Week 14 thoughts…

The AFC Playoff Race.

With every team aside from the colts seemingly at 7-6, should make for a great stretch run! With Cincy losing you have to feel pretty solid with the 10-3 Chargers in the 2 seed. The Bengals with a 2 game lead and 3 to play are probably pretty safe as the 3 seed and the AFC North winner. The AFC East now, that is gonna be fun. The Fins and Jets at 7-6 are not only in the wild card hunt but they are very much still in the Division hunt only 1 game behind the Pats who are a shell of teams past. Here is what remains for these teams

Pats @ Buffalo, sounds easy , but it took a flurry of a finish to comeback and beat Buffalo early in the year in New England, Jacksonville at home, a team with plenty to play for and clinging to the last wild card spot and finally @ Houston a team that will play well because they always do once they are mathematically eliminated from playoff contention.

Fins @ Tenn, No one wants to play this team right now Period! Houston, see above, Pitt at home, you have to think this team will show an ounce of pride at some point! Plus they may have their heart back in the form of their long haired hippie Safety!

The Jets Jets Jets Atlanta at home, a team reeling, @ Colts, a team that has been inclined to rest players when they lock things up. If I was Rex, I blitz the kitchen sink at Peyton early and often and make that decision easy for Caldwell, Bengals at home, they may have nothing to play for.

Obviously the Pats have earned the benefit of the doubt, but the Jets have a solid or a punchers chance at winning this division.

Something Missing!

Any person that thought Wade Phillips was the better choice over Norv Turner 3 years ago, took a nice slap in the mouth yesterday, as Norv
