Week 16

* And of course, a Dolphins win, in week 16 the Miami Dolphins automatically become the 7th seed team in the NFL. The Patriots lose their divisional lead as well to Buffalo.

Week 17

* If the Dolphins win the following week, Buffalo wins, New England wins, Raiders lose then we remain the 7th seed
* If the Dolphins win the following week, Buffalo wins, New England wins, Raiders wins then we become 6th seed.

Assuming we carry on the progress from the week before.

week18

* In spite of our record, and New England suffering a loss to buffalo. If the Patriots beat us we are pretty much going to have no chance at all making the playoffs no matter what happens.
In fact our chances are 100% out of the playoffs ending the season 9-8.
*Winning this game gives the Dolphins a very weird and scary looking playoff seed scenario. With a great chance of facing the Patriots, and also Buffalo in the playoffs.
* If Buffalo, and New England loses in week 18 at this point based on their record, they still make it into the playoffs, and so do the Patriots even if they lose. This is if the expected teams
to win those games that week do win their games. Any given sunday right?


Scary! Thoughts?
 
Chiefs have ten guys on the covid list. If they can't come off before the Steelers game, that's bad luck for us.
 
Dolphins fan kit - Don't get too ahead of yourself. You'll goinsane.

1. Cheer for a Tennessee victory tomorrow. We want that 49ers pick to be as close to 14-18 as possible.
2. Cheer for Miami to win Monday Night against the Saints.

Re-prioritize after those two things happen.

Do a little research, and get back to me. I understand why you initially feel this way, as Tennessee is in the AFC, but they really don't have an effect on us in the playoffs (realistically) and their victory is VERY good for the Fins. If they lose to San Fran I'm personally holding you responsible now.

Heā€™s not necessarily wrong.. If the 49ers can take down Tennessee and then we win @ Tennessee and Indy wins out then Indy would take the South meaning we would then hold the head to head tiebreakers against Baltimore and Tennessee which gives us another route of making the playoffs.

Now of course thatā€™s a lot of ā€œifsā€ but itā€™s not totally unrealistic. Arizona is on the ropes lately and Indy is smoking hot so no reason Indy canā€™t win @ Arizona this week. Then Indy finishes at home vs LV and then @ Jax. So itā€™s really not as far fetched as it seems. Honestly itā€™d be better for us if Indy did win the South bc then we wouldnā€™t have to worry about going head to head with them for a wildcard bc they own the tiebreaker over us.

True, Who cares about a 14 to 18th pick. If we want someone bad enough in picks 9 to 15 we have the power to move up. 49ers pick and Dolphins pick mean nothing at this point
 
None of this matters if the Dolphins don't win out and they have three tough games remaining with the next two being on the road. If they lose one game they are toast for the playoffs.
