Games to pay attention to today...

[Shiny Chicken]

Of course, we gota beat Cinci... no question about that.

Denver at KC @ 1... in order to get ahead of Denver, I think we really need this to go in KC's favor.

Seattle at NYJ @ 1... If Seattle beats NY, it'll do us a HUGE favor and make our shot of getting in much larger than it has been.

Jacksonville at Green Bay @ 4:15... Jacksonville's schedule after this is Houston and Oakland. If they lose this game in cold Green Bay, they are behind us in the standings and are no longer a problem for us.

Baltimore @ Indianapolis @ 8:30... Indy really needs to get this win for us... Baltimore is very dangerous for us if they don't lose this game.

[Shiny Chicken]

And as a side note, if Miami somehow pulls off the huge upset against NE, that would just be icing on the cake... putting Pittsburgh more comfortably ahead of NE instead of only leading by a tie breaker, making their game against us potentially less important for them.

[BAM]

Was just going to add that. I will most definitely be watching for these....

Well I'm off to the bar to watch... GO BILLS! :rockout:

[Shiny Chicken]

So far we have:

KC beating Denver 14-7 :up:

NY beating Seattle 10-7 :down: but it's close

Yeah...but we need PIT to beat Baltimore next week.

[Shiny Chicken]

KC is starting to beat on Denver... 21-7 :up: :up:

On the other hand, things are looking bleak for a Jets loss. :( now 17-7 NY

[Shiny Chicken]

KC up 28-7 :D

[Shiny Chicken]

KC up 28-10 on Denver
NY up 30-14 on Seattle

[Shiny Chicken]

KC is putting the game away... 35-10

[Shiny Chicken]

So far we have:
a win by Buffalo :up::up::up:
a loss by Denver (very important!!!) :up::up:
a win by NY :down: but not a real big deal

Right now we've got the GB/Jax game on:
Jax is actually up 7-0... but I'm not scared yet

Indy and Ravens are tonight.

[Shiny Chicken]

GB is now threatening to tie it up

[honey]

GB is now threatening to tie it up
I'm rooting for GB today - normally I don't, but I don't want Jacksonville to be in the hunt for the playoffs. :D Frank's not too happy with me cheering on GB. :snicker:

Too bad for him. Jacksonville has some pretty winnable games in the next two weeks... we really need GB to take Jacksonville out of contention. The Bills suffer a big setback if Jacksonville wins.

[Shiny Chicken]

GB has been moving the ball... just isn't scoring yet.

Not as big of a setback as it was by the Seahawks losing to the Jets.

The only way the Jags make the playoffs is if they winout. It's not that easy for them.
Houston at Jacksonville, 1:00 p.m.
Jacksonville at Oakland, 4:15 p.m.

Both games are winnable, but also loseable.

You can NEVER count Favre out of the game. He always comes to play the entire game, and always does. I truly admire him as a QB. Since I usually don't watch GB games unless they play the Vikes, I don't know a lot about the rest of the team, but Favre is a great football player. :up:

[BAM]

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Greenbay! And Colts. :up:

Cut that meat. Cut that meat.

Houston beat Chicago today - I think the score was 24-5 or something like that.

EXACTLY and Oakland has been doing pretty good lately too.

I disagree... NY has always been the toughest team for us to catch up with... I've doubted that we could catch up with them from the very beginning. We don't need to though. The chances have always been greater that we could get ahead oof Baltimore, Denver and Jacksonville. Jacksonville winning is much worse than NY winning. Jacksonville is basically a team we MUST get ahead of... NY is not. We can let NY stay ahead of us... we absolutely CANNOT let Jacksonville stay tied with us... This is Jacksonville's touighest game over their last three... if they win, it is NOT good.

don't let your hatred for the Jets blind you...

[Shiny Chicken]

Houston beat Chicago today - I think the score was 24-5 or something like that.
And Chicago is playing like trash.

Like I said, Mikey, don't let your hatred for the Jets blind you into thinking it's more important to get ahead of them than to get ahead of Jacksonville.

[BAM]

Yah Seattle really laid an egg today.

[pyrrhonist]

At least Denver lost today, which is a big help. I don't think Baltimore will beat the Colts tonight. Their defense gets a lot of kudos, but I think Manning will not only beat the record tonight, but will win the game for the Colts. It helps that the Baltimore offense can't move the ball. Of course, they've won 85% of their games this year on defensive turnovers, so that part is scary. :pray:



You can NEVER count Favre out of the game. He always comes to play the entire game, and always does.

The Packs problems this year stem from Favre, IMO. In the beginning of the season, he acknowledged that he was on his downhill swing, and Ahman was the reason they were so dangerous the past year, year-and-a-half. They played that way the 1st 2 or 3 games this year. However, their defense stinks most of the time, and to boot, Favre still has times where he goes out there and plays like he was still his Super Bowl-winning self. He's not. They need to focus on the running game, and use Favre as option #2. He tries too much to be a hero still, and he's not the same as he was anymore.

We hold the tiebreaker with the Jets. It would be great for Buffalo if the Jets lose to the Patriots next week and then in St Louis in week 17. We win out...Bills/Jets tied...10-6. Bills hold tiebreaker advantage.

Then we need the Ravens to lose 2 out of the next three...they'd be 9-7. Denver is tied with us now and only needs to lose 1 out of the next two. If both those happen...we make the playoffs with Jacksonville (if they run the table, unlikely) and the Jets to fight for the other spot. Like I said...who cares about Jacksonville? I don't.

[Michael82]

Anyways....Byron Leftwich is hurt badly right now. So that helps the Bills. :snicker:


:jk: :calm:

[BAM]

cya Byron.

[Shiny Chicken]

You're failing to look at the big picture Mikey.

[Michael82]

cya Byron.
He's badly hurt and the Jags playoff hopes are too.

[pyrrhonist]

Let's not get too happy, as Garrard is a capable backup. He's mobile, to boot.

Plus, even Rob Johnson could throw for 350 yards & 3 TDs against GBs "secondary". :winkpunch

Why do you have to start that? :mad: :ill:

[pyrrhonist]

Sorry!! :peace:

I just thought it was the best way to get the point across about how poor GBs secondary is. Can I pretend like I never said it, and say A.J. Feeley, instead? :clap:

[BAM]

Touchhhhhhhhdown GreenBay. :up:

Heads up play there by Sharper.

JAX 7
GB 9

It's under review, though, isn't it? Damn NFL.com.....

[BAM]

10-7. That was close.

[pyrrhonist]

10-7. That was close.

Took them long enough, non? I thought it was going to be overturned.

Now, let's see a healthy dose of Ahman (For GBs sake, & for my fantasy team's sake). :bighug:

[honey]

13-10 Jags. :mad:

[pyrrhonist]

38 yards in penalties on that drive, great job GB.

With GB trailing, this means Favre will probably come and try to be a "hero" right off the bat. :nervous:

[BAM]

Sunuva*****.

[Shiny Chicken]

And Van Miller agrees with me... Jacksonville winning this game would hurt us a lot.

[pyrrhonist]

Damnit, Favre, hold on to the ball! :fury:

[Shiny Chicken]

TD Green Bay!!

[Shiny Chicken]

Green Bay up 17-14

[BlackJohn]

favre is my hero for the next hour

[BAM]

TD Green Bay!!


:hi5:

[Typ0]

So if we end up playing the JEST in the playoffs the game will be in buffalo. That's pretty cool in and of itself...three teams from the AFC east could make it.

[BAM]

Damn. :mad:

[Shiny Chicken]

1'st and goal for GB.

[Shiny Chicken]

Favre intercepted in the end zone :( :(

[BlackJohn]

Jax 28 GB 17
its not looking good for our playoff chances, we really need GB to win.....
Time for favre to come up with a score.

[BlackJohn]

refs are screwing buffalo again!

Taylor just fumbled, refs ruled him down wouldn't review the play
