JBandJoeyV Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Im sorta conflicted again like the Steelers Denver game. If the Colts win we are second by ourselves and are in decent position to grab the #2 seed. However, if NE can beat the pats, that only puts us a game behind the Colts for the number 1 overall seed, but it also keeps NE tied with us at 7-2. If the colts lose a number 1 seed isnt out of the question, even if they have a fairly easy schedule. But then again getting a bye first is more important. I dont know, tough call.

Jamie_B Posted November 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 If the pats win we both have two AFC losses, so were tied for 2nd with the Colts being 1 game ahead. There really is no bad outcome here, but I would love to have sole possession. Any given sunday, but the colts have a cupcake schedule after this game.

[/quote] Yeah so much can happen in the last 7 weeks that I really dont know who to root for, either way a team tied with us (Pats) or ahead of us (Colts) gets a loss, so it cant really hurt us. Either way we are going to be rooting against both these teams the rest of the year pretty much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBandJoeyV Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Remaining schedules for both teams... Colts NE @Baltimore @Houston Tennessee Denver @Jax NYJ Buffalo That schedule actually isnt that easy, I could see them losing to NE, either Baltimore or Houston, and maybe even against Tenn, Denver or Jax. I mean they could also win them all, but them losing 2-3 games is possible. NE goes @Indy NYJ @NO @Miami Carolina @Buffalo Jax Houston They could also lose another 1-3 games. I think I want NE to win tonight, then will worry about each team losing a couple more games and we'll sneak in as the number 1 seed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm torn. A colts win helps us get a bye, and that's the way I'm leaning, but a patriots wins gets Peyton manning one step closer to having to play an outdoor game in the playoffs. I don't know if we want the Colts having home field throughout the playoffs. If we play the colts, I want them in bad weather where peyton struggles and with their D that can't stop the run.

JBandJoeyV Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 One positive about our remaining schedule is that our hardest game is against an NFC team. THe first tiebreaker is conference record, so if we win the rest of our games but lose to Minnesota and Indy or NE or someone finish 13-3 too with 3 afc losses, we get the advantage.

turningpoint Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 I definitely want a colts win, with the vikings and us having to go to SD still i think we're looking at the #2 seed, i don't see the colts losing 2 games. I see the patriots losing 4 games, 1 here tonight and 1 vs the Saints. colts 15-1 ish Bengals 13-3ish Patriots 12-4 Looks a lot better imo. We pretty much have to beat SD they could go undefeated the rest of the season and end up 13-3 thus getting the #2 seed because they beat us. So that's a huge game!

[/quote] Isn't the first tiebreaker conference w's/l's? We lost two, one to the Broncos and one to the Texans They lost two, one to Jets and one to the Broncos. So if thats the case it has to come down to whatever that 2nd tiebreaker is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] No strength of victory is the 4th. 3rd is record vs common opponents. 1st being head to head but we dont play, 2nd being conference record. NE and Cin have both played Baltimore and Denver. NE split and we are 2-1 against them. So right now we have the edge. Future games that will be common opponents are NYJs and Houston. Theyve lost to NYJ once and play them again, and weve lost to Houston. So we are 2-2 against like opponents and they are 1-2, with them still having to play NYJ and Houston and us having to Play NYJ. MEANING, if us and NE end up with the same record and same conference record, we need to be NYJ and hopefullly they will lose to either the jets again or Houston. If both teams go 3-2 then it will go to strength of victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|Bunghole| Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 I said it earlier in the year and got laughed at, but Jacksonville is no pushover team, and I still say they make a playoff push. Or at least really help us out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
