The Colts currently lead the division at 7-3, but they're being hammered right now by the Cardinals 34-3. If the Colts lose this game, and proceed to lose the rest of their games, and the Jags by some Miracle happen to win the rest of their games including a win over Indy in week 17, than the Jags would win the division. A record of 7-9 would be good enough just to win the division. It's already happened before with the NFC West in 2010.
Furthermore, Tennessee would also have to lose it's remaining games as well. If push comes to shove and the Jags, Titans, and Colts are statistically tied after 17 weeks, than Jacksonville would win the tiebreaker as we would have swept both Tennessee and beaten Indy. The same can be said for the Texans as well, but I think that after losing 9 straight games, they're pretty much dead in the water.
I understand that the odds of all of this occurring are literally astronomical, and the Jags would need some Divine Intervention for all of this to happen, but it's just an interesting thought.
If we win out, currently there is a 2.5% chance we make the playoffs. That may go up if the Colts continue losing. There is an overall .002% chance we make the playoffs.
This topic would be viable in 2 or 3 weeks if we continue to improve our chances significantly and aren't eliminated. But right now it's a pretty big pipe dream.
Texans and Jags currently have an equal shot at the playoffs.
If only the titans didn't choke on that Thursday game we would be closer. But yeah I believe!!!
Let's not get so far ahead of ourselves that we get lost and can't find our way back home again...okay?
The Jags HAVE to win out to even have a shot at winning the division. The Colts have 7 wins already and the Jags have 9 losses.
I hear "crazier things have happened" several times a season, when scenarios like this example come up. Let me just say this, If the Jags made the playoffs, or even crazier won the division, it could be said that NOTHING crazier has ever happened in the history of the NFL, IMHO.
And btw, 6-10 would not win the division as the Colts already have 7 wins. I don't think it's possible to win a division at 6-10. it might be possible for a division winner to be 7-9, but that team would have to win the tiebreakers against the other 7-9 divisional team.
As far as all the crazy playoff talk goes, I guess it just means that the Jags have not been mathematically eliminated from the playoff picture yet.
