  1.  

    I don't want a 37 year old QB at an exorbitant price with a balky back who every time he gets touched I have to worry about whether he'll be carted off the field. With a crystal ball that lets one see the future of course you make the move, but given the inability to stay on the field the answer for me is a resounding no.

    I agree it seems like Romo is hurt a lot, and the back issue is a concern. But other than this year and 2010 when he only played 6 games, he played 15 games in 2013 and 2014 and 16 games in 2011 and 2012. So, it isn't exactly like he is hurt all of the time. Again, the back issue is a concern, but not a deal breaker. IF he is not in Dallas next year, he will be paid like a top tier QB. It might as well be us.

  2. That crappy team has won 5 in a row. Their remaining schedule is not that tough either. Their toughest game would be the final at NEP, but the Pats will most likely be resting their starters that game. I agree with others who've said the Bills most likely have to win out to get in.

    I see both sides of the argument on the Dolphins. They're crap and getting lucky or they're a good team finding ways to win. It could be either, but I don't think it is feasible they keeping winning the way they have. They may very well get beat by SF. Either way, we play them, and have to win that game regardless of how they do the rest of the way. Our real concern is hoping two teams in the west start losing some games. It looks like our best case scenario would be for KC to run away with that division, beating all other AFC West teams along the way.

  3. i'd say cheer for raiders

     

    raiders would be 8-2

     

    Texans would be 6-4

     

    easier to catch Texans

     

    if Texans win, they are both 7-3

    Texans are not a wildcard threat. If they get in it will be by winning their division. It works best for us if the Texans start piling up wins and run away with the south. They take care of any hopes Indy and Tennessee have along the way if they do this.

     

    Right now there is a very real chance both wildcards come from the west, which we obviously cannot afford to have happen. So really it is simply, we want teams in the west to lose whenever possible. If someone does assert themselves, say it is Oakland, then we really want to root for that one team whenever they play within the division. However, I see a lot of splits happening within the division, so we need them to lose non-division games whenever possible.

  4. Agreed.

     

    Unfortunately the Bills will do the same IMO.

     

    We should beat Jax, but I bet we lose to both Oakland and Pitt.

    It's definitely not an easy road. The season may very well be done if we lose just one more, so losing both of those would be game over. But, for now, we have hope. Winning next week and heading to Oakland on a 2 game winning streak would at least make for a meaningful December game, and if we get a win there and host Pittsburgh after winning 3 in a row, I like our chances. But, let's beat JAX first.

  5. Miami loss would have been great, but not necessary. We still have to beat them anyway, and I'm confident they'll lose at least one more. I'm thinking that will be in two weeks at Baltimore, but wouldn't be surprised if it's next week against SF with the way they've stepped up their game. They also have the Jets and Cardinals left, as well as a week 17 against NE. Hopefully NE will still be playing for something at that point to make it a game.

  6. 538 updates playoff chances after every game (you don't need to wait for the weekend to end). As of the Bills win over the Bengals: 32% chance of making the playoffs, up from 20% heading into today's game. That's about the same percentage chance they gave to Trump winning. It ain't over!

    It will be interesting to see if that number changes much IF Miami and Oakland lose.
