FYI

This would be so much easier if we had just beaten the Brownies.
This can't be right; they left out the scenario that shows the Bucs getting at least a Wild-Card...
Think Marshall on a grand scale.
Jets would actually benefit if New England wins twice, beating Jacksonville and Tennesee.
NFC NORTH DIVISION
Detroit can clinch division title with:
1) A plague genetically engineered to target those with coordination, intelligence, and strength;
2) A global thermonuclear war; or
3) Barry Sanders returning for one last game.
Washington Redskins: watch games from comfort of your own homes.
would anyone care to guessrtimate the odds that the Jets make the playoffs and the Giants don't..I figure about 15:1

Pittsburgh's playoff chances. < |:(~
: (
Hey, I think that looks exactly like the Titans' playoff chances.
I am looking at knocking the snot out of the clavins....and clubbing the bungles!!!!! and let the chips fall where they may!!!!
Next week: Eagles vs Dallas; may as well be a playoff game.
Go Eagles.
"Hey, I think that looks exactly like the Titans' playoff chances."
Well considering that many expected them to win maybe 2-3 games. I think you should happy at this point.
Touche'
Yeah, I'm actually thrilled at how the season has gone. I haven't really heard anyone talk about playoffs here other than to say that haven't actually been elminated totally.
They would have to keep the streak going while all the 8-6 teams lose last two games.
My apologies.
No need to apologize. If you compare ANY Jets fan's expectations at the beginning of the season compared to where we are now, we're so far and beyond that any good thing that happens now is simply a "bonus". At least that's my take.
Now that Brady has dumped his excess baggage, he's back to his usual close-to-perfection performance. Go Patriots!
Yes, but being a Jets fan is itself worthy of pity.
