You're starting to make me believe. Super Bowl... here we come?

Possible. Just need to make the tourney.

With Rex as our HC, we know we can win on the road in the playoffs. And why cant we get lucky like the Gints did last year and all our opponents having their worst game against us...

I smell Lombardi.

When the weight of the world has got you down And you want to end your life,Bills to pay, a dead-end job,And problems with the wife.But don't throw in the tow'l,'Cuz there's a place right down the block...Where you can drink your misery away...At Flaming Moe's.... (Let's all go to Flaming Moe's...)When liquor in a mug (Let's all go to Flaming Moe's...)Can warm you like a hug. (Flaming Moe's...)And happiness is just a Flaming Moe away...

Pretty much just root against the Steelers, Bengals, & Colts. This week they're playing the Cowboys, Eagles, & Texans.

Lombardi smells like rotting flesh. He's been dead a long time.

Satan worshippers win multiple super bowls. QB's who sell their soul curse the franchise forever.

After beating one of the worst teams in football, the Jets are right back into the thick of the playoff race. Thanks to losses by the Steelers and Bengals which puts the Jets one game back of the 6th seed in the AFC at 6-7. Now what I’m going to do is try to show the various ways the Jets can enter the playoffs and how they can win or lose any tiebreaker while doing so.First, I am going show the current standings and the final opponents that each team has left that is in front of the Jets. I’ll include the teams behind them later as none of them can get to 9-7 which is the most likely record that the Jets can get in by.Current standings and tiebreakers as of 12/11<table width="600" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3"><tbody><tr><td bgcolor="#e8e8e8" width="74"><a href="http://espn.go.com/n...der/true">CONF RK</a></td><td bgcolor="#e8e8e8" width="135">AFC</td><td bgcolor="#e8e8e8" width="28"><a href="http://espn.go.com/n...der/true">W</a></td><td bgcolor="#e8e8e8" width="18"><a href="http://espn.go.com/n...der/true">L</a></td><td bgcolor="#e8e8e8" width="18"><a href="http://espn.go.com/n...der/true">T</a></td><td bgcolor="#e8e8e8" width="46"><a href="http://espn.go.com/n...der/true">PCT</a></td><td bgcolor="#e8e8e8" width="50"><a href="http://espn.go.com/n...der/true">DIV</a></td><td bgcolor="#e8e8e8" width="60"><a href="http://espn.go.com/n...der/true">CONF</a></td><td bgcolor="#e8e8e8" width="47"><a href="http://espn.go.com/n...der/true">SOS</a></td><td bgcolor="#e8e8e8" width="47"><a href="http://espn.go.com/n...der/true">SOV</a></td><td bgcolor="#e8e8e8" width="241">REASON</td></tr><tr bgcolor="#ffffff"><td bgcolor="#ffffff" width="74">5</td><td width="135">Indianapolis</td><td width="28">9</td><td width="18">4</td><td width="18">0</td><td width="46">.692</td><td width="50">3-1-0</td><td width="60">6-3-0</td><td width="47">.420</td><td width="47">.385</td><td width="241"></td></tr><tr><td bgcolor="#f1f1f1" width="74">6</td><td bgcolor="#f1f1f1" width="135">Pittsburgh</td><td bgcolor="#f1f1f1" width="28">7</td><td bgcolor="#f1f1f1" width="18">6</td><td bgcolor="#f1f1f1" width="18">0</td><td bgcolor="#f1f1f1" width="46">.538</td><td bgcolor="#f1f1f1" width="50">2-2-0</td><td bgcolor="#f1f1f1" width="60">4-6-0</td><td bgcolor="#f1f1f1" width="47">.467</td><td bgcolor="#f1f1f1" width="47">.473</td><td bgcolor="#f1f1f1" width="241">Wins tie break over Cincinnati based on head-to-head win percentage.</td></tr><tr bgcolor="#ffffff"><td width="74">7</td><td width="135">Cincinnati</td><td width="28">7</td><td width="18">6</td><td width="18">0</td><td width="46">.538</td><td width="50">1-3-0</td><td width="60">5-5-0</td><td width="47">.444</td><td width="47">.352</td><td width="241"></td></tr></tbody><tbody><tr><td bgcolor="#ece1b0" width="74">8</td><td bgcolor="#ece1b0" width="135">NY Jets</td><td bgcolor="#ece1b0" width="28">6</td><td bgcolor="#ece1b0" width="18">7</td><td bgcolor="#ece1b0" width="18">0</td><td bgcolor="#ece1b0" width="46">.462</td><td bgcolor="#ece1b0" width="50">2-3-0</td><td bgcolor="#ece1b0" width="60">4-5-0</td><td bgcolor="#ece1b0" width="47">.544</td><td bgcolor="#ece1b0" width="47">.404</td><td bgcolor="#ece1b0" width="241"></td></tr></tbody></table> IndianapolisRemaining schedule – @ Houston, @ Kansas City, vs. HoustonTiebreaker vs. only Jets – Lose due to H2H in week 6Controls own destiny vs. Jets – 1 win knocks Jets out from catching Indy PittsburghRemaining schedule – @ Dallas, vs. Cincinnati, vs. ClevelandTiebreaker vs. only Jets – Win due to H2H in week 2Controls own destiny vs. Jets – 3 wins or 2 wins with 1 being vs. Cincinnati to knock Jets out CincinnatiRemaining schedule – @ Philadelphia, @ Pittsburgh, vs. BaltimoreTiebreaker vs. only Jets – Win due to conference record (5-5 vs 4-5)Controls own destiny vs. Jets – 3 wins or only lose to Philadelphia to knock Jets out JetsRemaining schedule – @ Tennessee, vs. San Diego, @ Buffalo Now for the scenarios that will get the Jets in the playoffs (not 100% but close enough) it would be way too long to put who can be the 5th /6th seed in each scenario for now so I’m going to skip that part. There is no tiebreaker for all 3 teams as in-division tiebreaker is settled first before moving on to outside division tiebreakers. #1. Jets clinch 5th seedJets win all 3 gamesColts lose all 3 gamesCincinnati cannot beat BaltimoreSteelers lose at least 1 game TiebreakersJets beat Colts alone H2HJets beat Steelers & Colts with conference record(7-5, 6-6, 6-6)Jets beat Bengals & Colts with conference record(7-5, 6-6, 6-6) #2. Jets finish 6th at 9-7Jets win all 3 gamesColts win a game(worst finish would be 10-6)Bengals do not beat Baltimore(would give them SOV win over Jets)Steelers lose to Bengals(would beat Cincinnati in H2H at 2-0) TiebreakersJets beat Bengals with conference record (7-5 vs. 6-6) #3 Jets finish 6th at 8-8Jets beat Bills & Chargers to prevent loses in tiebreakers to Bills, Chargers, and Bengals.Steelers only beats the Cowboys to prevent division win percentage win over CincinnatiCincinnati only beats the Steelers to prevent Steelers from winning H2H tiebreakerBrowns lose a game to prevent conference record win over Jets and division record win over Bengals and H2H win over Steelers TiebreakersJets beat Dolphins in common games (6-6 vs. 5-7)Jets beat Bengals in strength of victory As we are done here one of the only non-decided tiebreakers is the one between the Jets and Bengals with strength of victory in the event of an 8-8 record as each team would be 6-6 in conference and tied at 4-2 in common games (Jacksonville, Miami, Pittsburgh, & San Diego) so in order to decide that every game between teams the Jets beat and the Bengals beat becomes that much more important. Since they would have some common victories(Jacksonville & San Diego), I’ll leave them out since it would be useless to include them since it won’t affect anything. I have also adjusted some of the team’s records to reflect the scenario as a couple of the teams cannot be at certain records otherwise the tiebreaker is meaningless. <table width="600" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"><tbody><tr valign="TOP"><td width="300">Jets wins</td><td width="300">Bengals wins</td></tr><tr valign="TOP"><td width="300">Buffalo (5-9) x 2 plays Dolphins</td><td width="300">Browns(5-8)(cannot finish 8-8) plays Redskins</td></tr><tr valign="TOP"><td width="300">Dolphins (5-8) plays Bills</td><td width="300">Redskins(7-6) plays Browns</td></tr><tr valign="TOP"><td width="300">Colts (9-4) plays Chiefs</td><td width="300">Giants(8-5)</td></tr><tr valign="TOP"><td width="300">Rams (6-6-1)</td><td width="300">Chiefs(2-11) plays Oakland, Indy</td></tr><tr valign="TOP"><td width="300">Cardnials (4-9)</td><td width="300">Raiders(3-10) plays KC</td></tr><tr valign="TOP"><td width="300"></td><td width="300">Steelers(7-8)(cannot finish 9-7)</td></tr><tr valign="TOP"><td width="300">Total – (34-45-1)</td><td width="300">Total – (32-48)</td></tr><tr valign="TOP"><td width="300">Best possible finish – (49-46-1)</td><td width="300">Best possible finish – (44-48-4) or (46-50-0)</td></tr></tbody></table> Just to let people know the Jets can finish as high as 3rd in the draft order. There is only one scenario in which this can happen and it involves a bunch of teams going 7-9 and 6-9-1 with at least four whole divisions finishing with 6-9-1 or better records. So I doubt it will happen. The Jets currently sit in the 12th spot with a chance to move up or down as the season winds down.<div style="float:left; text-align:left;><img alt='' src='http://1.gravatar.co...b?s=100&d=&r=PG' class='avatar avatar-100 photo' height='100' width='100' /></div><h3><a href='http://www.jetnation...hor/chris-menn/' title='Chris Menn'>Chris Menn</a></h3>I'm a 27 year old Jets fan from Massachusetts who has been following the Jets since 1990.

if the Jets win on MNF it will be a 3 game streak. If they win out, it's a 5 game streak. Teams that go on 5 game streaks to get in the playoffs are usually dangerous. that is all.

My posts have to get worse, so they can get better.

If? If? We're supposed to be positive around here now! Its WHEN the Jets win on MNF it will be a 3 game streak. WHEN they win out its a 5 game streak.
