During every season in which MIA won the Super Bowl, they lost no more than 2 games.

Therefore, the moment the Dolphins lose their third game, the season is over.

That one actually makes more sense than most of this thread.  While there certainly have been teams that have won the SB despite having more than two loses.  Teams that have had two or less losses almost always win the SB.  I can recall only one exception.

This is not even close to accurate.  Since the merger (and excluding the strike-shortened '82 season):

2 loss teams (11/31, 35.5% SB win rate):
W 16NE 04NE 03NE 98DEN 91WSH 89SF 86NYG 78PIT 77DAL 75PIT 73MIA
L 10NE 09IND 06SD 05IND 01RAM 99JAX 98ATL 92SF 90SF 87SF 86CHI 84MIA 83WSH 77DEN 75MIN 75RAM 74RAI 73MIN 73RAM 70MIN

1 loss teams (3/7, 42.9% SB win rate):
W 85CHI 84SF 76RAI
L 15CAR 11GB 04PIT 98MIN

0 loss teams (1/2, 50% SB win rate):
W 72MIA
L 07NE

D4L thinks wearing his "lucky shirt" on game day influences the outcome of the game.

Nope.

1/1 for zero losses

3/4 for one lose

11/15 for two lose

Overall 75% of the teams that lose two games or less go home with the lomardi.

I still blame Pats 2007 lose on BB wearing a red hoodie instead of his typical gray. 🙂

Did you see the part where I listed every team, by year, that failed to win the SB?  There are obviously a LOT more that failed to win, but you're claiming that over 75% did win?

What exactly are you disagreeing with?  If those numbers are what I think they are, that's not how fractions work.  1/1 and 1-1 are not equivalent.

You switched definitions of a two loss team.  The 07Pats lost one game not zero. 

As you stated earlier any year when. Dolphins had two or less losses they won the SB, for that statement to be true the 84Dolphins are a 3 loss team.

"I breathe when I sleep" is not the same as "I sleep when I breathe."

I didn't say MIA won the SB every season they had two losses or less, I said they had two losses or less every season they won the SB.  Not the same.

The moment the Dolphins lost their third game in 83 their season was over.

Go figure:

Since realignment Miami has started 3-0 three times and missed the playoffs all three times

The last two times Miami has made the playoffs, they started the season 0-2

Here's hoping the Dolphins lose next week, because that means the Dolphins are Playoff Bound Baby!!!
