Just realized that all this negative talk has clouded the truth from being seen. Right now, we only have one loss against our division. The Jets are 3-3, meaning we are one win against the Jets away from tying record wise, but leading them by having the tie breaker in division record.
Then, if we beat the Bills this weekend, then we would have tied them in division record...and would basically be beating them the second time we play them away from having a tie breaking better division record!
We play the Pats once more meaning that we can make up ground against them by a win there...so truth is that we are sooooo not out of it, and if we improve here on out, we could very well be in the middle of not just a definite wild card race, but a Bills struggle through one of these quarters from still being within reach of a division title.
right now, we are 2-4, but if we win against BUF and then the game after that, we would enter the half way point at 4-4. BUF could be 4-2 after losing to us and easily be one upset loss from 4-3 by the time we play them again! Do the math.
If we beat them the second time around we can tie them record wise and have a better division record at that point.
Now if we lose another one here and another there...and still continue to play well and win and win against our division...could end up with a 10-6 record and still win the division.
Even if we don't and lose to one of our division guys one more time, we could still be the wild card at 9-7. Remember the wins against SD and NE...and the 'we should/could have won' the HOU game and the JETS game.
Wow! We are still in the thick of things!
