May still need to win out for the #1 seed.

After we buffalo being a concern, our divisional playoff opponent will be a concern, then the championship opponent will be a concern. Every opponent is a concern right now. We cant play the browns next 4 weeks to go to the superbowl. At some point we have to appreciate our team thanw orry about who is going to beat us every time we play. Every opponent can beat us but I like our chances.

It's pretty simple at this point.

In a 2-way NE-PIT tie, NE wins based on head-to-head.
In a 2-way NE-JAX tie, JAX wins based on conference record.
In a 3-way NE-PIT-JAX tie, JAX wins because both JAX and NE beat PIT, which knocks PIT out of the tiebreaker, leaving the 2-way NE-JAX tiebreaker, which JAX wins based on conference record.

So to get the #1 seed NE has to win the same number of games that PIT wins and has to win the same number of games that JAX wins, since NE has to have the same or better record than PIT and has to finish at least one game ahead of JAX.

God damnit.

Or put another way, NE clinches a bye with a NE win against anyone and a JAX loss to anyone. And NE clinches #1 with a NE win against anyone, a PIT loss to anyone, and a JAX loss to anyone.

How absolutely ELITE is it that Jimmy Garappolo can help us BIGLY by beating the Jags?

no.

My gut is that the Pats are going to be up on the Bills. At that point the Bills may realize the season is over. That is when the cheap stuff is going to take place etc Gronk etc.

How is that helping us? We win 2 home games against bad teams we are the 1.

I guess you don’t know what trolling means..? Because I’m definitely not trolling in this thread. Not only am I not trolling, you couldn’t even make that argument because it makes no sense.

How does it help us? If we are 13-3 it doesn’t matter whether Jacksonville is 12-4,11-5 or 10-6.

So you admit you were trolling in other threads. Ok, at least you are honest about it.

Come on bro, take that stick out of your ass.

It’s only trolling if you don’t believe what you’re saying... but I can see how pink helmets would accuse me of trolling in other threads. (But I believe everything I say)

At my age, being able to win the Powerball twice in a row is far more likely.
