If Pittsburgh loses the next 2, they need to worry about winning the division week 17. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WheatieMan Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 This is really the first season where coaches have to convince the players they have something to play for when an explicit bye is not at stake. I don't know how you get Stefon Diggs to get up for the game if the Bills are locked into 2 or 3, especially without fans present this year. I would think that game would be a pick em' or slightly favor Miami (as long as no snow is falling). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trentwannabe Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Doesn't sound like the Bills will be resting guys in week 17 unless they've secured the 2nd seed by then (would need a Bengals win tonight). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could let them play a half and sit the 2nd half since the Steelers will be down 35 at half in week 17. 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's only that high because of what the Jets did yesterday lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKillerNacho Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 at this point, whatever. If we can't beat Buffalo in Buffalo what's the point of being in the playoffs anyway? would be nice to make it but this is a successful season as far as I'm concerned regardless. Assuming we take care of business against LV next week, @Buffalo just becomes our first playoff game (assuming that the Ravens, Colts, or Browns don't manage to lose out somehow). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good way to look at it honestly. If Miami was in the playoffs, likely they’d be on the road against Buffalo or Tennessee. Week 17 is basically a playoff game. Sudden Death for Miami, and Round Robin for Buffalo. Should be a fun game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatJaxxenGuy Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 With the way our rivals keep winning it might be the Ravens even if we win out. Tough times in the AFC race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good, Miami should have to earn it. They either belong in the play offs or they don't. I miss the Marino-Kelly rivalry era hopefully the division is swinging back that way. Barring catastrophe (injuries) this season has been a success. The fact that Miami controls its own play off chances entering week 16 is well beyond the expectations I had at the beginning of the year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah no matter where the cards fall over the next two weeks, Dolphins fans have to be happy and confident in the future. You know you have the coach and you know you have the QB. Everything else is the "easy part". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to see Mariota and the Offense have a good game, don’t care too much about the win here as the playoffs are over for us.
