I don’t recall…are you part of fire coach threads?

Colts have the tiebreaker because colts beat Texans earlier in the year. game tied colts in 1st jax tie/ win they get division.

You could go with a rotating 8 team division. you play H-H against each for 14 games with 2 byes Round 1 division winner gets a bye. Then 2-7, 3-6,4-5 play each other in round 2 of playoffs round 2 is top team and 3 survivors round 3 is quarterfinals in a bracket where 2 division teams won’t meet again until Super Bowl round 4 semifinals round 5 Super Bowl

If they did such a format….it’s more likely going to be… 2 16 team conferences you play 12 or 13 of the 15 teams with a pre-set cycle of what 2/3 teams you don’t play over a 6/5 yr period then you play 4-5 games against NFC teams on a set rotation for 8 yrs. The 5th game could be a “ rivalry” game such as cross city/ state rivals and Super Bowl rematch’s, conf finals losers face each other.

GO TIE

Why is Buffalo airing jets-cheats game??? This is utterly meaningless. Tampa bay is playing for something st least.

hoe buffalo in first meeting did stuff to limit what Miami did limiting them to 20 points. Buffalo didn’t run up the score. Buffalo exposed the Eagles defense thst other teams have repeatedly done that they have yet to adjust. yes— all teams are researched for tendencies in situations and plays by formation. With some..thry don’t care and say try to stop us.

as a #2 or #6 or #7? as #2….. host Indy/ hou Mia at KC cle at south if Mia can best KC …think it’s possible, buffalo host 4/5. 50/50 shot at hosting championship game if KC wins, buf host them.CLE would be problem for balt. Buffalo could host CLE. as #7 seed…BUF/MIA rematch, then to BAL, then at whose left. This could be harder.

Saturday #6 /7 at Lions ( nbc) #5 browns at AFC South ( peastream) Sunday #7 at #2 AFC #7 /6 at NFC East #6 at Chiefs Monday eagles/cowboys at nfc south DIVISION Saturday At Ravens Other NFC game Sunday At AFC 2nd highest seed NFC 5/ 4 winner vs ???

sigh…… for a 53 man roster….. 23 offense — 2 QB, 3 RB, 9 OL, 5 WR, 3 TE , 1 wildcard position. 23 Defense — 8 DL, 1, DE/LB, 4 LB, 9 DBs, 1 wildcard position P K LS 2 ST captains 2 other spots ( 1 is usually a K/P returner) if that ST captain is a FB so be it.

AWS did not program the games. the “national” games are set before the schedule is filled out. Thr “ national” games sre those on nbc, espn, Amazon, 425 feature games, and thanksgiving/ Saturday games, as well as international games. Others are plugged in as blocks like you see weekends you might have 3 games in east/ central/ north at west team set for the same weekend….this isn’t the luck of computing. They have a set of 120 team pairs they can choose from. the computational complexity makes it difficult to run programs to do.

Similar to why MVP=best QB. the fact he almost died and didn’t retire, but return to play, speaks much more than stats.

Again…. buffalo splits WL to get to 10 wins they can’t have 2 other WC teams at 10 wins other than Cleveland snd thrmselbes. the teams that can get to 10 wins by WW are Cincinnati. At KC, CLE Pittsburgh at SEA, at BAL Jacksonville CAR ( without Lawrence Sunday), at TEN houston/ Indy where only 1 can due to thrm playing each other in week 18. This week houston has Ten, indy has raiders both Cincinnati and Pittsburgh have difficult closing schedules to go WW in. If MIA W, then BAL/CLE are battling for div title and these games are at the same time likely on different networks. IF JAX L, then only the div winner could have 10 W

The viewership doesn’t include to Canadian side

As I said before…in other threads…..a W and 2 of the following occur…. 1. CIN L/T 2. PIT L/T 3. Either JAX L OR HOU and IND both L It guaranteed only at most 1 other team can get to 10 wins in a WC spot other than BUF and CLE screw ties…….. these still apply for week 18 if BUF only win one of next 2 games. In week 18 HOU/IND face each other

This was an injury that takes 18+ months for 100% recovery.

That is priority #1 in a choice. HOU/IND if they both W can be for a WC or div title BUFW/MIA L can be for div title but they could be stuck in a WC rematch so neither may be playing their stars.

No….. Bille win Mimi lose is for the division….it likely will be on Saturday night. If on Sunday , one team coukd rest starters if thry know win or lose they play each other again the following week in a 3-6/2-7 game. winner take all games are the candidates. For example…. Rams -49ers. Rams E for WC. 49ers win for bye. if KC lose bnext week and both DEN and Vegas W thrn the den/ vegas win get division if kc lose. Kc/ LA game could be on Sunday night if JAX L, and hours/ Indy win thrn hou/ Indy winner gets division title or go home. pitt/ balt could be a game where pitt must win for WC, they lose another team can get it while balt Ned’s to win for div/ bye There are scenarios where team needs to win for playoffs, lose they are out.

Dallas- miami 9 pm Detroit- minnesota overnight Wed bills-chargers at 3 pm We’d balt-SF 9 pm GB-CAR overnight

I know a dolphin fan who is civil. He married my SIL niece.

Advances in surgery has occurred. Thry used to cut your knee open now they can do it with minor cutting. with television and advancement of college sports you are finding bigger guys and better athletes. Years ago black guys didn’t play…

I expect Epenesa and Hyde will be playing in WC game . I hope Jones returns for WC. Elam activation depends on other injuries.

Moving goal posts here… we are talking of clinching next week. But yes similar logic applies over both weeks. Buffalo W one for 10 wins snd others lose games so they can’t get to 10 wins. right now PIT, CIN, JAX, and HOU/IND can get to 10 wins with one of the latter 2 being division champ. You only want at most of the WC spots that get to 10. Tie/loss by 2 of PIT, CIN, JAX or both HOU/IND L accomplish that after next week. buffalo can get in at 9-8 if it’s just them and KC or LV tied for last spot
