Looking at this, we really have slim to no chance IMO. The Jets are not going to lose out, so they will lock up the 5th spot.AFC playoff race NFC playoff race Team W L T Div Conf Team W L T Div Conf 1. Steelers 11 1 0 4-1 8-1 1. Eagles(z) 11 1 0 4-0 9-0 2. Patriots 11 1 0 4-0 8-1 2. Falcons 9 3 0 3-1 7-2 3. Chargers 9 3 0 4-1 7-2 3. Packers 7 5 0 2-1 6-3 4. Colts 9 3 0 4-1 5-3 4. Seattle 6 5 0 2-3 5-3 5. Jets 9 3 0 3-2 7-3 5. Vikings 7 5 0 2-2 4-4 6. Ravens 7 5 0 3-3 5-4 6. Rams 6 6 0 5-0 6-3 Broncos 7 5 0 3-3 4-4 Panthers 5 7 0 2-1 4-4 Jaguars 6 6 0 2-3 5-5 Lions 5 7 0 1-2 4-5 Bengals 6 6 0 2-4 4-6 Bucs 5 7 0 2-2 4-5 Bills 6 6 0 3-3 3-6 Giants 5 7 0 2-2 4-6 Bears 5 7 0 2-2 4-6
If we go 10-6, we can only get in if we are not tied with the Ravens, Jags or Broncos. They all have the advantage (Ravens/Jags have H2H, and Denver has the better AFC record). So that means those 3 teams will have to finish 2-2 or worse, while we need to be 4-0.
If we go 9-7, same thing applies, even if those other teams finish 9-7. They win the TB.
As for Cincy, they are the most "beatable" given we haven't lost to them and our records are even. But the fact that there are 3 other teams positioned in front of us really makes it almost impossible. But hey, who knows, right?Last edited by Mr. Cynical; 12-06-2004, 12:32 PM.

Yeah, we can guess. He should come of the bench for Clemens, played CB for a series, knocked the ball down, then stayed on the field to kneel it out. Or, we coulda outbid Washington for Brunell. Or, we coulda fired TD and hired the as yet unidentified (and unemployed) personnel genius as GM. Or, we coulda hired Tom Coughlin, so that JP could jump start the offense on his one good leg. Or.....Someone said "What's he gonna turn out like?" Ha!
And someone else said "Never mind!"
