JP-era Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 No way Jax loses to Houston at home OR away at Oakland! They finish 10 and 6 and have the tie breaker over us! That first game cost us our season. The owrst part about it is that Jax is a team of SCUMBAGS for that hit! Jack Del Rio should be fired for laughing over the hit on the sidelines.

CajunBillsBacker Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 I hope Jax plays the Colts in the wild card round. Manning will score 40 on their overrated defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsGuyInMalta Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Jeebus, I'm somewhat shocked by the people here. Has this season taught you NOTHING? This team is never out of it. The Jags will lose one of those games, I have a very good feeling about it. The team that could keep us out is the Ravens. If they win tonight, we'll need them to roll over and die against the Steelers and Dolphins. Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramius Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 yes the jags have a direct head to head tiebreaker over us, but i guarantee you, that final AFC playoff spot is gonna be like a 3 team tie or maybe even all 4, so then the normal tie breaker system goes all to hell...

Johnny Coli Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Houston looked pretty good today, and Oakland just put 40 up on the Titans. Jax could lose either one of those games. The Bills aren't giving up and neither should you. They started 0-4 and they're on an amazing streak of 5 straight games scoring over 33 points. The defense and special teams have been sick, absolutely sick. They needed this win on the road in a tough city, and won. I'm getting loaded and I'm going to enjoy it.

TravelingDad48 Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 The answer is in here somewhere - if someone wants to figure out what happens if denver / buffalo / jacksonville all end up 10-6 Good luck ! With the NFL realigning into eight four-team divisions to accommodate the arrival of the Houston Texans, the league adopted new tiebreaking rules. Common opponents will now be the third tiebreaker within a division after head-to-head games and division record because each of the four teams will have 14 common games in the 16-game schedule. The owners also moved the strength-of-victory tiebreaker ahead of the strength-of-schedule tiebreaker. The six postseason participants from each conference will now be seeded as follows: 1. The division champion with the best record. 2. The division champion with the second-best record. 3. The division champion with the third-best record. 4. The division champion with the fourth-best record. 5. The Wild Card club with the best record. 6. The Wild Card club with the second-best record. The following procedures will be used to break standings ties for postseason playoffs and to determine regular-season schedules. NOTE: Tie games count as one-half win and one-half loss for both clubs TO BREAK A TIE WITHIN A DIVISION If, at the end of the regular season, two or more clubs in the same division finish with identical won-lost-tied percentages, the following steps will be taken until a champion is determined. Two Clubs 1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs). 2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division. 3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games. 4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference. 5. Strength of victory. 6. Strength of schedule. 7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed. 8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed. 9. Best net points in common games. 10. Best net points in all games. 11. Best net touchdowns in all games. Three or More Clubs (Note: If two clubs remain tied after third or other clubs are eliminated during any step, tie breaker reverts to step 1 of the two-club format). 1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games among the clubs). 2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division. 3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games. 4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference. 5. Strength of victory. 6. Strength of schedule. 7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed. 8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed. 9. Best net points in common games. 10. Best net points in all games. 11. Best net touchdowns in all games. TO BREAK A TIE FOR THE WILD-CARD TEAM If it is necessary to break ties to determine the two Wild-Card clubs from each conference, the following steps will be taken. 1. If the tied clubs are from the same division, apply division tie breaker. 2. If the tied clubs are from different divisions, apply the following steps. Two Clubs 1. Head-to-head, if applicable. 2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference. 3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four. 4. Strength of victory. 5. Strength of schedule. 6. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed. 7. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed. 8. Best net points in conference games. 9. Best net points in all games. 10. Best net touchdowns in all games. 11. Coin toss. Three or More Clubs (Note: If two clubs remain tied after third or other clubs are eliminated, tie breaker reverts to step 1 of applicable two-club format.) 1. Apply division tie breaker to eliminate all but the highest ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to step 2. The original seeding within a division upon application of the division tie breaker remains the same for all subsequent applications of the procedure that are necessary to identify the three Wild-Card participants. 2. Head-to-head sweep. (Applicable only if one club has defeated each of the others or if one club has lost to each of the others.) 3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference. 4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four. 5. Strength of victory. 6. Strength of schedule. 7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed. 8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed. 9. Best net points in conference games. 10. Best net points in all games. 11. Best net touchdowns in all games. 12. Coin toss. When the first Wild-Card team has been identified, the procedure is repeated to name the second Wild-Card, i.e., eliminate all but the highest-ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to step 2, and repeated a third time, if necessary, to identify the third Wild Card. In situations where three or more teams from the same division are involved in the procedure, the original seeding of the teams remains the same for subsequent applications of the tie breaker if the top-ranked team in that division qualifies for a Wild-Card berth. OTHER TIE-BREAKING PROCEDURES 1. Only one club advances to the playoffs in any tie-breaking step. Remaining tied clubs revert to the first step of the applicable division or Wild-Card tie breakers. As an example, if two clubs remain tied in any tie-breaker step after all other clubs have been eliminated, the procedure reverts to step one of the two-club format to determine the winner. When one club wins the tie breaker, all other clubs revert to step 1 of the applicable two-club or three-club format. 2. In comparing division and conference records or records against common opponents among tied teams, the best won-lost-tied percentage is the deciding factor since teams may have played an unequal number of games. 3. To determine home-field priority among division titlists, apply Wild-Card tie breakers. 4. To determine home-field priority for Wild-Card qualifiers, apply division tie breakers (if teams are from the same division) or Wild-Card tie breakers (if teams are from different ivisions).

They'll report that they're 0-1 against the Texans this year and that Collins threw 5 TDs today, while Jax's 28 points were the highest they've managed in 2 years. This thing is not over. Let me guess, when the score was 35-3, you left the game (or turned off the TV), because reality said that no other team ever came back from a 32 point deficeit. Nobody ever said being a Bills fan was easy, but conceding the season two weeks early is pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
