Two ways to make the playoffs

[Patrick76777]

1. Knock the Titans out!

-Miami losses to Philly on Monday and to us the following week. Finishing 9-7 (3-3 in division)
-Buffalo wins last 3. Finish 9-7, 4-2 in division, 7-5 in AFC
-Tenn losses to Buffalo, At Houston and Tampa Bay, finish 9-7, 6-6 in AFC
-Cincy Wins vs. SF, drops one at STl and wins vs. Clev. Finish 9-7, 7-5 in AFC
-Denver finishes 10-6 gets 1st WC!

4 way tie at 9-7 for last WC Spot

Ties broken in division first so Miami is eliminated because we’re 4-2 in the division and they are 3-3.

3 team tie for WC with Buffalo, Tennessee and Cincinnati, Tennessee is eliminated because of the 6-6 AFC record.

2 way tie with Buffalo and Cincinnati reverts back to 2 team tie-breaking procedures. Head to head, Buffalo won and they get the 6th playoff spot. Heading off to Indy!


Hardest part? Beating Tennessee and having Tennessee lose to Houston. I could see the Titans losing to TB in week 17, I can see Miami losing to Philly on Monday night!


Option number 2. Cleveland over Denver
-Miami losses to Philly on Monday and to us the following week. Finishing 9-7 (3-3 in division)
-Buffalo wins last 3. Finish 9-7, 4-2 in division, 7-5 in AFC
-Cincy Wins vs. SF, Losses at STl and win vs. Clev. Finish 9-7, 7-5 in AFC
-Denver losses to Cleveland and Indy beat GB Finish 9-7, 7-5 in AFC
-Ten wins the first WC at 10-6


4 way tie at 9-7 for last WC Spot

Ties broken in division first so Miami is eliminated because we’re 4-2 in the division and they are 3-3.

3 team tie for WC with Buffalo, Denver and Cincinnati each 7-5 in AFC, Cincy lost to both Buffalo and Denver and would be eliminated.

2 way tie with Buffalo and Denver for the last playoff spot. It goes to win % vs. Common opponents.

Denver –
KC – W
KC – L
NE – L
Cin – W
Ind – L (assuming they lose to Cleveland and Indy to finish the year)
Finish – 2-3

Buffalo
KC – L
NE – W
NE – W (assuming we win out)
Cin – W
Ind – L
Finish 3-2

Buffalo gets last WC!



Hardest part? Again beating Tennessee and Denver losing to Cleveland. After that, it’s possible.

1st and foremost we have to win the rest period to have any shot at all.:)

[Patrick76777]

As long as we win next week, we’re still alive.

If we win and Miami losses, we’re in fairly good shape.

If we win and Miami Denver both lose, we’re in great shape.

Mathematically yes. But I don't see us beating the Pats in NE so none of this matters.

I’m not worried about NE yet!


If we win the next 2 games,
Miami loses to Philly
And Denver losses to Cleveland and Indy

We’ll be in a win and in situation in NE! At that point in time the game may be meaningless for NE. We could waltz in!

We just need Cleveland to beat Denver!

[The Spaz]

Cleveland beat Denver!

[Mr. Miyagi]

Not that I'm trying to be pessimistic because I'm a hard core Bills fan.

But even if all the above happens and we make the playoffs, we won't get very far. We might be able to take Indy since we came close to it last time, but we were at home. But chances are we'll be the 6th seed team and have to go to Foxboro or Arrowhead in the first round. We'll be out right away.

[Patrick76777]

Got to make the playoffs to find out.

We have a very good D and a hot running back. That's what wins games.

KC is on the downslide and they can be run on!

Indy hasn't proven that they won't choke in the playoffs and we played them tough

We beat NE 31-0 and I don't care how we did it, we did it.

Not saying we'd go all the way, but if we make it in, we could do some damage!


Hey, you never know!

Defense is on a mission to save Jerry Gray in these trying days. The Titans and Pats are in and aren't desperate. We wont lose to the Titans if they cant run the ball, this "D" isn't going to let Mcnair beat them single handedly. ACC
