it's sad because with all the help we got this week, a W vs. Oakland would have pretty much guaranteed the playoffs..
using Yahoo's playoff generator, here are some possible scenarios..assuming we lose to the Eagles in week 16, which is likely, and assuming we beat the Chiefs, which could go either way..let's just assume we beat them, because I'm hoping they actually play with some balls..
the teams that would be most likely to knock us off would be Pittsburgh, because they have the tie-breaker..Jacksonville also has a realistic chance..
for the Jets to knock the Broncos off, they would have to beat BOTH the Colts and Bengals in the next 2 weeks..obviously anything is possible, but this is an unrealistic outcome IMO..
for Pittsburgh to knock the Broncos off, they would have to beat both Baltimore and Miami in the next 2 weeks..this is a very realistic outcome, especially if Polamalu returns..their W today really hurt us..
Jacksonville could knock the Broncos off if they beat New England and Cleveland in the next 2 weeks..it's possible..
Miami can make the playoffs in a number of ways, but I haven't seen a realistic scenario where they can make it by knocking the Broncos off..at least I can't see it through the Yahoo generator..every time I've seen them in the playoffs using this generator, it's been with the Broncos as the 5th seed..
it looks like Baltimore and Miami will be battling for the playoffs against each other..it looks like we'll be battling with Pittsburgh..
