We need to go 3-1 in last 4 to make playoffs

awfulwaffle said:
You mean we need to go 4-0 and hope the Ravens go 3-1. Give me a break dude. Didn't the Ravens win the Super bowl last year? You expect them to finish out the year knowing the playoffs are on the line going 2-2?

Yeah, their defense is not nearly as good compared to last year. Plus their defense is not nearly as good away vs home, statistics show the difference for ppg allowed home vs away. And ravens got games away against lions and pats I think. Plus the ravens run games and pass offense and flacco played better last year. They have less weapons and their offense is pretty stagnant this season. So yes this is a different ravens team.
 
New England is fighting for home supremacy in playoffs. No way that cheap Ravens team is going to beat NE.

I disagree I think the Ravens win that game. The Patriots are not that good especially when playing on the road. The Patriots will be fighting for the 2nd seed at best. The Ravens will beat them . The Patriots should have lost today to a 2 win Texan team starting a rookie QB. They are not the same team on the road and they have played in almost as many close games as the Dolphins have.

Why? What have the Patriots done this year that make them so unbeatable? If you don't crap the bed against them in the 2nd half, like the Dolphins did in the 1st game this year against them and other teams have done against them, then you have a great chance at beating them.
 
Just think if we were to make the playoffs we will have beaten either of the 2 teams we would potentially have to play. An argument could be made that we could possibly make it to the 2nd rd of the playoffs. Im gonna believe and argue this all week until Miami proves me wrong.
 
Who would have thought that in a playoff race, the last 3 games of the season vs ALL your division rivals will have NO IMPACT on the division itself and the game you need to win is the one next week vs PIT?? CRAZY!!!

So you don't win vs PIT, the other 3 don't matter IMO. Don't see them winning all the division games anyway. So beat PIT, and that allows for a loss to the Pats. They should be able to even up vs BUF, and beat the **** Jets again.

The key in all this is Ravens going 2-2, or better yet, 1-3!

The Dolphins need to be more consistent when it comes to finishing games. They also need to take advantage of every opportunity they have to score. They didn't do that today but won because they were playing against a bad offense.

If the Dolphins play 4 whole quarters of good football they can beat any of these teams. Do any of these AFC playoff teams really look that unbeatable?
The Patriots are overrated and have pulled out many games by the skin of their teeth. The Colts haven't looked that great lately and the Dolphins already beat them in their house earlier. The Bengals are good but have too many injuries to key players on defense. Plus there is always a very good chance of Dalton throwing away the game. The Chiefs are overrated, played a weak schedule and have lost 3 in a row now. The Broncos have the weapons to scores 35+ points a game, but their defense hasn't been all that impressive. They choked in the playoffs last year wouldn't be a surprise to see it happen again this year.
 
The Dolphins just need to prove that they can be consistent enough to win two games in a row. If they beat the Steelers they can get off of that win one/lose one pattern that they have been on since the 4 game losing streak.

The Steelers are a very beatable team. Their offensive line is in worse shape than the Dolphins line is now. The Dolphins need to limit Ben and his improvising. When they get to him they need to bring him down. I haven't heard any news on Patterson, but the Dolphins could really use him in this game. The Steelers have 3 pretty good receivers and Miller is a threat at TE. The Dolphins offense is going to have to take advantage of what is a very average Steelers defense. Would be nice to see the Dolphins score 30 points in a game for the first time this season.

The Ravens will most likely lose at least 2 more games. So if the Dolphins can win 3 of their last 4 then they should take the 6th seed.
 
We needed the Jets and/or Steelers to beat the Ravens. Can't count on the Jests to do anything right lol. I always said the only games we can lose are Patriots and Carolina. at 9-7 we make it depending on the Ravens ofcourse. We don't control our destiny anymore

Winning 7 of those 9 games by 10 points or less. If the Dolphins would have pulled out just two of the close games that they lost they would be 8-4 and playing for he Division. So tell me again how are the Patriots unbeatable?

If the Dolphins win out they more than likely get the 6th seed. The Ravens have a slightly tougher schedule and could easily lose 2 more games. If the Dolphins would have beat the Ravens, Bills , and Panthers when they had the chance we would be talking about beating the Patriots to take the lead in the Division in a couple weeks.

He may not have but many here are alluding to it. Acting like neither the Dolphins or Ravens have a chance to beat a team that struggles to win most games , especially on the road.
