    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.

    (Sorry for separate post, I couldn't edit the first one, everything came out
    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.

                      Our best chance is if Fitzpatrick goes down with injury, and IK Enempali's buddy comes in to the game.
                      I wasn't hired for my disposition.

                        Rex Ryan has lots of experience game planning against Ryan Fitzpatrick...he did it as DC of the Ravens when Fitzpatrick played for the Bungals. He did it twice a year when Fitzpatrick was the starter for Buffalo and he was HC of the Jets. Now, he's HC of the Bills and Fitzpatrick is with the Jets. The Bills beat the Jets earlier this year in NY...

                          There would be a certain degree of poetic justice if I.K. were the one to injure Fitz, thereby allowing Geno to play again.
                          Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

                          Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

                          We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

                          We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

                            How many yards passing does Austin Davis get this week?

                              Well, Manziel won't have to worry about getting hit hard by the Steeler defense , so I say he plays even if he's in concussion protocol.
                              Austin Davis for 300 this week, geesh
