all 3teams tied in the afc east. fins and jets are the healthiest teams in the league and pats are in ICU. We are still tied .

We all expect a lot from our team and we have lots of issues right now on defense but just think...its nothing short of amazing we still have a shot at making the playoffs.
That said, i would be surprised if dallas doesnt beat baltimore on saturday night at home.We just need to handle zona and the bills . And we might get the JESTS on wild card weekend.

Anyone know off-hand how many 11-5 teams have not made the playoffs?

1 team has gone 11-5 and missed the playoffs, the Denver Broncos in 1985.

All we could hope for is to win our games.. I think Arizona will be the last tough game.. We cant control what the jets and miami does, 1 team will be out of the playoffs and If we have to go in as a wild card and have a team win the division, I would rather see Miami win, and then we would go to Miami and play them ..

Granted he never started before this season, but Cassel is hardly a rookie.

Correct. But no team has gone 11-5 and missed the Playoffs since the league moved to the current format in 1990 (six playoff teams in each Conference).

Disagree. I think the Cards will be tough, no doubt, especially if the weather is unseasonably nice. But, the shamed Bills will be playing their Super Bowl if beating us means keeping the Pats out of the Playoffs. That will be a war.

Why all the obsession with "no team has ever gone 11-5 and missed the playoffs? Even given that Denver's miss was with a different playoff format, both statements mean nothing. It's chanting a magical mantra that's meaningless.

Here are the salient facts. It is quite mathematically possible for the Pats to go 11-5 and be out. Better yet, it is even quite PROBABLE that this could occur, given the Pats win out. The odds of this team possiblilty going 11-5 and playing golf in January, actually INCREASED after last Sunday's results with the Pats, Jets and Phins winning. Our current most probable playoff berth shot is for Dallas to beat Baltimore.

More silliness.

There is always something to play for in division games. Way too much rivalry to shut it down against a division opponent. Especially in AFCE (and NFCE, NFCN, AFCN, AFCW).

You do understand that games are won and lost depending on how teams play, right, not when their QB last started a game. This is like the argument that Russell played better than Cassel last Sunday because Russell was a #1 pick in the draft, and Cassel was a late round pick. None of the matters in a game, Bunky.

Anyway, who are you talking about? The Patriots QB last started a game a couple days ago.
