playoff scenario thread.

[kasper13]

Only way the Bills make the playoffs is if we all get into a time machine and go back to 1999. Note to self: Get in touch with Tonya Harding. RE: Wychek's knee.

next week......

 

 

1. Green Bay wins ---green bay clinches division they are assured of at least 5 win divisional record thus a tie breaker with Minnesota and H2H sweep pver Chicago gets them ahead of Chicago.

 

2. Atlanta wins and GB and SF lose---clinch home field.

 

3. San Francisco wins and Seattle loses --San Fran clinches division title. a win clinches a WC.

 

4. Houston---doesnt matter what they do tonight--- win next week over Indy clinches division title. If they win tonight and win next week against Indy they clinch home field.

 

5, Indy clinches WC with win next week, or they lose and others lose they cant clinch.

Let's turn this into a "where are the Bills drafting" thread now, and wear paper bags on our heads and sing, "Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen".

The playoff scenarios.....

1. Atlanta clinched division and a bye. Clinch home field with a win or both GB and Sf lose a game.

2. With a win tonight SF is in first place in NFC West. magic number is 1 to clinch division.

3. Green Bay clinched division.

4. NFC EaSt leader.

Giants lost control....if Washington and Dallas both win next week their game in week 17 decided the division title between then. Giants can do nothing. The only scenario is Giants win and DAL-WAS tie.

Giants have many tiebreakers for the wild card with best conference record. They win out they will get at least a WC.

Seattle wins out they get a WC at least...they win out and SF lose to AZ they get division.

Seattle can clinch a WC with a win and losses by WAS and NYG.

Minnesota wins out they will be in second place so Chicago is in a major hole with the lose today. Minnesota needs to win out and have Giants lose 1 or Seattle lose twice.

Chicago can get in to the WC slot if they win out and Minn and NYG lose 1 game.

There are a ton other scenarios if all the WC teams are 9-7.

For the AFC

assuming NE loses tonight

1. Houston has division...win clinches home field

2. Denver...clinch bye magic number is 2 between then and NE.

3. New England..can sill get a bye or home field by winning out and ending up in a tie with DEN and/or HOU

4. Baltimore....magic number 1 for division. They beat the Giants they wrap up the division. A loss and Cin win then week 17 matchup is for the division title. Balt has clinched a WC.

IF NE wins

For the wild card. Indy clinches WC with a win or losses by

INDY loses a 9-7 tie with Jets based on H2H

JETS over CIN due to conf record

PIT over JETS due to H2H

tie breakers between INDY and either CIN or PIT at 9-7 will be based on strength of victory due to conference record and common games record tied.

IF the JETS are tied with PIT/CIN and INDY at 9-7 then JETS get in first due to better conference record in a 3 team tie.

 

BALT has clinched the WC spot due to conference record.

 

SF needs one win to clinch a WC spot (or a bunch of teams losing).

For the wild card. Indy clinches WC with a win or a PIt loss

 

 

tie breakers between INDY and either CIN or PIT at 9-7 will be based on strength of victory due to conference record and common games record tied.

 

PIT wins out they get the WC.

 

IF all tied at 9-7 which means IND LL, CIN LW, and PIT WW. PIT gets 2nd place over CIN due to season H2H sweep.

 

PIT looks as if their strength of victory will be better than IND. As of now SV wins are 58 to 50. thus PIt has a good shot of earning the wild card.

 

Then IND is compared with CIN is 50 to 47. they also would come to strength of victory.

 

A cincinati win means all playoff spots are locked up. a baltimore win means all division titles are locked up.

You left out Buffalo. Does Gailey know what 5-9 means? 4-12, 6-10, 5-9 equals Chan we can believe in!

It means if the Bills win out that he, after only 3 years, would have achieved the lofty 7-9 record of his predecessor. Who, as it happens, was run out of town for sucking.
