From an outside perspective, I definitely think the Dolphins are still in it. I'm going to assume the Chargers will win ~12 games and take the #5 seed, leaving the #6 seed up for grabs. At the moment, here are the teams likely to compete for the #6:
1. Ravens (4-2)
2. Browns (3-2)
3. Texans (3-3)
4. Steelers (3-3)
5. Bills (3-3)
6. Dolphins (2-3)
7. Chiefs (2-3)
I think the Ravens (or the Bengals, if you prefer) are the odds on favorite. The Ravens probably have the best coach/QB combo of the group, defense has looked pretty good, and they have a relatively easy schedule (NFC South). Other than that? The Steelers, with that defense? The Browns interest me, and have a great chance to be the surprise team at the mid-point (their next 3: @JAX, vs.OAK, vs.TB) but they finish vs.IND, vs.CIN, @CAR, @BAL. That could be heartbreak brewing in Cleveland. The Texans and Bills are sort of similar teams: defense has some great players and they've got talent at the RB position, but they're limited both by the weak links on the defense and low-upside QB play.
If I were the Dolphins I would probably circle Week 14, BAL @ MIA on the calendar. Even if headed into that game the Ravens are 8-4 and the Dolphins are 7-5 (or even 6-6), that could get very interesting.
Just saw this. Did this happen at practice yesterday? Or during the game? It seems to have come from nowhere.BigSoxFan said:Moreno out for season with torn ACL. Luckily for Miami, Lamar Miller has really stepped up his game this year.
Just a little bit.Clears Cleaver said:i just started watching. first two plays were a intentional grounding on tannehill and a blocked FG. I guess I missed the good parts?
now bears are about to score
Bears had a hard time accounting for Tannehill's legs. The read option was prevalent, none bigger than the 30 yarder he ripped off on 4th and 1. They were also consistently rolling him outdwainw said:Just a little bit.
Great offensive game plan, and great team effort on D. I love how they FINALLY turned Tannehill loose on the ground. As for his passing performance, he obviously deserves credit for a great game, but I'm still skeptical about his ability to remain consistent.
I think Miami has a really good chance against SD. Ultimately what killed Miami against GB besides zero offense in one half was Aaron Rodgers ability to escape pressure and extend plays.Clears Cleaver said:I think Miami will beat Jacksonville. If they don't have TOs or special teams disasters, they should win by 10 points or more. If they win, that SD game is enormous. SD will have a couple extra days rest but will still have to travel cross country to play a 1:00pm game. Being 5-3 is materially better than 4-4, especially with road games at Denver and NE and Detroit still left.
Seems as though practices have been better the last couple weeks
sodenj5 said:The Chargers didn't look like one of the best teams in the league last night. I was never buying that. Look at their schedule. They beat one good team so far in Seattle, but all of their other wins (Bills, Jags, Jets, Raiders) are no big deal.
If Miami takes care of business against Jacksonville, I feel like they have a really good chance of beating SD and being 5-3.
The pass protection improved on the last drive -- but Hartline's drop prevented what could have been a big TD before halftime. Jags play fast and rush the passer well. Would love to see some cut-backs by Miller and a couple well-timed screens to make things easier on Tanny.sodenj5 said:Part of it is the Jags have dominated TOP. Miami needs to string a couple of long drives together and give the D a rest. If this ends up like the GB game I'll lose my shit.
smastroyin said:Even the GJGE kid would not award such accolades on the offense today. This is truly pathetic.
sodenj5 said:Really a drag to see the offense crap the bed especially after the Jags lost about 3 or 4 starters this game. Defense absolutely bailed them out from an embarrassing performance.
Almost physically painful to watch, really.pdaj said:The offense sucked hard -- but I'm not going to dwell on it. Got the win ... next up, San Diego.
sodenj5 said:I think that the biggest takeaways should be:
Miami won fairly handily over a bad team on the road.
Their defense stepped it up yet again and carried the team.
They made it through the week without suffering any significant injuries ahead of a critical game against SD next week.
I would say that this game against SD is one of the 3 most critical games remaining for Miami. I would say SD, Baltimore, and the rematch with Buffalo are probably the games I'm circling on the calendar.

Absolutely. I expect this team to come out hot against the Chargers. Gigantic game.
Wallace admits he's been disappointed with his overall impact, which hasn't met his expectations, and the team's offense for a couple of weeks. And that frustration boiled over on Tuesday when the team's leading receiver used a curse word to describe the Dolphins' 2014 offense, which is averaging 21.5 point a game.
"We didn't do nothing," Wallace said, referring to the offense's 326 total yards against Jacksonville, which features the offense contributing one touchdown against one of the NFL's worst passing defenses. "We've got to do better.
"We've got to make more plays," said Wallace, whose 32 receptions for 418 yards and five touchdowns leads the team. "We're not making enough plays."
