Two games against the Jets, At Pittsburgh, At Buffalo, New England.  Win them all you're 10-6.  Lose any of them especially the Pittsburgh game and you're probably screwed on the tie breakers. 

I'm not sure we have a chance either way.  5 4th quarter leads blown, three of them 10+ points.

Season is now definitely over. You can't believe that this team who plays so well in the first half and blows so many leads can even get to the wildcard.

That's on coach Philbin.  He needs to go along with Jeff Ireland

Playoffs are most likely out of reach, but I still think Miami is headed in the right direction and should not get rid of Philbin or Sherman. I actually think they have done a good job over the last 4 weeks with what has happened. If anyone needs to go it's on the Defensive side of the ball which was suppose to be the strength of the team and it isn't. I can forgive the offense after losing Keller, Gibson, Martin, Incognito and Pouncey. Clay, Mathews, Garner and the new kid on the line have done an admirable job of filling in the last 3 weeks but there's been very few injuries on the defensive side of the ball comparatively speaking and they keep coming up short when the game is on the line, both on the ground and in the air. Dimitri Patterson getting healthy would help, but there's really no excuse for teams being able to just run the ball down Miami's throat the way they have and come up with a 1st down after first down on 3rd or 4th and long. Got to have a new defensive coordinator who can actually get out of this defense what it should. There's enough players on that side of the ball to be a dominant defense and it's just no where close to it.

Even if they won today they weren't going to the playoffs. This o-line isn't good enough to win meaningful games late in the year. We can't run the ball at all. .

We aren't going in the right direction, we are standing still. We are just spending more money to do it now.

I hate rebooting the franchise every 2-3 years, but Philbin is 100% to blame for these 2nd half collapses. We scored 0 points today in the 2nd half and never moved the ball after having several red zone opportunities in the 1st half. Rivera made adjustments, we had no answer for them. Philbin is not a good coach. Maybe a good guy, but not a good coach.

I think we all agree that Ireland should walk as well.

Nobody expected the o-line to totally implode like this. Losing your center, left tackle, having Clabo be a total bust and lose it overnight and then have Incognito have a down year wasn't the gameplan.  We actually are going in the right direction. We have a franchise QB to build around. We have gotten younger and more athletic on defense causing many more turnovers. Problems is in this league...with no blocking and offensive line you can't win! Period!

If we had even a decent o-line we would have 2 more wins at this point. The offensive line has taken away our running game, forced us to use a rolling pocket at times which limits your playcalilng, it has killed this offenses this year. Throw in the Keller and Gibson injuries and its a mess. We are $20 mill under the cap and need to break the bank and buy a few o-linemen, draft one in Rd 1 and just revamp it.

If Ireland has to go fine...but we are moving in the right direction actually. The o-line meltdown on the field AND off has killed this season

Stopped reading here. RT is not a franchise anything. Even when he was hitting receivers today, they were bailing out his bad throws by making adjustments (ie, one of the Wallace long balls) as often as he was hitting them in stride. It's been a season and a half now, and all the predictions of how he's going to be a "rock star," are ridiculous. No one is buying that he's great or a franchise guy. Objectively looking at his numbers, he's not much better at this point than Henne was at the same time. Send him packing with the coach and GM. -EK

You are clueless when it comes to QB;s (Praising Tebow and Sanchez but ripping Tannehill).  He had another 300 yard day today vs a so called "GREAT DEFENSE." And stop trying to paint yourself as objective, you aren't when you say send Tannehill packing. You come off as an uneducated ass clown!

From the Miami Herald:
The good news: Tannehill produced a higher quarterback rating in his first 25 starts than Peyton Manning, Eli Manning and Drew Brees.

Once again you have no clue what you are talking about!

Said the guy who thought Peyton's record setting rookie season was horrible and predicted that Lamar Miller- who averaged less than a yard per carry for the third time this year- would be a home run threat. When RT's rookie contract is done and he walks because he isn't the answer, talk to me then.

No one cares if he had 300 yards. This isn't fantasy football. He couldn't get in the end zone when it mattered. Newton had 174 passing yards to RT's 300. Who do you think had the better game though? Winning matters. -EK

lol, yeah ok. You are such a good judge of talent when it comes to QB's, who's Tebow playing for these days? Oh wait. . Tannehill is having a very good year. When all is said and done probably a better year than Luck and RG III will have this season at worse it will be equal years to them but most likely better when all is said and done. Playing behind a 2nd string o-line no less. But send Tannehill walking when his contract is up. you are clueless when it comes to professional football. CLUELESS!!

Tannehill was very inaccurate today.  Wallace kept getting open and Tannehill either overthrew or underthrew him.  I'm starting to have my doubts about him. I'd give him another year and if he doesn't show improvement, trade up to draft Famous Jameis in 2015

ha ha, another clueless one. Yeah Tannehill is the problem in Miami.  Roll Eyes

And you want to draft a guy (if he isn't in jail) about to be charged with rape...great. More off the field drama in Miami.

Do you guys watch other games around the league? Luck has 84 yards today. RGIII has been getting ripped by his coach for being poor. You expect superstar QB's to happen overnight. Hell even Brees took a few years before he became great.

See, Mike? The shine is staring to run off of Tannehill. Even other Phins fans can see he's no franchise QB. Wait, wait- tell me more about how Miller was an upgrade over Bush. Remind me why Wallace will be a better receiver than Marshall. Reiterate why it was a smart move letting Long walk. You want clueless? That's clueless! -EK
