Kick it here to talk about the day's activities after the Texans' massacre of the Rams.
Well, not so much massacre as much as eek.

You'll appreciate this story...
I was asked to talk about something for work, and I needed to whip out a big word (non-repudiation) to explain a concept.
As I started to explain the concept, one of the other people cut me off and asked me wtf that meant. I looked at them and explained: “I’m trying to embiggen your vocabulary, but your non-cromulent attitude upsets me.”

As a TTP
I question that this is the real bfd. I doubt he would use a word such as “people” in this instance. He would have called the offending individual an “unfuckingbelievable idiot” or such.
I suppose if all of the stars, moons and planets align it could be possible, but what are the chances of that?
Since you do not know me, my attitude, or my personality, I ask that you not project who you think I am. Thank you.

You are an offensive and humorless individual 1/2 the time. What’s your excuse?

I don't know why you got upset in the first place
If you follow the link you provided, you would realize that I was just playing on the definition of “self-repudiation”

BEARS!
not a must win, but dern close
Mount Cody in round 1
here's my take
Ravens – need to lose 2/3 (today would help)
Jets – now need to lose 1/2
Jax – now need to lose 1/2
So Ravens are the only big hurdle left. The other two are possible.
We may need the tits to lose 1/2 also, but I’m not sure which tie-breaker applies v. them.
We win the tie-breakers against Pit and Miami if we win next weekend.
Mount Cody in round 1
Tennessee is still a big hurdle too

Tits play SD next week.
NYJ plays Indy next week.
Jags play New England next week.
Baltimore and Pittsburgh play next week.
To add to that...
SD hasn’t clinched anything yet…(a win today and next week locks up the 2nd seed and the West)
NE can clinch the East with a win next week…
Indy can still go 16-0…and I’m sure they’ll play like they did last week.
So things look favorableish…..however, the Texans must win for any of it to matter.
As far as I can tell
Oakland at Denver – root for Oakland
Cincinnati at San Diego – Push
Chicago at Baltimre – root for Chicago
San Francisco at Philly – Push
Green Bay at Pittsburgh – root for Green Bay
Pitt can't hurt us
unless we lose a game, in which case we’ll need a LOT of help.
Mount Cody in round 1
We want the Texans to get to the playoffs without worrying about tiebreakers
Plus, we need the Steelers team to be angry when they play the Ravens.

no
but he scored a TD and pointed to the sky and then kneeled while looking at the sky for about 20 sec

Brandon Marshall
had Henry on his uni, which I think is cool. I wish Chad would’ve done it, as well.
Thanks!

Side note to tonight's game
Killtacular has a 1 point lead on me heading into tonight’s game, and he has Steve Smith vs. my Simeon Rice.
However, considering how many points I left on the bench, it shouldn’t even be close. Ugh.

Simeon Rice is a retired DE
I hope he isnt on your fantasy team cause you will not win with him, but I think you mean Sidney Rice

Getting there
And where’s your new BFF DaGoat with his victory beer???
I bought some New Belgium Trippel. 7.8% alkihol. Yum.
I don’t go back to work for two weeks, the wife and kids are out, and the local bar is a Packers bar. In Austin. I know of three Packers bars and one Saints bar, but not a single Texans or cowfiskers bar. Funny, that.

Next week the AFC playoffs get off to an early start
Christmas Friday: San Diego (11-3) at Tennessee (7-7)
Sunday:
Houston (7-7) at Miami (7-7)
Baltimore (8-6) at Pittsburgh (7-7)
Jacksonville (7-7) at New England (9-5)
NY Jets (7-7) at Indianapolis (14-0)
Denver (8-6) at Philadelphia (9-5)
Next week is HUGE! And the Texans are apart of it all!

I guess we’re hoping the AFC shapes up like this after next week:
Indianapolis 15-0
San Diego 12-3
Cincinnati 10-5
New England 10-5
Baltimore 9-6
Denver 8-7
Houston 8-7
Tennessee 7-8
Jacksonville 7-8
Miami 7-8
Pittsburgh 7-8
NY Jets 7-8
Dont we want Pitt to win??
If Pitt wins and everything holds to what you say, we would be tied for the 5th playoff spot with the Ravens, Broncos, and Steelers, instead of being tied for the 6th spot.

yes but in reality the Ravens and Steelers are only one spot if we all end up tied
because the way the tie breakers work is that they narrow it down to 1 team per division, so its kinda like 2 spots, 3 teams. Plus id rather have more WC spots available going into the final week

I've never heard of this tiebreaker rule.
I’ve seen divisions send 3 teams to the playoffs before.
I would think they would do head to head matchups…..and then conference records. I don’t see why they would eliminate from within divisions.
I had never heard of it before this season either
But its real and it may help or hurt the Texans. The reason 3 teams from one division can go is because the 2nd place team in that division is the clear 5 seed and the 6th seed can be won by tie breakers. Take 2007 for example: Jax at 11-5 is the clear 5 seed, Ten is 10-6 and wins the tie breaker over the Browns.
I think its stupid in a way because we could hold tie breakers over teams out of our division but if Jax or Ten are tied with us we would be royally screwed. I think the reason they eliminate within divisions is to help clear everything up because otherwise there could be years, like this one, where there is no team that holds a tie breaker over 4 or 5 other teams.

It's only if there is a tie with 3 or more teams
I suppose if all of the stars, moons and planets align it could be possible, but what are the chances of that?
Yeh, duh
I think what I meant was, I don’t think there has been a tie for the last wildcard team spot with three or more teams
I suppose if all of the stars, moons and planets align it could be possible, but what are the chances of that?
and its only if 2 of those teams are in the same division
but i guess thats obvious

Yes
two from the same division, at least three teams total, all tied for the same wildcard spot…the two from the same division go through the tie-breaker, so there is only one from that division; then the remaining teams go through the tie-breaker. Right, we got it.
I suppose if all of the stars, moons and planets align it could be possible, but what are the chances of that?
also, if Baltimore wins against Pitt
they will officially hold the tie breaker over us due to conference record. They are now 6-4 while we are 4-6. If it comes down to just us and the Ravens, they would hold the tie breaker with a win next week.

Hopefully the good texans show up at miami and not the ones who played the rams.
