I'm completely disgusted by what the Colts did today. I'm sure Manning is pretty disgusted, too. If they were going to play Manning at all they should have at least racked up some points and then played Painter and the other slugs all they wanted and let the chips fall were they may.

Since we've been in the AFC South with the Colts I never really had the passionate hate for them like I do the Jags and Titans. That all changed today. From here on I want nothing more than for them to get destroyed in any game they play.

Not sure if I feel EXACTLY the same way, but I feel the same way.

The good news is that the Jets close the season with the Bengals and if the Bengals take next week's game more seriously the Colts did this week, the Jets aren't home free yet.

Akers FG w/:04 left... Phi 30, Den 27.

Looks like the miracle plan worked until the Colts gave up.

So here it is...assuming the Texans beat NE....

Jets have to lose to Cincy, coupled with a Ravens OR Broncos loss.

OR

Jets beat Cincy, and the Ravens AND Broncos have to lose.

We owe the Colts so, so many paybacks. This is just one more...

Can't say I will be rooting for them during the playoffs....

AFC Conference Records of wild card candidates (w wk16 opp)

NYJ 6-5 vs CIN
BAL 6-5 at Oak
DEN 6-5 vs KC
HOU 5-6 vs NE
PIT 5-6 at Mia

While the 7-8 teams still have a mathematical chance, they'd need four of the above teams to lose next week in order to get in.

You just KNOW that Bengals/Jets game is going to be one of those ugly 15-12 games.

Do the Bengals have anything to play for next week? That is a HUGE question in my mind.

Yeah, I am ticked too. I mean does Caldwell have any respect for the integrity of the game. I know, if we had taken care of business earlier we would not be score board watching, but really they simply handed the game to the Jets and their perfect season right along with it. So, Indy will be sitting on their hands for basically three weeks. I was rooting for Dungy and Indy to win the Super Bowl in the past (until our time comes assuming it does) but no more. I hope they bow out quickly for this stunt today. And I will say this, any coach should remember this incident in the future if they should ever hold Indy's fate in their hands.

I hope the Texans make it as the #6 seed and win in the wild card round only so they can do medieval things to the Colts in the divisional round. That is my dream.

PFT is reporting that the Bengals vs Jets game has been flexed to Sunday night......At least we will know if it really means something.

I just hope Cincy plays their starters.

Cincy and NE are tied. I would imagine they would continue to play for homefield advantage should they meet one another in the AFC championship game. This is what I would think.

Bad news for us. This would mean that NE would be breaking out the big dawgs next Sunday.

Bring 'em on. Don't want anyone saying that NE gave it to us. If the Texans can't beat NE at home, then they don't deserve the playoffs....

TO BREAK A TIE FOR THE WILD-CARD TEAM

If it is necessary to break ties to determine the two Wild-Card clubs from each conference, the following steps will be taken.

1. If the tied clubs are from the same division, apply division tie breaker.
2. If the tied clubs are from different divisions, apply the following steps.

Three or More Clubs

(Note: If two clubs remain tied after third or other clubs are eliminated, tie breaker reverts to step 1 of applicable two-club format.)

1. Apply division tie breaker to eliminate all but the highest ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to step 2. The original seeding within a division upon application of the division tie breaker remains the same for all subsequent applications of the procedure that are necessary to identify the two Wild-Card participants.
2. Head-to-head sweep. (Applicable only if one club has defeated each of the others or if one club has lost to each of the others.)
3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.
5. Strength of victory.
6. Strength of schedule.
7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
9. Best net points in conference games.
10. Best net points in all games.
11. Best net touchdowns in all games.
12. Coin toss

When the first Wild-Card team has been identified, the procedure is repeated to name the second Wild-Card, i.e., eliminate all but the highest-ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to step 2. In situations where three or more teams from the same division are involved in the procedure, the original seeding of the teams remains the same for subsequent applications of the tie breaker if the top-ranked team in that division qualifies for a Wild-Card berth.

This is just in case there is someone out there trying to figure out what we are talking about.
