Still don't get how it makes any sense to fire a coach at this point in the season while his team is still alive in the playoff hunt.

They need to win their last three (Cle, Mia, @ NYJ... Very possible)
They need Baltimore to lose 2 of thier last 3 (Phi, @ Pit, @ Cin... Very possible they lose those two road division games although Droford will be here soon to tell you they're locks.)
They need Miami to lose in week 17 to New England (Very possible)
They need Houston OR Tennessee to lose 2 out of their last 3. (They play each other in week 17 so that's also very possible.)
They need Denver to lose to New England today and to Oakland in week 17 (Possible)

Is it LIKELY that all of those outcomes work out in their favor? Probably not. But there's at least a chance. If Buffalo wins and Denver loses along with Houston or Tennessee then it makes no sense to fire Rex Ryan. What's the upside? Not like you're gonna pull Bill Parcells out of retirement or something for the final two games of the season anyway.
