5-3 still 1st in the division

[TheGodInAGreyHoodie]

Oh joy! 5-3 when they should be 6-2.

Did you think we would be 5-3 and tied for first in the division at mid-season at the end of the first quarter of the first game?

 

[jcdavey]

Yeah and they came back with wins the next two weeks.

The 06 Pats lost to an abysmal Miami team. Who cares. Its week to week in the NFL, especially this year.

yeah i just don't think the jets will do it, we'll see

i think miami's got that division, despite being in last.

I would not....

Have you watched Cassel the past three weeks? If we lose to one of these teams more than likely it won't be because of Cassel if he keeps playing the way he has.

Cassel beat a mediocre Denver team and an abysmal Rams team. And put up 15 points of offense tonight.

Looks mediocre to me.

Pats are a moderately above average team without Brady, just like the Fins, Bills, and Jets. Gonna be a dog fight all year.

Once a defense is able to get pressure on Penny the picks will come, trust me, i had to deal with him for 6 years

===================================================

Momentum is definetly with the Jets and fish. These next few game will be almost must wins for both the Bills and Pats

 

[Patjew]

Jets play the Fish in week 17, that game may wind up being the division championship game.

Wow, wouldn't that be nuts!

Yup.

Gotta say, regardless of who comes out on top of the division, it being competitive again, when it hadn't been for years, is definitely refreshing

I was going to say....who would have seen this coming....the Playoffs really coming down the the next few weeks to battle out wildcard slots.....

Sorry, dup. post.

How so? Pats have won 2 out of their last 3 and are still in fitst place, technically.

The Bills are tanking, but the Pats are in a different situation. They're getting better, loss or not tonight.

Yes it will. Nobody is clinching this division week 14. I expect that that week 17 our game against Buffalo and Jets vs. Mia will matter.

 

[Gunnails]

Sorry, dup. post.

==================================================

Well it is still a trend,, isn't it?

 

[Gunnails]

Jets are in 1st place because head to head does not come into play untill all the div. games are completed, and the Jets have a better div record then the Bills and Pats.
Pats in 2nd, then bills 3rd and Miami one game back


Jets= 5-3 (2-1 div)

Pats= 5-3 (1-1) div)

Bills= 5-3 (0-2 div)

Miami= 4-4 (2-1 div)

Just want to keep things clear.

Makes sense right?


Edit: because I messed up.

 

[102 Pat]

Miami is actually 4-4 right now.

Thanks for pointing that out, I fixed it.

Wrong. Head-to-head is first, division record second, so the JEST are not first.

If you don't believe me, see NFL Standings: Division.

How do you feel about our chances against Buffalo?

 

[Gunnails]

The NFL nver does a good job with tiebreakers on their site. The way the rules work Jets are actually in 1st place today. Because the Bills and Pats have yet to play the 1st tiebreaker that would be used is divisional record and the Jets have the best of the 3. The way ties work in the NFL is that is 1 team is better than all the others they are tied with they win the tiebreaker outright rather than just knocking off the lowest team and then redoing the procedure(where the Jets would lose because of the head to head with NE).

=========================================================

Good, as long as Buff continues to turn the ball over.

Pats 24- Bills 14.
