Yeah overall Miami's schedule for the year has been easier, but the claim that's been gaining steam the last couple weeks is that they have an easier path to the playoffs now. Granted it's largely being fueled by one totally non-troll poster, but I've seen more people agree with it and I just don't see it. We've got the Steelers, they've got the Chiefs. We both get the Broncos. 49ers are a wild card for us I guess but so is the Raiders for them. The remaining games are pretty even in my opinion. Plus if we can all agree that we've had the harder schedule thus far, and are still on top, then this Fins talk is truly out of hand. Edited November 17, 2020 by Nelius
Nelius Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 I think we need a poll. Starting to feel like nearly half the board thinks the Dolphins are going to strut away with the division so we should document these awful takes now.
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 A bit of History for Miami in the last 6 games of the year. 2014 2-4 2015 2-4 2016 3-3 OT win against Terrible Tyrod 2017 2-4 2018 2-4 2019 3-3 OT win against Cinci and the NE*** upsets in week 17 - At the end of Brady's career in NE***

The fact the Bills have only lost 3 games tells you how amazing the Bills O has been. There was a smart man here who predicted Miami would have a top 10 D before the season.... now if only I could remember his name..... He also predicted the Bills would be 7-3 at the bye with losses to Tennessee, Kansas City and Arizona. 1 1

Thriftygamer83 Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 Guys we don't have it from coaching and McDermott and others had put away the Cards until the end. One mental lapse among so, so many has demoinated and defined McDermott. You look at guys like Frank Reichnand he took careof business on both sides of the ball against Tennessee. It's the most defining aspect of our season at this point. We simply don't have a Coach that elevated and matured beyond early exits in playoff games. I dubbed him Soft McDoormatt and it's probably going to stick for awhile.

Go to the coaches thread where there are far more insightful (and some juvenile) challenges to this line of thinking. There just is no explanation for Buffalo fans....many of them are great and loyal and intelligent when it comes to the game. Others....simply aren't. But, I couldn't disagree with this opinion more if I tried. 1

I doubt Mr. Roll Tide has played in many cold weather, windy, snowy games that Buffalo can possibly offer. It's just to bad he won't get the true Buffalo experience as a Dolphin with 72,000 hating his guts. Maybe next year (hopefully).

That prediction had us 11-5 with further losses to Denver and San Fran. If I could have a do-over I'd flip at least Denver to a win but might flip Pittsburgh to a loss. A win against San Fran is more likely now than it was at the start because like Denver San Fran have been completely injury ravaged and to their best players. But they played the Saints hard this week and it will still be a tough game out there I think.

But they played the Saints hard this week and it will still be a tough game out there I think. I have been chalking up the Broncos game as a win, but Denver was in fact 5-3 last season at home but really 6-2 if not for a terrible, terrible roughing the passer call vs. Chicago that cost them a game that they had won. That said, they are 1-3 at home this year and were totally lucky to beat SD 31-30 in the game that they did win (i.e., a really shaky PI call on fourth down in the end zone that gave them one more play).
oldmanfan Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 It will likely come down to the last game of the year but both the Bills and Fish should make the playoffs. We control our destiny; should really have no problems with LA, Denver, a banged up Niners team. The Fish have three fairly easy opponents coming up. We need to handle the Pats again, assume the Steelers is a loss, they will lose to the Chiefs and Raiders. We still have the inside track.
