| | The Jags should hope they can make it to 10 and 6. It's looking more and more like it won't happen. |

| | Pending on who the other two losses are to, 10-6 can/prolly will get us in... Let's just get to 10-6, which at this point would be a great success, and let the rest work itself out...

| Why assume we will not win 10 games? Did you see who is on our schedule? First, I know we have to play all division opponents again - that is three AFC games. After playing at Cincinnati next week, we still have one more AFC North team that lost to the Steelers: Baltimore in Week 17. That is five AFC games. Can we win all five? Of course, beating Tennessee would be a huge upset, but still possible under the "any given Sunday" rule. Even if we lose that one we can still be four of six in the South by beating both the Colts and Texans again. I will be shocked if we lose at Cincy or Detroit. (The Lions will help us improve our overall record.) The Ravens aren't great either and I think we can beat them. (Cats kill birds, don't they?) I see 4 out of 5 - at Cincinnati, home against Indianapolis, at Houston, and at Baltimore. If we do win all four of those games we will have 8 AFC wins for the year. Add either Chicago or Minnesota and Detroit and we finish 10-6.

I disagree. 10-6 will definitely make the playoffs for the Jaguars. However, we must beat Indy and Houston in our Wrap-Up: If the Jaguars finish 10-6 and are able to beat Houston on MNF and Indy in Jax, they will definitely make the playoffs. Can they go 7-2 the rest of the way, I'm not sure. I hope so but I'm not guaranteeing it. In your scenario if any team OTHER than the colts go 10-6 the Jags would LOSE the tiebreaker to the other team. Simply because of the AFC record. No. If any team other than the Colts go 10-6, so it is Jags and 1 other team at 10-6, then it's a head-to-head tie breaker first. If you meant if any team in addition to the Colts go 10-6 . . . - then yes, you might be right because the tie breakers rules for 3 ways are different than they are for 2 ways. As it is in any situation.

| | I think if the Jags get to 10-6 they probably get in. I think their main comp willk be from the Pats or Bills for a spot. AFCEAST has easiest out of conference. I don't like a wildcard coming from the North since I think Baltimore is a fraud and Cleveland's schedule is brutal. IMHO Jags must do these mandatory things to get a spot. 1. Go 2 of 3 inside the divsion, barring solmething somewhat spectacular this would probably assure themselves of 2nd place inside the division. Thus knocking out Colts and or Texans right there. As much as I am a true believer, the diviosn is probably done. So if the two wins are aginst Indy and Hou, you hav sweeps. That would virtually lock up a spot right there, depending on... 2. Win next two and at Baltimore. Can't have any kind of run without beating these saps next two games. and need the conference wins against Cincy and certinaly at Baltimore final game where they will probably have to win to get in. 3. Win 3 of 4 against NFC north. That affords one loss to Chicago, Minnesota, or GB That gets 10 wins. At that point I can't see 2 other teams outside division winners with 10 or more. So tat would take out tiebreaker problems right there A hypothesis. 1. Pitt, I think they beat Titans for head to head 2. Tennessee 3. Buffalo, had their hickup in Miami 4. San Diego, I think they roll in 2nd half 5. NE 6. Jax, this of course is based on them getting themselves together. They really hurt themselves with the Cleveland loss. But I think they rally and play much better 2nd half of year. |

| | All this talk about how the AFC is not as dominant as it was in recent years, and how it's now wide open, and 10-6 won't get us in? Let's just see how it plays out. |

How many of you have actually read the full schedules of all AFC teams this year? I think every AFC team except the Raiders, Bengals, and Texans will stay in the race until after Thanksgiving because 8-8 is good enough in the NFC, so the NFL doesn't rule out any team that could win half of its games until there are too many winning teams to let them sneak in the back door. Also think about this: What is the division record for the other AFC teams? Before a conference record tie is considered, they look at the division records. If we beat all three division opponents for five of six AFC South games, how will we compare to a team in a different AFC division with the same overall record? Hmmm, let's see . . . Denver beat the Chargers and Raiders but lost ot Kansas City. Pittsburgh beat Baltimore, but look at who the Ravens defeated. (Baltimore is Week 17 for us.) New England beat the Jets, but not the Dolphins? Who lost to Buffalo so far in the AFC East? Now look at the conference opponents. San Diego lost where Jacksonville won: the Mile High City. That will help if we get to the common opponents tiebreaker. I agree. The NFC is the power conference this year. The tide has turned.... year
