Divisional rival game. Throw out the team records, throw out the last meeting between these two teams and also, throw away all the momentum of the 5 game winning streak. All that is in the past. What remains in front of the Miami Dolphins is a team that knows them backwards and forwards, there are no surprises, no secrets. Unfortunately for the Miami Dolphins, the one thing that the win streak afforded them was consistency. That went out the window when the entire Dolphins RB room tested positive for COVID. More unfortunately, it wasn’t just the RB room. We have potentially lost our star WR Jaylen Waddle as well as our star S Jevon Holland. Both of these players are huge part of what we do on offense and defense respectively. The pass game went through Waddle and the versatility and effectiveness of Jevon Holland doing everything from blitzing, to coverage, to playing near the LOS as a LB has been so valuable to the Dolphins. There is potentially good news as S Brandon Jones is questionable to return from ankle and elbow injuries Sunday. He’s logged 2 limited practices so it’s possible he can suit up. Jones isn’t Holland, but if I had to pick one of our safeties to replace Holland, it would be Jones.
Back to the consistency thing. We need Deiter in there at C and we need him to play well. We’ve had 3 different centers this season though I believe we’ve seen the last of C Austin Reiter who was waived this week. Greg Mancz who we picked up from the Ravens is IR/DFR which means he’s off the IR and designated for return. He’ll likely be the backup this week to Deiter who is wearing a precautionary walking boot. I’m really hoping Myles Gaskin can play. We know his limitations, as do the Jets, but he gives the offense some consistency which is much needed this week. If Waddle is OUT, and it sure looks that’ll be the case, DeVante Parker who is being rested this week and not practicing will hopefully be wearing his Superman costume under his uniform. The WR corps will be Parker, Wilson, Hollins, Ford and Williams. I would imagine TE Mike Gesicki would be in line for a heavy dose of targets this week although it’s difficult to say that with certainty since his targets have been anything but consistent.
Our defense will have to set the tone, and they have been doing that during the duration of this five game win streak. There won’t be the statue-like Joe Flacco at QB this week, it will be the much more mobile, much less experienced rookie QB Zach Wilson. To be fair, Flacco carved up our defense pretty well but ultimately it was his lack of escapability that did him in. Zach Wilson can move, but pressure will cause errors in judgement and poor throws. We need Emmanuel Ogbah, Jaelan Phillips, Andrew Van Ginkel to keep up their relentless pass rush. All of these guys have been killing it the last few games. If S Jevon Holland is OUT, hopefully Brandon Jones can step in and get the job done.
The Jets will likely get a boost for their run game as rookie RB Michael Carter will be coming off IR this week. Carter has played well this season and has been a definite bright spot in their offense. Bad news for the Jets is WR Elijah Moore is on IR and will not be able to play Sunday. He’s been the bright spot in their passing game which now features Denzel Mims who is desperately trying, along with the Jets to get going. The Jets will rely a lot on Jamison Crowder, Keelan Cole and Braxton Berrios. Tevin Coleman and Ty Johnson have been splitting RB duties but if Michael Carter is able to play, he’s the one to watch out for.
I don’t care what this game looks like on paper. Yes, the Jets are 32nd in points allowed with 397 (30.5 PPG). They are 29th in points scored with 226 (17.4 PPG). The Dolphins have made significant gains in both categories during the 5 game win streak. The Dolphins are now 25th in points scored with 254 (19.5 PPG) and really moved up defensively to 13th with 288 (22.2 PPG). When 2 teams know each other so well, anything can happen, especially after having the win streak snapped by the interruption of the BYE week. What could have been a week to improve our roster by getting healthy has turned out be a disaster with COVID infecting too many important players. It will take a lot for Brian Flores and his staff to stay focused and find a way to overcome the obstacles that have presented themselves this week. Hopefully Flores has this team’s attention and they understand the importance of winning E-V-E-R-Y * S-I-N-G-L-E * G-A-M-E. There are no week’s off, this team must win the rest of their games or the season is done. Jets Head Coach Robert Saleh would love nothing more to end this streak and have the Dolphins join them as another team from the AFC East OUT of the playoffs. This game could be a nail biter, so fasten your seatbelts!!
PS – Some good news most recently from the Stanger camp. Jon has improved since my last update. Things are looking up so all of you BLOG Cardiac Surgeons can rest easy and don’t worry yourselves about transplants and the like. Hopes and prayers to Jon that he continues to improve and get out of the hospital able to resume a normal life.
GO DOLPHINS!!!
Finsmob Unleashed 
Get us a ‘power-back’ RB, a ROCK at one of the Tackle positions (I’d prefer for Tua’s blindside but I’m not too picky), and a WR who can be a healthy version of DeVante Parker.
I guarantee, Tua is going to be a top-10 (probably more like a top-5) QB.
Right now it seems like keeping Eichenberg and Jackson on the left side is the way to go. RT would be my target. It doesn’t have to be an all-pro/pro bowl guy, but a solid starter who has like 50 starts at RT and a proven vet. Move Davis back to backup duties because of his versatility in a pinch. I would also look to add competition or upgrade at C if we can. Deiter looks okay but is he long-term? That improves depth.
Add a physical RB who doesn’t have to have amazing stats but can get the tough yards when we need them and make some plays here and there. Maybe in time he becomes a feature back. That improves depth.
Can we be so bold to ask for another playmaking WR? I don’t care what type of game this guy has, I want a playmaker who makes teams worry about more than Waddle. Right now teams don’t fear us beating them over the top or taking it to the house out in space. Waddle is the only one and they always have more than one DB around him.
Parker when healthy is a very good WR as we all know. Because of that, I keep him for 2022 but I want to replace Wilson who does not look very good on a consistent basis and Williams who rarely plays. I like Hollins (STs) and Ford as depth. Add one WR in FA and one in the Draft that can change the dynamic of our passing game. That improves depth.
Yup, yup! I’m with ya!

I could swear Tua is my younger brother with all of his “yup-yup”s!!! Damn!!! I LOVE IT!!! 😀
I got my “yup-yup”s from Teddy Riley, the innovator of “New Jack” music back in the late 80s-early 90s. I have NO idea where Tua got his from. It’s certainly not a Hawaiian or Samoan thing, to be sure.
He also says yes sir and let’s go a lot. LOL
Tua is a grounded individual and a competitor just getting started. Build around him and very good things will happen. Yes deep passes too. 😉
ABSOLUTELY agreed, man!
THE DOLPHINS WILL BE a much different team with Waddle returning and, perhaps, Duke Johnson starting. The Saints won’t know quite what to expect because, well, it’s the FIRST TIME they’ve played together as team mates. So the Saints coaches have to deal with an UNKNOWN FACTOR right from the get-go.
Miami’s coaches, on the other hand, KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY’RE GOING TO DO WITH THIS DYNAMIC DUO RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE. And THAT’s the time they need to fire all their weapons!! New Orleans is over confident, thinking we just shut out the Super Bowl CHAMPS— so these guys (the Dolphins) should be NOTHING compared to Tampa Bay.
“NOT SO FAST, MY FRIEND!!!” The Fins have been DEADLY on their first drives this season, even tho’ they’ve been short handed on a few occasions. BUT NOT THIS TIME!!! Miami has all their guns loaded. They are READY TO SHOCK THE FOOTBALL WORLD!!
I can almost see Coach Flo grinning with that malevolent smile covering his face from ear to ear. It’s more like a sneer. Well, Saints fans, FEAR THE SNEER cuzz Coach Flores IS HERE!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS, NEW ORLEANS FANS!!
COACH FLORES HAS A CHRISTMAS GIFT JUST FOR YOU!!
——————————-
GET BETTER QUICKLY, Young Stanger!! This game could put a major league smile on your face!
Anyone think WR Allen Robinson might want out of Chicago as a UFA? He would make us better on offense. Tua gets a savvy vet WR with size who makes plays.
TIM, QUITE A FEW “savvy vets” will want to come to Miami after this season is over.
Re-sign Gesicki, sign Robinson along with Waddle and Parker that’s not an easy cover. Then add another explosive WR in the draft. BOOM!!! We already know Hollins and Ford can step up when needed.
Who is this Allen Robinson you speak of? LOL 😉
Yup, he would be an OUTSTANDING signing for our Phins, and without a doubt.
What’s more, I think Matt Nagy and Ryan Pace are both GONE on ‘Black Monday’. Not sure Robinson wants to go through another rebuild in Chi-Town.
Allen Robinson will the best FA WR on the market. Not sure what you’re suggesting? I know who he is. LOL

I know you know who Robinson is, Bro! I’m suggesting I watched him in college at PSU, that’s all! 😉
Again, I 100% agree with ya on potentially signing him in the offseason.
He’s one of the best WRs in the NFL skill wise. The Bears have had quite the QB carousel. Robinson makes Tua better and vice versa. It really does make sense. These are the types of moves Grier needs to make now.
M13, why would Robinson want to remain in Chicago? New GM, HC and a learning curve for a young QB in Fields. Tua is ahead of Fields as a young QB. The Dolphins are better than the Bears.

I was saying that generally as it’s pretty obvious. Not saying you’re not aware of it. LOL
Robinson feels like another “ I can’t stay healthy “ WR … I’d prefer not … want a new one in draft for sure , preferably early …
Agree want 2 OL in FA, possibly a FA WR , but one that can stay healthy and on the field … and as above draft a burner with hands …
On a FFB note….
Stanger put up a different strong fight , and took out Hulk .. keep fighting Stanger I gotcha …
Phelon fell to Mrs Toba two weeks in a row , and was bounced from playoffs after finishing #1 in Regular season …semi finals are set and we will 100% have a feMale in the finals as Darlene faces Herd and Stanger will continue his fight against Twice Twice to see who plays fir the gold …
On an ironic note … of the 5 leagues I play in, I had Stafford as QB in 2, and Tua in 3 … guess which three teams made the playoffs… hopefully an Omen fir Dolphins season
# Stanger Strong
Way to go Ladies well done and best of luck to both of you.
Nice you’re looking over Stanger’s team Toba.
💪 #stangerstrong
I was set up!
I know we need RB, WR, OL, but I’m concerned about CB if X can’t stay healthy in the future or the team decides to move on from him before his contract is up. He’s literally won games for us singlehandedly in the past, and quite honestly, has made Flores look a lot better in the win column. If Iggy’s not the alternative, then who is?
To me, it’s like the situation with Cam Wake in his later years. Everyone kept saying we needed someone opposite of Cam, but never opened their eyes to the fact that we needed his eventual replacement too.
Damon Arnette is the CB of the future! lol
isn’t he the guy with issues?
Who doesn’t have issues?
On Friday, a video of Arnette went viral of him holding multiple guns. In the video, he repeatedly threatened to kill someone but did not name them. He recorded the video himself using several expletives and appeared to be by himself.
The same day the video went viral, TMZ reported that Arnette was the subject of a lawsuit after he was involved in a car crash last October. Arnette struck a woman’s car in Las Vegas and the lawsuit claims he left the scene of the crash before exchanging information with the woman.
Arnette stated he made an illegal turn but stayed long enough to make sure the woman was all right, per documents obtained by TMZ. He had a friend stay behind at the scene, but he did not provide any information to her and tried taking the blame.
trivia,
which four dolphins players on D are normally on the field thru-out the entire game?
Without looking, I’d say Wilkins, Howard, Jones and Ogbah
you got two right,
Howard, Jones, Baker & Holland.
Robert Jones to the Covid list. I hope he’s the only OLineman exposed!
Answer: None, they are on the sidelines when the offense or special teams are playing.
are they on the field during halftime?
No, they are usually in the locker room.
Howard, Jones, Baker & Holland get the most snap counts on Defense.
Peyton Manning Breaks Down Tua
Chop! Chop!
Jesus was a dark skinned, Jewish, socialist, immigrant with radical liberal views.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Trivia:
Who was the last offensive player for the Dolphins to go to a Probowl?
Jakeem Grant got a pro bowl nod this year
he was with the Dolphins part of the year
Who was the last offensive player to be selected to the probowl AS A DOLPHIN?
Jake Long?
This is a trick question. If they are selected to the probowl, it will be because THEY ARE HUMAN.
LOL @ SB7
Wise ass!
The answer is Jarvis Landry 2017
I bet Albert Wilson gets tired running pre-snap knowing he’s probably not going to see the ball his way.
I bet he’s going to be tired of looking for a job next year
Who will be the next Dolphins offensive player to go to a pro bowl?
Think we have more important needs than WR
Parker, when he’s on the field he’s been good with Tua and his dead money says he’ll be back next year
Waddle…
Hurns and Bowden, they kept these guys to bring back, and I’m good with that
Hollins, great ST and big play guy, when used as he has been
Think we have 6 to start the season, Merritt may be given the first shot at it, but he needs to show a lot more
Preston might get a shot too, think he’s still injured, if he can get his form back
May draft one after first 3 rounds
Williams isn’t injured he actually started last Sunday but didn’t do anything
RB doesn’t seem to be a priority for Flores, but a lot may ride on what the Duke does the next 7 games😉
Either way we need a top guy and/or depth
7 games? That would be Saints, Titans, Pats, Wild Card 1 Divisional round, Conference round and Superbowl?
I like your optimism. LOL
👍
OL playing better, but RT will surely be our 1st rd pick, unless we buy one
If you’re going to invest draft capital as we have in OL, you have to be willing to have patience and expect growing pains
Tua has been this OL’s BFF, as he’s allowed them to suck, while moving the ball and winning
He has been getting rid of the ball at an incredible 1.9 seconds per snap in November. (overall average on the year 2.1 seconds) He HAS been their BFF for sure.
The first half against the jets was so frustrating, that I missed the dink and dunk, move the ball, ball control, no turnover O
It’s not a bad thing
TE, can’t see how Gesicki isn’t re-signed
Smythe, can’t see how he is, unless it’s 2 or 3 mil
We’ve missed Shaheen, and Long should figure it out soon enough
No draft capital to be used on TE in 2022 draft
QB, not sure I’d look for one in the draft, to be used as a 2022 #2, but I would for a project, future #2

Who will be the next Dolphins offensive player to go to a pro bowl?
Reply
That’s a real tough one. Gesicki is probably the best offensive player, but there are better TE’s in the AFC and they have “street cred” already. Once you get selected to the bowl it is more likely that you will be selected again because of name recognition.
Waddle? He needs to get more yards and TD’s to be a contender.
Who else? I doubt Tua makes it unless we start making it to the post season regularly. I can’t think of another worthy guy on this team.
Thought Waddle was the no brainer choice
Tua plays an entire season like the last 5 games, not counting winning every game, just his play, he’s in the discussion
Gesicki has to really break out at some point and may slide in one year, but agree tough for him to get in
Forgot Parker, he just needs to stay healthy for a year and he’ll have a shot
Steve, I agree with your logic, but probowl selections are not logical. Often it is reputation over production in any given year. Chase got in as a rookie with less catches than Waddle, but he also had way less yards and way less TD’s.
I think Parker would be fighting an up hill battle even if he stayed healthy because of his reputation for NOT staying healthy.
As to Tua, I think he could play great and finish the year at the top of the passer rating board, but still be passed up for “big arm” QB’s
This year’s AFC choices
WR Tyreek Hill Chiefs
WR Stefon Diggs Bills
WR Ja’Marr Chase Bengals
WR Keenan Allen Chargers
TE Travis Kelce Chiefs
TE Mark Andrews Ravens
Taysom Hill out for NO. Got Covid listed this morning! Who the hell is Ian Book?
Answer: The starting QB for New Orleans this Monday night!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Book is the Notre Dame QB
Rookie out or Notre Dame going to start against our D Monday. Fingers crossed it goes the way it should and not some outlier / odd game where he winds up with a perfect passer rating!
NFL probably wants to know if it’s too late to move the game back to Sunday.
Must be going to the spam folder. Let me try to type something with the tweet
From your mouth to God’s ears Hal!
💪8🐬
Yesss
Not to jinx anything (shaking my juju bag just to be safe), but does thus season remind anyone else of that Tony Sparano (RIP) one? Where things began to go our way and every week brought another break for us and fortune facilitated our run to the PO … along with a deadly accurate QB?
While on that subject, it seems unfair that some people dismiss our win streak as being against lesser teams. When we were on the losing streak, no one cut us any slack for it being a very tough schedule against superior teams.
It was against shitty teams, you could even argue that Balt was shit when we played them, they haven’t done much since
When we were losing 7 straight we were playing better competition mostly, but we were bad
I mean plenty of teams have lost 7 games. Why are they considered better because their wins and losses were interspersed? That might be just how the master schedule worked out. Arizona lost to Detroit, so teams do slip against bum teams. Losing to a bad Jax team is bad on us, but we beat the hell out of Baltimore WITH Jackson, so they trade off.
We also lost to a very bad Falcons team and were blown out by the Bills twice. We earned our bad rep but that doesn’t mean we haven’t improved even with the easier schedule. Every team has easy games on their schedule but winning them is still hard, like you stated with the Lions beating the Cards.
The Falcons have won 6 games. They are 6.8 the bills are 8.6 Not much difference.
In fact, 16 teams, half the league, has 6,7,or 8 losses.
Why are those who have alternated wins and losses consider ed better than us just because ours were streaks? It’s still the same number of losses.
They “feasted on bad teams” just like we did and got beat by the few quality teams, just as we did.
Taysom isn’t close to a good QB, but he’s a pretty good game manager with their D
Even so Book can at least throw the ball
Belicheat has a thing about beating rookie QBs, think Flores has it too
Feel much better about our chances, but it’s not Monday yet, Taysom still has time to clear the protocol
Naples,
I don’t see many people saying we are one of the worst teams. We are in the playoff hunt and I see just about everyone acknowledge it. Who still says we are one of the worst?
We aren’t a very good team even if we win 10 straight. It’s the same argument isn’t it? We’ve played a lot better against the weaker part of our schedule and are a middle of the toad team. That’s average. Hopefully we will be good next year but so thought we’d be this year so Flores needs a great offseason.
It may seem things are going our way since the Saints may have to start their 4th QB, but hey, we have been hit too.
We’re likely going into the game without Robert Jones, but it’s next man up…(it is Robert Jones, right? Davey Jones? Tom Jones?) Whatever, we won’t have that guy available and we’re not crying about it. So buck up Saints fans! 😉
Lol comparing not having your 5th offensive guard to being on your backup backup backup QB who as steve points out may be better than the guy in front of him.
Hmm, are you saying it’s a bad comparison? 🤔
Wait … Jones was a UDFA, but he was honorable mention at middle Tennessee, so there’s that.
Witcher season 2 👍👍
I watched the first episode of season 2 and I wasn’t really impressed
But I think I’ll probably go back and rewatch
Right now I’m focusing o. Hawkeye
Super Heroes > Wizards
I’m going to get to Hawkeye at some point in the next week or two. I’ve heard good things. It’s Marvel, so even if it’s not great I know it’ll entertain. They have the formula down.
Marvel is solid
But I have one suggestion To improve their brand
Lets go niners
Are we rooting for them?
I’m torn on this one
We get the Titans next week and can do damage to their playoff hopes
That would be two losses for them if the 49ers and Dolphins beat them. That would put them at 9-7 and if we win our next two we’re 9-7.
And they they finish with the Texans (womp womp)
I could care less about drafting one or two spots different, if we end up in a tie we would have head to head, Go Niners!
This is cool!
Great job to whoever mixed those together – nice!
Our OL is definitely maturing.
They are playing better but Tua is also getting the ball out really quick.
Win out is all I’d like to see.
That would be great and then missing the playoffs would be a final kick in the nuts! LOL
All you can do is all you can do
That is true.
Kong,
Witcher was about as good as I could have hoped. Impressive at all levels. I heard WoT episode 7 was the best one yet so might give it a shot sometime. You’ve got me wanting to try Dark again. I liked the first 3-4 episodes, but my wife didn’t, and we were watching stuff together back then. I didn’t even remember it until you mentioned it. Netflix is constantly promoting new stuff and dumping old stuff in dark bins.
CAVKONG,TIM,NEW AGE, PIGGY, etc.,
I’ve GOT to ask you this question:
IF Christian Wilkens sacked Ian Book, then celebrated in his usual form
Would that be a “BOOKWORM?”
Seems so!
I’ll accept it but he still has to do it. Go Wilkins!
It’s not about kick in the nuts! It’s about learning and getting your shit together when the season STARTS.
At least have something worthwhile in place…geez, loyeez.
Spider-Ham
His time in the MCU will come
Howard the f’n Duck got his time already, it’s past time Peter Porker got his 15 mins…..Oh wait….Peter Porker did too.
When ever I see him I always get this weird feeling that I know him, but he wears a mask, how could I?
Crazy watching momentum affecting the game
Saw the movie today it was awesome
They did say that they thought Hunt might have probowl talent at guard.
Those mashups are cool. That one rocks.
Here’s how I see it…
If we can REALISTICALLY beat the Chefs* or Bills in the playoffs this year, GO NINERS!
vs
If we can’t or won’t, GO TITANS!
Plus, there’s more than one path for us to get into the playoffs. If we can get in with the 49ers losing, I like that path.
MF-13; I called a Buckeye friend of mine with the “BOOKWORM” Joke and he thought it was great!!! My wife, however, said “Keep your day job!”

I just can’t get no respect!
Mr. Dangerfield, you got an honest chuckle out of me! 😀
For whatever it may be worth, I think Rodney Dangerfield on Johhny Carson’s show is absolutely GRAND!!! And yes, each and every time he was on Carson!
THANKS Mr. Spikes; I’ll leave you with one final Dangerfield for this evening.
Hey, hey, I went over to a PUBLIX supermarket and jumped on the scales.
The scales said “GET OFF!!!”
NO RESPECT, I tell ya!
————————
Y’all have a great evening. This Old Dolfan is out.
This one is pretty good too
Ratt & Marvin Gaye is a good mashup too.
Isaiah “Larry Csonka” Bowser
Go Knights
I will fill in for Ken on this one
Stanger is having a tracheostomy tomorrow around 12:30
His wife asked us to send positive mojos
Thank you Piggy
Positive mojos for sure. I feel really bad for him and what he’s going through. Get well, Stanger!!!!
My prayers, thoughts, and positive vibes are headed to MR. Stanger.
Thank you for the update, Pigster.
Go San Francisco
Dilly dilly … Go Stanger and 9ers
X made his 3rd pro bowl.
But, but, but… “fuck X and his greedy ass!”. SMH
GO X!!!
GO PHINS!!!
GO STANGER!!!
Come on Phins, win that 9 in a row for Stanger!

Watching the game and Tannehill is terrible without his support system at full strength. We have a real chance next week against them. He’s averaging fewer yards per game than Tua, has 6 more ints, and the same number of TDs in basically 5 more games. If we can finally get Tua some tools, who knows how far we go but based off Tannehill…quite far,
Really, somebody said Hunt might have the potential to be really good at guard? No shit? Lol
LOL
I really like him as a person. He’s humble and has fun. He’s like a big kid always smiling. He’s starting to become a good NFL guard too.
Thinking of stanger as always! Hoping Santa brings him health and peace.
Jimmy G sucks
That was a really ugly throw even before Tenn caught it
This Titans team is WEAK without Derrick Henry. Tanny can’t (nor has ever been able to) put the whole team on his shoulders. That NO disrespect to Tannehill, who is GRAND when he has a complementary running game… but no mas.
We’re going to destroy the Saints on Monday night, then we’re going to crush the Titans the next week.
Did I say Jimmy G sucks
Wonder if we see Lance tonight
If SF had a QB they would be dangerous
Unless it was Tannehill 🤡
Tannehill is on fire right now
That was a good throw 😕
How did AJ Brown NOT get flagged for throwing a DB down, 15-yards past the LOS???
Push off for sure.
A push-off at the very least! Even the announcers made mention of it.
We need to have waddle run the same route Debo Samuel just ran
+100000000000
I want to see us find a Deebo type player in the draft to pair with Waddle.
TANNY!!!
I guess that’s that
I guess we gotta root against the colts
Well that sucks
What was that about Tannehill? Some of you guys still don’t give him credit. He’s a good QB. He’s just not elite.
First half he looked like crap … he looked like a different person 2nd 1/2
^
So did Tua last week except for the pick 6 in the 2nd half. Sometimes a football game is a tale of two halves.
Man Jimmy G was horrible tonight
Result didn’t kill our playoff chances … but yeah go all Colts opponents
Man the Tannehate is strong
You can win with Tannehill. But he’s not the elite guy everything goes through. Okay so what. Bob Griese wasn’t that either.
That’s what I thought of Greise too, but watching some old tape I no longer feel that way
Greise was a very good to great QB
He was super efficient. Made the most of his 12 pass attempts. 😉
It was a different game back then for sure, I used him as an example of not overwhelming but still good.
Before tonight’s game, we had three likely paths to the playoffs.*
The Colts/ Titans path
The Chargers path
The Bills/ NE path
The Colts/ Titans path: It probably died tonight. Now that path requires either two losses from the Titans (vs MIA, @ HOU) AND the Colts winning out or the Colts losing twice (@ARI, vs LV, @JAX).
The Chargers path: Requires either one loss from the Chargers (@ HOU, vs DEN, @LV) AND help to make sure it’s only a two team tie with us and them or two Chargers losses.
The Bills/ NE path: Requires either NE to lose to the Bills this weekend, or the Bills to lose to NE AND one of their last two games (vs ATL, vs NYJ).
Our best shot is the Bills winning this weekend. It’s one game and nearly guarantees us a spot.
*(The assumption is the Raiders, Steelers, and Ravens will all lose one more. That needs to happen no matter the path.)
And we have to win out right?
Yes, that is always implied.
I mean, we could still make the playoffs losing once, but it would take something absurd.
And this is still in play:
If these 4 games go our way on Sunday, we control our own destiny (win out and we’re in no matter what else happens).
BAL @ CIN – CIN
PIT @ KC – KC
DEN @ LV – DEN
BUF @ NE – BUF
Wow!!! I’ll say this… after the 1-7 start, that this Monday Night Game in New Orleans even means anything is cool.
I see all 4 of those happening
Straight up I surely wouldn’t bet any of those games the other way
Hill and Kelce are in COVID protocol as of now.
I think it’s a good chance, but that Buffalo game going the other way would really hurt.
The Tenn win tonight might have made our game against them easier
If Ind loses against AZ this week Tenn wins the div
SF no longer controls their own destiny
Thanks for the updates on Stangerx guys. Wish it was better news…..
I think about him everyday and always sending “be strong, healing” vibes to him and his support.
Life has been busy so I’ve not been here much. I did notice Stanger wasn’t around, saw a couple of comments and finally went back enough to see what happened. Wishing him all the best and restored health for Christmas. Thanks to Ken, Piggy, Mike E for updates. #stangerstrong
