Typical TBD Guy

Apparently you missed MNF.

This might help

Can you imagine the Steelers lining up on offense, and all they can hear are 5,000 cowbells???

Bills 30 49ers 16 Cowbells infinity

Jerry Stevestojan's column

I would. I know Henry isn't very popular anymore around here, but I still appreciate what he's done for us the past 3 years and how important a good #2 back is to a strongly run-oriented NFL offense. Any updates on Henry's injury, by the way?

But a 13-3 SD team will win the tiebreaker over a 13-3 Pats team that loses to NY this Sunday. So if you want the Pats to potentially lose their first-round bye, then yes you will be rooting for SD this Sunday.

Dear a$$clown aka CentralVABills: There will be 1 to 4 good teams throughout the playoffs for the Bills to test out their manhood. In the meantime, why don't you find more important things in life to get confrontational about? Maybe you can spend more time scouring your h.s. football roster for players who don't meet your standards of manliness. Then you can go harass them and their parents while sparing us TBD'ers with your tired arguments. Sincerely, KH

The Colts and Bolts play each other this Sunday. The winner of that game clinches the 3rd seed, provided the Steelers nor Pats tank their final 2 games.

We should be rooting for the Pats EXCEPT in the case that the Broncos, Ravens, and Jags all lose their games before 4:15 pm this Sunday.

I still say the Eagles make the Super Bowl. The NFC pool of talent really IS that shallow.

The 1990-1993 Super Bowl Bills beat up on a lot of crappy AFC competition. Should we invalidate their accomplishments as well? Keep pissing in my corn flakes. I'm starting to enjoy the taste...

My life is just fine as it is. I have a lot of time on my hands now that school's out. You should worry less about how I spend my time and more about how your Joe Simpleton logic managed to leave out the Jets scenario - one that is still very possible and could be the saving grace for our season. PS: Gant sucks.

Yes, yes I can! I'm actually feeling less pessimistic now about the Jags-Texans game than I was last night. I didn't realize that the Texans crushed them earlier this season, plus the Darius cheap shot has got to be extra incentive... The Ravens-Steelers game SHOULD go to the Steelers. The Broncos game could also go our way if the Titans decide to go all out for their final home game. Plus, the Broncos are doing everything they can to miss the playoffs lately...

The Ravens, Broncos, and Jags games will be over by 4pm. EDIT: Oops, too slow!

Don't give up hope just yet. If the Broncos, Jags, and Ravens all lose next week, then by 4pm Sunday the Bills will be in a position to control their own destiny. Also, as long as we beat the 49ers, our final Steelers game WILL mean something no matter what.

If the Bills finish 8-8, they would be mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. If the Bills finish 9-7, they would need all 3 of the following scenarios to occur to make the playoffs: 1. Ravens lose their last 2 games 2. Broncos lose their last 2 games (OR lose 1 of 2 in the unlikely situation that the Bills lost to the 49ers but beat the Steelers to get to 9-7) 3. Jags lose their last 2 games If the Bills finish 10-6, they would need 3 of the 4 following scenarios to occur to make the playoffs: 1. Jets lose their last 2 games 2. Ravens lose 1 of their last 2 games 3. Broncos lose 1 of their last 2 games 4. Jags lose 1 of their last 2 games [EDIT: Bills need 3 of those 4 scenarios to get the #6 seed, all 4 scenarios for the #5 seed.] [EDIT: Don't worry about 3- or 4- or 5-way tie scenarios because we will always finish behind the Ravens and Jags and Broncos in every conceivable 10-6 tie scenario yet will always finish ahead of the Jets; i.e., everything typed above is unconditionally true.] And here's a schedule of the remaining games of any relevance to us: (Note: * or *** means that game directly affects our mathematical chances of making the playoffs) Week 15: Monday night game: Dolphins (H) over Patriots - could affect how the Steelers play us in Week 17 Week 16: Saturday, 8:30pm game: Titans (H) over Broncos * 1pm games: Steelers (H) over Ravens * Texans over Jags (H) * Chargers vs. Colts (H) - depends on who you'd want to play in the 1st round 4pm games: Bills over 49ers (H) *** Patriots over Jets (H) * Week 17 1pm games: Bills (H) over Steelers *** Fins over Ravens (H) * Rams (H) over Jets * 49ers over Patriots (H) - could be relevant only for playoff seeding 4pm games: Chiefs vs. Chargers (H) - irrelevant if top 2 AFC seeds are clinched by this point Raiders (H) over Jags * Colts over Broncos (H) * And here's my probability listing: (Note: for reasons of sanity, I've divided the probabilities only into 5 increments: heavily favored win - 80%, likely win - 65%, too close to call - 50%, likely loss - 35%, heavily favored loss - 20%] Bills over 49ers in Week 16: 80% Bills over Steelers in Week 17: 50% (assuming Steelers will have something to play for by this game - very likely) Jets over Pats in Week 16: 35% Jets over Rams in Week 17: 65% Ravens over Steelers in Week 16: 35% Ravens over Fins in Week 17: 80% Broncos over Titans in Week 16: 65% Broncos over Colts in Week 17: 80% (assuming Colts have nothing to play for by this game - a very likely situation) Jags over Texans in Week 16: 65% Jags over Raiders in Week 17: 65% So based on these probabilities, here are the chances of the Bills making the playoffs: (Note: the chances of the Bills making the playoffs at 9-7 is about .1% and therefore statistically irrelevant) Chance of Bills finishing 10-6: 40% Chance of Jets losing both games: 22.75% Chance of Ravens losing 1 game: 72% Chance of Broncos losing 1 game: 48% Chance of Jags losing 1 game: 57.75% Total chance of Bills getting the necessary outside help: 29.97% Total chance of Bills making the playoffs: 11.99%

No stevestojan. And check out Mike Fartz and his gang of clowns right now...I guess no one wants that final NFC wild card spot.

It's not Favre that I'm counting out, but rather the Packers D. :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: GB Fudgepackers :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: Seahawks, too :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: NFC while I'm at it

What about Josh Reed? <crickets chirping>

JP-era, meet salary cap. Salary cap, this is JP-era.

No, that was the Browns game in Jan 1990.

Revenge is sweet.

Price: 14 g, 32 rec, 480 yds, 2 TD Evans: 13 g, 33 rec, 587 yds, 6 TD As of this morning...

Um...last Sunday?
