Title: Other teams watch Week 16 Post by: dolphins4life on December 27, 2020, 12:29:01 am ARE there any other games to watch?
The Ravens-Giants game doesn't really mean anything, I think. If Miami wins next week, they are in. If they lose, and Baltimore wins. They are tied, and it goes to strength of victory.

Title: Re: Other teams watch Week 16 Post by: Pappy13 on December 27, 2020, 12:40:10 am ARE there any other games to watch? Browns at the Jets. If the Browns lose to the Jets and then lose to the Steelers in Week 17 Miami will make the playoffs. That's easily as reasonable a scenario as the Ravens losing to the Bengals in week 17.The Ravens-Giants game doesn't really mean anything, I think. If Miami wins next week, they are in. If they lose, and Baltimore wins. They are tied, and it goes to strength of victory. Colts at the Steelers. If the Colts lose to the Steelers and then lose to Jags the following week Miami makes the playoffs. Again just as reasonable a scenario as the Ravens losing to the Bengals in week 17. If the Colts beat the Steelers then even if they lose to the Jags the following week and Miami loses to Buffalo then the Colts will still make the playoffs and Miami will be out. Title: Re: Other teams watch Week 16 Post by: dolphins4life on December 27, 2020, 12:54:06 am Cleveland at the Jets. If Cleveland loses to the Jets and then lose to the Steelers in Week 17 Miami will make the playoffs. That's easily as reasonable a scenario as the Ravens losing to Cincy in week 17. Colts at the Steelers. If the Colts lose to the Steelers and then lose to Jacksonville the following week Miami makes the playoffs. Again just as reasonable a scenario as the Ravens losing to Cincy in week 17. So next week, there could be three chances Miami could make the playoffs Title: Re: Other teams watch Week 16 Post by: Pappy13 on December 27, 2020, 12:58:17 am So next week, there could be three chances Miami could make the playoffs Yes. There are 4 scenarios where the Dolphins make the playoffs and 2 of them rely on teams losing this week. 1) If they win they are in. 2) If the Ravens lose to the Bengals Miami is in. 3) If the Browns lose twice Miami is in. 4) If the Colts lose twice Miami is in. Title: Re: Other teams watch Week 16 Post by: Dave Gray on December 27, 2020, 01:17:31 pm This is hard to figure out, since there are so many ways, but in general, we want losses from:
Colts, Ravens, Browns. But it's all different permutations of this. Or we could just beat Buffalo and screw the rest of those teams. But that would be like the least Miami thing to do, so I'm not counting on it. Title: Re: Other teams watch Week 16 Post by: ArtieChokePhin on December 27, 2020, 04:25:45 pm Yes.

Looks like your #3 and #4 are halfway done. The Colts blew it against Pittsburgh today and the Browns shit the bed against the Jets.

The Colts blew it against Pittsburgh today and the Browns shit the bed against the Jets. So, we are in if we win or 1 loss comes from either the Ravens, Browns or Colts. Hopefully, we take the easy way. Title: Re: Other teams watch Week 16 Post by: fyo on December 27, 2020, 07:13:32 pm We're playing meaningful football in January!
