Kgun5 Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Jax will lose in Green Bay...the Packers are still fighting for their division, and they are very tough to beat in December. Case in point, today the Lions should have beaten them, but GB snuck away with a victory. 157642[/snapback] I hope you're right, but JAX is twice the team that DET is.

Tom Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 If we win out & the jests lose out, we'd have a better common opponents record. A BIG 'IF'!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must lose to New England, and ONE (1) of the other two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kgun5 Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 A BIG IF 157648[/snapback] I think the Broncos losing 2 of 3 is a bigger if. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubes Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 I think the Broncos losing 2 of 3 is a bigger if. 157650[/snapback] It's a big 'if', but the way Denver is playing lately, anything can haappen with that team. They have two relatively tough road games coming. Jake the Snake can usually be counted on for some tough outings on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksonville scares me the most, but beating both Cinci on the road and Pittsburgh in that last week is going to be tough as nails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksonville scares me the most, but beating both Cinci on the road and Pittsburgh in that last week is going to be tough as nails. 157662[/snapback] True, but look at it this way: if we can't beat a team like Cincy on the road and Pittsburgh at home, we probably don't belong in the playoffs since we'd have to beat three monsters on the road to get through to the Super Bowl.

We need to win out, and that's all there is to it. I just really hope they're rewarded with the playoffs if they manage to pull it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estro Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 If someone can answer this please do so....I think soemone attempted to ask it but I never saw an answer...I actually have two questions.... 1) What happens if the Bills, Jets and Broncos all finish the season 10-6 (assuming Baltimore and Jax finish 9-7 or worse and one of the Jets losses is to the Pats)? I know two of the three teams will advance, but who (didn't see anything about three-way ties)? 2) Same as question #1 but instead the Bills, Jets and Ravens tie at 10-6 (with the Jags and Broncos finishing 9-7 or worse and one of the Jets losses coming to the Pats.) If anyone can answer I'd really appreciate because if we do win otu I see one of these two scenarios being the likely case hopefully we have the edge in at leats one of these three way tie breakers. Thanks knowledgable fans!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ball'n Posted December 13, 2004 Author Share Posted December 13, 2004 I think JAX and BALT will lose 1 and 2 games respectively... We need Dever or the Jets to lose 2. I think the Jets will lose 2 before Denver will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estro Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Thanks a lot guys, I appreciate it. I think the fact that we get in on both of those three way team tiebreakers is hige for us. I'm starting to get the feeling that if we take care of business and win out were gonna do it. I definitely think a three way tie breaker involving us the jets and another team is highly likely.

lawnboy1977 Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Cool....Question: If we do win out & tie with the Jets & Denver, who has the tie breaker? (I know Jax & Baltimore have it over us) 157486[/snapback] We actually lose the tiebreaker to both teams. Jets have better conf and so does denver. I think.

Matt in KC Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 We actually lose the tiebreaker to both teams. Jets have better conf and so does denver. I think. 157708[/snapback] For all 3-team ties, any two in the same division are compared first (and one eliminated). For teams in the same division, record against common opponents is a higher tiebreaker than conference record, and so we'd beat the Jets if we're 10-6 each.

Ball'n Posted December 13, 2004 Author Share Posted December 13, 2004 Don't forget, that's only if one of their losses is to NE. 157720[/snapback] Yes, because if they beat NE then they will be 4 - 2 against divisonal teams while we will be 3 - 3.
