Patriots play-off hopes get slimmer

[stcjones]

We've had so much bad luck from the other games, I expect payback in the form of a Jets-Phins tie.

You know....all these "I can't believe none of these OTHER teams are helping us out here" posts are getting old. If the Pats did what they were supposed to in several key games....they would control their own destiny. But lets be honest, this is a team that was not expected to go ANYWHERE when Brady went down. But, they have done a TREMENDOUS job pulling it all together and proving alot of these a-holes wrong. The sad thing is, they will most likely not make it into postseason despite really playing their a##es off. If the Jests lose....I will feel alot better.....but Seattle is pretty awful.

Sure we screwed the pooch a few times earlier this year, made our own bed, yada yada. But if we go 11-5, it's not too much to ask for just a little bit of help or luck. Teams regularly get help down the stretch in order to get into the playoffs. always been that way.

This has been an amazing year all the same and I've never been prouder of the Pats.

Has everyone on this board gone to the Donovan McNabb school of football?

even if the Jets win this week, if we beat the jills and the rats and fish tie we win the division.

That is the least likely and almost impossible scenario to happen though.

 

[IcyPatriot]

I hope so too!

Jets un porco
Favre un cretino
Mangini, un figlio di puttana, mangia pesce morte!

Mangini es un pendejo ...

 

[Wevegotmossyouaintgotoss]

Common guys lets get a rally chant going, Seattle need to hold this lead in to the half!!!!

 

[Wevegotmossyouaintgotoss]

END OF THIRD QUARTER>....Ive just realised that its the 3rd 1/4 and not the half, Im a complete plonker

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Buffalo about to take the lead on Denver. Who'd have thought that right now the Chargers playoff hopes would look better than ours

i dont count ties because they happen once every 7 years and we already had a tie. if you are counting on a tie you are on crack cocaine

 

[Wevegotmossyouaintgotoss]

Why is it, on 3rd downs i seem to always hear mel gibson in braveheart.............."HOLD........HOOOLD"

 

[blackglass3]

So, theoretically, there could be 2 8-8 teams (SD and Zona) in the playoffs, and one 11-5 team at sitting at home?

Ridiculous.

 

[Wevegotmossyouaintgotoss]

You do realise Zona = a swear word in hebrew, its a clever joke if your doing it for that.

Damn NFL. I still don't understand American sports sometimes, as much as I love them now.

Counting on no. But I would have no problem rooting for one.

The are only 2 ways for the Pats to make the play-offs now.

1) The Jets lose out AND Baltimore loses. The Pats would enter as the Wild-Card

2) The Jets lose this week, beat Miami next week and Baltimore loses. The Pats would enter as the Wild Card.

That's the only way I can see the Pats making the play-offs because they don't have the tie-breakers.

If anyone has corrections, please don't hesitate to post it because I could use some good news.

None of that is correct. You just confused Patriot Nation. Your posting rights are hereby rescinded.
