Globe: What the Dolphins win means

[HarkDawg]

I did not even read the article or click on the link...... what does that mean?

So If the Patriots win the next two games they have essentially clinched the division right?

technically.... but if we lose to Buffalo we deserve to not make the playoffs IMO

Next three games. They need 10 wins right now. If they beat the Dolphins next week, they would have at least a 4-2 division record and would have swept the Dolphins. It will make he Pats win any tiebreaker with either the Dolphins or Jets (who already have 4 losses in the division). Both the Dolphins and Jets are 5-6 and the Pats are 7-3.

Not really, the Pats would have 9 wins and both the Jets and Dolphins have the possibility of finishing 10-6 (although very unlikely).

IF we beat the Saints and the Fins, we'd knock the Fins out of division contention, but technically the Jets could win their last five and get to 10 wins still. But, winning these two would almost lock up the division (don't the Jets still have to play Peyton?).

Week 17 if I remember rightly. Although by then I'd imagine it's not going to be Peyton they're facing.

basically we need to win games on the road now . we have only 2 home games left and 4 on the road.

Ricky Williams did a fine job of carrying the team the other night. Put the Jack down, Icy.

Yeah ... even though I put it down the Bills smoked their azz ... I'll take the Jack back.

Ricky had 115 yards and each reciever had a few catches ... see you next year Fish.
