Another tough game to swallow, and this one is likely a season-ender. We will have a full review and recap of today’s action later tonight; in the meantime, dish it out in the comments!

    This is from NFL.com tie breaker procedures.

    Three or More Clubs

    (Note: If two clubs remain tied after third or other clubs are eliminated, tie breaker reverts to step 1 of applicable two-club format.)

    1. Apply division tie breaker to eliminate all but the highest ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to step 2. The original seeding within a division upon application of the division tie breaker remains the same for all subsequent applications of the procedure that are necessary to identify the two Wild-Card participants.
    2. Head-to-head sweep. (Applicable only if one club has defeated each of the others or if one club has lost to each of the others.)
    3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
    4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.
    5. Strength of victory.
    6. Strength of schedule.
    7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
    8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
    9. Best net points in conference games.
    10. Best net points in all games.
    11. Best net touchdowns in all games.
    12. Coin toss

    So I guess the Broncos get priority in the division tie breaker and the head to head doesn’t matter because its more than 3 teams at 8-7.

    This is the most confusing thing ever.

  • missing cutler

    No thier are not Dee.No thier not

  • Dinger691

    Thats a fact !

  • Dinger691

    We all just have to face it ,the Broncos are done again ! They have to learn how to finsh thier own business.

  • kerry

    oh my god everybody. its simple common sense. the Ravens and Pitt BOTH beat us. if they both win next week, regardless if we win, they are in and we are out. divisional records mean nothing when we have lost to both of those teams and are tied at the end of the season.

  • BRONCOS ARE OUT

    HA HA I TOLD ALL OF YO BRONCOS ARE OUT.

  • kerry

    lets forget the playoffs for a second. here is a lovely little stat that we should all be mindful of.

    9 carries for 18 yards. name that RB and get a prize! haha.

    41 passes for 189 yards. name that QB!

  • IN YOUR FACE DEE DEE DEE

    Josh Mcdaneils just said we need help to make the plaoffs.

    wow… We trade for a starting QB and draft a running back with the 12th pick in the draft and we STILL need a QB and a RB heading into next year.

    What this team really needs is a good GM or player personnel guy.

    UUUGGGHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • areferee

    I certainly understand much of the frustration that is being expressed here, but realistically, the last 9 games have been more like most of the original expectations for this team.

    Think back to the preseason performance and all of the frustrations we were all feeling at that time. Most of the pundits were predicting doom and gloom for the regular season. Few felt it possible to have anything but a losing season.

    Well, we can’t have a losing season. At worst, 8-8. Realistically we will be 9-7. That is FAR better than most expected. Yes, we love our Broncos, but do you realistically expect THIS team to go anywhere in the playoffs, if by some miracle we squeak in?

    I suspect we should be glad we didn’t end up 4-12 or 3-13. We have a long way to go to be a contender. We need numerous player changes and even a few coaching changes to get there. But face it…Shanny is gone and McDuck is the head bird and we’ll just have to build on what has to be considered a successful season, all things considered.

    The NBC half-time break shows Denver as ‘in the hunt’ vs. the #5 seed as shown by the NFL network and ESPN.

    What the heck… I don’tknow the answer, but you know it’s cut and dry based on the tie-beaker rules. And you would think ESPN and the frickin’ NFL network would surely get it right (well maybe not the nfl nw)… How then, can NBC be different?

    AREFEREE i agree totaly.First we need to get rid of Fall down Orten.

  • the real oldest fan

    well, little boy coach, maybe you can talk to the bears and see if they have a real q.b. they might trade. you’re going to have to eat the one you have. after the mistakes of last spring you still have a few draft choices to use. maybe you can find some exceptional athletes who can win games as opposed to ordinary players who fit your system.

    quotage from an AP article:

    “The updated AFC Playoff scenarios for week 17 help several teams. The week 17 AFC Playoff scenarios most help the Denver Broncos and New York Jets, who just have to win their final game in week 17 to clinch an AFC Playoff slot.”

    oh and cbs also explains it well here:

  • BRONCOSDONTMAKEIT.

    Its ben confurmed broncos are out of the play offs.Jets hold the 5 seed baltimore holds 6 seed in the playoffs.

  • http://manchester-architects.com T-Money

    Does anybody else think that the stokely ejection was complete bullshit? and does anybody else think that the ref being uber flag happy in the first quarter was ridiculous?

  • MILELOWS

    HOW ARE THE JETS OVER THE BRONCOS IN THE PLAYOFFS.WE GOT BETTER DIVISON AND BETTER CONFRENCE RECORD AND THE BRONCOS HAVE A BIGGER MARGEN OF WINS.@##@ NBC!

  • Kawike

    As of 10:30 MST NFL Network says Denver still holds the 5 seed. To get into the playoffs they need a win over KC and losses by either Baltimore or New York. If all 3 teams finish with the same record, New York wins by common opponents, and Baltimore wins by head to head. Lets hope Cincinnati takes it to the Jets next week, because I don’t think the Raiders can knock off Baltimore.

  • broncoinva9986

    Anything can happen in this league. the bucs won yesterday over the saints. your keep dreaming can be a reality

  • dawk

    geez, thats the class I was thinking I'd see. were you there to see the Rocks choke up against the Phils too? …great heart your teams show. kind of getting to be a habit, this ending your season vs. Philly huh? we ghetto folk see the connection… check your local tv listings to see the eagles play playoff football in a couple of weeks. your schedule should be free, the broncos will be dusting off the 9-iron by then. need to return to my gutter now…..ha!

  • el duderino

    i respect our QB but when your in a 3rd and 2 and you can run for the first you should run and not throw on the run! he is not very accurate when he is moving!!! ugh, not to mention the refs bs calls against the broncs and not against the eagles….justice is blind…crap good luck next week!!! all in all a good season considering all the off season turmoil.

  • NC Bronco Fan

    I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who thought the officiating SUCKED! The no call on Stokley when he gets spun around before the ball arrives was just one of many very poor calls that affected the game. Agree the Maclin catch was close but as you point out you need irrefutable evidence to overturn and what I saw was the ball starting to be cradled in his hands with feet down, a loss of control and as he pulls it to his chest to secure the ball, his right (?) foot comes off the ground and then he controls the ball without movement….that is a irrefutable evidence of a catch??? This is not to mention the endless holding calls on Doom and other defensive line, the grab around Carter's neck as he rushed the final field goal attempt, etc. etc. The broncos need to win it through there play and not depend on the refs to help them but I was baffled by many of the calls yesterday.

  • CompUser

    I just looked on NFL.com and they show the Broncos in the number 1 wild card spot, with the Jets in the number 2 spot.

  • WhidbeyBronco

    with another draft like last year we could be going backwards!

  • WhidbeyBronco

    hear hear the officiating was amazingly bad. I'd like to hear coach complain.

  • TheTroglodyte

    I'll reserve my final judgement on the last draft until a few weeks into next year. It's very rare to have a single rookie really make a difference in their first year let alone multiple rookies. Unfortunately, however, I must agree that I am currently leaning your direction.

    it is really working very well. There is even a Vista feature (the first useful :-)), which makes it even better: you can easily map in Vista FTP-Folders as folders.

    Christian Louboutin is the most iconic big red high heels shoes, this is actually an accident. The famous shoe designers draw sketches of the time, borrowed from the assistant and a bottle of red nail polish painted on the soles. He said: “A lady came in and I said ‘great idea, red feet, I have attracted not only to attract men. Well, I support the red’.” Therefore, Louboutin’s soles Since then, as you see has been woven to keep red.
