the Wildcard (we would need them to lose their final three games to Dallas, Pitt, and Jax- eh it COULD happen but highly unlikely)

Colts are taking one wild card

If the Fins lose to the Bills we are OUT.. we would need a complete meltdown from the Pats, Jets and Bills so this is the most important Sunday for Dolphin fans in quite some time

I am keeping the faith alive if we win our remaining games because Baltimore has a somewhat tough schedule hopefully lose to Washington and i can see them losing to Pittsburgh and Dallas.

It's just great for this team & the FANS that they even have a chance. I am so proud of the Dolphins this year. Let's face it...Miami still needs plenty of players to compete with the top teams.

This team is growing each week. The scouts are looking to fill more of our weak links next season in the draft. Miami is starting to believe they can win, that is a HUGE STEP for a team that went 1-15 a year ago...

I think Miami ends up 10-6 and left out of the playoffs for the 2nd time with a 10-6 record. I think the Pats too will end up 10-6 & out of the playoffs.

We gotta win out

Actually if we lose this crucial division game . . . that Jets game probably will mean nothing . . . even if we beat San Fran and KC and the Jets. . . a third loss in the division we just CANNOT afford.

The OP is right . . . this week is a huge week for the Fins playoff hopes . . . if we lose this game . . . we just became big Bills fans . . . as they would need to beat the Pats and Jets . . . which would also put them right back in the East picture.

If we lost this is what we would need:

We would obviously have to win out and go 10-6 (3-3 division)

Buffalo would then have to also beat the Pats and Jets . . . but lose @ Denver . . they would be 9-7 (3-3 divison) . . . even if Bills beat Denver . . . We still own tiebreak as they would have lost to Arizona and San Fran . . . we only lost to Arizona. (Common opponents tiebreak). U actually hope Buffalo wins all 4 in this scenario . . . because beating Denver would secure the #3 seed in the playoffs.

The Pats would have to lose to Buffalo in week 17 and go 10-6 (3 -3 divison) or 2 losses and go 9-7 (4-2 division)

The Jets would have to lose to Buffalo and Miami and go 10-6 (3 -3 divison) or The Jets would have to lose 3 of 4 . . . with one of the losses being against Miami.

See what I mean . . . we pretty much would need Buffalo to run the table and we would have to run the table if we lost this weekend.

As far as wildcard goes . . . it really doesn't have much of an effect (Wildcard is slim already). We still would need to win out and we still would need Baltimore/Indy to lose 3 more games (just like we do now). That means the Jets would win the division at 11-5 (loss to us) and the Pats would need to lose 2 more times or once against Buffalo. Or the Jets lose 3 times (one has to be against Miami) and the Pats win out winning the division at 11-5 and we get WC at 10-6.


Miami . . . please win this crucial divisional game . . . make it easy for us die hard fans.
