J-E-T-S Blow! The! Game!

Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Favre chokes! Jets lose! Pats live to see another week!

Well, well, well Mr. Favrah. The day after Romo chokes on the big one, you follow suit. There's just something about that West Coast that you just can't seem to overcome this year huh?

As you are all aware, the Pats won earlier today, bringing them to 10-5. The Dolphins also won bringing them 10-5. The Dolphins are currently in first place over the Pats due to division record. The Jets fall to 9-6 and third place in the AFC East.

We've been saying this all along. As long as we keep winning we can count on the Jets and Dolphins to screw up their own destiny. That's exactly what we've been doing, and that's exactly what the Jets did today. Come on Brett! You couldn't take down the Seahawks? A team with literally nothing to play for while you guys had everything to play for!

Let's go over the ways the Pats can get into the playoffs. If the Pats win next week in Buffalo (something like 10 straight wins over Buffalo):

Scenario 1:
Baltimore loses to Jacksonville, falls to 10-6. Miami beats Jets, improves to 11-5.
Pats clinch wildcard over Baltimore, Miami clinches division.

Scenario 2: Baltimore beats Jacksonville, improves to 11-5 and clinches wildcard. Jets beat Miami, both teams end up at 10-6. BOTH teams miss playoffs. Pats clinch division over Jets and Dolphins.

You read it right folks. If the Jets win next week and the Patriots win next week, the Jets will have paved the way for the Patriots to make the playoffs. All three of these meaningful games are played at 1:00pm next weekend. It's literally a race to the finish.

If Baltimore loses and Miami loses, I have no idea who makes the playoffs as the wildcard. I hope the Ravens don't because I'd rather play the Dolphins or Jets any day over the Ravens. I'm not about to slave over the numbers to determine who the wildcard is. I'd rather wait for ESPN or someone else to break it down for us all.

All I know is this- for once in my life next week I will be cheering on the Jets. Once the Pats win in Buffalo, and the Jets win in New York, I will send out my belated Christmas card to Eric Mangini thanking him for all he has done for the Pats.

Who would have thought after Week 1 that we would be talking about playoffs?! A backup quarterback who hadn't started a game since high school leads his NFL team to the playoffs and wins the Super Bowl!



Hey pal, you forgot "Biggest no show when it actually counts". Also, nice yellow background. I wonder if that was premeditated?
