Belichick has traded away his two best defensive players, they've struggled to beat the Jets and have only beaten 2 teams with a winning record this year.

Their last quality win was 6 weeks ago against the Steelers, who were without Rothlisberger, so I'm not even sure that counts as a quality win.

Bennett is going to play. May not be 100%.

It would be nice to win the next 2 and give some guys 2 weeks off

Whoever wins the AFC Westis almost guaranteed a first round bye. The Pats have to play three teams still playing for something so not out of the realm of possibility that they drop two. Not likely, but possible.

I think the Patriots are vulnerable in 3 of their last 4 games:

Baltimore
At Denver
At Miami

The Jets just look dead. I suppose it's their Super Bowl but they're terrible.

The Broncos, by virtue of their defense, are a real threat to beat the Pats.

If I had known that would happen I would have been rooting for the Raiders to win.

Smasher was he will be cheering denver tomorrow

Jets didn't even care on mnf. Maybe petty could give them energy but I doubt they even put up a fight.

According to this nifty thing, we've still got a 40% chance of winning the 2 seed and 31% chance at the 5 seed. Only 5% chance of missing the playoffs entirely.

Relax.

So, if the Raiders lose, we remain in the #2 spot?

We might as well root for Denver to lose as well then.

Yes. And yes. If we concede that we're not getting the #1 pick, we want the Broncos to lose.

I'll concede that just so that I can cheer for them to lose.

Shoot I don't need a playoff simulator. I know what's gonna happen. A road playoff loss in Baltimore or Pittsburgh.

We CANNOT win the #1 seed anymore unless NE lost all three and we win last two

Not going to happen :shake:

If I'm reading everything correctly, the Chiefs will clinch if:

The Chiefs win ANY game (vs Broncos or @ Chargers)
The Ravens lose ANY game (@ Steelers or @ Bengals)
The Steelers lose to the Browns (ha!)
The Dolphins lose BOTH games (@ Bills and vs. Patriots)

DaFace 12-18-2016 06:35 PM

It's pretty simple for the division. Now that the Raiders have won, we need to have a BETTER record than them through the final two games. If they lose one, we need to win both. If they lose both (unlikely), we have to win one.

DaFace 12-18-2016 06:40 PM

Oh, and in terms of raw percentages, it gives us a 98% chance of making the playoffs, but only a 27% chance of getting a bye at this point.
