Prime time win in Jerry World + watching Brady unravel on SNF. This has been one of the most enjoyable weeks of football for me in quite some time

 

 

Don't forget the Jets letting a 2nd winless team beat them up for their 1st win of the season

No they don't. Buffalo would win on tiebreaker.

 

If Pats lose they are 10-2.

 

If Bills win out the Bills will be 13-3 and the Pats would be 13-3.

 

Head to head 1-1

Division 5-1 each

Conference record Buffalo 10-2

New England 9-3

 

Tie breaker to Buffalo.

 

Buffalo would also have the tie breaker over common opponents by the Baltimore outcome.

 

It means winning out, but that is what controlling your destiny means.

Except within a division it goes to common opponents before conference.

Common opponents record comes before conference record

To Break A Tie Within A Division

If, at the end of the regular season, two or more clubs in the same division finish with identical won-lost-tied percentages, the following steps will be taken until a champion is determined.

Two Clubs

  1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs).
  2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.
  3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games.
  4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
  5. Strength of victory.
  6. Strength of schedule.
  7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.

Wow.

If we had played NE* week one, they would have blown us out. As it was, week four, we held our own, but lost. Now, I feel like we're genuinely the better team. As long as McD doesn't speak too loudly during halftime, and communicates the halftime adjustments in hushed tones in the locker room, we're going to beat them in Foxboro in a few weeks.

 

Does anyone else suddenly feel like we might even take the division?

The #3 tiebreaker for a division is best won/lost percentage in common games, not conference record.

 

I haven’t done the math myself but every playoff calculator I’ve seen says we need to finish with a better record.
