    I guess that means people think there is a 59% chance that Rex Ryan beats the Jets?

    Why would people think that? It's not like it's toe-jam football or anything. When has Ryan ever had his team come together for a win when they needed one in the past 10 years? Whoever says that, IMO, got to be a joker.

    Well, here's hoping: Bungalow Bills 35; Generation J-E-T-S 19.

    blue/underlined like a link).

    Yeah, this doesn't make a lot of sense to me either. That and I don't care much for probability. We were like a 90% lock to make the playoffs just last week. Probability is for the birds.

    Actually, you have to correct week 16 to include the Broncos victory...then, if you select a Steelers win, it calculates playoffs in only 52% of scenarios. Basically a coin flip, which is about the chance I would give the Bills vs. the Jets...
    Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.

    Jets are taking care of business while the steelers decided to take an early end to the season

    They obviously didn't factor in the Steelers' record vs. crappy teams.

    I think Buffalo's golf bags are packed and they could care or less about this coming game.
    This will take a miracle for us to make the playoff's..........

    Forget about Buffalo...I'm not sure the Steelers beat the Stains. They're apt to give them the ball 2 or 3 times on turnovers, and make Johnny Football look like a Pro Bowler.

    Don't forget that part of the 59% probability of the Steelers getting into the playoffs is the Steelers beating the Browns. It's not solely based on the Bills beating the Jets.

    Not so sure about that, but to be honest, not much difference.

    I really hate depending on the Bills.
