Re: 2013 NFL Season. Tebow on the Brady Bunch(en)? Goodell will to all men!

One day I want to see a team make it into the playoffs because of that last tie-breaker....coin flip.
 
Re: 2013 NFL Season. Tebow on the Brady Bunch(en)? Goodell will to all men!

I'm not going to complain if they get in, but I'm curious what the tie breakers are that would put the Steelers in over all the other 8-8 teams. Does anyone know that? I looked around but didn't see it anywhere. They lost to Miami, and are 1-1 against Baltimore. I'm only guessing here but from what I can tell, Pittsburgh gets in over Baltimore because Steelers would be 4-2 while Baltimore at 3-3. They win over San Diego because of record vs common opponents, or conference record. Either way. The one I can't figure out is how they beat Miami. Miami beat Pittsburgh and they have a better record in conference.

Edit: Figured it out. Jets would jump Miami based on division record. And Pittsburgh beat the Jets. Crazy.

Good summary here too: AFC playoff summary

That was hilarious. Same guy that let the onside kick get by him.

I swear when I looked at your link the first time all it said was "Pittsburgh is in with the win and everyone else losing" and no explaining of what the tie breakers were that got them there. The stress of this time of year (holidays, combined with getting ready to move from Indiana to Idaho for a new job) might be making me lose it.

Miami Dolphins (8-7) would clinch with:
• A win plus either a loss by Baltimore or win by San Diego.
• A tie plus losses by Baltimore and San Diego.

Not one of the quartet in the hunt fully controls its own destiny — a bizarre twist added by the NFL’s tiebreaker scenarios. Miami currently holds the edge on Baltimore because San Diego, a winner Sunday, created a three-team tie at 8-7. In that scenario, the Ravens’ win over Miami is canceled out by Miami’s win over San Diego, pushing the conference-record tiebreaker to the forefront. The Dolphins hold that edge on both the Ravens and Chargers.


Baltimore Ravens (8-7) would clinch with:
• A win plus a loss by either Miami or San Diego.
• A loss plus losses by Miami, San Diego and Pittsburgh.

That aforementioned three-team tiebreaker? Baltimore needs to break it in Week 17 to pull back into the No. 6 seed. The Ravens have to do that by winning, first of all, and then getting the Dolphins or Chargers to trip up. Head-to-head, Baltimore would hold the tiebreaker edge on either of those teams. In a three-team jumble where all three teams have the same record, the Ravens would miss out.

San Diego Chargers (8-7) would clinch with:
• A win or tie plus losses by Miami and Baltimore.

The Chargers are third in the pecking order. They would lose the head-to-head tiebreaker with Miami, the conference-record tiebreaker with Baltimore and would be No. 3 in the three-team tiebreaker. So, the Chargers’ only hope is to get to 9-7 and hope for help.

Pittsburgh Steelers (7-8) would clinch with:
• A win plus losses by Baltimore, Miami (vs. NY Jets) and San Diego.

Ummmm... Couldn't they just give whatever team the last team in would play a bye because nobody there really has a outstanding case to make the playoffs?? Shuts off the *****ing from the other teams there who could have gotten in.

That's how my mom would have done it: if you can't figure out how to share, then NONE of you get it!

So the Cowboys have signed Jon Kitna.



Stupid. They have a below average backup quarterback right on their sideline.

At least Kitna's donating his game check to the school he teaches/coaches at.

I just wish they would've gone for the last guy to prove he was better than Orton....that circus would have been so wonderful.

Way better than Orton.

Where's that guy playing? ;)
