    The Jags/Texans/Dolphins have no chance if we win out. I'm not worried about them.

    The two teams that will most likely put us out are the Broncos and the Steelers, potentially the Ravens. Worrying about anyone but those 3 is not very realistic if you think we can win out.

    Broncos are sitting at 7-4 right now and have 3 very easy games coming up:
    KC x2 (W x2)
    Oak (W)
    Phi (L)
    Indy (L)

    They'll most likely end up at 10-6. We'd both be 2-2 in common games so it would go to AFC win % where they win the tie breaker.

    Steelers are sitting at 6-5:
    Oak (W)
    Cle (W)
    Mia (W)
    GB (L?)
    Bal (W?)

    Assuming they win one and lose one against GB/Bal they end up at 10-6 as well. We lose that tie-breaker.

    Ravens at 6-5:
    GB (L?)
    Det (W)
    Chi (W)
    Pit (L?)
    Oak (W)

    Without any massive upsets, if we get lucky they're at 9-7. If they beat the Steelers, they win the tie breaker over us, if they lose to the Steelers, we have the tie breaker over them.

    In my opinion, our best bet would be to have the Steelers win out and clinch one spot (giving us the tie breaker over the Ravens, who could then at best finish 10-6) and then hope the Broncos fall on their face and lose to either KC or Oakland once. Of course we'd have to win out and assume teams like Indy, Philly and GB play well against our wild card competitors as well.

    Doable? Sure. Probable? Not really, I actually had much higher hopes before looking at the tie-breaker situation and the other wildcard hopefuls' schedules.

    Indy, Philly and GB can play well, I think it is really possible.

    Denver will split with KC. KC wins this weekend @ home and then loses later on in Denver.

    if ryan mouton could catch a punt we would have won the jets game and have the wild card in hard right now.

    If we won the Jets (or Pitt) game then no VY so definately no shot. if we win out we will be in. all the teams ahead of us will defiantely lose two. Its that kind of year.

    How crazy would it be if Titans, Miami, Jets, and Texans win and Steelers and Ravens lose! That puts all those teams mentioned plus the Jags at 6-6.

    With the denver win last week, i think our hopes are officially dashed.

    Those 6 in conference losses were the killer.

    I do hope jeff fisher gets fired at the end of the year.:evil:

    Little early to throw in the towel karma. OAK beat CIN, KC beat PIT. Strange things can happen. Not over till it's over.

    also if SD loses to dallas as well as cinci "both possible" on top of our game we will beat them out, Denver would win the divison "if they dont lose more than two games or if they lose two and lose the tie breaker. that would then open up two wildcard spots. placing us ahead of SD.

    I think if we take care of our business everything else will fall into place just like Vince's rookie year...we just couldn't finish the job that year ourselves.
