Not trying to be a jerk, but I fail to see your thesis here:

That was only one and a half seasons ago. Surely you remember that.

Maybe you guys don't understand how the wildcard works. It goes to the two non-division-winning teams in the conference with the best records. It doesn't go to who has the best draft picks. At this point we are guaranteed nothing and in the last decade, when we didn't win the division we ALWAYS, 100% missed getting in to the wildcard.
How is this relevant to who wins Pitt/Oakland? Obviously we all want the Pats to keep winning and secure a #1 or #2 seed, but the Patriots future record is 0.00% dependent upon who wins the Pitt/Oakland game.

If you are arguing that we need Pitt to lose more so they can't be a threat to get a #1 or #2 seed, that makes more sense, but honestly the Raiders if they win are just as much of a threat to get there at this point as both will be 6-4, only Raiders are in a weaker division and we don't own the tie-breaker vs. them.

So by your own condescending logic, we should actually be pulling for Pitt.

Well good day today ...

We won and the Raider lost.

Bills won and now Carolina has the 33rd pick to themselves.


Bad part here is that there are 3 tow win teams in Bills, Lions and Bengals competing for #33.

Don't forget to include the Vikings in the discussion (#3). The way thier season is going we will be picking very early in the third.
