If they were owned by the Jets management their fans would have received playoff invoices by now--needed to be paid in full by December 15.

i saw that possiblity too, jags need to beat pats is the difference, and quite possible. i can't believe the jets, who have blown so many easy games, still have a shot at the 3 seed.
You can't be serious. Going from 4-6 to 10-6 and sneaking in on the last day, is infinately tougher than 2002.
If Pitt and us both win out we will make it over them because of our conference record, so they definitely have to beat Baltimore and after that I don't care what they do. That Baltimore game will be really important, hopefully Troy will be healthy for that game because Baltimore has a relatively easy last few games, this and maybe Chicago are the only tough ones.
It's pretty comparable, depending on how this year ends up. In 2002 we went from 2-5 to 7-6, lost at Chicago in a game we thought finished us, then got some breaks, won the last two and got in on the last night.

I Like Our Chances Its really not that complicated. First of all, none of this matters unless we run the table and go 10-6. I think we have better talent than the Bucs, Falcons and Bengals and the only road game of the three is against Tampa ... one of the worst teams and defenses in the league. Also, Cincy might have nothing to play for in week 17. Obviously, the Colt game is a big obstacle... but they've already stated that they'll be resting their starters at that point. I give us a 50-50 shot. That said ... If we can go 10-6, the rest of it should work itself out in our favor. Assume the Pats win the division, and first wildcard will be the Chargers or Broncos. That means we need Jax, Miami and Balt to get to 7 losses each. I think our life will be easier if MIAMI BEATS JAX this week to make all of us 7-6 (assume Balt is going to beat the Lions on Sunday). Now... Take a Look at the schedules for the final 3 weeks. Miami has @Tenn, Hou and Pitt (1 loss needed for 7)... Jax has Colts, @Pats and @Cleve (1 or 2 losses needed for 7 depending on Mia-Jax this week). The biggest problem is the Ravens...Bears, @Pitt, @Oak (1 loss needed). Note... even if 6-6 Pitt runs the table (beating Miami and Balt in the process) we'll still get the last spot based on common opponents (Thank you Oakland). You think that's alot of "IFs", but not really ... It breaks down this simple ... Root hard for Pitt to beat the Ravens at home. If that happens, taking care of our own business will probably give us an 80% chance of getting in.
we win all we are in. Every year the end of year plays out the same. It looks like you need 11 wins, then definitely 10 then someone gets in at 9. Every year.
Except for last year, the Pats missed the playoffs with a 11-5 record. However, I do agree that this is the scenario very often. I think we can get in at 10-6, and I have a feeling someone might be able to get in at 9-7, but it won't be us due to tiebreaker
