  1. Mock and laugh at Jerry Jones and parcells? Please. Sometimes trades work out well for both teams.

     

    We have analyzed Buffalos take on this, and I agree, but for a second look at this from Dallas' point of view.

     

    They passed up steven jackson (124 rushes, 644 yds) For Julius Jones (168 rushes, 670yds).

     

    I do think Jackson is the better back, but it isnt by much.

    Dallas got their Running back they despratly needed, and in the process picked up an "extra" first round pick!

     

    They could have stayed with Steven Jackson, and not had an extra first rounder.

     

    Point is, this was an EXCELLENT trade for Dallas. Sometimes in our blue and red colored glasses we fail to see that, Remember though, that just because it was an marvelous trade by dallas, does NOT mean it was a bad trade for us.

  2. The question I have is this though....

     

    If Ind loses next week to denver, its likely denver will be in the playoffs.

    If Ind wins next week, its likely buffalo would be in the playoffs.

     

    its also likely indianapolis will play either buffalo or denver in round 1.

     

    So...put this all together, if you are indy, who do you want to play in round 1? I think the answer is denver....

     

     

    Do they "throw" the game, so they dont have to play the hottest team in football?

     

    Hmm...

  3. I dont know who baltimore has the tiebreaker over (besides us), but assuming pit wins, baltimore would need to make the playoffs at 9-7.

     

    This unlikely scenario would be further complicated by the fact that all remaining 9-7 teams are 6-6 in AFC play (assuming buffalo beats pit and loses to SF...unlikely. In the reverse scenario, buffalo would be 5-7 in AFC play and be eliminated by tiebreakers).

     

    So for baltimore to still make the playoffs at 9-7, they need to win alot of tiebreakers over us, denver and jacksonville.

     

    The next tiebreaker is common games. With 4 teams in the mix, this gets VERY complicated. Too much so for me.

     

    So to answer your question John, at 9-7 Baltimore is still mathematically alive, though they would need alot of help. Theoretically Buffalo Denver and Jacksonville could drop both remaining games and finish 8-8, thereby "earning" baltimore the #6 seed.

     

    Of course the more likely scenario is one of those 4 teams wins out and claims the title at 10-6, but in todays NFL...anything can happen.

  4. Since Pittsburgh lost to Baltimore 30-13 (by 17)

     

    and Baltimore lost to 20-3 AND Cincinnati 27-26 (by 1)

     

    and Cincinnat lost to Buffalo 33 -17 (by 16)

     

    Does that make the Bills the best team in the league??

     

    Would the Bills really win by 34?????

     

    Except we lost to baltimore....so that means...DOH
