Title: Who to root for on our bye week Post by: dolphins4life on November 17, 2025, 03:52:14 pm Cardinals
Colts Bills Jets Patriots I am adding the Patriots because we need them to have clinched the number one seed by week 18. Our best hope is 9-8. Having the Patriots resting their starters will help. If Rodgers is done for the year, that will help.

Miami would have to win out to make the playoffs.
Title: Re: Who to root for on our bye week Post by: Sibster on November 21, 2025, 09:23:22 am It looks like this is going to be a combo repeat of 2011/2013. In 2011, the Dolphins started 0-7, then suddenly decided to start winning, ruining their chances of getting Andrew Luck and instead ending up with Ryan Tannehill in the 2012 draft. In 2013, they fired the GM but not the coach at the end of the season, then insisted on keeping the coach when interviewing GM candidates, forcing them to settle for their 8th or 9th choice after everyone else dropped out of consideration.
One big nightmare if you ask me. And no hope of waking up anytime soon.

Miami would have to win out to make the playoffs. Winning the next 6 gives the Dolphins about a 50-50 chance.

That's... pretty brutal. Title: Re: Who to root for on our bye week Post by: Dave Gray on November 24, 2025, 02:03:52 pm I would honestly be happy with winning out and missing the playoffs. It might be the best of all worlds. (Short of getting in there and winning the Super Bowl.)
Although a playoff win on the road would stop a lot of the noise. I just don't think the NFL is really set up to be able for a team like us to go win on the road. I think that losing another playoff road game would just add to the narrative. |
