	Yeah, by the way, you're welcome for having the Packers allow the
Steelers to back into the Central Division title by beating on of those
non-quality teams.  By the way, how has your AFC Central Division done
against the NFC Central Division this year?

BUZZER PLEASE!!!! YOU ARE WRONG ... BEING A DOLPHINS FAN APPARENTLY DEAD WRONG!

The way that the playoffs work is as follows:

Each Team in a conference is ranked based upon the final records and 
tie breaking rules (I have a copy if anyone wants them).

The rank is as follows:

	Rank 1) Division Winner with best record
	Rank 2) Division Winner with second best record
	Rank 3) Division Winner with third best record
	Rank 4) Wild Card Team with best record
	Rank 5) Wild Card Team with second best record
	Rank 6) Wild Card Team with third best record

The plays then commence by a simple rule of thumb:

	First Round Playoffs

		Rank 3 plays Rank 6 at Rank 3's home field
		Rank 4 plays Rank 5 at Rank 4's home field

	Second Round Playoffs

		Rank 1 plays the lowest remaining ranked team at Rank 1's home
		Rank 2 plays the other remaining team at Rank 2's home field

	Third Round Playoffs (Conference Championship)

		Remain teams play at the highest ranked team's home field

	Fourth Round Playoffs (Super Bowl)

		AFC Conference Champion vs the NFC Conference Champion
		at Pasadena with the NFC team acting as the home team.

Therefore, any second place divisional team will NOT have a BYE in any round
in the playoffs. Only the Rank 1 and Rank 2 teams get a BYE, and they are both
divisional winners. If Miami finishes with a better record than the divisional
winners of both the Central and the West, but finish behind Buffalo in the
East, the best that they would be ranked is #4. They would then, assuming 
ending records similar to current week #15 standings, play a first
round playoff game at home against San Diego!!!!!! Further assmueing that
both the Rank 3 and Rank 4 teams won, Miami would then play a Second Round
game in Buffalo. Just like they did in 1990!!!!!, and LOST I might add.

I agree Mirer doesn't stink.  I used to have a much higher opinion of him
las year but the Stanford game raised a lot of doubts.  You have to admit,
with a backfield of Lightning and Thunder, the passing game does take a
back seat.  

Mirer is good.  Now what's the consensus on Toretta??  Is he the next Jim

This is probably true.  But you face it, John, this is the youngest team in
the league and they are being mentioned in the same breath with the Team Of
The 80's.   The Boys may not go all the way this year, they may lose in the
playoffs, Aikman may suck, etc.

But then again, Dallas may surprise everyone and play up to their immense
potential.  John Madden says Troy is the next QB superstar (not your buddy
Young), and I respect Madden's opinion more than anybody posting on the net.
Aikman will get his Superbowl ring(s) before it is all over with, and sometime
in the next few years Dallas will take SF down in a big game.  Just watch.

Precisely why it's unlikely for them to lose to another one. I honestly
