Kelly the Dog Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) After a quick peek at the nfl schedule this week, I'm pretty sure I will be blasphemous and rooting for the Jets and the Dolphins. I know how criminal that sounds so please convince me otherwise. I'm much more concerned about the Chargers as a potential playoff contender than the Dolphins. And in order for the Dolphins to get to, say, 10-6, they would have to beat us next Thursday, which they are not going to do. They are a 8-8 team, do not have great coaching, and have plenty of holes. So I'm really not worried about them. And if they beat us, we don't really have a great shot at the playoffs either. We need that game. So I think I don't mind the Dolphins being 5-3 going against us if it meant the Chargers who already beat us were 5-4 instead of 6-3. And the Jets are going nowhere so we want them to beat The Chiefs, even though it's highly unlikely. Talk me out of this madness! Edited October 31, 2014 by Kelly the Dog

I think it is just a guess at this point who the Bills should have win. I agree San Diego is better than Miami, but they have an extremely difficult second half schedule. And a more motivated Miami team will not help the Bills on Thursday night. I think only time will tell which was the right outcome. Perhaps a tie.

Kelly the Dog Posted October 31, 2014 Author Posted October 31, 2014 Ugh. Sorry 26. I even looked on the entire front page and read a thread I hadnt read before about the playoff scenarios to make sure this wasn't getting discussed.
Rubes Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Thanks, good stuff there. Nice to be thinking about these things well into November, for a change.

Nice to be thinking about these things well into November, for a change. A most welcome change to be sure.
Dorkington Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Maybe we should take this info from the link, post at least just the teams, (more info at link) and change the title of the thread to "Week 9: Who to root for"

26CornerBlitz Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 I'll gladly change the title, or we can just discuss it in 26's link. Changing the thread title and keeping the discussion here is a good idea IMO.
bigK14094 Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Thanks, good stuff there. Nice to be thinking about these things well into November, for a change. Ahhhhh...its not NOV yet........but, tomorrow, OK!
Rubes Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Ahhhhh...its not NOV yet........but, tomorrow, OK! The implication being, we don't play until a week from Sunday, so not much changes for our playoff tracking until well into November.
Augie Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 That's just so..... Unnatural! I hate Dolphins the most because I would sit by the fire in the basement trying to thaw out as it went from gray to dark outside. The Miami fans were all prancing around in their tee shirts and flip flops basking in the sunshine. How could that not scar a kid? And then was the whole oh-for-the-70's thing. But I will try if I must...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Actually rooting for the Jets or Dolphins would be like making out with my sister. Something forbidden and shameful. That said, I wouldn't mind it if the Jets beat the Chiefs. I'm pulling for San Diego because I think Miami is gaining momentum, and we need them to lose as many games as possible to stay ahead of them in the division. I know most folks are just hoping for a wild card berth, but I think we can win the division.
K D Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 im rooting for the Broncos. AFC East champs or bust!
GG Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 im rooting for the Broncos. AFC East champs or bust! Took the words right outa my mouth. Priorities.
DC Tom Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Never. I'll root for the Dolphins when they play al Qaeda, not before.
YoloinOhio Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 I think the fish are going to get crushed. But would like to see SD get another L.
eball Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Broncs, Fish, and Jets would be the perfect trifecta this weekend.
Direhard Fan Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Can't in my heart root for either team in our division. We still have a shot at first in it. NE looses to Denver and we are all tied up. Not that I like being tied up. Buffalo Rocks!
