Is ICE back? This Playfair guy (not the Sabre, but the username) sounds frighteningly like ICE

right, I just brought it up because some guy on Countdown last night said that Strength of VICTORY would become a household word in the next week and that the Bills would probably get in because of it -- if we win out. We just need to take care of business and hope to get help. If we get all that help this week, we control our own destiny.

I just did a quick run down of strength of victory for the four teams tied for the 6th spot in the AFC. Currently, the wins by opponents that each team has beaten is: Buffalo 58 Denver 63 Jax 71 Balt 71 This assuming each of the four win out and no new victories by any already beaten opponents. Right now, it doesn't look like we have a chance in any strength of victory scenario like they said on Countdown last night -- if only strength of victory meant how badly you beat teams when you did win, then we would be front runners as none of the other three teams have dominated any victories like we have for five weeks. This being said, our best chance is STILL the other three losing at least one game and / or the Jests losing both.

Ah, so his default is pick the home team? Why did he get 3 points for correctly guessing the monday night score?

check out the picks in the football pool BOTH OF THEM PICKED MIAMI and the rest of their games the same and the tiebreaker, correctly, at 57 Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

This also helps our cause in terms of strength of victory which the broadcast talked about tonight. Every win that a team that we beat puts in helps us later. We get a double bonus because Miami counts for two wins in that case.

Slightly off topic: Yahoo won't let me drop TO in my fantasy football playoffs -- I need a replacement. EDIT: Man, you air a grievance and it is heard. I just dropped TO!

Was Miami's win a total fluke or did they expose a problem in the Paytoilet's armor? Is there any kind of a blueprint? It's not exactly everyday that a 2-11 beats a 12-1. Anyone have any thoughts? I'm sure everyone around the league is talking about it.

you said "good" and "niners" in the same sentence

Hey 34-78-83, your avatar is great, but they appear in reverse order from your username. It makes me dizzy knowing that they don't match, but that might be because I'm unusually anal.

I actually started yelling at the TV when Clements stripped Johnson of the ball, because before I saw the ball loose, I thought that NC needed to tackle Johnson, not go for the ball. First priority is to get him down. Still, a great play. That's why I watch and he plays.

Let's talk about the mid80s when we got 25000 in Rich ... No one pays big bucks for tickets when the team stinks -- that has no reflection on the dedication of the fan base.

Which is why they won't IN Pittsburgh this week. Toughest thing in all of sports is an NFL team sweeping.

Judging by the username, you probably want the Bills out so JP can play Go root for Joe Dufek instead

Voting ended Friday, I believe, it's too late

How can the RedSox rotation be getting younger when they signed David Wells? Sorry, I'm not a baseball fan, but that just doesn't make sense.

Here, here, as one who has supported Bledsoe most of the time and couldn't stand all the posts, thank you Steve for being more honest and true blue than most on this board. Everyone just needs to get off the boat that somehow tells yourself that you know more than anyone else, sit back and enjoy the ride. It should be a fun few weeks.

It was on CBS. I wondered what was said in the exchange. Thanks

If we end up being tied with the Jests, I seems that most likely we win the tiebreaker. According to NFL Tiebreaking Rules, you break the tie within the division first, even if it is a 3 or more way tie among wildcard teams from differing divisions. The division tiebreak goes 1. Head to head -- push 2. Divisional Record -- push -- if NY loses to NE as one of their 2 or 3 losses. 3. Record vs common opponents We have 8 opponents in common outside the division. Currently, the Jests stand at 4-2, still to play home vs. Seattle and @ StLouis. Our record is 4-1, still to play @ Cin, @ SF, home vs. Pit. I think our chances are of going 2-1 are at least as good, probably better than, as NY going 1-1. StLouis is banged up, but at home are still dangerous. Seattle and StLouis are still playing for the division title -- sad as that may be. If the tie break process gets beyond this, NY wins based on conference record. All that being said, we still need to run the table. Focus on beating Cinci.
