So their dream of winning and in is BULLSHIT like I said.....Thank you sir.They need help even if they beat us.Good deal.:clap:

And it's just as WRONG the second time - except your link is broken so it's even MORE wrong.

Fixed

thanks, my head hurts now

So looking at that they need a win and help right? Maybe Im looking at it wrong cause thats what I said at first,but that has to be wrong since I'm not a donk fan.ROFL

I'll worry when YAHOO SPORTS starts awarding playoff spots instead of the NFL.

For now, I'm going to go with WIN AND IN.

Here's CBSSPORTS version. They're only going to broadcast the games - why should they know anything?

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/standin...yoffrace/seeds

**** I don't even know any more.


I know that Baltimore beat Denver, has the same conference record as Denver. The only thing left to debate is the Jets and Denver's common opponents.

What gives?

Normally I'd agree but the last bracket I saw after the Donk/Philly game showed your team at #7 just like that bracket shows.So thats why I went with you guys needing a win and help.Guess we'll see when the NFL updates theirs.

NFL.COM is fully updated.

They would have to CORRECT it, which is a whole different animal.

From the article:

The Broncos (8-7) are trying to avoid a major collapse after starting 6-0. They no longer control their playoff destiny and are tied with four other teams for the final two wild-card spots in the AFC.

We shall see, but that makes two sources just as reliable as the unreliable NFL.

The Donks should fire their coach and trade Orton and Chicago's 1st round pick to Cleveland for QB Anderson.

That's what the local news reported after the game here in donktown.

I don't know,the one that is up on NFL.com shows them ahead of Baltimore so I guess with a win they are in.:shake:


Fukkn pitiful.:banghead:

Here is Adam Schefter's latest twitter post:

AFC picture coming into focus: If Jets beat Bengals, they're in. If Ravens beat Raiders, they're in. Broncos, Texans, Steelers need help.

Here's the actual rule:

Three or More Clubs
(Note: If two clubs remain tied after third or other clubs are eliminated, tie breaker reverts to step 1 of applicable two-club format.)

1. Apply division tie breaker to eliminate all but the highest ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to step 2. The original seeding within a division upon application of the division tie breaker remains the same for all subsequent applications of the procedure that are necessary to identify the three Wild-Card participants.
2. Head-to-head sweep. (Applicable only if one club has defeated each of the others or if one club has lost to each of the others.)
3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.
5. Strength of victory.
6. Strength of schedule.
7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
9. Best net points in conference games.
10. Best net points in all games.
11. Best net touchdowns in all games.
12. Coin toss.


When the first Wild-Card team has been identified, the procedure is repeated to name the second Wild-Card, i.e., eliminate all but the highest-ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to step 2, and repeated a third time, if necessary, to identify the third Wild Card. In situations where three or more teams from the same division are involved in the procedure, the original seeding of the teams remains the same for subsequent applications of the tie breaker if the top-ranked team in that division qualifies for a Wild-Card berth.

Step 1 drops Pittsburgh.
Step 3 drops Houston.
Down to Step 5. This identifies Denver as the top wildcard seed. They are pulled out and put on the board, then the remaining four teams go back to Step 1.

:clap:

You put the NFL's own rules onto paper, and it works out just like Yahoo.com predicts.


With that said, the Jets and Ravens better win, because our chances against Denver are pretty bad.

Adam Schefter is wrong. :doh!:

Adam Schefter is never wrong. He's a machine.

How dare you!!!ROFL

Hell the Raiders beat them.:D

I am thinking so as well. This is all so confusing.

Ya, I still have a little hope, but reality will always show up to kick me in the balls.

I suppose next week's games might give everyone enough common games to move the tiebreaker up to Step 4 ? :spock:

MY ****ING BRAIN HURTS NOW

Well hopefully we will beat them and all the quantum physics wont come into play.What I wanna know is,where the fukk is Knowshit?

If you are like me, the pain is hardly noticable due it's size.

He has been entertaining from time to time.

Would you return to a board when your team is in epic implosion mode?

Us-no

Knowmo-Probably

Wow, It must suck being a Donkey fan these last couple of years.
Snatching Defeat from the jaws of Victory.
How cruel...

I'd consider it.

I thought some of his comics were ok.......Well not really.:D

Misery likes company.:)

ROFL

You are in my OK book, though.


Knowmo is full Homer on a rival's board. That takes balls, lack of brain matter, or both.


He never makes personal insults or takes things personally. He almost always has a positive attitude. Just by having these attributes make him better then 25% of the board right off the bat.

Enh, it could be worse...

MHM you are smart have you figured out the playoff scenarios yet?

I think Denver needs some help in the sense that they need for there to be a 3-way tie at 9-7 that includes the Jets.

I think Denver needs help in the sense that they will need the Jets to beat Cincinnati so that the Jets are in the tiebreaker because Denver wins a three way tiebreaker against the Ravens and/or Steelers, but they lost head to head to both and would lose 2-team tiebreakers to either of them.

If the Jets lost, Denver might need Texans to win because they might still win a three way tiebreaker if the Texans are part of it.

I think the Sportsline and Yahoo standings are correct for now, but the Broncos could still win next week and not be in, depending on how many 9-7 teams there are and who they are.

Tell me aboot it... I've been a cHarger fan for many, many, years...:eek:

They need help alright cause the Chiefs are gonna smash them in Incestco @ Pile high.ROFL

Yeah I know,but its all I got left for this season.:cuss:

Here's FoxSports.

They echo NFL.com and CBS.

The difference from Yahoo is they don't apply the "common games" step. I wonder if Yahoo has a clear idea what qualifies as "common games."

http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/n...ture?GT1=39002

If you guys summon cdcox, all will become clear.

What do we have to do? Say his name three times?

They are going to clarify it on the NBC halftime show coming up

Isn't your avatar enacting the ritual for that even as we speak?

I guess that makes more sense,giving that the Donks have a better division record.:cuss: oh well.....:banghead:

The one they just showed at halftime shows different.Makes you wonder who the hell knows whats going on.

Dunno, maybe fire up the coxlight or something...

Just heard it on NBC half-time show:


Denver IS 7th and NEEDS HELP TO GET IN THE ****ING PLAYOFFS.


Is that enough?

AFC Playoff Scenarios from NBC

Ravens win they are in
Broncos are listed in the #7 seed

They also moved the Bengals/Jets game to Sunday Night

No, that's not enough. There's obviously some disagreement. Like NBC disagreeing with themselves, for example:

AFC playoff matchups

Wild-card round, Jan. 9-10

No. 5 Broncos (8-7) at No. 4 Bengals (10-5, AFC North champ)


No. 6 Ravens (8-7) at No. 3 Patriots (10-5, AFC East champ)

Second round, Jan. 16-17

Lower-ranked team at No. 1 Colts (14-0, AFC South champ)

Higher-ranked team at No. 2 Chargers (12-3, AFC West champ)

Explaining the seedings:

Patriots seeded ahead of Bengals because of better strength of victory.

Broncos seeded ahead of Jets and Ravens because of better strength of victory.

http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/34212203/ns/sports-nfl/

LOL well played Mr. Orange.


I envy your grit in sticking to your guns.

The Jets beat the Bengals' back-ups, they're in. The Ravens beat Oakland, they're in.

Sorry Dungver. You're out. BWAHAHAHAHAHA

Yeah they're saying one thing,but NFL.com is showing another.Hmmmm.

So, the donx tie with the Ravens, they lose the tiebreaker. Tie with the Steelers, they lose the tiebreaker. Tie with them both, they win the tiebreaker?

If that's the case, that seems really bizarre...

Wild-card round, Jan. 9-10

No. 5 Broncos (8-7) at No. 4 Bengals (10-5, AFC North champ)


No. 6 Ravens (8-7) at No. 3 Patriots (10-5, AFC East champ)

Source: NBC Sports.

The Steelers at 9-7 after beating Miami also win the tie-breaker vs Denver due to head-to-head. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

That won't happen. Only one team per division is considered. If the Ravens win, Pittsburgh would be dropped before comparing them to Denver.

Read what I just wrote.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA indeed.

This as the same NBC Sports reports it on TV during half-time.


At least we aren't the only people that aren't in agreement.


Does anyone know. CDcox?!?!?!

I could swear I was predicting an 8-8 or 9-7 finish for them when they were 6-0, but I'm too ****ing lazy to dig up old posts.

That was my broken clock prediction of the year.

You need to read the fine print

Records through Dec. 20

Like I said,lets hope for a KC win and it wont fukkn matter.We win,and Merlin can't get Mcfistpump in the playoffs.

Why are their records updated?


They are doing this to get ratings and site hits.


Smart Bastards.

Teams were 8-7 on Dec. 20?

Now my brain hurts. I'm just going to wait until the week of the playoffs and look up the damn TV listings.

Go, whoever-needs-to-go! I'm behind you 100%, and always have been.

Either that or they are amazing at predicting games. What the hell?

Good question it is all ****ed up.

They have the Ravens in the #7 seed but have them playing No. 6 Ravens (8-7) at No. 3 Patriots (10-5, AFC East champ)

LMAO

If it DOES come down to Sanchez having to lose too, that's even more ironic and we-should-have-seen-it-coming.

I said when they were 6-0 that they woukd not make the playoffs. ROFL Still sticking to it.

I think the only way that would be true is if a Jets victory over the Bengals and a Broncos victory over the Chiefs changes the strength of victory rankings.

That seems possible since Cincy would be 10-6 and the Chiefs would be 3-13.

I think Broncos need Jets to be a part of a three-way tiebreaker and Broncos need to stay ahead of Jets in strength of victory.

Otherwise Broncos would need Steelers and Ravens to lose.

This sh*t's complicated.

If the Jets lose and everyone else wins, the Broncos are in no matter what. They will have a better Conference Record than anyone but Baltimore -and there's two wildcard spots, Baltimore will only use up one of them.

They just said on ESPN that Denver is officially ahead right now, but if the Jets and Ravens win, they're in.

That is great news for Donkey haters everywhere.

What the NFL has posted is what would happen if the season ended today..but it doesn't it so everything will change if the Ravens win

I bet the reason for that would be that Jets strength of victory would go ahead of Broncos because Bengals have much better record than Chiefs.

If ESPN is right about the result and I am right about the reason then Jets would get #5 seed and the Denver loses out to Ravens for #6 seed in a two way tiebreaker because of head to head loss to Ravens.

Good work. It finally makes sense.

Okay, I may be wrong but here is how I understand it:

If Denver wins next week, there is only one scenario that keeps them out of the playoffs:

BAL W
PIT W
NYJ L
HOU L

Not exactly what I wanted to hear but I'll take it I guess.:doh!:

Well, Denver is NOT in control of their own destiny. Outside factors control whether or not they "earn" a spot.

They have favorable conditions, though.

How about we just pull the upset and shit all over their season :)

I'm not cdcox, but I play his loyal sidekick on TV.

According to his software, which as far as I know has never been wrong, Denver DOES NOT control its own destiny. If Baltimore and the Jets win next week, they're in, and Denver is out.

This.

I have no idea whether you're correct, but that's a pretty damned likely scenario.

Baltimore at Oakland
Pittsburgh at Miami
Cincinnati at New York Jets
New England at Houston

Ah, shit. I'm going back to the freaking TV listings.
