The Phins; from 8-3 to 8-8. An epic collapse

Why does he look like he's enjoying that so much?

[GunnerBill]

So let me try and understand where this leaves it...

 

New England are "win and in" next week in Buffalo;

 

If New England lose then a win for Miami over the Jets gets them in, but if they also lose then two wins (tonight and v Cleveland) get the Steelers in?

 

And I think there is one more (very remote) possibility where Tennessee beats Jacksonville but the Jags get in as the 7th seed at 8-9 as part of a 4 way tie on conference record.... or would some bizarre H2H kick in first?

Real genius.

[Roundybout]

Sometimes I feel sad and then I remember the Fish gave up a first and third for a guy with fewer sacks than AJ Epenesa this season. 

[Eastport bills]

The problem is that Tua, who they spent a number 1 pick on, is a flawed QB. His concussion history will probably lead to his retirement. Their defense also was not as good as advertised. Couldn’t happen to a nicer fan base.

[Southern_Bills]

Couldn't have happened to a better fan base. I hope Tua retires and they have to start skyer Thompson the entire year. (Next year)

They will sign Tom Brady in offseason and try to take over the AFC East again…

 

Not happening though. Go for it Tom!!

Brady’s no idiot.  He would never purposely play in a division that had peak Josh Allen in it.

I will point out that back in the 90s they were 9-2 and then missed the playoffs, so not the WORST collapse in franchise history.

I remember that. 
 

That was funny.

When Bridgewater went down, I couldn't help but think the fins got some karma delivered for keeping tua in concussed vs us.

They really really really need a durable quarterback but the Miami fans refuse to give up on Tua

Nope, nope, he will be fine...

You mean the Tua guy with 2.5 concussions? 

[wppete]

They were very arrogant, so were the Jets when they were 6-3.

Miami is out if the Jets beat them. 

 

If Miami beats NY, we could potentially be hosting the Fins on WC weekend.

 

I am assuming we beat NE next week. No way do I see us losing to them with so much to play for.

 

Pittsburgh is done after Baltimore beats them tonight. 

So you gave up on the Bills getting the #1 seed?

[D. L. Hot-Flamethrower]

If it's possible I think I've grown to despise this team, owner, coach more than New England (they're just sad now). The media hype definitely plays a role.

And actually the route to the #2 seed ans hosting the #7 seed is out of our hands if we are not the #1 seed. 

 

Win tomorrow we will be the #1 seed. Lose tomorrow we drop to the #3 and then need Baltimore to beat the Bengals week 18 to regain the #2. 

 

The #3 seed likely means playing Baltimore at home in the WC (because they will have lost to Cincy so the Chargers are almost certainly the #5), then @Cincy again in the divisional and @KC in the AFCCG. That would be a fair old gauntlet to go through!

 

The #2 seed would get us NE/MIA/PIT and then probably still the Bengals but at least that would be at home. 

 

The #1 seed means BYE then probably the Chargers at home and sends Cincy to KC so even forget homefield in the AFCCG it is the best outcome regardless.

From their cheating owner to their despicable, arrogant imbecile of a coach to their low life players (Hill, Wilkins, etc.) I agree with you whole heartedly.

He has two kids that live in Miami, if he was going to go somewhere and still see his kids, it’s Miami.

Plus, as we all know, Brady is buddies with the owner and others in the front office.

Its all conjecture, but it’s an interesting story.

Not like LV is much better having Mahomes there…

Fin Heaven is a five alarm fire right now. They want to fire the owner, fire the GM, fire the coach, fire half the players, fire the ball boy.  One poster said the Phins can't even cheat right and they lost two draft picks because of it. 

 

The entire Phin's Nation is on tilt.  They're wearing white after Labor Day and combining plaids and stripes.  They're fighting a land war in Asia.  They're taking wooden nickels.  They're crying over spilt milk.  They're cutting tags off mattresses. They're starving a cold and stuffing a fever.  They're paying $20,000 for Taylor Swift tickets.  They're eating gas station sushi.  They're running with scissors.  They're smoking with their oxygen on.  One of them just killed John Wick's dog.

 

It's Biblical.

 

Don't take my word for it.....

Very funny way of putting things. Thanks for the post, OP!
