    Patriots losing is HUGE for us

    Why? Because now them, the Chargers and the Colts will all be battling for a first round bye. Remember the Colts play Denver, and if that game means something to the Colts, it's much, MUCH better for us. I hope New England destroys the Jets next week, just utterly tears them to pieces.

    Unfortunately that is not entirely true because the Patriots hold the tie breaker against the Colts since they beat them in week 1.
    I am not sure what would happen if the Chargers, Colts and Patriots tie.

      It would be good if they all went into the final week tied, it means the Colts would have to play for something vs the Broncos. It also means the Pats can't afford to lose another game (As long as they beat the Jets, I don't care).

        The Jets looked good last week. Who knows, maybe they can pull that one out. I traded for C Mart before my Fantasy's deadline and I am in the Semi's so I need a strong showing next week out of him.

          What a Great day today has turned out to be.
          I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
          "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
          You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
          It was all
          true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
          He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
          mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

            I believe the Chargers would have the tie breaker against the Pats, so it is critical for them to beat the Jets. The Pats, with 3 losses, could lose the bye week.
            Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

              Chargers have the same division record as NE so If the Pats lose one more and the Chargers win out SD will get the bye.

                Yes, if SD wins out and the Pats lose one more game, then SD would hold the tie-breaker.

                If Indy wins their last 2 and the Pats lose their last 2, then Indy would get the bye. However, that doesn't seem likely considering the Pats finish up with SF at home.

                If Indy can beat SD next week then the Pats are likely to earn the bye even if they lose to the Jets, as I can't see them losing to SF. Losing to Miami in Miami, given the history between the teams, isn't hard to believe. I can't see them losing to SF at all.

                    Boy, it would be a darn shame if the Pats lost the bye.

                        NE39.... what is the "history" between the Pats and fish. I know why we hate the fish ( ) and I know that there's a huge thing between the jets and the fish. I've never really heard much about the Pats and fish.

                          If New England wins this week the Colts will have nothing to play for in week 17.

                          If the Colts win against San Diego and NE wins against the Jets they can do no better than the the #3 seed even if they lose to Denver. New England holds the tie breaker due to beating the Colts in week 1 so if NE wins next week they are guranteed a bye if Indy wins out and NE loses in week 17 against San Fran. If the Colts lose this week then they will automatically get the #4 seed. Either way the have nothing to play for against Denver.

                          The Colts not having anything to play for against Denver does not bold well for Buffalo. I guess we need to root for the Titans against Denver this week

                              Noooo we DON'T WANT THE JETS TO WIN. If they win another game, it deals a great blow to our playoff hopes.
