Thursday will be a key game. They MUST win 2 of the 3 against the Ravens, Broncos and Colts. And Thursdays game may be the best chance of the 3. If they win Thursday, they have a shot. If they have to sweep the last 4 games, than I agree no.

 

If they can win on Thursday to go 7-5, beat Oakland to go 8-5, realistically they may need to win only 2 of their last 3 to get into the playoffs. Especially, if they beat Denver and that could put them into a tie WITH Denver and give the Bengals the head-to-head advantage in the two-team tie-breaker.

That the way I see it. Its going to be a tough road. Thursday will be a big test.

Denver stinks and I think they will pull one out at Indy. Hopefully the Braham and Levi are back soon, and that will help.

 

Also, I know its the Stains, but the Defense looked solid today. Jeanty was active and DB's didn't embarass us too badly.

 

PLaying Baltimore Friday will be a tell-tale sign of the rest of the year IMO.

For those that vote "yea," what fuels your optimism? What has changed in the last week or 2?

I predict the Dolphins make the playoffs. They are rollin.

The offense has come in full force for the past three weeks, and I think the only offense that is good enough to outscore us is Indy...

Chad Johnson has actually decided to do something to back his mouth up!

They will win out

No concern about Rudi going for 65 yards or so on about 25 carries?

 

No concern about NO passing for 500 yards?

Brees puts up big numbers against everyone, and when he throws 52 times, he's going to put up those numbers. I don't think McNair, Cutler, Brooks, or Big Ben is going to put up close to 300 yards, let alone 500. Rudi had a slow second half, they focused on the run and shut it down. It opened up the passing game, and Palmer took advantage of it.

They'll beat Denver. Write that down...

They better. If not, my significant other will never let me hear the end of it.
