bills_fan Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 If i have read everything correctly, I think the ONLY team we hold the tiebreaker over is NYJ, and that's because, as divisional teams, the tiebreaker is different. Right, but you see, its a big circle.... In my above scenario (Jax, Jest, Bills all finish 10-6) Jax has tiebreaker over Bills Bills have tiebreaker over Jest Jest has tiebreaker over Jax No easy answer.

gantrules Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Yes there is. Don't look past this week. Bills win, Jets loss, Jax loss, Broncos loss and Bmore loss is what we need. Only worry about that for now. Keep it simple!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my above scenario (Jax, Jest, Bills all finish 10-6) Jax has tiebreaker over Bills Bills have tiebreaker over Jest Jest has tiebreaker over Jax No easy answer. 169056[/snapback] Ties are broken w/i the division first, and then between divisions. If Buffalo and Jets both finish 10-6, then we finish 2nd in Division and Jets 3rd. The Jets don't get to use their inter-division tiebreaker unless and until we get into the dance first. That's how it works...CD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills_fan Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 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 two 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. So if I'm reading this right, if Jax, Jest & Bills all finish 10-6 Bills & Jest go, Buffalo as the #5, and Jax goes home, even tho they beat us, because the division tiebreaker is applied before all others??? Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only worry about that for now. Keep it simple!!! 169059[/snapback] Jets lose to NE? done Jax lose to Houston? perhaps Denver lose to Tenn? perhaps Baltimore lose to Pitts? perhaps. People, for the spor we're in, this could be ALOT worse... keep everything crossed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my above scenario (Jax, Jest, Bills all finish 10-6) Jax has tiebreaker over Bills Bills have tiebreaker over Jest Jest has tiebreaker over Jax No easy answer. 169056[/snapback] So in your scenario, Jax would be #5 seed, Buffalo #6, and Jets out. If Buffalo finished 9-7, and everything else in your scenario remained constant, Jets would be #5 seed, and Jax #6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevestojan Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 On October 24th, when Baltimore beat us 20-6, to take us to 1-5, who would have EVER thought we'd be getting frustrated figuring out HOW TO MAKE THE PLAYOFFS. F-CKING A BILLS! Way to circle the wagons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
envirojeff Posted December 20, 2004 Author Share Posted December 20, 2004 So in your scenario, Jax would be #5 seed, Buffalo #6, and Jets out. If Buffalo finished 9-7, and everything else in your scenario remained constant, Jets would be #5 seed, and Jax #6. 169073[/snapback] I know that this is a stupid question, but is there ANY scenario that Buffalo gets in with 9-7?

Jeff 169334[/snapback] Baltimore, Jax and Denver would all have to lose both their remaining games for the Bills to get in at 9-7. Jets already have 10 wins, so they would beat us, of course...CD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
