Race for #1 AFC Seed

[Norg]

Let me revise this mug not this is me being a Football IQ guy and going to what it just seems like on paper

12 @ Jacksonville (3-6)- W Jags got a rookie QB 2 so its a tossup IMO
13 vs Atlanta (5-4)-L Cant score enough points to win simple has that
14 @ Cincinnati (6-3)-W they got a rookie QB to so its a toss up IMO
15 vs Carolina (2-7)-At home pretty much a blowout game IMO
16 @ Indianapolis (0-10)-PLaying for the #1 seed and bye week we best win this game obvs going to be a much tougher game now that Matty is gone infact all these games will be much tougher
17 vs Tennessee (5-4) -but this point we are just spent tired and rdy for the Post season and let a close game slip by this point this game will mean nothing win or lose

[honored82]

Great!!! but I think we might be comfortable beating 5-4 Atlanta at Reliant rather than 6-3 Cincy Away

Jets lost to the Boncos(yes I spelled it right)

The Texans were not asking Schaub to be spectacular, and it's not like
he was Brett Favre with the game on the line. Remember, SAGE ROSENFELS
almost took the starting job from him. Matt Leinart is much better than
Sage, and the team doesn't NEED him to be spectacular either.

You have an elite running game (TWO ProBowl-caliber RB's.)

You have an elite offensive line (there, I finally said it.)

You have an elite defense.

You have an elite wide receiver.

Just don't turn the **** over, and you'll clock a "W."

Peace

The bolded part is a bit revisionist history.

A bit of hyperbole can go a long way to punctuate an idea.

Peace.

We got a shot. Let's do this!!!!

When us negatory posters are making positive posts after losing our starting QB, it goes without saying that the world has somehow fundementally changed. LOL

This is the way I'm thinking too. Who on their remaining schedule has a halfway decent defense against N.E.'s pass-happy offense..? Stat-wise, I listed each opponent's ranking for Passing yds/game and Pts. allowed/game.

NE O (6-3) D (3-1) C (5-2)
11 vs Kansas City (4-5) -- 16th / 23rd
12 @ Philadelphia (3-6) -- 11th / 19th
13 vs Indianapolis (0-10) -- 21st / 32nd
14 @ Washington (3-6) -- 9th / 8th (why aren't they winning more? They're only putting up 15.1 pts/game; that's why)
15 @ Denver (4-5) -- 19th / 25th
16 vs Miami (2-7) -- 25th / 8th (they don't allow many pts/game why aren't they winning more. They can only put up 17.6 pts game. Brady & Co. may have that many by halftime.
17 vs Buffalo (5-4) -- 27th / 23rd

I know stats aren't the whole story but from that standpoint, we'd have to win out to take the #1 seed from N.E. because I don't see anyone they should lose to.

You left out our prolific TE corps.

This team is just too stacked. They are already making Kubiak look
like a good coach. Why can't they make Leinart look good also?

[NitroGSXR]

We may be the #1 seed right now but we are not in control of our destiny. We're only #1 because we haven't had our BYE week yet. Whoever wins the Baltimore/Cincinnati game will take the #1 seed on Sunday. Until we are in control, I can't bank on all Leinart needing to do is "manage" the game.

Well if Cincy beats Baltimore we control our own destiny.

The same thing can be said of Cincinnati. THEY control their destiny until they slip up.

[DX-TEX]

Leinart will shine so much rest of season that in the offseason we trade him to the redskins for a #1 pick and Brian Orakpo.

Exactly. We play eachother, so the winner continues to control their own destiny at that point.
