That's some serious spin they put on that title. LMAO A team that's collapsing and losing their way out of a playoff spot hasn't overcome anything. They're playoff hopes are on life support and rely on other teams collapsing the way they have. That ridiculously positive title just cracks me up.
I can't think of another NFL team that would still be fighting for a playoff spot after losing their starting QB, RB, NT, and CB.
not to mention our lack of playmakers and young team in general.....there isnt another team in the nfl that can do it. i agree 1000%
Plus we grew at some of those positions while still being competetive, we got some young players some valuable playing time, other than Ronnie I dont feel like losing the other guys was TOOO bad.
That's a great point except for the fighting part. They haven't been fighting for anything. They've lost their way out of a playoff spot this month period. They are a 500 team at best with a win next week. Point is that they are in the playoff hunt simply because of a lack of any other 2nd tier AFC teams stepping up rather than anything the Phins have done to "fight" for a spot. All I'm saying is that the title of that article is a big piece of amusing spin regardless of who they've lost considering how they are finishing.
We lost our way out of a playoff spot when we started 0-3. We didn't come back and beat NE? We didn't fight back against Tennessee and Houston? Its not like the team folded up and quit. We certainly have been competitive. If you listen to what the Titans had to say after that game, they essentially said were one of the most physical teams in the league.
Look you guys can say anything you want. I still see it as being pretty amusing when a teams website writes an article claiming the team is overcoming things to fight for a playoff spot when they are 7-8 after losing 2 out of 3 games in December against other .500 ballclubs. You really don't see just a wee bit of spin there? I'm not knocking the team, they are what they are at this point. The packaging of that article is just a bit absurd for my taste.
From what I gathered from the article, I don't think the author meant that we have a legitimate shot now, just that we were still fighting for a playoff spot at the end of the season... as in, for the past few weeks. At least, that's what I took from it.
To give up 27 points in one half and then give up ZERO points in the 2nd half means they weren't fighting.
It states..... they have overcome a lot to stay in playoff race. You can fight all you want and not overcome which is exactly what they've done. They have not overcome because they are not winning. The only reason they are staying in the playoff race is because other teams are failing to take advantage of their opportunities as well. This really isn't an important issue so I'll leave it at that. To me it's just another example of sad media, that's all I'm saying.
