  • So if the Browns don't make it to the playoffs this year, will the ticket prices come down ?

    The big news coming out of last week almost all in the AFC East. The Bills have dropped to 4th...and the Jets have captured the lead for the moment...with MIAMI actually ahead of NE for the WC spot. The Steelers squeaked out a victory over SD giving them sole lead in the North...and Indy continued it's streak and is now temporarily back in the playoffs. Denver's win solidified it's lead in the West.

    Here are the standing as of now:

    East: NY Jets 7-3

    West: Denver 6-4

    North: Pittsburgh 7-3

    South: Tennessee 10-0

    And here are the CURRENT wildcard leaders:

    WC #1: Indianapolis 6-4

    WC #2: Baltimore 6-4

    The next group is:

    Miami: 6-4

    New England: 6-4

    Buffalo: 5-5

    Still Alive (but barely)

    San Diego: 4-6

    Cleveland: 4-6

    Jacksonville: 4-6

    As for the key games this coming week:

    NY Jets @ Tennessee - Jets handled NE, but Tennessee is on an entirely different level. I really don't see Favre getting the time needed to have a big game...and without that, the Jets won't win. Expect a close game, but Tennessee at home should prove victorious!

    Indianapolis @ San Diego- Indy is playing for their playoff lives...and winning!!! SD is playing for THEIR playoff lives...and LOSING. The lack of a pass rush from SD will prove to be their undoing and Manning will sit back and pick them apart.

    New England @ Miami - Cassel is the flavor of the month...but he has done it against D's that don't get after the QB. Miami and Porter DO get after the QB...and Pennington knows how to beat the NE defense. Miami will continue its miracle turnaround and NE will come back to earth.

    Other Games

    Cincinnati @ Pittsburgh - Steelers are having problems. They have lost 2 of the last 3 and even the win was a squeaker. The Bengals have found new life, going 1-0-1 over their past 2 games (and a bye) and did it against good teams. This will be a tough game that Pittsburgh SHOULD win....but Cinci isn't listening to SHOULD!

    Houston @ Cleveland - It was UGLY! It was SCARY! It was TOO CLOSE! But it was a WIN! And the offense is averaging 29.5 points per game with Quinn at QB. It has also had 6 and 7 scoring drives respectively. Houston gives up 28.7 points per game...so expect more of the same...a shootout!!! Cleveland gets healthy at home with it's 2nd straight win.

    Buffalo @ Kansas City - Buffalo has now lost 4 straight games...and KC has been SOOO close lately. I think the demoralized bills go into KC and lay an egg!!!

    Philadelphia @ Baltimore - Baltimore got embarrassed by the Giants...and McNabb doesn't even know that OT is sudden death. He won't know much of anything after this game as Baltimore is going to take it ALL out on them. Low scoring game...but Baltimore sends a message and pounds Phili.

    If games go as expected, the Browns will be 5-6 and tied with Jax and Buffalo...but have the tiebreaker on both. They will trail NE by only 1 game...with Miami, NY Jets, and Indy only 2 game up. It is still a long shot...but they would still be alive theoretically.

    Thanks for all the info- but do we really need to punish ourselves with playoff talk?

    j/k but football gods don't let 4-6 teams into the playoffs.

    So nice to be a Steelers fan here and see your team in control of it's own destiny to get into the playoffs, and not have to deal with 5 billion different scenarios of how the Browns can still get a wildcard spot every single week. When you start having to worry about 5-6 other teams having to lose to get into the playoffs you're in trouble...

  • As Flugs would say "God bless ya Holmes."

    I rarely read your posts, but for the most part you're not a total pud so I leave you alone. I just find it funny you have to come here all the time and make long posts defending your Steelers to us.

    You got the upper hand, you won for now so I hope you're really, really proud.

    Good on ya guy.

    Is a pig's ass pork?

    Well here is one scenario for ya the Browns will be officially eliminated from winning the division on Sunday I believe with either a loss to Indy in Cleveland or a Steelers win in New England. A Browns loss to Indy would give them 8 losses and since the Steelers already have 8 wins and can finish no worse then 8-8 and 4-2 in the AFC North and the Browns can finish no better then 8-8 and 3-3 in the AFC North that right there is my math is correct would eliminate them officially from the division title race even before the month of December. The same can be said if the Steelers do win and get to 9 wins on Sunday as well the worst they could then do is 9-7,and the Browns could even win out and they still would not get the tiebraker over the Steelers because of the division record tiebraker.

    Guess you insisting to me back in late September early October that the Browns would stay tooth and nail with the Steelers the rest of the season, and the Steelers were going to fall apart after the Philly loss or the Giants loss, and the Browns would be 1 game behind the Steelers going into the last game of the season went to complete shit and them some...Nice try though buddy maybe next year you will do a better job of making predicitions because the ones you made this year weren't even close.
