Forget holes, yeah, yeah , yeah ol, rb, wideout but, many a Super Bowl team has had them at one or several positions. It's all about playoff matchups and doing one or two things very well. This Dolphin defense on it's best day can play with anyone. Get really lucky on offense and special teams for three playoff games. Maybe Fitz or Tua goes off in one of those games. It's time for us fans to get out of this loser's/victims mentality and start thinking bigger. This isn't basketball or a baseball best of 7 series were an inferior team might win one game but lose a series. It only takes 4 qtrs to move on. I dont believe in waiting till next yrs in the NFL. If your in the playoffs you got a legitimate shot.
 
Be serious dude.
We can’t rely on our defense scoring 14 every game down the stretch and if you don’t have a running game you don’t win in the playoffs. You pretty much don’t win cold weather games down the stretch. And factor in the OLine and Tua learning on the job

I also said special teams and offense get lucky and maybe puts us into that upper 20's for maybe 1 or 2 out of that 3 games. Think the need a running game to win in the cold is a little outdated concept. I've seen just as many run first teams lose. Really comes down ri matchups, defense, and a hot qb.

Ok, the running game is not outdated in the cold, but ok you say tomato and I say something else. So you don’t have a running game, then you better have the Martz greatest game on turf offense and we don’t have that. Yes, the NFL is about matchups. But we don’t have a running game, we can’t run the ball, and we can’t pass the ball right now. Not gonna happen. So where do we actually match up
 
The only QB that has a chance of “going off” is Fitzmagic. But, in past history, anytime there have been big expectations on Fitz he turns to Fitztragic. But Tua fans would be all over his nuts if Tua put up 100 yards passing

Except history and all that stuff.

If Miami makes the PO it will be because they have become a dangerous running team or a stout run defense. Unless you think Fitz will get ya there. He is due, I guess.

Let's hope our oline can show some growth. And Tua gets as many reps as possible.
 
For us to have even a ghost of a chance, several things have to happen simultaneously.

1) Kindley and Jackson have to be 100% healthy by the time we play the Raiders.
2) Ahmed and Gaskin have to step up and provide 100 yards a game between them.
3) Callaway has to become a reliable target who can stretch the field.

I'd say that these are pretty much non-negotiable. Our Offense is NOT good, and it has not been good all year. It would have to be at least average for us to have a chance with just our defense and special teams... both of which would have to continue to produce.

So... it's an extreme longshot in my mind.

When is the last time a run first team won a SB? The modern NFL is all about passing to score points and running to eat up the clock if given the luxury. There is a reason KC is the team to beat; they have the best QB and most explosive offense. I agree with the other points you made. I just think the narrative of HAVING to run the ball to be a playoff team is seriously outdated.
