Kelly would take a role similar to elway or magic with the dodgers.

Kell and a group could... Pagula can as well. Jacobs could play a part in the purchase having minority ownership stake. I see something where Kelly is the figure head with Pegula putting down 40%, Jacobs 10-20%, and Kellys group the rest.

Levitre or Byrd....they both will be be a max effort to keep with possibly one being franchised. McKelvin will be kept if the terms are right. Same with Jones. McKelvin will get more interest from the league because of his return ability. Jones will not get any wow offer from around the league that will make him go. Alot of this also depends on what is in the market next year.

Buffalo will need help of course...... The second column is the number of wins of opponents which directly correlated to strength of schedule the final column are their wins. week 16 matters most come week 17 the number of wins can only increase by 2 because of divisional play so its driven by the teams noncommon opponents winning or losing. On MNF TEN wins then they stay where they are...if they lose they move to tied for 4th with philadelphia. This is tracking current teams opponents performance...not the teams they have played so far. With opponents you know who they will be playing for strength of schedule. So you cant be reading JAX playing NE next week so their win total will jump up. The only adjustment from week to week will be based on the teams they play and their performance for that week. For example since Buffalo played both tennesee and JEts this season...tomorrows MNF game will add 1 if Tenn wins, will add 2 if Jets win, will add 1.5 if they tie. 1 112 KC 2 2 120 JAX 2 3 104 OAK 4 4 115 PHL 4 5 126 DET 4 6 100 SD 5 7 109 BUF 5 8 112 CLE 5 9 114 TEN 4 10 115 CAR 5 11 125 AZ 5 If I recall correctly... SD-OAK and JAX-TEN close the season playing each other.

why not they haver to evaluate the players they have since there is nothing to play for ....

10 run rule now in effect

Tavaras Jackson starts next week....

What in the world would they do---for a klondike bar?

When did a 10-10 game become a barn burner ?!?!?!?

I know i am grasping for the positives....

The blocked the XP--they should allow teams to return them.....

He makes a play of over 10 yards they pull him to rest him.

They won the coin toss....

What is the most consecutive plays Spiller has been on the field lined up at RB?

What is captain checkout now thinking?

The playoff scenarios..... 1. Atlanta clinched division and a bye. Clinch home field with a win or both GB and Sf lose a game. 2. With a win tonight 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....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 with the lose today. 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. There are a ton other scenarios if all the WC teams are 9-7. For the AFC assuming NE loses tonight 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. IF NE wins For the wild card. Indy clinches WC with a win or losses by INDY loses a 9-7 tie with Jets based on H2H JETS over CIN due to conf record PIT over JETS due to H2H 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. IF the JETS are tied with PIT/CIN and INDY at 9-7 then JETS get in first due to better conference record in a 3 team tie. BALT has clinched the WC spot due to conference record. SF needs one win to clinch a WC spot (or a bunch of teams losing).

AFC NORTH BAL win next week against Giants they clinch division due to tiebreakers on Steelers and Bengals at 10 wins. assuming PIT wins against DAL... BAL lose next week the CIN/PIT winner can win the division with a week 17 win and a BAL week 17 loss. Thus a CIN win against PIT and BAL loss means CIN/BAL division title game. IF PIT loses at DAL.... PIT is eliminated for division title. They can still get a WC. next week a BAL win or CIn loss means division title for BAL AFC SOUTH HOU clinched division . They need to win and have NE lose today or next week for home field. AFC WC IND 9-5---WC clinched with win CIN 8-6--for WC Win next week + JETS loss+ either W or PIt lose to today or CLE PIT 7-6 NYJ 6-7--lose tiebreaker with PIt, win tiebreaker against IND, ver CIn based on conference record SD, MIA and BUF still mathematically alive. PIT win against DAL eliminates them all. NFC SOUTH Atlanta has clinched a bye. They need a win or a loss each by SF and GB to clinch home field. NFC NORTH Green Bay has clinched the division Minnesota is ahead of Chicago in standings. Minnesota wins out they finish in 2nd place wihich will matter in tiebreakers. NFC EAST Giants loss and WASH/\ win means Giants are no longer in first place. They lose tiebreakers to both teams. DAL wins this afternoon they fo ahead of the Giants. Washington has edge on DAL in terms of tiebreakers. NFC WEST SAN FRAN magic number is 2---win and a seattle loss or any other combination of wins and loses between them and Seattle. NFC WC STL, NO, and TB are still mathematically alive but their scenarios are win out and everyone else losing. SEA 8-5 (has wins against CHI, MIN, DAL) They cant clinch with a win today. WAS (currently leading NFC EAST) , NYG, MIN, CHI 8-6 (WAS beat MIN, CHi beat DAL) DAL 7-6

Not a basket case? The bills do not need to draft a WR or RB in the first 3 rounds. It's QB, LB and DB .

Image if canids or niagara were the ones who hired the gonzaga basketball coach or one of his assistants. Had they did that, and thus had a good team like gonzaga o even butler they would be prime candidates to get to join this potential big east offshoot league that is talked about.

It has happened already....

next week...... 1. Green Bay wins ---green bay clinches division they are assured of at least 5 win divisional record thus a tie breaker with Minnesota and H2H sweep pver Chicago gets them ahead of Chicago. 2. Atlanta wins and GB and SF lose---clinch home field. 3. San Francisco wins and Seattle loses --San Fran clinches division title. a win clinches a WC. 4. Houston---doesnt matter what they do tonight--- win next week over Indy clinches division title. If they win tonight and win next week against Indy they clinch home field. 5, Indy clinches WC with win next week, or they lose and others lose they cant clinch.

Actually what hasnt been talked about much but should be has to do with the scheduling format. Back in the 70s.... the format was the 1st place teams played the other 2 divisions 1st and 4th place teams, their division teams, and 4 interleague games. Thus a defending first place team got to 5 games against 4 week 4th place teams to play. Say they went 6-2 in division, 3-1 within conference and 2-2 within division they ended up 11-5....likely in playoffs. The second and third place teams played each other thus instead of going 3-1 within conference they would go 2-2 and thus finish 10-6 and stuck in 2nd place. During this time you tended to have strong teams stay strong thus you had some domination by Miami, Pittsburgh, Dallas and Oakland. During the late 80s and 90s they went with a different format. The 5th place teams tended to play 5th place teams and 3rd, and 4th place teams. In interleague they played 2nd -5th place teams. The first place teams played other 1st place teams and a 2nd and 3rd place team and in interleague they played the top 1st-4th place teams. Thus the first and last place teams played 5 different teams and a strong difference in strength of schedule. thus during this time you tended to have a worst to first change over in results in standings from year to year. Post 2001 with the 4 division/4 team format they reverted back to the very similar strength format in the schedule. During this time you had teams that have been perenial division winners. Why...because of the sameness in the results of the schedule. the teams have 14 of 16 games the same. If they changed the scheduling format to something like within conference the 3rd and 4th place teams played the other 3rd and 4th place teams and the 1st and 2nd place teams played the 1st and 2nd place teams this means 6 games different and thus you will then restore more of the worst to first from season to season. If you dont believe me ...look back and the 3 eras of scheduling and see how much stability their was in playoff teams from year to year...or long dominance of teams like making playoffs 4 of 5 years or 5 of 7 years. the years they missed could be attributed to some key player injuries and a scheduling fluke where they had a much more difficult home/road schedule where location against the more difficult teams matter.

What i have seen in games around the league is that its been the best of times and the worst of times for teams that shows not much separates some teams from being playoff teams. Here are some examples: Detroit 7 of their 8 loses so far have been by one score, the other loss by 10 pts (still close game). If they lose tonight it would be 8 of 9. Were they able to win half of these games they lost they would be right in the heart of wild card races. I wouldnt be too surprised to see them bounce back next year and still be in the playoff hunt. Indianapolis 8 of their 9 wins have been by one score. 5 of those wins were second half deficits. I wouldnt be surprised if they take a step back next year in part because teams adjust to a new QB and learn their tendencies after a season. Cleveland 6 of their 8 loses they had the ball with the lead or a chance to take a lead from late in the third quarter on. One loss was by 7 but still close game, In that other loss they had a multiple score lead early in the game. New Orleans Their coach being suspended and the defense being in chaos killed this season. Of their 8 loses, 6 of them were close/competitive games that had they won haalf of those they would be 8-5 instead of 5-8. i wouldnt be surprised to see them bounce back next year if Sean Payton is their head coach. Carolina 7 of their 9 loses were by 8 pts or less so they had a lot of close loses. Part of this could be attributed to a sophmore slump by Cam so if he bounces back next year the team could be back in the playoff hunt. Philadelphia another team that lost alot of close games. 4-5 of their loses they could have won with a play or two.

i was at that game.....mobility in a QB is a good thing. The issue was with his height. A lot of teams thought he had talents---just too much risk for a high 3rd round pick. He would have been picked in the 4th or 5th round by most teams. Also to add...look at the reaction of many on this board when comparing TJ Graham to passing him over based on first year performance. I will be if we drafted him he would be riding the bench and someone will complain why we didnt draft someone else in the third round.

Kelly made as much in one series as these two players maKE in one season. It will be interesting to see if this case goes similar to the Danny Heatly case DWI case.
