Season 5: Week 16 Open

Two weeks to go. The Chargers and Bills are still fighting for their lives.

Pursuit of Perfection: Panthers


The Bills have already toppled one NFC North titan this year. Will the Packers be able to avoid the letdown? This is a huge game for the boys in blue up north.

Pretty sure I miss playoffs if bills win.

Go pack go!!!!!!!

Not necessarily. There's a couple scenarios that could play out.  Regardless, one loss and you're done. No matter what, you need Broncos to only lose at least once. You cannot tie with the Bills/Broncos. Their 9-6-1 records would theoretically trump your 9-7 record.


Scenario 1:
If both Bills and Broncos lose at least once, you get the final Wildcard spot.

Scenario 2:
If the Bills win twice, the Jets get a Wildcard spot no matter what.
You would then need the Titans to lose twice and then you get in with a Conference Record tie-breaker.
The Jets win any tie-breakers over a 10-6 Chargers or Titans team if they were to lose 2 straight.

AFC Wildcard Standings and remaining games

Titans		10-4		@Jags		Texans
Bills		8-5-1		@Packers		Jets
Broncos		8-5-1		@Cardinals		@Chiefs
Chargers		8-6		@Ravens		Raiders

Wildcard Tie-Breakers between you and Titans (or Jets) assuming you win 2, and they both lose 2:

• Head-to-head, if applicable.
  Jets over Titans
  
• Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
  Jets 8-4, Chargers 8-4, Titans 7-5
  
• Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.
  Jets: 4-1 vs SD's 3-2
  Titans: 3-2 vs SD's 3-2 (This wouldn't come in to play due to step 2)
  
• Strength of victory.
  Fuck if I know. We'd never get this far...
  
• Strength of schedule.
  
• Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
  
• Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
  
• Best net points in conference games.
  
• Best net points in all games.
  
• Best net touchdowns in all games.
  
• Coin toss.
  

Bears rolled the Vikings by setting the tone early with a 64 yard run out the gates.  Alshon Jeffery and Santario Harrison enjoyed long stays on the bench.

Nevermind. Just put up a goose egg against the Ravens. Was actually 0-0 until the 4th quarter. 

6 season and didn't make the playoffs once. I'm pathetic.

Titans over Jaguars in OT.
