.....how the Jags are still ahead of us with the same record and a loss heads up? Every site I go on says they still lead us, it makes no sense to me. It says in the playoff rules that if 2 non divisional teams are tied then the 1st thing looked at is head to head match up, what am I missing here?

Here are the current standings after todays game

Here are the scenarios which they claim the Jags are ahead of us because they have a better conference record but on their own page it say that conference record is the 4th thing they look at.

it's not 2 non divisional teams, it's three. Baltimore is 7-6 as well. in a three-way tie, head-to-head only applies if one team beat both or lost to both teams they're tied with. since Jacksonville didn't lose to Baltimore and we didn't beat Baltimore, head-to-head isn't applicable. Jacksonville has the best conference record, so they're still 6th.
 
It does not matter.

They cannot end up tied with us at 10-6 and keep us out of the playoffs.

If we are both 10-6 in January, we won the division.
 
your missing that it is a 3 way tie for that last wildcard spot... head to head doesn't come to play unless one team had beat both of the others or lost to both of the others... we never played baltimore so head to head means nothing...

conference record would be the next tiebreaker...

but Jax doesn't matter at all, they play the Pats in the final 3 games, so if they win out, that would actually help us by beating the pats because we can win the division then... and if the Pats win then Jax is out

Doesn't matter, they won't beat the Colts and Patriots back to back!
 
Jax has Indy and then New England ....so no need to sweat the Jags. The Jags could actually help us out.....we need the Ravens to take some lumps.

Hope is one thing, foolish thinking this is.

I think Jags really sucks, no way can beat the Unstoppable Colts!

Just forget about it. NOT gonna happen!

If Jacksonville wins out, that not only gives us the AFC East, but we will be playing Jacksonville again, at home this time.

I dont know about you guys, but I'm sick of seeing Tom Brady's *** in our stadium, and I am sure *** hell equally sick of seeing the Ravens down here as well.

I am rooting for Jacksonville to win out.

As a bonus, it would mean they also keep Indy from going undefeated. (Not as important to me as getting in the playoffs, but a nice lil perk:) )

EDIT - LOL FORGOT ABOUT DENVER. We would be playing them with SD playing the #6 seed.
 
Everyone should realize that we took care of the Jags today. The thing that we have to see happen is for Baltimore to lose somewhere along the line. That is extremely important. Or New England lose another game somewhere which may still not leave us in division lead, I'm less aware of those circumstances.

As well, realize that our playoff scenarios right now involve us winning all of our games. That is going to be a tough thing to do but we have to consider every game from here on out a playoff game.

Doubt the Jags will beat the Colts, but they could very well beat the Patriots. Brady was outplayed by Matt Moore today. If that game had been played in Charlotte the Panthers probably would have won. The Bills will win next Sunday.If the Dolphins can find a way to win in Tennessee then they will take the Division lead.

They would need to lose to Buffalo and of course we win out, it would tie our records and we would have a better division record. Otherwise they will have to lose 2 games for us to catch them.
