dubla, Fiedler is only 2 years younger than Favre, so while he may be "up and coming" in the sense that he hasn't taken as many hits as Favre has, he sure as hell isn't a "spring chicken". His career won't outlast Favre's by much, so instead of 5 years of early playoff exists, you get three years of realistic Super Bowl contention (I don't think Favre will only play for another three years anyway. I think he can last for as long as Marino and Elway did.). With a defense like Miami's, any quaterback who isn't trying to throw the game can be a (regular season) winner. I'm not trying to disparage Fiedler, but he is not really a difference maker. Favre and the Miami defense would be way scarier.
You got me on the point differental thing, though . However, I believe the first tie break looks at the divisional record before they do head to head matchups, so there is hope yet .
Yup, the Oakland game next Monday night will be huge for us. These guys are starting to feel like divisional foes now, I think we've played them every year for the past four years, and of course back to back last year (and at Oakland everytime as well, I think). I think you seriously under estimate the talent of the Jets, though. Our offense is better than your teams own, and our defense has been looking Miami-esque since they relearned how to tackle over this current winning streak . Of course, that doesn't mean we'll "run the table" and finish 11-5 (which I would have to believe would at least get you a wild card, even with only 2 now), but that is a very real possibility. But, yes, the Patriots are dangerous as well.
