I believe it is. Conference game, division game this will be huge down the road. forget the Lions as much as that hurts its out of conference. Lets get a nice win Thursday night and move on.
 
It will be the most important game we will play so far, but there may be other more important games late in the season depending on how things play out. If we lose Thursday, our playoff chances are reduced to something like 0%.
 
Season is on the line. Lose...5-5 with a trip to Denver in which they go 5-6. The only talk thereafter is can the team survive and get to 9-7 and save various jobs.

I said it earlier in the week; it is amazing how things can turn on a team in the NFL and than may have happened to Miami. Crazy.
 
heck yes and its not even close.

if we lose thursday, say goodbye to the playoffs.

we would be 5-5, facing at denver, at nyj, vs bal, and at ne.

in that case, 2-2 would seem like the most realistic best case scenario, and even if we then won the final 2 games of the season, 9-7 would not get it done.

this thursday night should be a great game, because its not only the fins seasons on the line, but its the bills seasons as well.
 
Yes. I have been saying it for weeks now.

Thursday is the true test to see if this team is really any better. Well, basically to see if Tannehill is the goods or not. He has to be able to beat the Bills.

Our defense is every bit as good as last season, if not better. If we still can not beat the Buffalo Bills and whatever garbage QB they run out there, then we just do not have a good offense lead by our QB. It really is that simple.

If we are a better team than last season, we will beat the Bills at home. If we cant beat the Bills we are 5-5 and heading to Denver, staring down the barrel of 5-6 and yet another 7 or 8 win season.
 
I agree we need to beat the bills but you're already blaming Tanny if we lose?

If Tannehill throws the game winning TD pass to Landry instead of Clay (who dropped it), the Dolphins win the game yesterday & everyones saying Tanny is the goods.

i'm about done with Clay, if anyone on this team is a complete disappointment this year, it's him.
 
Tannehill runs for his life Thursday. The team has to come out in 12 Personnel and run the ball and be willing to punt it.

Tannehill has no security blanket TE to bail him out of a jam. Remember the chemistry of Tannehill and Keller before Keller got hurt? Tanny and Clay have none of that.

Another bad matchup. An overpowering D-line takes away the threat of the read option forcing us out of our gameplan. Poor Tannehill is going to get banged around again Thursday.
 
We haven't have a complete TE in decades. The last time we had a top TE was early 90s when we had Keith Jackson
