With a little help from the Connecticut Post, the Jets tell us how they can make the playoffs, or at least think playoffs past this weekend:
First, they must beat the 14-0 Colts on Sunday in Indianapolis. This seems improbable, especially after the way the Jets lost Sunday. Peyton Manning is my choice for league MVP – followed by Darrelle Revis – and I would never bet against the Colts with Peyton under center.
The Jets must also hope Jacksonville (7-7) loses at New England (9-5), AND Miami (7-7) loses vs. Houston (7-7). Both could happen.
Plus, either of the following must occur:
Baltimore (8-6) loses at Pittsburgh (7-7), OR Denver (8-6) loses at Philadelphia (10-4). Both could happen, certainly one of the two could occur.
Wow, that loss to the Falcons hurt. At least we’re still talking playoffs.
