Mikie2times Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Why do I keep seeing all these posts about ceding a spot to the Jets. Their collapse is as likely still as any of the other teams. Don't let their 9 wins fool you, they are still easily within our grasp. Just look at these games. At Pittsburgh L Home Seattle ? Home New England L At St Louis ? Don't you think Pitt and New England represent a likely loss for the Jets? Well thats all it takes to pull them back to us, then all we need is one loss from the Seattle and St Louis games. I really don't think a loss in either of those games is to bit of a stretch. St Louis usually plays well in the dome and it looks like they might have a ton riding on that game. Seattle can transform into a very good team once Alexander gets going, throw in Koren Robinson's return and thats no lock either.

I can see your point...I just think that the other scenarios are more likely than the Jest losing three games. Either they totally collapse or get smoked in the first round of the playoffs.

If John Abraham is out, they'll be in even deeper trouble! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubes Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 I was ceding a spot to the Jets, but only because it would take a huge collapse down the stretch. The other teams need to falter, but not as much. I guess, given their schedule, that it's possible. Just not all that likely, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, why not focus on the two 7-5 teams and the 6-6 team ahead of you rather than the 9-3 team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only game I worry about on thier sked is the Seahawks. They look terrible. Hopefully they can get thier act together for a playoff run and in the process, knock off the Jets.

For instance, most people don't think the Jets are that good. Period. The stats back it up. The Jets are 1-2 vs. teams with winning records. The Jets 9 wins have come against teams with a combined record of 38-70. That's 38-70. The next four games are no gimmie for them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think a Jest collapse is unlikely...I just think the needed scenarios playing out with the other three teams is more likely. Anyway, who cares whether or not the Jest collapse as long as three of those four fall apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's not only fun to watch the Bills, but also, fun to watch these other teams choke their way back to us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are #1 in the league in points allowed. We have a top 5 rushing offense and a QB who hasn't thrown a Redzone INT in his career. We lost to baltimore cuz blew in in the last :40 and we have 6 second half shutouts this season ,including one against NE. We are better than anybody is giving us credit for.
