Default Week 11 vs. Miami, a must win?

Assuming Baltimore loses vs the Giants, which looks like it, depending on what goes on with Indy, and if Miami can hold off the Raiders, I think this game is a must win for the playoffs.

The Colts, Raven, Dolphins, Bills AND Broncos could be 6-4 by the end of the week. The Dolphins and Colts hold the tiebreaker over us, but we have it over Denver AND Buffalo. So we would be possibly 7th in the conference. Now, I know the top 6 make the playoffs, but if we lose to Miami, the Jets would have to choke the division and Miami would have to blow up for us to make the playoffs. If we lose to Miami, the playoffs could be out of reach.

Yup.

Win and we're still in the mix, yet still not comfortable in the least. Lose and this season is over.

Colts and Dolphins will both be ahead of us by today, leaving us at the #7 seed by the start of next week.

Honestly I still don't see us making the playoffs.

@ Dolphins, vs Steelers, vs Cardinals, @ Seattle, @ Bills are all tough games, with @ Raiders being the easiest - yet still no gimmie. Seattle is finally getting their QB back and is getting a bit healthier and have the best home field advantage in football. I see us finishing 3-3 and 9-7 for the year. This team has yet to put together a 3 game winning streak and I still don't see us doing so.

If this team is able to beat BOTH the Dolphins and Steelers in the next two weeks, then I'll be feeling positive again.

Technically no, but a loss would put us in a major hole.

Well, 11-5 probably suffices to make the playoffs, and wildcard teams can win the Super Bowl.

Even so, it's close to a must-win.

disagree...we're already in a major hole...it's very unlikely we can overtake the jests who are a game ahead of us, unless brett has a meltdown and starts throwing INT's all over the place...the dolphins have a very easy schedule and the bills have a favorable schedule as well, tho not as easy as the fins...i

if we lose this game, we're behind both the jets and dolphins...as much as I hate to say it, that's probably spelled "t-o-a-s-t"

Agreed for the most part and I hope the team plays as if it's a must win. But as someone pointed out, even with a loss 11-5 is still a possiblity if we were to lose. No guarantees, but that SHOULD be enough to get in.
