:confused::idk:

EDIT: ahhhh. Took a while for the poll to show up.

No.
As the #6 seed we will play in Oakland after beating Pittsburgh and NE.
As the #5 seed we will play at home against KC after winning in Houston and in Oakland.

 

[Daytona Fin]

Depends on which seed we get, #5 no, #6 yes.

 

[PYRO]

I would not be surprised at all, KC and the PAT'S are the teams I fear the most in the AFC. But I still consider both very beatable. KC would have to be a perfect game, they scare me the most.

Nothing is impossible...if our O-line plays dominant...Suh, Wake and Co. Dominate the line....Tannehill returns coming in hot...anything can happen.

 

[uk_dolfan]

With this run d, lb core and 2 backups at S? It would be a miracle

 

[jazz015]

I would go nuts if we made it that far. The best treat would be if we knocked out New England just to see the camera pan to their sideline and fans if they were to lose.

No. This team has fight and won't go down easy. Teams give us their best effort because of our defensive line and our WRs/RBs will embarrass you if you don't show up ready

Anything is possible!

I know we're not used to being in the playoffs but anything can happen in a one game playoff. Best team doesn't always win. Sometimes an unexpected team rises to the top.

If we can establish the run, we can beat any team.

Yes, I would be surprised.

I think it's a remote possibility, but yes, I would be surprised. We're just too hurt. With IAQ gone now, we're just pulling guys off of Special Teams, off the street, off the practice squad to start at safety now.

Our LB corps has been shredded. Our OL is playing hurt and missing a key player. Our receivers are banged up. Our starting TE is gone for the season. Our RB is hurt. Our starting QB is out.

Yeah, dude, what's next? I don't want to jinx it so let me just say, if we finish the season without any more bad injuries I won't even be disappointed.

 

[DisturbedShifty]

Yes. I'll be honest, I don't see Miami making it past the first round. And if they don't, that's OK by me. I just wanted a winning season and the fact the team made the playoffs is icing on the cake.

 

[Vaark]

I'd be surprised - very pleasantly so, but not shocked considering the heart this team has shown.

To make it into the playoffs, mount a 9-1 stretch, watch Tannehill come of age under an outstanding young coach, see an excellent backup rise to the occasion more so than most - all of it with holes in the defense, and injuries to key Olinemen, safeties, LBs and DBs is more than I could have hoped for.

So I'll be on the edge of my seat rooting them on, but for some reason, I can live with a loss at this point much more philosophically than I could in-season. I know that the old choking, underperforming, under-QB'd and under-coached Fins we've always come to expect who would find a way to blow it, is now in our rear view mirror. So whatever the outcome, there's much to look forward to going forward.

I agree with you post - but I wanted to add some points.

Our LB corps has been shredded. - Koa and Jelani weren't that good when they started anyway.

Our OL is playing hurt and missing a key player. - Gase said Tunsil and Albert are now healthy, only Pouncey is out now.

Our receivers are banged up. - Landry is healthy, Stills is healthy, and Parker just took one to the house....I think everyone is good now.

Our starting TE is gone for the season. - Jordan Cameron sucked as a Dolphin. No loss having him out.

Our RB is hurt. - Jay will get that shoulder shot up, and be raring to go Sunday.

Our starting QB is out. - Legit point here.

Yes, I think it will be tough for Miami to keep it close two weeks in a row against playoff-caliber teams. Now, if Miami lands the 5th spot, it becomes much easier. KC can beat Pittsburgh, which would set up Miami to play Oakland, and both of those match ups are winnable. As the 6th seed, though, Miami will have a tough time with Pittsburgh and New England. As I've said, no one wants to play Miami in a close game, but I'd expect the wheels to come off in one of those games.

Correct, I think that is the scenario that would not shock me if they made it. @ Houston and @ Oakland . . . I think we can win both of those games.

Anything against NE, Pitt or KC . . . I think our defense is too banged up to handle those quarterbacks, especially on the road.
