NFL 2009-10 Season

Are you sure? If Miami wins next week, to go 8-8 and if Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Houston and Denver all lose next week, or if only one of them wins, then at least three of them, including Miami, would be 6-6 in the conference, so they would have to go to "strength of victory", which I don't know how to figure out, to pick the two wildcard entries. Also, Jacksonville can go 8-8. Even if one of the four teams with 8 wins goes 9-7, Miami would still be in a big tie with the rest that would also have to be settled through the strength of victory method.

If indeed Miami could survive a strength of victory determination, then their chances of making the playoffs, using the simple permutation method and ignoring the fact that the home team or better team is more likely to win each game, then I think there would be a 5 in 32 chance that Miami would be involved in a strength of schedule tie breaker (1 in 16 that all four eight-win teams lose, 4 in 16 that 3 of those 4 lose, and 50-50 that Miami wins).

A Jacksonville win would put them into such a tie breaker, but would not affect Miami's chance of being in such a tie breaker but might influence their chance of winning it.

You're right, I stand corrected.

All the websites have the Dolphins still alive.

The announcer during the Texans-Dolphins game on CBS said the Dolphins were eliminated. He probably didn't mean it literally, but I took it that way.
 
Interesting.............

The Colts have pulled Peyton Manning with a 5 point lead and a perfect season on the line (for the record, I don't blame them).
 
Jets driving in Colts territory nursing a 3 point lead........early in the 4th.

Meanwhile, Peyton Manning is lobbying on the sidelines to get back in...............

EDIT: Jets kick a FG.......now up 21-15
 
die dolphins die!!!!!!!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

by the way,peyton needs to get back in the game. i find this ridiculous. and i dont want to hear about how he might get injured. the last time they rested before the playoffs it backfired. i dont believe in that bs but i do believe strongly in maintaining the rhythm of an offense that's going into the playoffs with a bye week. get that man back in there!!!!

Rey,
while I agree with you 1,000% about the rhythm the part, I think maybe the Colts took a lesson from the '07 Patriots.

The Pats went all out to go undefeated, and where did it get them? A big, fat L in the biggest game of the year.

It's almost as if the Colts are saying, "to hell with the undefeated season, we have bigger fish to fry". :)
 
Jets now lead the Colts by 14 with a little more than 5 minutes left..........

Mr. Morris, we have your champagne on ice!

i hear ya bill but i still think that had nothing to do with the pats losing the SB. besides the pats almost won that game. the g men were just a little more physical that day. ;) only a little bit more :)

i beginning to get sick of that guy :D and honestly i really dont care anymore about some of these fins records. lets just win baby!!! :eek::D its been 25 years since our last SB appearance
 
For the second straight season, the Lions don't win a road game.

They have lost 20 straight games away from Ford Field.

Last time they did so- against the Bears in October 2007 to put them at a hard-to-believe 5-2- was the night the Red Sox completed their sweep of Colorado in the World Series.
 
This Jets win really hurts both Houston and Pittsburgh's chances.

Gotta say, THANKS ALOT, to the Colts new Coach .... they could easily beat the Jets today, but decides to take Peyton and company out and they now will go on to LOSE thier 1st game of the year ........


If I were a Colts FAN, I'd be REALLY PISSED ....
having the chance to go undefeated and just handing it way this way.

You need to look deeper .... see when the last time they won more than one road game in a season was.
 
I'm noy buying into the theory that you HAVE to go undefeated.

What if the Colts played everyone and a couple of key players were hurt and lost for the playoffs?

It isn't worth it, IMO.

Suppose Moss or Welker got hurt in late 2007 and were lost for the playoffs; Belichick would have been skewered.
 
RIGHT NOW, the Broncos and Jets are the Wildcard teams.

BUT, IF Denver loses to Philly, does that put the Ravens back in over the Broncos?


EDIT: Jim Nantz just answered my question.
