Among all the negativity, its time to look at some positives (for those that still want the Jets to win). 1) The Dolphins have beat TWO teams with a winning record all year. The Pats (10-5) and the Broncos (8-7). Yes I know all the negative nancies are going to come running out with "we havn't beat anyone either". I don't care, I'm just saying the Dolphins are not as good as everyone thinks. They got beat down by the Cardinals, Pats and Ravens also. 2) MIA 16 @ STL 12 OAK 15 @ MIA 17 SEA 19 @ MIA 21 SF 9 @ MIA 14 MIA 38 @ KC 31 They could easily have lost 2 or 3 of those games but the opponents the teams they are playing are pretty crap. YES, we lost to some of those teams but it just shows we're not playing the Steelers or Giants or Titans, etc. We CAN win. 3) NYJ 20 @ MIA 14 Sure it was early on and they hadn't gotten going yet. But Chad had 250 yards and 2 TD's in that game. Its very possible to beat them again. 4) We're 4-1 in division games. We're not that good but seem to find a way to win these games. Anyone else got something?
NYJ 13 - OAK 16 NYJ 14 - SF 24 NYJ 3 - SEA 13 Not to mention other close calls against specifically MIA in Week 1. ARZ and KC. Sure, Miami has come close to losing against shitty teams. But, the point is they won.
Yeah but thats not what I mean, I mean that they are not a juggernaut or anything. Some people are talking on here as if we have no chance against the mighty Dolphins. They havn't beat anyone, we def have a great chance of winning IMO.
The only reason I could give for us beating the Dolphins is we own them. This Jets team hasnt given us much reason to believe that we will win this Sunday.
Well there's..... Um... well, come to think of it, there's..... Well, we could always.... uh.... Oh, forget it.
I don't think many people don't think we can beat the Dolphins, it's a matter of who cares if we do if we don't make the playoffs? great, we beat the Dolphins and the season is over. why is that a big deal to you? that is about as satisfying as beating the Chiefs to finish the season last year.
Bill win 27-21 Jets win 24-10 Gotta hope. We will beat the phins I honestly have always liked Chad, but I think this is the kind of game that he is not made for in the slightest. Bills can't go without a win in the division, it's a home game. I really see them getting a result and then its back in our hands. Lets go Jets!!!!!!!
The Jets will win because they will already be knocked out of the playoffs by the time the game starts.
I have a good feeling that the Jets will win this game for some reason. I had bad feelings Denver, 49ers, Seattle.
Damm .. You guys are brutal ... The OP was trying to get some optimism going, and pow pow pow shot down like a duck .. Go Jets!!
This Dolphin's team reminds me a lot of the Jets team in 2006. Theyre not very good but they have an easy schedule and they beat the teams theyre supposed to beat. Now, the Jets are more talented than the Phins are, but the phins find a way to win, while we find ways to lose. Im an optimist, im holding out that we can get into the playoffs. But, would I put my money on it? No shot in hell.
Our defense was terrible vs. Denver and San Fran. Our offense was horrible vs Seattle and I can't understand why we didn't run the ball more last week. The coaching has been poor since the Titans game. Jenkins is a huge part of our D, I think he is hurt. Favre is obviuosly a big part of the O and he is either hurting in regard to his arm and is just hanging in there or is just done.
The Jets will win. The Dolphins are still the Dolphins. I can't wait until Sunday. Well, actually I can. I mean Christmas is more important, but still.
The Dolphins are about due to lose, just like Tennessee was. The problem is, of all the teams that we to need to lose, New England isn't a good choice.
I was just thinking the same thing...Miami is due for a clunker. They've won 7 of 8 with a below average talent team. 4 of those games they could've easily lost. And they're on the road. Think of it this way with NE/Buff. The Bills hate the Pats, they lost to them 10 straight times and would love to knock them out. No pressure on them, they can play fast and loose. They have talent, they have speed on offense which can give the sluggish NE linebackers fits. They finally came together and played well last week. They're have good special teams and are at home. Matt Cassel is due to turn back into Matt Cassel And if that fails, we still have Baltimore/Jacksonville. Jax has talent and they're still playing hard for Del Rio. They nearly knocked off Indy. Flacco is still a rookie who can fuck up a game.
