A 10-6 record wouldn't even get us to the playoffs. The chances are about as slim as it gets.
We are currently the 10th seed in the AFC. Take out 4 division winners and we would have to jump ahead of 5 other teams.
Jets- 7-3
Colts- 7-3
Ravens 7-3
*Chargers- 7-3
*Broncos- 7-3
Jaguars- 6-4
Texans- 4-6
Titans- 4-6
**Bengals- 4-6
**Bills- 4-6
*One of these teams will win their division
**Both of these teams are tied with their 2-6 AFC record.
There is no chance of the Colts tanking out so that leaves 1 playoff spot left between 8 teams.
IF we won out would leave us with a 10-6 record. It's safe to say the other 4-6 teams wouldn't win out so that would leave 4 other teams to beat out.
7-3
Jets
Ravens
Chargers/Broncos
6-4
Jaguars
All of these teams would have to finish 9-7 or worse since they would all have the tiebreaker on us.
The best possibility of that happening would be the Jaguars and even that's no given
The chances of the Jets, Ravens and Chargers/Broncos ALL tanking out the last 6 games are as good as leaving a bag of green buds with Ricky Williams and not smoking any of it.
If we were in the NFC our chances would be great. The AFC is too strong and some good teams will be watching the playoffs from their $20,000 couches.
There will be at least one 10-6 team sitting home and maybe two. There is also a chance that a strong 11-6 could miss the show.
New England- 15-1
Pittsburgh- 14-2
Indianapolis- 11-5
Broncos- 11-5
Chargers- 10-6
Ravens- 10-6
Jets- 10-6
Jaguars- 9-7
Texans- 7-9
Titans- 7-9
Bills- 7-9
Chiefs- 6-10
Bengals- 6-10
Browns- 5-11
Raiders- 4-12
Dolphins- 1-15
If the season ended today we would have the 10th postion in the draft. There are 8 other teams in the NFL with 4-6 records but a better conference record which would put them behind us in the drafting order.
When it's all said and done I see us about 15th in the drafting order. I think we will finish better then the Bengals, Saints, Bears and Cardinals who are also 4-6.
If we're around 15th then giving up the 1st rounder this year for Losman would sit fine for me considering he was drafted 22nd. Giving up a 2nd along with another low draft pick would end up being a fair price in the end to get another 1st round pick a year early and get the player you wanted.
