The Dolphins looked absolutely horrible against the Ravens in the 16th game of the season, a game in which the #1 overall seed in the AFC was on the line for both teams ...... and they followed that up with a loss to the Bills in a game in which the AFC East division title and the #2 overall seed in the conference were on the line for both teams ...... subsequently, I was not surprised at all when they were beaten decisively yesterday.

And yes, the Chiefs had been struggling considerably in the W-L column late in the season, but all 4 of their losses in that span were very close games ...... plus, the Patrick Mahomes factor is similar to the Peyton Manning factor in that they are both All-World QB's who can almost single-handedly carry an average team to the brink of Super Bowl contention.

The way the Browns and Dolphins played proves to me that the Colts are not that far off.

One play maker to improve the passing game and one play maker to stop the passing game and we can compete with anybody.

I agree.

The Colts were one lousy ass pass and still catchable ball from beating the Texans twice.

Beat the Steelers and Ravens.

Actually beat the Browns, but lost to the refs.

Gotta beat the fucking Jaguars though, they're not that good.

AR coming back will be a big boost to this team. Minshew is, well, he's fucking Minshew.

This is what I like about this site. The fans are knowledgeable, unlike Facebook groups. Even the ones we disagree with are mostly intelligent. This team is capable of being an "Any Given Sunday" contender. We can beat the top teams as likely as we can lose to the bottom teams. Yes, it is frustrating to see us struggle far too often (a good QB will fix that), but we are closewr to the SB than we are to the top pick in the draft.

Yep, there are 6 teams in the playoffs and we held our own against all of them.

Steelers W
Ravens W
Browns L - Refs W
Texans Split
Rams Overtime loss
Bucs W

Of course, we got blown out by a couple of teams that didn't even make the playoffs, that's the maddening issue.

While the Ravens are the best team in the AFC, they also have the most pressure of them ...... in addition to having failed to advance past the divisional round of the playoffs in the Lamar Jackson era (2018 - Present), their biggest nightmare would be to lose to the Steelers 3 times in the same season.

Look on the bright side: we could be the Dolphins who, if you listen to 2/3 of their fans today, need to fire and replace a GM, HC, and starting QB... the three of which were favorites for Executive of the Year, Coach of the Year, and MVP according to many of those same people just three weeks ago.

Gotta love the off-season.

Lots of knee jerk reactions from Phins fans today I'm sure. Although to be a little fair to them the Phins were fools gold this year. They had no trouble blowing out bad teams but were 1-6 against teams above .500 including last night, and half of those losses were blowouts.
