Pats must beat JETS and Pitts must beat Bengals

[paladin warrior]

If the playoffs began today, Buffalo would be watching from home.
1 seed - Cincinnati (6-2*)2 seed - Houston (6-3)
3 seed - New England (5-3)
4 seed - San Diego (4-4)
5 seed - Baltimore (6-2*: lose record vs. common opponents tiebreaker to CIN, 0-2 to 2-0)
6 seed - Pittsburgh (6-3)
7 (OUT) - New York (5-3: lose head-to-head tiebreaker to NE)
8 (OUT) - Buffalo (5-3: lose AFCE tiebreaker to NY/NE, 2-1 to 1-1; lose head-to-head tiebreaker to NY)9 (OUT) - Tennessee (4-4)10 (OUT) - Kansas City (4-4: lose strength of victory tiebreaker to SD; lose strength of victory tiebreaker to TEN)
11 (OUT) - Oakland (4-4: lose AFC West tiebreaker to SD, 1-2 to 2-1; lose head-to-head tiebreaker to KC)
Rest of AFC teams: Denver (3-5), Cleveland (3-5), Jacksonville (2-6), Miami (1-7), Indianapolis (0-9)
*BAL and CIN are both undefeated in the division, which is why the Bengals are the 1 seed this morning. To be clear, the Ravens have a 2-0 AFCN record while the Bengals are 1-0, so their percentage is equal, but the record isn't. The NFL uses the percentage.
While this might seem like a significant decline, a Buffalo win this weekend coupled with a Patriots victory over the Jets puts the Bills back on top of the AFC East and as high as the first overall seed in the AFC. The Bengals also start their very difficult second-half schedule this week by facing the Steelers, so one of those two teams will lose ahead of the Bills.

Are you rooting for Tom B. and Pats WIN, paladin??

[paladin warrior]

Are you rooting for Tom B. and Pats to WIN, paladin??
NO I never root to pats U know I hate Pats If bills can move up to wild card that all

[Oaf]

That's what I thought paladin. I hate Tom B. If Bills can win 5-6 more games, everything else will sort itself out. It starts w/ Dallas.

[paladin warrior]

That's what I thought paladin. I hate Tom B. If Bills can win 5-6 more games, everything else will sort itself out. It starts w/ Dallas + Miami. ya But Dallas Cowboys are tough. Right now I am not good mood all day and yesterday . Freakin Bills lost yesterday. That was awful game. piss me off Big fat Albert Ryan Rex

[Oaf]

You gotta bounce back man. Remember coach's 24-hour rule?


It's highly unlikely we were going to sweep the Jets. Now if we get cooked again in 3-weeks (meaning either Gailey isn't Megamind, or we just don't have the talent), then we'll firmly be a playoff pretender. Hope we can bounce back with 2 wins in the next 3, with competitive play in all of em.

OKay I will cross my fingers & hope bounce back with 2 wins. Thank Oaf.


P.S I always hate Pats and Tom B

What country are you from?

[Billsfan3]

i agree but cinci still has the tiebreaker on us so we still be behind them

[Billsfan3]

cinci should start losing i dont think there that good they beat a sub par tenesee team who could not do much on offense so tennese will hopefully end with 7 or 8 losses bills need to find a way to win next 2 out of 3 to stay in this thing.. Divison title might be the best way to get a playoff spot cause pats seem beatable and jets can be beatable if bills figure out what to do against their d.

[MattyNH]

The playoff picture changes so dramtically every week I find it hard to get to involved in this at this point. Last week, the Bills would have been the 2 seed I believe, now they are out.

The Bills control their destiny at this point.

[DynaPaul]

It's too early to talk about this ****.

[Mr. Miyagi]

8 (OUT) - Buffalo (5-3: lose AFCE tiebreaker to NY/NE, 2-1 to 1-1; lose head-to-head tiebreaker to NY)
Why do we lose AFCE tiebreaker to NE?

[Ed]

I don't think it's too early. What happens now effect what happens later. It all starts with taking care of business in Dallas this week though.

[Ed]

Why do we lose AFCE tiebreaker to NE?
Division record.

[Mr. Miyagi]

Division record.
So we're 1-1 and so are the Pats if they beat the Jets, right? Or have they plays the Dolphins already? :idunno:

[justasportsfan]

What country are you from?

who cares? He went to Harvard

[Ed]

So we're 1-1 and so are the Pats if they beat the Jets, right? Or have they plays the Dolphins already? :idunno:
The Pats and Jets are both 2-1 and we're 1-1. So since the 3 way tie can't be broken by head to head matchups right now, the next tie-breaker is division record.
