Yeah, the Bills Oline hasn't improved at all this year.

There have been several aftershocks an hour in the high 5 and low 6 magnitude rage. This was a doozy!

It looks as though it's been upgraded to a 9.0 magnitude.

Wow, that's incredible. The LA times this morning had it at a 8.5 with I think 400 deaths. This on the heels of a 8.1 off the southern coast of Australia a couple of days ago. Scary stuff, living here in southern California.

The answer is in here somewhere - if someone wants to figure out what happens if denver / buffalo / jacksonville all end up 10-6
Good luck !
With the NFL realigning into eight four-team divisions to accommodate the arrival of the Houston Texans, the league adopted new tiebreaking rules.
Common opponents will now be the third tiebreaker within a division after head-to-head games and division record because each of the four teams will have 14 common games in the 16-game schedule. The owners also moved the strength-of-victory tiebreaker ahead of the strength-of-schedule tiebreaker.
The six postseason participants from each conference will now be seeded as follows:
1. The division champion with the best record.
2. The division champion with the second-best record.
3. The division champion with the third-best record.
4. The division champion with the fourth-best record.
5. The Wild Card club with the best record.
6. The Wild Card club with the second-best record.
The following procedures will be used to break standings ties for postseason playoffs and to determine regular-season schedules.
NOTE: Tie games count as one-half win and one-half loss for both clubs
TO BREAK A TIE WITHIN A DIVISION
If, at the end of the regular season, two or more clubs in the same division finish with identical won-lost-tied percentages, the following steps will be taken until a champion is determined.
Two Clubs
1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs).
2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.
3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games.
4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
5. Strength of victory.
6. Strength of schedule.
7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
9. Best net points in common games.
10. Best net points in all games.
11. Best net touchdowns in all games.
Three or More Clubs
(Note: If two clubs remain tied after third or other clubs are eliminated during any step, tie breaker reverts to step 1 of the two-club format).
1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games among the clubs).
2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.
3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games.
4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
5. Strength of victory.
6. Strength of schedule.
7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
9. Best net points in common games.
10. Best net points in all games.
11. Best net touchdowns in all games.
TO BREAK A TIE FOR THE WILD-CARD TEAM
If it is necessary to break ties to determine the two Wild-Card clubs from each conference, the following steps will be taken.
1. If the tied clubs are from the same division, apply division tie breaker.
2. If the tied clubs are from different divisions, apply the following steps.
Two Clubs
1. Head-to-head, if applicable.
2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.
4. Strength of victory.
5. Strength of schedule.
6. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
7. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
8. Best net points in conference games.
9. Best net points in all games.
10. Best net touchdowns in all games.
11. Coin toss.
Three or More Clubs
(Note: If two clubs remain tied after third or other clubs are eliminated, tie breaker reverts to step 1 of applicable two-club format.)
1. Apply division tie breaker to eliminate all but the highest ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to step 2. The original seeding within a division upon application of the division tie breaker remains the same for all subsequent applications of the procedure that are necessary to identify the three Wild-Card participants.
2. Head-to-head sweep. (Applicable only if one club has defeated each of the others or if one club has lost to each of the others.)
3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.
5. Strength of victory.
6. Strength of schedule.
7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
9. Best net points in conference games.
10. Best net points in all games.
11. Best net touchdowns in all games.
12. Coin toss.
When the first Wild-Card team has been identified, the procedure is repeated to name the second Wild-Card, i.e., eliminate all but the highest-ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to step 2, and repeated a third time, if necessary, to identify the third Wild Card. In situations where three or more teams from the same division are involved in the procedure, the original seeding of the teams remains the same for subsequent applications of the tie breaker if the top-ranked team in that division qualifies for a Wild-Card berth.
OTHER TIE-BREAKING PROCEDURES
1. Only one club advances to the playoffs in any tie-breaking step. Remaining tied clubs revert to the first step of the applicable division or Wild-Card tie breakers. As an example, if two clubs remain tied in any tie-breaker step after all other clubs have been eliminated, the procedure reverts to step one of the two-club format to determine the winner. When one club wins the tie breaker, all other clubs revert to step 1 of the applicable two-club or three-club format.
2. In comparing division and conference records or records against common opponents among tied teams, the best won-lost-tied percentage is the deciding factor since teams may have played an unequal number of games.
3. To determine home-field priority among division titlists, apply Wild-Card tie breakers.
4. To determine home-field priority for Wild-Card qualifiers, apply division tie breakers (if teams are from the same division) or Wild-Card tie breakers (if teams are from different ivisions).
First, I'm not even going to read that....my head may explode and second did you figure that all out by yourself? If you did you may want Santa to deliver you a hobby for Christmas.

so, what you're saying is Pot won't make an already violent person non-violent? Well, no kidding.
But if you take GuyA and GuyB, both who are not violent by nature, and feed GuyA 10 beers and a couple shots, and GuyB a blunt the size of my forearm, which one is likely to become violent?
We both know the anwer to that.
Of course we do, however that wasn't the arguement. The original arguement was do people who smoke pot commit violent crimes and the answer to that is of course!

hahaha...
I would venture to take a guess (no, I wouldn't venture, I would Guarentee) that of those 80,000, if the shooter was under the infulence, it was more likely (and by more likely i mean 100000 times more likely) under the influence of LEGAL alcohol than illegal marijuana.
Honestly, have you ever smoked pot? I'm not bashing you for NOT smokiing, obviously, but if you ever have, you would know the last thing it does is make you violent....
Like someone said, if they handed EVERY person in the Ralph a joint upon walking in, and no one could drink beer, there wouldnt be ONE fight... except for maybe over the nachos, at which point, one stoner would probably just og buy the other some more...
get over it...
Have I ever smoked pot!!!!
Let me put it this way, I grew up in the 70's and spent my high school years stoned....every effing day!! Did I ever do anything illegal (other than smoking) while stoned? You betcha. Those of you who think that pot smokers don't commit crimes...and violent ones are really smoking something. Just because pot mellows you, and I agree it does, doesn't mean violent people won't be violent while high is just plain ignorant. If pot made violent people pacifists it would be a highly prescribed drug.

you're uneducated on this topic.
Last year there were more than:
400,000 tobacco related deaths in this country,
80,000 gun related deaths,
and zero marijuana related deaths.
Per US Census Bureau stats.
The reason pot is illegal, it due to the lobbyists of the drug companies. Vioxx has killed 20,000 people so far before being banned, yet it had commercials on national TV.
If you don't know, you shouldn't speak, it just makes you sound like a fat guy from South Buffalo.

So what you're saying is that of those 80,000 gun related deaths, none were committed or had anything to do with someone high on pot? Get a grip......

Does anyone else see the irony in these two statements made in a span of three sentances?
And by the way....are you folks really bitching about how much money each country has given so far? An election, my kingdom for an election.
