I am going to assume that means Point Margin between common games.

I.E. We beat Tampa 31-6, Atlanta beat them 27-21.. We had a 25 point margin thus a larger Strength of Victory.

Keep in mind, that only comes into play if everything above it is a dead tie.

All we need is to take care of business Sunday and have the Bucs win over ATL.

That happens and we are in the driver's seat for HFA.

We've got five games left...and none of them are automatic. This is not a new rodeo. We really have to win Cinci and St. Louie games and then put together some of our best stuff in Atlanta and Baltimore to give ourselves the best chance. Ending the season at home against Tampa Bay may also cause a few ulcers. Tampa trying to make a statement, go down swinging, and play beyond themselves, and a couple of our guys don't eat their Wheaties...been there. We have to handle our business and get some help clipping the DirtyBird. We have to just settle into domination mode and let the chips fall where they may. We can beat anybody, home or away, when we play our brand of football.

Still we need to just win. There's still 9 teams in the thick of things.

Everyone should also bash/blame Hartley. It's his fault we MAY be playing on the road.

No it isn't. It's been a team effort. He didn't lose the Cleveland game or the Ar game. I'm sure if you go back and look at the Atlanta game you'll find jalf a dozens plays that were just a crucial to that loss as the missed FG.
