A ton of things have to happen for Jacksonville to make the playoffs.  It is still possible and here is how.

 

Right now

 

Houston 6-6

Indy       6-6

Jax        4-8

Ten       3-9

 

1. Indy has to lose out:  A loss against Jack,Tenn,Houston would put their division record at 3-3 overall 8-8.

2. Houston has to lose out: A division loss against Jacksonville and Tenn puts their record at 3-3 overall 8-8

3. Jax has to win out: Beating the colts and texans would put our division record at 3-3 overall 8-8.

 

So the next number that determines a  playoff birth after record and divisional record is points scored.

 

The Jaguars currently are 1st in the division with 275 points scored vs Colts in second with 259.

 

Still not over yet.   Of course a Jim mora post is just as likely.

For pity's sake.....give it up man.

Atlanta and 'horns, if not the saints and clots are going to eat us alive.

We couldn't even beat the two worst in the league.

We aren't making playoffs

---

I know, its ridiculous. We are not winning out.

---

we cant even win a game convincingly.   lolol

---

Let it go man, let it go.

---

What year are you talking about and who is the HC?

---

I survived the Gus Bradley Error.

Hey you're in it until your not.

---

We'd be in "first place" right now if we would have beaten the last 2 teams who had a combined record of 4-17

It's nice to have optimism, but the playoffs were never my goal for this season. This season is about Bortles' progression.

Well, we're not mathematically out of it.  That's nice to know...  The probability of this is pretty astronomical, like Heart of Gold astronomical.  But, hey, stranger things have happened...

Well I would like to hear about one of those stranger things.

That's whyI referenced the picture...   :thumbsup:

---

The OP is wrong. If the Colts and Texans both go 1-3 and the Jaguars go 4-0, we are in.

---

This is my heart, but my mind and logic tell me no way. I would be ecstatic if we got to 6-10 at this point though! That is a solid year compared to what we have had! lol. Next year is make or break though, we better sure up that defense.

Chris Berman....and that's why they play the game.


We're still in it until we ain't.

---

Since we're living in a fantasy world, I'll play along.


Theoretically, we could still win the division at 7-9. Must beat the Colts and Texans, but can still lose against either the Saints or Falcons (have to win one of those though).


Texans have to beat the Colts in week 15. Finally, Tennessee has to help us out a bit by beating Houston (wk 16) and Indy (wk 17).


If everything plays out, the Jags would have the best win percentage in conference games and win the 3-way 7-9 tiebreaker.


Suck on that, AFC South.

It's not happening...

No, that's not correct. Total Points Scored is the 10th tiebreaker, and it's impossible to see Jax getting past the 6th (Strength of Schedule) ... San Diego + Cleveland isn't going to touch Cincinnati + Kansas City or Denver + Pittsburgh.

2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.
   
3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games.
   
4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
