Wow, TO you suck. Catch the fucking ball.

And holy shit how bad/good/bad/good/bad/good/awesome/fucking horrible can the Steelers look from play to play ? Jesus it's annoying and dumbfounding all at once. They look like the best team in the league for a series and then shit the bed for a quarter. Holy hell.

And yay Titans. Too bad those Collins and Gage guys aren't any good :P Seriously though, the Packers win is looking better and better, and each week they continue to grind out the wins. I'm liking it. I am still waiting for someone to put together a complete game against them to see how they do. This week against the Jets should be one hell of a game.

Oh, and that DeAngelo Hall guy did pretty good against that stacked Dallas WR attack :shifty:

Good job Indy. They've clawed their way back into it and are now fighting only three other teams for two playoff spots. It'll be interesting to see what happens with the AFC East though because both New England and Miami have the potential to finish at 10-6. So who'd be the second wildcard ? If we've got a 10-6 NE/NY/Indy ? What's the first tiebreaker and so on ? I can see this being a very real scenario.

What justification is there for wanting his career, thus his livelihood, and the ability to do something he probably enjoys doing quite a bit? Purely because he has so far not been as good as his pre-

It's mindblowingly difficult to sort out until you actually get there because you'd need to know what games each team won, their division/conference record, point differentials etc, but here are the rules straight from NFL.com.

TO BREAK A TIE WITHIN A DIVISION

If, at the end of the regular season, two or more clubs in the same division finish with identical won-lost-tied percentages, the following steps will be taken until a champion is determined.

Two Clubs

1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs).

2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.

3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games.

4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.

5. Strength of victory.

6. Strength of schedule.

7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.

8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.

9. Best net points in common games.

10. Best net points in all games.

11. Best net touchdowns in all games.

12. Coin toss

Three or More Clubs

(Note: If two clubs remain tied after third or other clubs are eliminated during any step, tie breaker reverts to step 1 of the two-club format).

1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games among the clubs).

2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.

3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games.

4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.

5. Strength of victory.

6. Strength of schedule.

7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.

8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.

9. Best net points in common games.

10. Best net points in all games.

11. Best net touchdowns in all games.

12. Coin toss

And now the rest . . .

TO BREAK A TIE FOR THE WILD-CARD TEAM

If it is necessary to break ties to determine the two Wild-Card clubs from each conference, the following steps will be taken.

1. If the tied clubs are from the same division, apply division tie breaker.

2. If the tied clubs are from different divisions, apply the following steps.

Two Clubs

1. Head-to-head, if applicable.

2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.

3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.

4. Strength of victory.

5. Strength of schedule.

6. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.

7. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.

8. Best net points in conference games.

9. Best net points in all games.

10. Best net touchdowns in all games.

11. Coin toss.

Three or More Clubs

(Note: If two clubs remain tied after third or other clubs are eliminated, tie breaker reverts to step 1 of applicable two-club format.)

1. Apply division tie breaker to eliminate all but the highest ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to step 2. The original seeding within a division upon application of the division tie breaker remains the same for all subsequent applications of the procedure that are necessary to identify the two Wild-Card participants.

2. Head-to-head sweep. (Applicable only if one club has defeated each of the others or if one club has lost to each of the others.)

3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.

4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.

5. Strength of victory.

6. Strength of schedule.

7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.

8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.

9. Best net points in conference games.

10. Best net points in all games.

11. Best net touchdowns in all games.

12. Coin toss

When the first Wild-Card team has been identified, the procedure is repeated to name the second Wild-Card, i.e., eliminate all but the highest-ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to step 2. In situations where three or more teams from the same division are involved in the procedure, the original seeding of the teams remains the same for subsequent applications of the tie breaker if the top-ranked team in that division qualifies for a Wild-Card berth.

Ugh, what an ugly game. The Steelers dominated every aspect and nearly lose because of penalties (some legit, some bogus). I'm still wondering what it's going to take for officials to start seeing James Harrison being held.

That'll happen the same day the officials admit they kind of just throw flags against Pittsburgh and Baltimore based on reputation.

I don't like Baltimore's chances to make the playoffs unless we win the division. Indy's got a legit shot, and are looking dangerous again. I think there are gonna be two teams from the AFC East because of them all having easy schedules (Two of NY, Miami, and NE are going to finish 10-6... and, hell, Buffalo has a shot too if they get their shit together).

What is 'strength of victory'? The combined points by which a team has won by in all of their victories? Or the combined victories of the teams that they have defeated? Or something else?

Strength of schedule is the records of the opposing teams, so strength of victory would = point differential in their wins?

When you miss a field goal but it would go for a touchback, IE out of the endzone, you get one point. I think.

Yeah, if you kick the ball out of the end zone on the opening kick off or anything you get one point. There's no fair catches so they always have to return it.

So miss a field goal? No big deal, you get a point.

Yeah... Canadian football is :lol: worthy.

That said, Aussie Rules is pure carnage to watch.

Strength of victory is figured by calculating the combined winning percentage of the opponents a team has beaten. I guess it was put in to negate the difference between two tied teams when one plays in a stacked division and the other plays in the NFC Worst :shifty:

Not going to lie Brady forced some throws throughout the game and lucked out a couple times with the dropped interceptions. With that being said he still looked confident in the pocket other then when he was getting bull rushed and would have completed more of his passes if A) he had more time for some of the throws and B) our team didn't continue to have a case of the dropsies. Overall he really didn't have that bad of a game and got the short end of the stick on some bad play calling. The ? that I really have is why isnt Jerome Harrison sharing more carries with J. Lewis, ever time Harrison is out there he seems like he is making plays.
