I just wanted to see a percentage on this one. I know I am defintley in the minority. If you would do so, please explain why you chose your vote.

playoffs?

but in all seriousness...YES I DO. I still think they will get their act together and make the playoffs.

Nice Rocky! I love that clip.

gonna be a hard one to make the playoffs given the crappy playoff structure and also losing 2 AFC games already. Had these been NFC loses..maybe. We need to run off like 6-8 games in a row to have a chance..

Realistically, I think we handle Tennessee & Houston without question.

The real test is that game @ NE. If we can somehow pull that one out, then at that point, we should be at the top of the division at 3-2. Otherwise, we're forced to beat the Jets & Packers to go 4-3 by the bye, which is a disappointment, IMO. After the bye, our schedule is actually pretty tough.

We really need to use these next two games to build up some serious confidence & momentum, because NE will be our toughest game before the bye, and right now.. they look, ehh, "decent" - but they are finding ways to win, which is the most important quality.

I'm not tryna think ahead though; one game at a time.. play now, panic or celebrate later.

hmm where would u get that from???? from our performance today? wow thats pretty amazing that you would think that.. i think the game should be a no line even money across the board and then maybe i might take the fins?

so you're saying we need to be 8-2 after 10 games to make the playoffs?

:rolleyes2

he's right...realistacally we should beat them. If we play like we did today we will be 0-16 like Booker said. I think we should take it one game at a time...and game 1 is against the Titans.

Probably from the fact that we played two of the best D's in the league already?

Tennessee & Houston are bottom 3-5 teams in the NFL. Sorry, but while we are truly struggling right now.. we're not that bad. Even crybaby Joey Harrington could have a field day against those teams.

The sky hasn't fallen yet, so stop acting like it.....

I think we will still do the playoffs, if you want to know why, please go to this thread:

Given the way the playoff structure is and our teams propensity to implode at the worst times...yes. You basically can lose 6 games at worst to make the playoffs given the current status of the AFC. Now denver and KC are not looking that great which bodes well for us.

well I don't think we need to be 8-2 though. 8-2 is a hell of a record no matter what conference you are playing in.

I don't know about that one, because if you win your division then you're in.

Right now, I wouldn't be surprised if the winner of the AFC East is 9-7. I mean, no one has been overly impressive at all so far. I could easily see New England finishing anywhere between 8-8 & 11-5. I could see Miami & Buffalo in that category as well, and the Jets look like a fluke right now.. I still see them under .500, but maybe not as bad as I originally predicted. At some point, their non-existant running game will collapse.

8-2 is a record that should have you as one of the two front runners for a first round bye in the playoffs. 7-3 may have you on top of your division, and 6-4 should keep you in the race, if not on top of your division if there isn't a clear cut favorite who is running away with it. 8-2 is a blessing, lol, really...

This year? Probably not, but it isn't impossible.

I don't see us dethroning the Pats this time around, but then they've got their own issues. Wildcard is gonna be tough with two losses in conference already...time for a hot streak!
