Well, never really thought this would go this far...but here we are going into week 15 and we are still (mathematically) alive for the playoffs. At 8-5 Cincinnati Bengals (Ind, Den, Pit) Jacksonville Jaguars (Ten, NE, KC) At 7-6 New York Jets (Min, Mia, Oak) Kansas City Chiefs (SD, Oak, Jax) Denver Broncos (Arz, Cin, SF) At 6-7 Buffalo Bills (Mia, Ten, Bal) Pittsburgh Steelers (Car, Bal, Cin) (Note: Ten and Mia not included because if Buffalo wins out, Ten and Mia will both lose at least one game). So, Wow. Do we still have a chance? I see a realistic scenario where EVERY team above us in the wild card chase loses next week. Wouldnt that be interesting? Trouble scenario I see however, is that the following games are still to be played: Jacksonville/Kansas City Cincinnati/Denver That will provide 2 teams above us with very critical wins. A Denver win means they would likely need to lose to both Arizona and San Fran to miss the playoffs. Likewise, a Cincinnati win means Cincinnati will need to beat either Denver or Pit to guarantee playoff spot. Similar situation exists in the Jax/KC game. Things are getting interesting, but Jacksonville beating Indianapolis today hurt us ALOT.

What happened to devendorf? Tuned in late

The fact we even have to talk about this makes me laugh...

wow, a whining coach got his team into the championship game....gee, there is a ringing endorcement for the BS Championship...er i mean BCS

In a related story: Everything on Wikipedia is 100% true

3 of the best teams in the NFL San Diego (Lost by 3) New England (Lost by 2) Indianapolis (Lost by 1) Throw in the first Jets game we could have won, a 3 point loss to detroit, and we are not all that far away from 12-2! Now, we are not a 12-2 team, but if you look at the final scores with some knowledge of the games, we played ALOT of close games. 4 of our losses came by a COMBNED score of 9 points.

How about Anthony Thomas...oh wait...we have him...why dont we USE HIM in short yardage situations?

Okay, have to keep this going. 5 teames are tied for the WC slot at 7-5 (with remaining opponents) Kansas City (BAL, SD, OAK, JAX) .583 winning% Denver (SD, ARZ, CIN, SF) .521 winning% Jets (BUF, MIN, MIA, OAK) .354 winning% Cincinatti (OAK,IND,DEN,PIT) .500 winning% Jacksonville (IND, TEN, NE, KC) .646 winning% Pittsburgh (CLE, CAR, BAL, CIN) - 5-7 and could mathmatically be tied with us at 9-7. Leaving PIT out of the equation, there are 5 teams that need to win 3 of 4 games to beat out buffalo outright, and 2 of 4 games to tie buffalo. As chronicled earlier, Denver is in at 9-7. They have the best AFC record by far. They SHOULD make the playoffs, but with a rookie QB, who knows.... The Jets have a good chance as well. Course we have to beat them to stay alive, so they need to lose 1 of the remaining 3 games against pretty easy opponents to stay with us at 9-7. We win the tiebreaker if they lose to either MIA or OAK, otherwise if they lose to minnesota, we are both 7-5 vs. common opponents...and the plot thickens more. Cincinatti also has a good chance. Tough game in INDY. other than that, a winnable schedule. Should they finish 9-7, they would have the same afc record as us. Assuming one of their losses is to IND, we would both be 1-4 vs. common opponents. This is getting difficult. Kansas City and Jacksonville have a tough road to hoe. Both have very difficult schedules (one plays SD and BAL, the other plays IND and NE), and then they play each other week 17. Only one (if any) will be 9-7. Probably insignifigant because both will likely lose a tiebreaker to us based on AFC record. It should be noted the next tiebreaker after common opponents is strength of victory. Lets just say we dont have much hope there unless we destroy some teams down the stretch. If I was a betting man right now (chances of making playoffs) Denver: 70% Jets: 50% Cincinatti: 40% Kansas City: 15% Jacksonvile:10% In sumary: Win out. Destroy a few teams in the process. Key Games: Denver over Cincinatti IND over CIN and JAX SD and BAL over KC MIA over NYJ NE over JAX. All those games above go as planned...we have a CHANCE. But it aint lookin pretty

More to the point, why is there a toe-heel rule? If he was facing the other way, all he needed to get in was his toes. Its a stupid rule.

Good luck paying less than 200 bucks for 16 trips to the sports bar...

I also heard its going to be on ESPN between the ax throwing competition and the world scrabble championship

Dick Juron. 2 wasted timeouts on ONE PLAY. UGH. Refs - Worst officiatd game i have seen this year. Juron didnt help by using all our TOs so early. LT - Amazing Specimin

No, the national title game should be: Boise State plays Ohio State Florida plays Michigan Winner of both games play each other for the national championship.

Cincy win hurts us, no doubt about it. Here is the rooting guide for the rest of this weekends games: 1) Detroit over New England 2) Green Bay over NYJ 3) Jacksonville over Miami 4) Tampa Bay over Pittsburgh 5) Cleveland over Kansas City Seattle/Denver I am unsure about. On one hand, I want them to run away with the first WC slot because we dont have a good chance at beating them out in a 9-7 tie-breaker. On the other hand, a loss for Denver brings them back in the pack. I cant believe they will finish 8-8 though. I think we are better off seeing Denver win today.

You start at the top. This way if you have extra lights, they can be used on the bottom and not look overwhelming. If you wind up with "no chord length", simply utilize an extension cord or grab a short string of lights to finish up. Easy.

Rick Hendricks and Ray Evernham?

Cant imagine anyone trying to scalp Bills tickets. Especially when they are not sold out. Its a losing proposition.

For those with Playoff Hope....I offer you this: It may not seem it now, but there is a big game that could affect the bills being played tonight. A Baltimore win goes a long way towards eliminating the bengals from the playoffs. This is an important step for the bills to make the playoffs. Plus a Baltimore win gets them that much closer to a first round bye, and resting their players for their week 17 game against us. GO RAVENS!

Hmm...LT is a good choice. Wouldnt be suprised at all to see Chad Johnson on there. He is a very marketable commodity these days. Just throwing some other names out there 1. Reggie Bush (Still very markatable, plus has the new orleans thing going for him) 2. Drew Brees (i cant believe his numbers. nearly 20% more passing yards than Peyton manning, who is 2nd!) 3. Larry Johnson 4. Carson Palmer 5. Peyton Manning (he is a marketing whore)

I bet at least 100 dollars of that is to recoup their advertizing budget

no "can you hear me now?" Rigged.

Yeah, and if you cant afford (or have friends you can call who can afford) 2500 bucks, this might be part of your problem. Not to mention, typically bail is only 10 % of that...

This guys nuts. Dont mind our pick, but Tennesee taking ANOTHER running back? How many do they need? Brad Smith is the oldest quarterback in the league? Who is Brad Smith?

amazing that a) someone who makes up an alias to meet women and spreads herpes can be considered the "good brother" b) that we are suprised that he can do something as vile as giving his own fans the finger!
