I'll throw them a bone and say they have a 5% chance of getting in. What I'll also say is that if they do somehow manage to get in - they're going to be dangerous - same as last year. They can light up the scoreboard and play lights out defense. If they don't turn the ball over - they can beat anybody. The other thing in our favor is the state of the league. There really aren't any dominating teams right now. The Colts are 9-0 but have a historically bad run defense that can be exploited. They've won a few games in the last seconds. The Ravens are 7-2 but could easily be 4-5. The Bears got spanked by the Dolphins. Anything can happen, just like we got our asses handed to us by Oakland. All I'm saying is that should a miracle happen and we get in, we could easily win it all again. Of course, we could also end up 5-11, I'm just saying......
Here is the Wildcard Race in the AFC
San Diego 7-2 We would lose the tiebreaker. 5 games back.
NY Jets 5-4 2 games back. Not sure about tiebreaker yet.
Jacksonville 5-4 We would lose the tiebreaker. 3 games back.
KC Chiefs 5-4 2 games back. We would win the tiebreaker.
Bungles 4-5 1 game back. Currently losing tiebreaker.
Currently we would have to overtake 4 teams to capture the second Wildcard spot. San Diego is not getting caught by anyone. We're officially 3 games out of the race with 7 remaining. Can we win all 7 while 3 teams go 4-3 and one goes 5-2? I doubt it, but at least this puts it in perspective.

All we need is for Willie Parker to go over 200 yards rushing for each of the next 7 weeks and we cool. I'd give you less than 5% chance of that.
Frenchie, you better watch out. Fast Willie came within 5 yards of your record. Of course nobody wears goldfish in their shoes like the Frenchman did... not even Fast Willie.
