It's pretty unlikely they'll host a playoff game as Pitsburgh still has essentially a two game lead on them. Still I like the Browns to make the playoffs now that Cincy took out Tennessee yesterday. Browns probably won't finish any worse than 10-6 and that will be enough to put them ahead of Tennesee who were the only other real WC threat. Really it's looking like the AFC could be NE 16-0 or 15-1, Indy and Pittsburgh to be 13-3, Cleveland and Jacksonville to be 12-4 or 11-5, the Chargers to be either 9-7 or 10-6 and everyone else at .500 or worse.
I'm reminded of 1998 when a pretty mediocre Chiefs team and their backup Rich Gannon went into Denver and held a 31-28 lead late in the game against the undefeated Bronco's. Bronco's managed to win that one 35-31 similar to how the Pats won last night. Next week they went into Giants stadium and blew it against a Giants team who weren't having a very good year. Look for the Ravens to mount an unsuspected challenge on the Pats next week..because it is like deja vu.

Miami could avoid an 0-16 season by tying 0-0!

Not to mention one of the Steelers stepped on his shoulder and he went to the locker room for further attention..
Anybody else really enjoy watching football when it's pouring/snowing out? First time in a long time that I don't even care that it's a 0-0 snoozer..

If you like defence its not a snoozer, I love defence more than offence, and I love the intensity the Dolphins D is showing, I just wish the offence would feed off it.
It's too bad for Ricky that the player stepped on his shoulder, who knows he may return, I for one hope for. I think people give him way to much of a bad rap, so he smoked pot, its not like he hung dogs, or is afiliated with murders, cough cough Ray Lewis. He smoked pot, he has a disease "social anxiety disorder". Anyone who knows anyone with anxiety knows it can consume your life?

Is it wrong that I hate the Dolphins because their GM was a big enough moron to trade Wes Welker to a powerhouse division rival for a 3rd round pick?

We Pats fans are scratching our heads over that as well. The guy is Mr Versatile. Did he piss off the coach there or what?

I dont think it has been much of a snoozer because something always seems to happen even if its not meaning seeing points scored. Its great.

That is crazy that someone who is always under the lights can have that disease. He for sure gets too much s**t because of the pot thing, you can't argue he was doing it to help his performance. He could be doing a lot worse things...

Every single one of you mad at the Dolphins for giving up Welker learn, how the football salary cap system works. Please read below.
Learn the story the Pats offered him a contract the dolphins could not match. The Dolphins qualified Welker at 1.3 million. The patriots went out and offered him a huge contract read below.
"The Patriots plan to sign Miami restricted free-agent wide receiver Wes Welker to a seven-year offers sheet worth $38.5 million. Once Welker signs the offer sheet, the Dolphins will have seven days to match it. If they decide not to, they would get the Patriots' second-round draft pick."
You could say that the pats pulled a "KEVIN LOWE" on the dolphins. They could not match that offer sheet so they traded Welker and got an additional seventh round draft pick instead of just a second.
Welker than signe a 5 year 18.1 million dollar contract with the Pats.
The offer sheet was a poison pill as described in the NFL!!!! It's away around a system of a team can't match.
Do you guys think Welker will be that good without Moss and Stallworth beside him, he's open because he's not playing against the tops secondaries who are doubling Moss instead.

Read my post and learn how the football contracts work before hating on the Dolphins GM. Trust me I'm no supporter but Welker in a Miami Dolphins uniform is not worth 38 million. If the dolphins matched that offer sheet, every single one of you would be saying hes overpaid. He would have half the numbers here instead of NE.

Somehow as a Dolphins game I was saying we will find a way to lose this game and sure enough we did, when you're 0-11, you're saying to yourself there is no way we can win, how can we lose this game.
Miamis best winnable game comes next week against the 2-9 Jets. Hopefully they can beat them. All I want is 1 win, 1-15 gaurantees us the first overall pick!

I just get angry when everybody is hating on my fish, It's mainly because we suck so bad and all ex dolphins players turn into huge impact players for the hated Pats.
I'm sure next year the Pats will take one of our players and he will turn into the best player ever. I just don't know who.

So does 0-16.
As for Welker, the guy has always been a stud receiver. Goes over the middle and makes the plays in the toughest part of the field. Guys like him are SO valuable to a team and no one can tell me that the Dolphins don't miss him more than anyone else they have lost the last couple of years. I agree that it was a financial decision for the Fins that had to be made though.

Man what an ugly game. I put 16 confidence points on New England, and 15 on Pittsburgh and live to tell by the slimmest of margins. I was almost eating my words on saying the Browns wouldn't host a playoff game. If Pittsburgh had lost that game, that would have given the Browns a great chance to win the AFC North.

Which would be good, but the Pats never offered that "poison pill" contract. They picked up Welker for a 2nd and 7th round draft pick after the Fins qualified him for $1.35 Million (meaning a 2nd round pick if another team signed him).
Boston Globe
Peter King's Monday Morning QB
Although I do think the Pats wanted Welker and were going to force the issue if the Dolphins hadn't accepted the trade. The Pats got an extra 7th rounder by doing the trade.

Are you not reading the pats signed Welker to 38 million offer sheet, hence the poison pill Dolphins figured they couldn't match that so they traded and got an extra pick out of it?????????????????????
What I posted there was a quote google Wes Welker and Qualify offer, please before you post next time.
