Then survive Jason Elam missing a 40 yard FG in OT to win 33-30 and host the wild card...against the same Broncos a week later. And they blew them out in the second half, winning 42-24 after it was tied at 21 at halftime.

2006 season was crazy,& tragic for Denver. Jake Plummer led us to 13-3 in '05,& beating New England-Bradys 1st ever playoff loss. Pittsburgh killed us in AFC title game. But in '06 we were 7-2, up 24-7 mid 3rd vs a real good San Diego. Al Wilson gets hurt..LT runs crazy,& lose 35-27. 1 more at KC. 7-4, Shannahan replaces Plummer, with rookie Jay Cutler. I was fine with it then, mistake in hindsight. All came down to that last game vs SF, on New Years Eve, as they said. 49ers had like 5 or 6 wins. I wasnt in my normal 3rd level seats, but sitting with friends, like 8 rows from the field. We had a promising 2nd year cb, & return guy-Darrent Williams of Oklahoma St. Big part of AFC title game team as a rookie,& thought would be an elite player soon. He had a very rough day, especially in their comeback. I was like 29,& still, drank like a fool at the games-8 years sober now. I yelled a lot of stuff, some at him. After the game it was dead quiet, but I screamed something, as he left the field. He had to hear, but didnt react. It wasnt anything vulgar or foul, but akin to "thanks for costing us the playoffs guy." But whatever I said,& how pissed about the loss I was later that night, it instantly no longer mattered. When we heard he was shot to death, early New Years Day. Out with teamates/friends at some Denver club. Apparently, Brandon Marshall's (good wr-had like 22 catches in a game for us,& now on FS1, I think) cousin started shit with some gang members..who knows..showed em up in front of some chicks...whatever. But over some total bs, this man is dead. Made me feel pretty bad,& definitely put sports more in perspective. Kinda like last March, when the Pandemic cancelled sports for awhile.

The OPPOSITE happened in the NFC in 1988. The Giants seemed playoff-bound after three straight wins to get to 10-5, before losing to the Jets and missing the playoffs on the final day in one of the craziest last-second shake-ups that hardly anyone mentions. Although it happened a little before my time, it has stuck with me ever since I first read about it years ago. The Giants needed to beat the Jets, OR have either the Eagles or Rams lose. So what happened? The Giants essentially forgot how to play football in the first half, came back in the second half only to leave too much time on the clock and allow the Jets' game-winning touchdown. As Philadelphia had already won, the Giants' loss dropped them into a tie, where they lost the NFC East title to the Eagles via tiebreaker. It was only the second time all season that the Giants did not lead the division and the first time that season that they were behind the Eagles. They were still mathematically alive until later that night, when the Rams demolished the eventual champion 49ers 38-16 (I personally believe that Phil Simms was right about that game. How else would a team seemingly on cruise control, get absolutely CRUSHED in their regular season finale, then turn around and win 2 blowouts by a combined 62-12 and go on to win the whole damn thing?) as L.A. won the conference win% tiebreaker, .667 to .643. The 1988 Giants must be an extremely rare case (if not the only case) of a team missing the playoffs as a result of THREE things breaking against it. In today's standards, that team would've made it, beating out the Saints on a tiebreaker. But by the standards of 1988, all they got was the agony of a nasty fall from division leaders, to potential Wild Card team, to out of the playoffs completely.

You left off the 2002 season where as many as ten AFC teams were still alive for a playoff spot. The Pats upset the Dolphins on a last second field goal which opened the door for the Jets to win the AFC East title later that afternoon by beating the Packers at home. The Jets win also allowed the Browns to clinch the final wild card spot via tiebreaker thanks to their win earlier in the day against the wild card bound Falcons and better record against common opponents.

[@insertclevername4123]

I clicked on the video for that season. I went to the Browns game, had a great time, then watched a couple of minutes of the Jets game before bailing because I had a four hour drive home and didn't want the inevitable Jets' loss to ruin the day. But hey, with Butch Davis running the ship and Tim Couch finally coming into form (at least when he played on the road), it was clear that the Browns were set up for years and years of success.

Stand your ground! DON'T FOCUS on the Arizona Cardinals uniforms because that is NOT what determines Who WINS OR Who LOSES; The Overall Performance LITERALLY and PHYSICALLY on the field is what really matters. The Uniforms are there just to stand out in a way of being fashionable...

[@BillGraper]

Two of the weirdest playoff scenarios: If the Jets finished with a 2-way tie in their division, they miss the playoffs. If they finished with a 3-way tie, they WIN the division! In 2007, the Browns lost to the Bengals in week 16 & beat the Vikings in week 17. They missed the playoffs at 10-6. Had those game results been reversed, they still would've been 10-6, but they would've been a wildcard team. They needed 1 more victory against an AFC team to beat the Titans in the tie-breaker.

[@0531jos]

2002 Browns: probably not the longest of longshots, but they went in to the final game 8-7 and having to beat Michael Vick and the Falcons and get help. They beat the Falcons, then had to wait for a favorable outcome in the inter-conference Jets vs. Packers game at 4:15. Thing is, they needed the JETS--the team in their own conference--to win, not the Packers. The tiebreakers were crazy, but they needed that, and they got that. Not a long shot so much as the "man bites dog" situation where a team needs someone else in the conference to win in order to make it.
