Fk Seattle.

That is all.

[Longy]

wow, huge day for fins with jets losing and us winning.

wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. 

The jets loss is actually irrelevant to Miami's chance of making the playoffs. We still have to win against the Jets next week to get in, the real benefactor of the loss is the Pats who can win the division by winning in Buffalo and the Jets beating the phins next week.

Amazingly San Diego are still alive in the AFC west and the big showdown with Denver is on for next week.

[gatso]

wow, the finish gets even closer. was sure that fins vs jets was gonna be winner takes all but now we've got the pats thrown in the mix as well. proper exciting stuff this. I make pats favourite now

[thetank]

I really really really want to stick it to San Diego where they live.

That is all.

[Rookie (Rodney)]

Lets goooo Fins! Turn over the MF Jets one time.

can we not lose to the jets now as long as pats lose and win the division, no?

In that eventuality, the three clubs would all be 10-6 and it would come down to who has the best won-lost percentage in games among the three clubs.

Jets would be 0.750 having two wins over the fins and a win and a loss against NE
NE would be 0.500 having a win and a loss against each club
Miami would be 0.250 and finish third.

You need to beat the Jets.

[thetank]

As Longy says though, a Miami win means you win the division, even if New England also win.

The tie break procedures are as follows...

1. Head to head record.

One win apiece.

2. Divisional record

Also identical, with one loss each to the Jets, and both beating Buffalo twice.

3. Common games

Both cluns have played the following teams outside the division...
Kansas City, San Diego, Denver, St Louis, Seattle, Oakland and Arizona.

Both are 6 for 1.
Miami losing to Arizona, and New England losing to San Diego.

4. Record within your conference.

This is where it is finally settled.
All five of New England's loses have been against AFC opponents
Only four of Miami's loses have been againt a team from the AFC, so they have a better record within the conference.


All you have to do is pump the Jets. Piece of piss, the Broncos managed it.

tyty.

It makes a huge difference Longy, the Pats play early kickoff on Sunday so if they win the Jets are playing for nothing. You telling me that a team playing for a spot in the playoffs is going to be the same as a team who has just been eliminated from the running? I beg to differ.

I will be rooting on the Pats in the 1pm game and when they win that i am praying the Jets just roll over!

Fins 8-1 last 9 games most inform in the league? (obv the 1 loss was the game i went too....)

As a side note, how sick was Panthers Giants game? I had a massive (well for me anyway) bet on the panthers @ just short of 2-1 they should never have been that long, how they lost i will never know but that missed field goal was a 5 digit dollar loss!!! grrrr

Last time I looked the Jets game was an early kickoff as well, they appear to have changed this which is really unfair on the pats, but obv quite funny. The NFL have obviously bowed to TV requests than fairness of the game, they should all kickoff at the same time if games are effected by one another. The Chargers Broncos game is fine as it effects no other game.

I agree the Jets have nothing to play for makes a difference, but at the time of writing above the situation was different. The fact remains Miami have to win Sundays game irrelevant of the Jets result last weekend.

I am out of the UK and while they show games over herethey seem to be the most awful choice ever and with some sod cutting cables under the Med, the internet is moving at the speed of a snail. So no chance of a stream, FML the phins biggest game in a number of years and I won't see it.

HD ftw!

Bit steep though, $24.99 for a weekly pass.

[gatso]

if the pats win then I think the fins will abs destroy the jets tbh. it was only a few weeks ago that we were being touted as potential afc champions and I think that suddenly finding we have nothing to play for will destroy us mentally.

however if the pats lose the last game will be a cracker. can't see a pats loss though unfortunately

Does anyone know if sky are showing the playoff games and the probowl?

(I assume they're showing the Superbowl...ldo)

Is the probowl the best of NFC v best of AFC?
If so they showed it last year so i suspect they will do the same this year.
