Playoff Hopes

Big Texas · #1 11-27-2009, 11:40 AM

This is merely in the interest of maintaining optimism.

Leaders:
Projected Records:
Cincy: 13-3
NE: 12-4 Assuming loss to NO
Indy: Anwhere from 15-1(loss to Denver or sit starters for last game w/BUF)
Denver: 11-5 (Very easy schedule down the stretch)

Wildcard Scenarios:
SD: Tenn/Wash games are critical. These games could mean our playoff hopes. (worst case scenario: they lose 3 of their last 4: 9-7)
Pitt: very tough schedule down the stretch minus Oak/Clev. Assuming a split with Baltimore: 10-6
Balt: Assuming split with Pitt and loss to GB: 9-7
Jacks: Assuming they only beat SF/Clev. 8-8 (This means we MUST beat them)
Mia: Assuming we beat them: 7-9 or 8-8 or 9-7 if they beat TENN.

TEXANS: We definitely must go 5-1 down the stretch, to result in 10-6. This means that we could definitely afford to lose to Indy. However we would HAVE to beat Jacks and hope NE sits their starters. However with the close records for division leaders they may be fighting for Homefield Advantage with Cincy. In this case we would definitely need to win the next 5 games. (highly unlikely, but possible)

I am not sure how the tie breakers would work if we went 9-7. I think there are gonna be quite a few 9-7 teams.

I think it would be interesting if we all decided to write out how we thought the AFC would shape up at the end of the season.

"Hopes" is a good word to choose in describing our chances for post-season action this year.

Glimmer.

Hope that NE is resting their starters, although I feel like we won't even get to that point.

We're going to lose to Jacksoffville, that's just how those bastards (they, not us) work.

I concur. Mr. McNair should fly to North Carolina tomorrow and have a chat with Bill Cowher about what he wants for his future.

Fire Kubiak before the season is over so we can start the search early, let every player know he is auditioning for his job, and let's move on.

We need a HC like Cowher or Mike Holmgren. But you must start early on the search. Waiting until mid January will hurt the search and add other teams to the mix.

So I have come to understand that our offense is only capable of playing more than one half of football.

Here are some interesting numbers:

Shaub
September 7TD 2Int
October 9TD 3Int
November 3TD 4Int. WOW!!!

Between his own 21-50 he has thrown 4Int. Leads to points after turnover
When the margin is 15+ he has 1TD 4Int and a 60 QB rating.

What do these numbers say?
