KurtGodel77 Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 This from NFL.com: " The Jets have the league's leading rusher, their quarterback back in the fold and a chance to clinch a playoff spot this week. That's the good news." Um, if that's the good news, I'd hate to hear the bad news. Presumably, if the Jets have the chance to clinch a playoff spot this week, they'll have the chance again next week. And again the following week. This will continue up until the playoffs, I'd imagine. Certainly the Jets will win at least one game in their next four, so that leaves just one playoff spot for everyone else to compete for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelers 27 Jets 10 And, not that is matters much to our beloved Bills, the Eagles will be defeated in an AMBUSH by the Redskins and the Greg Williams "D". Classic TRAP game.

KurtGodel77 Posted December 11, 2004 Author Share Posted December 11, 2004 It dawned on me that the NFL quote isn't as bad as I first thought. Maybe the Jets would have to win, and several other teams lose, in order for them to clinch a playoff berth this weekend. Hopefully one of the teams that would have to lose is the Bills . . .

jarthur31 Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 The Jests are the least of our worries. We need the Broncs, Ravens, and Jags to lose the next four weeks for our prayers to be answered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtGodel77 Posted December 11, 2004 Author Share Posted December 11, 2004 I agree it would be nice if we could clear those guys out of the playoffs, but I'm also rooting against the Jets. I want them to lose on general principle. Also, ridding the playoffs of their foul presence would free up a slot for Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three teams from the AFC East. And not one of them wearing fukked up colors like orange and aquamarine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 If the Jets Beat the Steelers, the Jets would beat the Bills in the tie breaker if we both finish 10-6. If the Jets lose to the Steelers, Pats, and Either the Seahawks or Rams, The Bills win a tie break with the Jets if we both have 10-6 records based on common opponent record. Simply put, the Jets cant beat the Steelers if we want to move ahead of them, and Im sure its like that for most teams. Lets face it guys, If the Bills win out, the chances of going to the Playoffs rests on the Jets Losing @Pitt, NE, and the Seahawks or @Rams(Both will be fighting for playoffs). Then the Ravens have to lose 2 games, most likley @Indy and @ Pit. I wont get into the the Broncos and Jags because these 2 are the most likley to happen IMO. Things are looking good for the Bills.

TigerJ Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Pittsburgh is going to beat the Jets. We can take another look at this next week when they are 9-4 and Buffalo is 7-6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what happens, if the Bills and Jets end up tied at 10-6, the Jets will have a better AFC record. They have 7 AFC wins right now; the best we can have is 6.

drnykterstein Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 We must win all 4 games --- and we jump ahead of... The jets if they lose 3 The broncos if they lose 2 The Ravens if they lose 2 Jags if they lose 1 In other words, we must win and 3 of those 4 things must happen. (look at the schedules for those teams, its not that unlikely) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SACTOBILLSFAN Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 I thought the first tiebreaker (aside from head-to-head) is AFC record. No matter what happens, if the Bills and Jets end up tied at 10-6, the Jets will have a better AFC record. They have 7 AFC wins right now; the best we can have is 6. 155782[/snapback] Interdivision tiebreakers go as follows: 1. Divisional Record 2. Record vs. Common Opponents 3. Conference Record 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 common games. 9. Best net points in all games. 10. Best net touchdowns in all games So it depends on how the Jests get to their 10-6 record if they lose to Pitt but beat NE and finish 10-6 they have the tiebreaker over the Bills because their divisional record will be 4-2 while ours is 3-3. If they lose to both Pitt and NE and finish 10-6 then we own the tiebreaker because the Bills record vs. common opponents will be 10-4 while the Jests will be at 8-6 (I included each teams 3-3 divisional record). The latter scenario doesn't seem too far off if our boys win out. However, if we end up tied with Baltimore obviously they win it because they beat the Bills. If we end up tied with Denver it comes down to our conference record which will be 6-6 (.500) if we win out and Denver, in order to finish at 10-6, will have to win the next 3 of 4 games all against the AFC, which will put them at 6-5 (.540) within the conference and that winning percentage will be higher than Buffalo's, so Denver will own the tiebreaker because they played more games against the Junior Varsity league, but it will be tough for them because after the Dolfelons in Denver they go to KC (always tough between those 2 teams) to Tennessee and then at home against Indy...hopefully they lose two quick ones and none of this comes into play...go err Dolphins?!?!
