I believe it's official...

Patriots beat the Bills and they earn the final wildcard spot. Bills still fighting for top seed, so they likely won't be resting key players.

Dolphins need to beat the Jets and have the Bills beat the Patriots.

The Steelers could sneak in if they win tonight and next week and then have the Dolphins and Patriots lose.

I think if the Steelers, Dolphins and Patriots finish in a 3 way tie at 8-9 the Patriots get in. Although it might be more fait to just give the number 2 seed a bye at that point and say there's not team worthy of the 7th spot.

I know there are a bunch of people who don't want the Dolphins to make the post season after the recent collapse, but for those still hoping this is the best road in.

It is great to be sitting here watching our team ,that was 8-3 5 weeks ago, have to rely on the Bills winning their final 2 games for even a shot at making the playoffs. That is both pathetic and depressing.

Jets are playing as bad as Miami.

5 game losing streak.

Beating the Jets is very realistic.

Pats will lose to Buffalo.

So, all in all, I still believe Miami makes the Playoffs.

How do you know the Pats will lose to Buffalo? You must have a lot of confidence in the Bills beating the Bengals tomorrow night?

If somebody other than Skylar is our QB
 
As for the late season collapse. The team now knows it is flawed and regardless of how far they go in the playoffs, they have some off season work to do. If the team makes the playoffs they should have lttle to no pressure because expectations will be low.

I'm of the firm belief tomorrow nights game is irrelevant, even if Bills lose.

There's a lot of over thinking going on here IMO.

Who knows. Maybe I'm wrong.

I've been wrong 5 straight weeks now lol

Tough part is the Jets still have a rather aggressive D, and they have a TE. We have issues with both of those things. I'm hoping they are just looking forward to a few days on the beach and not actually play football.

Before this game I predicted we'd get in that way. Just didn't think we'd beat the Pats, but the other way seemed more likely.

Now, what happens if any games end in a tie? Lol.
