I agree complete but they lost to the Bills the week before at home. They were 0-5 against the top 3 seeds of the AFC last year. Their best chance was the year before last but Tua got hurt. If Hill gets hurt their offense becomes average

Fortunately for them, there's enough bad teams to carry them to the playoffs. It took an epic collapse at the end to lose the division last year. 

 

Even our own defense hasn't proven they can stop elite QBs either (especially not in the playoffs). That's why I've wanted the Bills to stop investing so many resources into D & go all in on just trying to overwhelm with offense. 

 

If we can't shut down (or even contain) Burrow or Mahomes in the playoffs, we need to be able to out gun them. Dolphins seem to think the same thing, only their QB isn't as good as ours.

It wasn’t really an ‘epic collapse’ imo.    They just had a prolonged layup game period on the schedule then a tough stretch and fell on their face in the tough stretch same as the year before.  Won one game they could’ve lost against Dallas and blew one game against a bad team against tennessee.    If you reshuffled their schedule you’d probably get the same exact result with them never looking like they’re running away with it 

 

im on the other side of the defense thing but im sure im in the minority haha. I think if we had one of Bernard/milano in place of aj klein that chiefs game is a comfortable win 

 

I do think investing in a bunch of pretty good dlinemen is stupid though with the way they have been officiating the playoffs.  The amount of uncalled OL holding is out of control so unless you have a beast that’s fighting through that it just isn’t worth it.  Seems like we’re adding bigger body receivers to fight through that grabby chiefs secondary/add more run blocking support this year

Florida is where you go to maximize your last contract.   
 

This is a retirement plan.  
 

 

So don’t fret over “why couldn’t we do this?”

 

Because we have taxes and 8 months of winter.

This how you know a fan is jaded.

 

Bills go on a great run and take the division when it looked bleak.  2.5 games behind with like 6 games to go?

Not a great run by the Bills....it was a miracle and Miami SHOULD have won it. 

 

Miami lost to Tennessee despite being up 14 with less than 5 minutes in the game.  At Home. On MNF.  They lost that 14 point lead, and STILL got the ball back with 1:49 left.  2 chances to either ice it, or drive into FG range to win it.  

 

Buffalo winning 4 games to make it a win and in game isn't some massive miracle.  They played the chargers and patriots with Stick and Zappe and honestly played pretty crappy in both games and won.  

 

Miami is to me?  A fast team with a good offense, but they're soft and reliant upon game script and home field advantage.  Tua had 20 of 29 TDs in the first half of games.  He also threw more picks, was sacked more, and fumbled more on the road.  Then just... the nature of their road losses - Beatdown in buffalo, beatdown in philly, beatdown in baltimore, beatdown in the KC playoff game.

It’s all a scheduling mirage with Miami…they always have like a 6 week run in the middle of a season that’s an absolute joke I just don’t understand it.  They build an artificial lead then come crashing down when they hit a tough part of the schedule.  
 

feels like they should be better because they lost a bunch of games to close out the season but I think 10-11 wins for them was exactly right

This isn’t even really about Miami.  
 

Those saying, “is OBJ the type of signing we really want for our WR room?”

 

Maybe, maybe not ….

 

We just don’t want Mack Hollins as our WR4.   For a team with Super Bowl aspirations, that shouldn’t be too much to ask for.

It's the base, not the "up to" that I'll be wanting to see.

This is a very expensive 35 catches, 565 yards, and 3 TD's over 14 games. 

Maybe OBJ has one or two more 1k years left in him, but he is running on fumes. 

 

If he's got a 1k year left in him, when is it going to emerge?

It's been in there incubating since 2019, while he's been chugging along at 35-45 catches for 500-ish yards since Cleveland

Real talk, Miami should be really good this year.

Miami gets it! 

 

Love their approach.  If we could just swap coaching staffs, we'd be a much more serious contender than we are.

They're a good home team, and OBJ helps their WR depth which was exposed when waddle missed the last few games.  

 

On the other hand, their defense is going to be bad imo.  Phillips is coming back from an achilles, Chubb from an ACL.  You can't realistically expect them to just step on the field and be 100%, and I'm also They signed Barrett who is still a good player but also tore his achilles in the last 2 seasons.  And a rookie.  Sieler is solid, but Wilkins was the engine that made that defense go and he is gone.

Until Miami can beat winning teams on a regular basis they won't be hosting a playoff game anytime soon.

Do they though?

 

They were in contact with Beckham a while before the draft. They reportedly offered him a contract then. After meeting with them 31 other teams had the opportunity to sign him at what appears to be a severely reduced rate from what he was making in years past. Yet there he was not scooped up. Kind of tells me where the league views him as a player. He's past the "hot commodity" prime and on to signing on the same day as the Chase Claypools of the world.

If Claypool comes in with a mature attitude and Josh can actually hit someone with speed for once, maybe we will have another weapon. If not, we fine bruh!!!

I was trying to give the guy the benefit of the doubt. LOL.  But I generally agree the dude is done.

Could be, but at WR 3 I'd guess those days are behind him.

Garbage QB, garbage defense, signed a washed 32yo WR. Love it. What an approach. This is their year.

Their coach is massively overrated imo.  They seem to consistently play their worst football in December and January, and just in the 2nd half of games for that matter.

The only thing scary about the Dolphins is Tyreek. Tua may have thrown for more yards than Allen but Allen had more total TDs, don’t know if he had more total yards but my point is, outside of Hill, nothing on that team, especially their defense scares anyone

They have a good stable of running backs but their OL can't stay healthy.
