If Pittsburgh lost to Baltimore and won out and Baltimore lost one game then they would both be 9-7. But Pittsburgh would have the edge in either divisonal record where PIT 4-2 vs BAL 2-2 or 4-2 and in common games==pittsburgh was 0-2 in noncommon games vs baltimore 1-1..thus Pittsburgh wins common games and is in 2nd place. Buffalo needs Pittsburgh to lose twice.

Yes---NE can still lose next week @ HOU and everything is the same. If they beat HOU....then BUF needs them to lose their next 3 games...against CLE, @ MIA, and @ BAL. NE has been poorer playing on the road. I can see HOU actually beating NE--its a game a team like HOU would show up for pride. Its not as if HOU doesnt have talent on the team --they were a playoff team last year. HOU lost 6 of their 9 loses by 7 points or less. a play here or there the team could easily be 6-5 or 7-4.

Why must Pittsburgh beat Baltimore????????? You want PIT to lose 2....BAL to lose 1 technically Dallas is in 1st place based on H2H.....after one game. Both teams have 6-5 records. Had they played both games at this point and Dallas swept them teams would refer to DAL as 1st place. As of now most people refer to them as tied for 1st. If both teams win out until their week 17 rematch then the winner of that game wins the division...theus PHL and DAL both control their own fate in terms of winning the divison.

I dont have an issue with Bon Jovi being part of an ownership team only if there was local businessmen who invested in the team as well.

Buffalo wins out... Pats hold out to lose tonight Jets lose to the Fins once, or twice to other teams not named MIA and Patriots lose @ MIA in week 15 and week 16 @ BAL Then week 17 is for the division title.

The only locks on teams right now are SEA, CAR, and NO. AZ as of now has one WC spot, if SF wins they will have the other. SF/AZ game could be for a WC spot in week 17 PHL/DAL could be for division title in week 17 GB/CHI could also be for the division title in week 17.

AFC Playoffs...... Baring a mjor collapse....it looks as if NE, CIN, IND, DEN, and KC make the playoffs....one wild card is up for rabs. After games on Sunday November 24.....the last Wild card spot.....C/W and C/L are conference wins/loses (second tiebreaker between teams of different divisions if they havent played each other. team w l C/W C/L 13 14 15 16 17 MIA 5 6 4 3 nyj pit NE buf NYJ NYJ 5 6 2 6 MIA OAK car CLE mia BUF 4 7 3 6 ATL tb jax MIA ne BAL 5 6 5 4 PIT min det NE cin CLE 4 7 3 5 JAX ne CHI nyj pit PIT 5 6 4 4 bal MIA CIN gb CLE TEN 5 6 4 4 ind den AZ jax HOU SD 5 6 3 5 CIN NYG den OAK KC OAK 4 7 4 4 dal nyj KC sd DEN In order to make the playoffs you need to be in 2nd place in your division (3rd place in the west) next 3 weeks Buffalo has by far the easiest schedule where with most teams they play other teams either battling for playoffs or likely in the playoffs. Buffalos wild card shot hasnt changed much.... without getting deep into scenarios.... They need to : 1. win out 2. have Jets lose to Miami in one game or if they beat MIA then lose 2 other games 3. PIT & SD & TEN lose 2 4 OAK & CLE lose one 5 BAL lose 1 or NE lose to DEN and MIA before week 16 NE @ BAL game with #5---it would mean BUF still has a shot at the division title if NE can lose to MIA and either to DEN or at HOU (not both) TEN has 3 difficult games in the next 3 weeks ...they need to lose 2. Their last two are winnable playing JAX and HOU. SD has a difficult stretch playing KC, DEN, CIN, NYG, and OAK PIT has a difficult stretch as well playing at BAL, at GB (with a likely healthy Arron Rodgers), and hosting CIN, MIA, and CLE CLE still has a difficult 4 games left playing at NE as the likely loss. JAx they should win, their other 3 games will be against fellow teams battling for playoff spots. OAK are at DAL and JETS, before playing all their divisional rivals---them losing one isnt that much of a reach. If Jets dont lose to MIA, and only lose one, then it gets into potentially complicated tiebreakers.

here is the problem: the Jets remaining schedule is: at BAL, MIA, OAK, at CAR, CLE, at MIA assuming they sweep MIA.... tie breakers H2H split division 4-2 common beat OAK (Y/N) N---Jets win the tiebreaker based on common they would have gone 0-2 in noncommon vs BUF 1-1...if Y...... conference beat CAR (Y/N)--beat CAR they are 4-0 against NFC thus worse in AFC BUF wins....if N.... strength of schedule BUF (KC=9, JAX=1) NYJ ( OAK=4, TEN=4) everything washes out...combination of more wins wins out. BUF leads If that is tied..... strength of victory (divison opponents can be eliminated since they split each other, w/ NE, and sweep MIA) BUF: BAL, CAR, TB, ATL, JAX NYJ: BAL/CLE, NO, TB, ATL, OAK (the go 4-2--beat MIA twice, W OAK, L CAR, go 1-1 against BAL, CLE, ) TB and ATL elimniate BUF: BAL, CAR, JAX NYJ BAL/CLE, NO, OAK Jets need to lose to BAL, beat CLE, CLE tanks, and OAK tanks. An added wrinkle is if NE finishes out also at 9-7 in a 3 way tie. they do the sorting with 3 teams...then one drops and they restart it with those 2 teams deciding division title, then the loser is in 2nd and possibly a WC. What I hope for is..... NE 8-6...losing to MIA and DEN BUF 7-7 MIA has to lose 1 game at least Jets have to lose 2 games at least....lose to BAL, and hopefully MIA (first meeting) bunch of other teams have 8 loses (very likely)....baltimore competes. BAL 8-6 week 16 MIA at BUF NE at BAL BUF wins they control their own fate before NE/BAL play (assuming no ties of course) If NE win...BUF ahead of BAL IF BAL win...BUF at NE is for the division title.

If its a winner take all divisional game...its likely on NBC --if not it certain to be at 4:25.

common games is the flip of non common games..... Bills played KC (L) and @ JAX Jets its @ TEN (L) and later OAK both going 1-1 or 0-2 means the common game record is the same. Between Bills and Jets... H2H---split Divisional play....BUF has MIa 2 NE, JETS have H &H with MIA BUF wins out they are 4-2, JEts split they are 3-3...tiebreaker to BUF. That is why BUF need the Jets to lose to MIa once. \ After that they need one more additional lose by the Jets and then BUF wins out they will pass the Jets in the standings. barring a major colapse by either club they should be safe as one winning the division and the other as seed #5. If KC beats SD--- SD cant pass KC in the standings. The magic number for eliminating OAK from passing them is 1 (either another KC win or OAK loss ---which could happen on sunday). I think there is a scenario where KC and DEN clinch WC spots with a win and a bunch of teams losing/tying. remember---they need to win the division first. Their rematch against DEN is important. DEN wins that means a sweep and DEN having the first tiebreaker on KC. I honestly dont see the Pats at 13-3. I see them losing to DEN, losing @ MIA, and @ BAL thus potentially creating a BUF-NE division title game in week 17.

Glad you aren't GM.... You keep SJ....WR depth is important. You can go out and sign a G for not much as a FA. Resgn Byrd Keep Pettine Use the 1st on Mack Use your 2nd -4th on WR with height , TE, and OL You can draft a RB late 5,6,7 G, RB, and CB/LB

If Buffalo was able to tie with NE for the division title at 9-7....here is how it matters. If Ne loses to DEN, and BUF beats then in week 17..NE needs to lose 2 of their other 4 to end up 9-7 against @ hou, @ bal, CLE, @ MIA First tiebreaker H2H which would split Second tiebreaker is division record which I am hoping MIA beats NE in week 15. Third tiebreker is common games. This is the flip of non common games Buffalo should go 1-1 (beat JAx, lose to KC) NE has DEN, @ HOU left....if they go 2-0 then BUF wins the tiebreaker, if they go 0-2 then they win the tiebreker if they go 1-1 then its a push Fourth tiebreaker is conference record which is the flip of record agisnst NFC. NE is 3-1 against NFC South...If BUF wins out they will be 3-1 as well so conference record is the same. Fifth tiebreaker is STRENGTH OF VICTORY (IF NE loss to DEN, beats HOU, lose CLE lose BAL, beats MIA, loses to BUF ) If BUF wins out: MIA, MIA, NYJ, NE, TB, CAR, ATL, BAL, JAX for NE MIA, MIA, BUF, NYJ, PIT, TB, ATL, NO, HOU this simplifies to: BUF BAL(4) CAR (7) JAX (1)= 12 NE PIT(4) NO (8) HOU (2) =14 So who comes out ahead in wins between these 3 pairs is the difference for the division title

To add on what you said.... remember placement matters..... Baltimore or Pittsburgh will be in 2nd place... If its Baltimore then Buffalo has the tiebreaker because of a H2H win while Pittsburgh has the thie breaker with a H2H win With the Jets...the split...then its divisional play. If Buffalo beat NE and MIa they are 4-2 in division play. If Jets lose one to Miami Buffalo wins that tiebreaker. The next 4 weeks are key. Buffalo doesnt play other teams they are competing with while all the other teams do---thus they will kill each other off. For buffalo to win out and get to 2nd place..... 1. they need to win out (duh) 2. They need the fins to beat the Jets once 3. they need the fins to lose an additional game 4. They need the Jets to lose an additional game. for Buffalo to play for the division title against New England in addition to above they need: 1. Miami to beat NE in week 15 2. They need NE to lose 2 of their other 4 games (DEN, @ hou, CLE, @BAL) ---DEN and @ BAL are likely. I see Pittsburgh losing to BAL and either CIN or GB With BAL...@ DET and @ CIN (CIN likely would have a bye to play for)---with BAL ----BUF only needs them to lose one game because they have H2H tie breaker on them. Buffalo has by 4 the easiest 4 game stretch coming up in the league. If they can get back to 7-7 then anything can happen. I feel they likely are in the drivers seat of control their own fate.

did you see the video of what happened with Stamkos last weekend?

I remember the Aud being very steep up in the oranges where it felt like I could fall.

This was brought up in the summer. It is a disadvantage if the teams you are playing are coming off extra time to prepare to play you. Teams would have been screaming if one team had to play Thursday on short rest from Sunday while their opponent was coming of a bye. As the stats showed...Buffalo played 6 teams who had extra time while they only had an advantage 1 time and that was when they played thursday night. The week after their bye Atlanta plays thursday of their bye week so the advantage they could have had was wiped out. So each team would have an advantage when they played thursday and the week after their bye.

Are you renting a car? driving to the stadium? driving there that early traffic wouldnt be a problem. When you leave http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-1/Change-to-parking-exit-process-will-improve-postgame-traffic/40fb5838-e38b-480d-826b-91e2227f0d4e http://prod.static.bills.clubs.nfl.com/assets/pdf/stadium-egress.pdf When you exit the stadium from there you will need to go south to Big Tree....assuming you need to go back to the airport....the easier way would be to go Left on Big Tree 219 north I-90 east rte 33 airport an alternate if traffic was seriously backed up there is to stay on Big Tree to Buffalo rd (240) and make a left and this will will fork..take the right fork for Union to 400 to I-90

A concern with him could be the gas/motor..... He could be great for 10-15 plays that are spaced out but he may not be able to play 75%+ of the defensive snaps.

Are you going to the game in full Jets apparel ??? Be respectful. Cheering for your team is fine.....taunting is not....trash talking is not. come 3rd and 4th quarter fights can break out. The big difference in Ralph wilson Stadium compared to elsewhere.... The stadium is built in a suburban residential area. Foxboro may be similar (unsure of the surrounding area there). Around the stadium you have people and some small businesses allow people to park on their property for a fee. There are not many roads to the stadium thus traffic can be bad. Usually the traffic is bad from 930-1100 because fans want to get there early to tailgate and cook lunch and drink some beer. Around 12:00-12:30 people head to the stadium. After the game traffic is worse because people arrived from 9am-12pm and then all want to leave right after. Plan on waiting for about 45 minute to an hour after the game before you try to leave Some opt to set up the grill again and do dinner. Parking at the houses can be fun...over the season you develop friendships there and you have a group party before or after the game. If you make friends with 3 other cars you may coordinate on food and what to bring.

Hockey has the same problem being row 1 or 2. section 116 is the side end zone...the right end zone on the TV screen. A pass/run to that side of the end zone you would be on TV. From there you will have blind spot on the near sideline to you at the far end of the field. You view will be blocked by the visitors bench area and the players/people on that sideline. From roughly mid field on down you will have trouble seeing sideline plays. When looking that way you will see the video screen right in front of you that is the broadcast camera feed of the game as seen on TV Because of your low angle its hard to get depth perception on yardage plays. http://www.channel1media.com/bills/seatviews/

At 9-7 Buffalo will have a much harder team because of H2H and conference record. The Jets dont play well on the road. They hit Buffalo when they were without their top 3 CBs and basically played the game of throw deep and maybe we will get lucky. Buffalo needs to get to 2nd place forst before any playoff talk can happen. The way they do that is by beating the Jets and Dolphins at home and then have the Jets and Fins split their season series. Thos two things happen and Buffalo wins out they will be in 2nd place (and could be in 1st)

As I said in my other thread.... Buffalo beats the Jets, Jets lose once to Miami.....and Buffalo beats Miami then Buffalo passes the Jets. To get the WC you need to be in 2nd place....

Want a point of reference---look at Washington last year. Thjey started 3-6 with 8 of 9 games one score games that were decided in the 4th quarter. They had a rookie QB They started to turn it around mid season.... this isnt stars coming together this is having the easiest schedule remaining before the finale where they play @ PIT 2-6 NYJ 5-4 bye ATL 2-6 at TB 0-8 at JAX 0-8 MIA 4-4 at NE They should beat the two winless teams...... They should beat MIA and NYJ at home Its not that much of a logical stretch to say they cant beat ATL and PIT.

they trade up to draft him. WRs drafted in the 3rd round or later are viewed as projects....you cant expect them to step up and start as a rookie. Scouting on him was that he was raw---but the parts that were raw were believed to be teachable. I see him being on the team through next years trainging camp and see what happens. He could be cut if he doesnt show improvement.
