Ned Flanders Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Saw this in Matthews' column today: History says the Buffalo Bills victory Sunday in Kansas City was significant in terms of playoff hopes. According to Pro Football Prospectus 2008, since the 17-week format began in 1990 (and excluding the 18-week format in 1993), teams starting 6-5 made the playoffs 50 percent of the time and teams starting 5-6 made the playoffs 10.3 percent of the time. So, basically it's a coin flip right now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Looks grim. Quite to the contrary, SHE looks fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Being 0-3 in the division dont help our chances at all....... If we are not going to make the playoffs, id rather be worse then 11-5 due to better draft position. I've seen this sentiment quite a bit all over the place, but if we win the next 3 division games we're 3-3 in the division. Had we won the 3 games and were currently 3-0 in the division and then lost the final three we'd still be 3-3. My point is... we're not out, but our backs are against the wall. Should we win out, it should be enough to allow us to catch the Pats* and pass the Fins. With Baltimore having a tough schedule, it's likely they lose a few. Hence, I'd say the 6th seed is very possible. Of course, providing we take care of business which starts with a win against San Fran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tornado681 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 We REALLY need the Broncos to do us a huge favor this week and bring the Jets within one game. I could def see both the Jets and NE losing this week. DEN isn't a bad team. And PIT is getting healthy again. We just need to have Brett Favre Brett Favre Brett Favre stop playing two standard devs. above where he should be playing. MIA concerns me less because we control our destiny against them.
