*** Important Division Tiebreak Scenarios *** Proceed With Caution ***

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

... gang, with how this team has performed over the past 5 games they are giving us more and more reason to believe it will never become an issue ...

... but ...

... as we are nearing the home stretch of the year let's not get overconfident, if we do slip here is where our area of concern lies ...

... NE is very much alive & Miami is still a legit threat as well ...

... because ...

The 1st 3 Division Tiebreak Procedures are as Follow

1. Head-to-Head

2. Division Record

3. Common Games

... many people forget the common games & go directly to 4. Conference Record ...

... we have 2 division games left - home against both Buffalo & Miami ... it is very important that if we slip it not be one of these 2 games (particularly the Miami game) because if we lose to Miami our head to head advantage against them is now removed ... if we drop either of these 2 games our division tiebreak lead is erased ... which brings us to our danger zone - the Common Games 3rd tiebreaker ...

... as of now the Common Games Tiebreak outside of our division falls out as follows ...

NE.... - 4-1

Miami - 4-1

NYJ.. - 2-2

... so ...

... these are two very legit possibilities that could happen (and there are many lesser ones when broken down further) ...

... 1. if we drop one division game & NE wins out they beat us on the 3rd tiebreaker ...

... 2. if we drop both our division games & Miami wins out they beat us on the 3rd tiebreaker ...

... this is just an FYI to everyone who may not be aware of the realistic tiebreaker concerns ...

... this point is a great reinforcer of the importance of taking care of business within your division ...

... i'm sure Mangini as a disciple of the Parcells coaching tree with have his team well aware of this & prepared to FINISH our divisional games ...

... Favre "The Old Warrior" has placed this franchise on his shoulders and is marching us up the mountain towards Vince Lombardi glory ...

... the next two steps up that mountain will be Denver home & SF away ...

... but the most important remaining steps bfore we reach the postseason will be Buffalo and Miami in the meadowlands ...

in easier understanding heres mine.

to win division:

if pats win out, we have to win last 3 home games, and split last 2 road games.

if pats lose 1 game, we have to win last 3 home games, and it wont matter what happens in last 2 road games(so we can lose both of them and still win division)

to get 2nd seed and bye:

if steelers lose 2 games jets just have to win last 3 home games, and split away games to win a bye.

if steelers lose one game, jets have to win out.

if steelers win out, we cannot win bye.

Tie breakers don't matter if the Pats lose against the Steelers this weekend. Both the Pats and Fins will have 5 loses.

Just to tie, that means the Jets will have to lose 2 of their last 5.

The Jets could have the division and 2nd seed locked up by the evening of week 16 if: Jets are 12-3, Steelers lose 2 games and the Pats lose a game.
