Week 9: New York Jets (3-5) @ Miami Dolphins (4-4)

[TheKillerNacho]

Tannehill is throwing again, and I'm hoping he will be good to go for this one, which honestly, is about as much of a must-win you can have midway through the season. At 4-4, we need to throw a string of wins together if we want a serious chance at the postseason. Thankfully, we're at home against an average division rival whom we beat already, fielding a rookie QB. Division games are never easy, but we need to turn this "should win" game into a win desperately.

If Tannehill plays I think:

Jets 20
Dolphins 27

If Osweiler has to start again:
Jets 23
Dolphins 16

Go Dolphins!

Here we are with the most important game of the year. Win and it's good vibes again. Lose and playoffs are out of the question. 

[Tetsujin]

Need this one at home. I don't think Tanney/Osweiler will decide the outcome. The D just needs to show up.

17 NYJ

27 MIA

Seems that we signed Ziggy Hood to aid our porous run defense.

This is a must-win IMO.

I don't think they'll play Tannehill.

I think he'll fit right in.

DT Taylor went to IR (dammit!), needed another body

Really thought 2018 would be much less INJURIOUS than 2017 but that's just not the case. Crikey!

Every team has injuries. The problem is, we don't have any quality depth.

True, but if you check the division standings I doubt you'll see any of the leading teams missing their starting QB for half the season, eh? 

Just need Luke Falk healthy for training camp.

[Tetsujin]

I don't think many (any?) teams have depth to consistently win with 10 guys on IR, with 7 being starters/key contributors.

[FinSting]

Not sure what to expect from either team really, Fins and Jets are both up and down from week to week. As others have already said, need the defense to play much much better. 

[Dolphinmeister]

No Tannehill he is out,Brock at the helm again. If Miami cannot get jacked up enough to win this game at home then that will truly show just how low this team has gotten. I am picking them to win because they should but that does not mean deep down I think they will.

Miami ….……….. 34

Jets...…..………….31

We just put Cordrea Tankersley on IR with a torn ACL.
