Here's some good info on playoff scenarios:http://www.nfl.com/standings/conferencehttp://www.nfl.com/standings/tiebreakersWith the win, the Titans remain in the playoff hunt. We make the playoffs if:Titans win out and all but one of the following:1. Cincy loses all three (@Indy, @Denver, Pittsburgh) (Cincy has better AFC record)2. The Jets lose out (@Miami, Oakland) 3. Denver loses last two (Cincy, 49ers) OR loses one and KC loses only one of last three (@San Diego, @Oakland, Jacksonville)4. Jags lose one more (New England, @KC) 5. KC loses one more (@San Diego, @Oakland, Jacksonville)6. Pittsburgh loses one more (Baltimore, @Cincy)If all of them happen, we will be the #5 seed, all but one & we're the 6th seed. It's possible, certainly not probable, but a magical season compared to what was expected.
Denver's winning out.Write it down.Cutler is gonna keep improving.Too bad he's not getting any press.

Im as big a Cutler fan as any, but it's probably too much to ask him to win a shootout with Carson Palmer at this point.

New York Jets make the playoffs if (This is assuming they win out):1. Bengals lose to the Colts, Broncos, or Steelers2. Jags lose to Patriots or Chiefs3. Broncos lose to Bengals or 49ersVery very very probably that we get in
49ers have to win out. They play Arizona and Denver. Then, we need the NY Giants to go 8-8 or worse, and we need the Falcons to finish 7-9.Unfortunately, I dont think the 9ers can do it. Yeah, they'll beat Arizona at home hopefully, but win in Denver, eh...and no, Cutler wouldnt be the reason they wouldnt win, so dont come here and tell me that Cutler will dominate the 9ers and thats why they wont make the playoffs, because of Jay Cutler...him and Mcnabb may be the most overrated QB's in the NFL

I copied it from a guy on the Titans board. If I'm not mistaken, now that KC has lost, they can basically be eliminated from the equation.

If New England loses twice (at Jacksonville, at Tennessee), the Jets would be the AFC East Division ChampionsOR2. If Jacksonville loses once (New England, at Kansas City), the Jets would win a Wildcard SpotOR3. If Cincinnati wins at Denver and then loses to Pittsburgh, the Jets would win a Wildcard SpotOR4. If Denver beats Cincinnati and then loses to San Francisco, the Jets would win a Wildcard Spot.(...If either scenario 2 and 3, or 2 and 4 occur, the Jets would be the 5th Seed in the AFC)If the Jets lose a game, while it's not mathematically impossible, it's highly improbable because they have lost too many tiebreakers throughout the season.

He might be a good quarterback someday, but nobody is revolutionizing anything until those numbers improve. </div>I'm not sure who you are talking about here, but Im going to go ahead and take a guess its Alex Smith. You realize that Smith is not overrated at all right? He is one of the most criticized QB's in the league, because everyone doubts that he is #1 overall pick material. Jay Cutler is overrated in the sense that he is getting credit for the Broncos recent success. Sorry, last time I checked, a team wins games, and the fact of the matter is, Jake Plummer was not the reason the Broncos were sliding. Was he helping? No, not at all. But he was not the reason the Broncos were playing poorly. The whole team was playing bad, and now with a new face in there, they have all started playing better, sorry, Jat Cutler should not be getting this credit. I still think Cutler as the #12 pick was the most overrated pick in the draft(or whatever number he was). He may be good, but, I donno, I don't think he will pan out...P.S. Smith averages 6.54 YPA, not the 5.94 that you said, also, his completion % is not 51.8, its 58.3...p.s. again, its a 15-14 TD-INT ratio...maybe you werent talking about smith...lol

I've been a Cutler supporter for a long time, and am on record that he will end up being the best Quarterback in this draft. But just like most young Quarterbacks he is a work in progress still and I haven't seen anybody crediting him for the Broncos success, especially considering the fact that they just won their first game under Jay Cutler this past week. Seems to me you're more annoyed over his draft slot then anything else, but considering Donte Whitner went in the Top 10 and John McCargo went in the First Round from Buffalo, he was far from the biggest reach, and to be honest I think 11th for Cutler was about right. And by the way, in the 3 games before Jake Plummer got benched he threw 5 Interceptions and Fumbled the ball 4 Times and only in one of those games he had a QB Rating above 75. He was more responsible for them sliding then you are implying.PS: And I was referring to Vince Young.
Oh, well, I agree with you there, Vince Young is the most overrated QB out of the draft, I'll give you that. I donno what you listen to, but I have heard people on like ESPN and places saying that Cutler should get credit for the Broncos recent success(i know they havent won all the games, but they've been playing better) and just all the fans think that Cutler has "revolutionized" the Broncos, when, it's really not Cutler at all. That's the point I'm trying to make.
