AFC #6 Cincinati at #3 BALT/NE/HOU/DEN #5 Indianpolis at # 4 BALT/NE #1 HOU/DEN/NE #2 HOU/DEN/NE HOU/DEN/NE scenarios: W/W/W HOU DEN NE W/W/L HOU DEN NE (*) W/L./W HOU NE DEN W/L/L HOU DEN NE (*) L/W/W DEN NE HOU L/W/L DEN HOU NE (*) L/L/W NE HOU DEN L/L/L HOU DEN NE (*) (*) If BALT wins then they get #3 seed and NE is #4 seed.

yes If JETS win and MIA lose.....tied at 7-9...tiebreaker to Jets based on divisional record. Bills cant catch the Jets If BILLS beat the JETS.... tied at 6-10....divisional record tied at 2-4....common games record the Jets would be 6-8, buffalo 4-10...so Jets in 3rd place. Bills in 4th.

An add on for opponents scheduling.....the only placements to be decided are: AFC Jets win, MIA lose..JETS in 2nd. BUF clinched 4th place. NFC: Giants in 2nd or 3rd DAL in 1st/2nd, or 3rd WAS in 1sst or 2nd MIN & CHI in 2nd or 3rd SEA/SF in 1st or 2nd NO 2nd/3rd CAR 2nd/3rd/4th TB 3rd/4th --IF CAR beat NO they end up in 2nd place due to H2H sweep. 2013 opponents: http://www.johnnyroadtrip.com/schedules/nflopponents.htm

If Tempo was closed today...couldnt it have been last night...oh wait he was in Detroit doing a game. Is this possible.....sure.....Gruden is done for the season now.

As of now the order is: 1. KC 2 122 2. JAX 2 129 3. OAK 4 112 4. PHL 4 122 5. DET 4 137 6. BUF 5 117 7. CLE 5 120 8. TEN 5 123 9. AZ 5 135 10.SD 6 110 11. JETS 6 121 12. TB 6 121.5 13. CAR 6 124 These numbers are taking into account next weeks opponents. The only things that will change order will be the indivivual teams game played and their non common opponents games. The games against their other division foes and the two divisions they played wash out. the other within division will adds 2pts, the division within conference will add 2 pts, interconference division add 2 pts. everyone will increase by: With BUF and CLE since they finished in the same position last year...BUF noncommons are CLE and KC, CLE noncommon are BUF and INDY....thus CLE can not pass BUF in draft order. THE best CLE can do is gain 1 pt on BUF. 6+ (their own game results L=1, W=0) + their noncommon opponent A win (W=1)+ their noncommon opponent B win (win =1) Thus a difference of more than 3 can not be made up if both teams lost... for example if BUF and TEN both lost TEN cannot pass Buffalo because the difference is 6. Similarly if BUlost and OAK won they cant pass OAK....difference too great. For #4 BUF loses, DET and PHL both win. For #5 BUF loses and either DET or PHL lose. IF BUF were to win the lowest possible they can go is #10 ...The Jets cant get ahead of them.

AFC Houston win for home field #1 seed Denver win and Houston loss then they get #1 seed New England...they win and DEN and HOU lose then they are #1, and HOU #2. Baltimore win plus New England loss makes BALt #3 and NE #4. Wild cards are locked in at #5 IND and #6 CIN. IND has tiebreaker with common games if they were tied at 10-6. NFC Atlanta has wrapped up home field Green Bay wins they get #2 San Fran needs to win and Green Bay lose to get #2. Dallas-Washington game winner gets division title. If Seattle wins and SF loses then Seattle wins the division. Wild Card Seattle has clinched one wild card....and the #5 seed at least. Minnesota wins they clinch WC Chicago wins and MIN loses they clinch WC Giants win, DAL lose, CHI lose, and MIN lose to clinch WC If WAS loses to DAL---they clinch at least a WC if CHI and MIN lose (H2H or conf record). DAL is eliminated with a loss. MIN gets WC if GIANTS, DAL, and CHI lose

For wild card in NFC Seattle win one they earn a spot Minnesota win next week they get wild card Chicago win and Minnesota lose to get wild card Cowboys -redskins...winner gets division, Washington loss they still have wild card shot. Giants win and 3 of the 4: Dallas, Chicago, Minnesota lose, Seattle lose 2

I can see the 61 yd run have him go out for a breather.....

Also how the schedule will be set up next week.... Bears and Vikings should be at the same time. If Seattle beats the 49ers they need to be at the same time. Cincinati-baltimore and Indy-houston will be at the same time with KC-Denver. Because of seeding with wild card teams and division winners.

I'm not home right now so I can't update the Standings till tonight... If the bills do beat the jets im near certain they can't pass the jets...steelers non common games were steelers and chargers...combined 13 wins...bills played chiefs and browns...a combined 7 wins.

Nfl decides... Owner doesn't. The only other games posdble given Chicago and baltimoe winning...making Indy Baltimore game next week meaningless is Green bay at Minnesota.....minnesota wins they get the WC Minnesota could back in with earlier game results. Dallas Washington with giants losing is a game where the winner gets the division title.

Because viewership will drop. Saturday is a day people can go out. Sunday and Monday nights you have more viewers at home..with Sunday being the mosts eyes watching of any night in the week.

It will be Dallas at Washington.

Fourth quarter. Rules apply. Since it was earlier then no...had it been under 2 minutes then yes.

This is true....stars are considered great if they play on great teams but they are an afterthought if they play on bad teams. Is it the talent or the coach? What complicates it even more is that if you have alot of talent but the system isnt designed towatd the talent you have then your team will under perform. Here a problem with the OPs argument.... If the issue is not having a great QB then why not draft for one? Why not trade for one...wait they did do that... The biggest factor by far in young QB development is having stability in coach/off coordinator. What people forgot with Alwx Smith and JP Losman is that in their first 4 years they had a different OC each year. The many examples of UDA success/failure with a new team has alot to do with how well they match the system or the new team tailors their approcah to the players strengths.

The DC is to blame.... his defense is set designed on having great LBs and DTs who are more blocking stuffers than athletes/ The DTs contain the blockers so the LBs are free to make plays. This has been apparent in dareus' play this season compared to last. He is doing what he is being told which isnt trying to get to the RB/QB and tackle them. Cardinal rule in the NFL for success---you have to design your plays around the talent you have and their strength--not have them conform to your system,,,,,when drafting/signing players you want them to conform to your system. They keep Byrd and go out and draft/sign a LB or two and bring in a new DC they will be fine next year.

I wonder what is happeneing now witht he whole Toronot game thing after reading Woods comments. Any reason Buffalo hasnt played a game in the Carrier Dome , even a preseason game? If you are talking about marketing the team in the broader area it makes a lot of sense. On a similar bent--- What s the different in capcity between there and Tornoto? Would there be more crowd noise if they played in Hamilton? Why not rotate it? Would it make sense to put a forecasted dud game into a small venue like there that may generate a sell out?? If they were in last place I dont recall which divison would be a home game between KC and JAX...put a December game there.

The reason for the Titans was because of hasselback starting...hes better than locker but has to ride the bench. Other issue was poor decisions by Gailey. With the Jets they were actually motivated..not because of something buffalo did byt what the NY press did just prior to the oponenr and totally tipped them apart which motivated them. Since then you saw the real Jets.

arent you supposed to be working on the defense Wanny instead of posting here?

They need to hire someone who is a 4-3 guy. This team really isnt all that far from being competitive for a playoff spot. They dont need whole sale personnel changes. 1. keep the key UFAs (mcKelvinincluded) 2. get a UFA LB and draft a LB 3. get + draft a QB. 4. I think they are good at WR when healthy. a UFA at WR would be a plus but look at what happened with Meachanm in SD this season---what a disaster. 5. and has been said many times...change HC and DC. I really wonder what if they were anle to keep Fewell as DC when they hired Gailey and all gaily had to do was focus on offense.

What you have done is an incorrect measure. You need to look at who their future opponents are for proper sorting otherwise it will be chaotic the final weekend. This isnt a strength of victory but a strength of schedule---you know the schedule. after week 16 games it will not change much because of divisional play. Based on results of the game they played and the games of their non common opponets...thus after week 16 games teams cant be caught if the win differential in 4 or more wins. if tied a coin flip will determine order. Placement in divisional races does not matter. order--opponent wins-- current record--lat 2 games---2 non common games 1 112 KC 2 12 ind den buf ind 2 122 JAX 2 12 ne ten cin oak 3 105 OAK 4 10 car sd jax mia 4 115 PHL 4 10 was nyg det az 5 127 DET 4 10 atl chi phl car 6 100 SD 5 9 jets oak ten jets 7 110 BUF 5 9 mia jets kc cle 8 112 CLE 5 9 den pit ind buf 9 114 TEN 5 9 gb jax pit sd 10 115 CAR 5 9 oak no chi sea 11 125 AZ 5 9 chi sf atl phl

The diffference.....Bills quit...the Jets actually were trying. Hasselback is the better QB now but they used a first on Locker so he needs to play to see what he has. Had buffalo faced Locker instead of hasselback they likely win that game.

The playoff scenarios..... 1. Atlanta clinched division and a bye. Clinch home field with a win or both GB 2. SF is in first place in NFC West. magic number is 1 to clinch division. 3. Green Bay clinched division. 4. NFC East leader. Giants lost control of division....if Washington and Dallas both win next week their game in week 17 decided the division title between then. Giants can do nothing. The only scenario is Giants win and DAL-WAS tie. Giants have many tiebreakers for the wild card with best conference record. They win out they will get at least a WC. Seattle wins out they get a WC at least...they win out and SF lose to AZ they get division. Seattle can clinch a WC with a win and losses by WAS and NYG. Minnesota wins out they will be in second place so Chicago is in a major hole . Minnesota needs to win out and have Giants lose 1 or Seattle lose twice. Chicago can get in to the WC slot if they win out and Minn and NYG lose 1 game or Seattle lose 2 games. There are a ton other scenarios if all the WC teams are 9-7. For the AFC 1. Houston has division...win clinches home field 2. Denver...clinch bye magic number is 2 between then and NE. 3. New England..can sill get a bye or home field by winning out and ending up in a tie with DEN and/or HOU 4. Baltimore....magic number 1 for division. They beat the Giants they wrap up the division. A loss and Cin win then week 17 matchup is for the division title. Balt has clinched a WC. For the wild card. Indy clinches WC with a win or a PIt loss tie breakers between INDY and either CIN or PIT at 9-7 will be based on strength of victory due to conference record and common games record tied. PIT wins out they get the WC. IF all tied at 9-7 which means IND LL, CIN LW, and PIT WW. PIT gets 2nd place over CIN due to season H2H sweep. PIT looks as if their strength of victory will be better than IND. As of now SV wins are 58 to 50. thus PIt has a good shot of earning the wild card. Then IND is compared with CIN is 50 to 47. they also would come to strength of victory. A cincinati win means all playoff spots are locked up. a baltimore win means all division titles are locked up.

I wouldnt take him unless he went down to round 4. RBs are a dime a dozen.....

AS of now.....Buffalo is #7If they lose 2 games the most realistic position they can make is #5...they can make #3.After next week the order is pretty set because little fluctuation in strength of victory can occur. because of the schedule being you play your division and then two other divisions and 2 positional games...and thy close with all divisional games....it means the only fluctuation will occur with the teams non common games and how they do in their game.1 112 KC 2 12 ind den buf ind2 122 JAX 2 12 ne ten cin oak3 105 OAK 4 10 car sd jax mia4 115 PHL 4 10 was nyg det az5 127 DET 4 10 atl chi phl car6 100 SD 5 9 jets oak ten jets7 110 BUF 5 9 mia jets kc cle8 112 CLE 5 9 den pit ind buf9 114 TEN 5 9 gb jax pit sd10 115 CAR 5 9 oak no chi sea11 125 AZ 5 9 chi sf atl phl
