Nah, too many teams trying to make it in the AFC East. I can definitely see it next year, though.

It's possible-they are only 1 game out of first place. However, I don't see it. They barely won against a team they should've beaten handily today.
But as a Dolphins fan, I'm happy they have a winning record and at ude...haven't seen that in years!!!![]()
Before today I was optimistic about being 9-7, now not so sure maybe 8-8 is more likely. Still a huge turnaround and with a good draft and some offseason moves we could be headed to the playoffs next season.
Go Phins
They could, but I don't think they will. Next year should be more likely since they appear to be improving.
Kid was born to be a Dolphin, BTW check out the Michigan beanie...

Playoffs? Wow, my expectations don't even take me there. I'm just glad we don't have the worst record in the NFL these days...
Oh, and I want to beat the Jets. So long as we beat the Jets at home on 12/28 I can totally live without the playoffs.
Yeah, sure kid, why not? Eh, these chumps don't know how to ROOT for a team! In my day, if our team was 0-7, they were STILL going to make it to the playoffs. All you have to do is win.
I say, "Chad Pennington's on pace for 4,000 yards" and these low-life's just reflect back on the year before. C'mon, ya gotta believe in yer team!
LOL. I root for my team. I rooted through the M to M2 years when there was always a chance for a miracle. I rooted through the declining Marino years when memory of miracles made me cling to hope. I rooted through the JJ rein even though I loathed the man. I have rooted ever since and will always continue to root.
I also know what my expectations are and how happy I'll be should they be proved wrong.
And I still don't care about win/loss stats or records so long as we beat the Jets ;-P
Don't talk to me when you're on my block, talk to me when you're on my lawn!
IDK yet. Ask me in 2 weeks.The Fins will need to beat the Pats next week for me to begin to give you an answer.
I don't know if they will beat the Pats this time. The Fins have been flirting with losses for two weeks but to their credit and unfortunately to my nerves, they've managed to win them close and ugly.
I don't know if they can do that against NE which has had two extra days of rest and Matt Cassel is playing better compared to early in the season. Plus, the pats will be ready for the wildcat this time. I'd still run it...maybe add a few wrinkles....because they couldn't stop it the first time....maybe, just maybe lightening may strike twice. I don't think so.....to my chagrin, I like the Pats this weekend though I think the Fish can pull it out IF they can play mistake free football (their special teams = horrendous!!!!)
The way the Pats have been playing and putting up points, they Matt Cassel will probably abuse our secondary this time around. I hope it is alot closer than I think it will be, but I dont think the Dolphins win this week.
I think the falcons coach is one of the favorites (next to Jeff Fisher) of course but if the Fins finish on a run and win the afc east, Sparano's name will certainly be mentioned frequently.![]()
I just want to sweep the Pats and beat the Jets. Well, I'd also like one game where I wasn't pulling my hair out screaming for the last 15 minutes, but that seems like asking for the moon this season.
The Fins got a a$$ kicking today. I figured they would lose but this was a bad loss imho.
Well, we fins fan needed a reality check and this was it! Now let's see if they can regroup against the Rams or...will the Rams get their 3rd victory of the season against a not ready to play fins team.
They are still in it mathmatically, but today's loss I believe was the nail in the coffin.
Doesn't matter....imho, the fins are not ready for the playoffs yet. I'll take this record vs last year's. They have many holes to fill....they'll get better in time. The future appears to look good if Parcells & Co. can continue putting it together.![]()
Exactly, I think even if we did make it to a wildcard we would have a first round TKO. Its been a good run and we will continue to improve. It also doesnt help that we lost our #1 WR Camarillo for the year. I hope we can get some secondary help and a go to game-breaking WR next season. Henne should see some action pretty soon. I say put him in once we are out of the playoff hunt for sure that way he is alleviated of the pressure. Yet he still gets some gametime experience.
They'll have to beat the Jets in Week 17 to pull it off, or hope that Baltimore somehow loses twice.
Sparano should definitely get COTY. Mike Smith should rightfully get some consideration because the Falcons were ass last year too, but if you take a team that was 1-15 the previous year into the playoffs, you're coach of the year in my book.
Though I think if the Patriots wind up in the playoffs, Belichick will probably get it again.
At worst we will finish 10-6, to think we can finish 11-5 is unbelievable.
Is it safe to say the Dolphins benefitted most from the Brett Farve drama. All the talk about Jets and Packers the Dolphins are looking damn good about punching a playoff ticket with Chad at the helm.
