I'm pretty sure I have the standings right, as of right now. Corrections are welcome, I may have missed something.

Team	Record	Conf. Rec
Colts	6-4	5-2
Ravens	6-4	6-3
Dolphins^	6-4	5-3
Patriots^	6-4	4-4
Bills	5-5	3-4
Chargers	4-6	4-4
Jags	4-6	3-6

^=Dolphins have head to head and division record tiebreaker over Pats

Colts have head to head over Ravens and Pats

That's correct

We are still where we would have been even if the Steelers had lost yesterday evening, which I was praying for but the Chargers defense souldn’t stop Roethlisberger’s little short and slant passes all night. However, a Wild Card slot for us the way we play the tough teams on the road is a one-and-out proposition for us. I want a division title and first round bye, followed by at least one home playoff game. We can do that if we beat the Eagles and Steelers and do what we should with the other games. If we finish 5-1 (lose to Cowboys, beat everyone else), which is plausible, that should be enough to win the AFC North.

Yes, that seems correct

Though, as far as I know, Indy loses it’s HTH advantage in a 3-way tie with Baltimore and Miami, as then Miami and Indy haven’t faced eachother and it goes to Conference record. Then Indy advances. Upon Indy advancing it’s a two-way tie, and Baltimore advances on the head-to-head tiebreaker against Miami.

You might want to take note of that Baltimore HTH with Miami, it could easily end up mattering.

Scary

That both the Ravens and the Dolphins could make the playoffs this year, and both New England and Indy might not!

Not to mention the Jets making the playoffs too.

Weird year, although it’s game over if Jared Gaither misses time. We are too banged up among the offensive line.

don’t count on it…New England looks good /Castle is very good and FAST and Manning is Manning and winning again. Miami has changed their game plan since us and realize they need to stretch the field more..they are looking good too. We didn’t grown Sunday in any way besides a day older..handcuffs back on Flacco/ play calling didn’t help.

go giants

i do have to say, so what happened to the baltimore run d, thought u guys were supposed to stop us, 200 plus yards once again, just spread the word that we own the nfl, ur just lucky we run three running backs, we could have had two over 100 yds each, i do love u guys i just had to come in and chat to ya once more, i did love all the comments on big blue, and u guys are some of the classier fans ive come across, all in good fun, take care

Thanks for the buttkicking

It’ll will motivate us to improve. We now know the difference between us. As far as the classy comments, go tell the Cleveland fans that, they’ll get a laugh from that, as they think we’re dolts! Talk about classless.

leave now

shit happens, things go one teams way, half of those big runs were because of bad arm tackles by our defense.

No excuse

We didn’t come close to getting it done. Give Coughlin credit for not running on us at the end to get Bradshaw his 100.

I wish he had

then we could just start a new streak. This one is kind of tainted.

bag to differ

another fan of a winning team is always welcome to rub it in…we’re used to it. he’s 100% right about running 3 backs..they had the 100 easy. not only did they kick our ass we didn’t even take any life out of the tem for the Pitt. game. i thought they were going to put a celebrity in for some plays. ray lewis looked like stepped on land mines everytime he approached the line of scrimmage..there still finding pieces of him in the end zone…Macco was contracted to pull our RB’s face masks back out.
