Good point.

Titans in Nashville.

Why don’t you run your own scenarios?

They might.

Why don't you run realistic ones?

Why do we even want home field advantage? We play better on the road

Nice fantasy

You assholes get on the same page please, and quickly. I plan on making some mega cash the next few weeks on betting.

:popcorn:

They lost to the Titans and put themselves in this situation. If they don’t want to deal with that, then they should win out.

It’s up to these guys

@Tenn for sure:

Last 3 outings at Tennessee:
09/16/2018 Houston Texans 17 @ Tennessee Titans 20
12/03/2017 Houston Texans 13 @ Tennessee Titans 24
01/01/2017 Houston Texans 17 @ Tennessee Titans 24

People tend to dismiss Division games, but those are hard to win.. Andy makes it look easy ---

Last night was a perfect example. Indy with No Mack (who is their workhorse), gimpy Hilton and they played Houston close on the road.

You admit they might lose to the Titans in Nashville & then say run realistic ones?

Do you think there’s a chance the Patriots lose to Dallas? at Houston? to the Chiefs? Think the Ravens can lose to the 49ers or Rams?

There are no sure things but there’s still a chance that the Chiefs can still get the number one seed.

None of those individual outcomes are unrealistic, but it’s hard to see NE losing three straight.

There's a difference between being possible and realistic... I don't think the Texans will lose to the Titans in Nashville THIS season. And to be clear, in an earlier post to Joe Delaney, I was referring to your overall playoff scenario as not being realistic because you had the Chiefs as the ONLY team winning out, while others lost several games. That's not being very realistic at all IMO.

Sure, an unrealistic one.

THIS season the Texans are much better than the Titans. I don't see them losing there again this season. However, based on recent history, I stand corrected in my inclusion as it being "unrealistic."

I know... WHILE KC RUNS THE TABLE!!!!!!! :rolleyes:

That's what makes it unrealistic in my book. Possible, sure. But realistic?

OP Update

Currently

1. Patriots 10-1
2. Ravens 8-2
3. Texans 7-4
4. Chiefs 7-4
5. Bills 8-3
6. Steelers 6-5


We also have the Raiders, Colts and Titans at 6-5, in that order, for the final spot, should PIT drop off.

I think we just cheer for the pats to beat the Texans and hope the chiefs win out.

Balt has a tough schedule upcoming so just hope for the 2 seed

How is their schedule tough? Other than the 49ers, they should win all the other games easily

Agreed

Jets and browns are playing well, bills are paper tigers I think but we’ll see.

Steelers defense playing well

The Ravens are good, but I think they are at best a 12-4 or 11-5 team.

There is no reason to believe the Chiefs can't be the 2nd seed.

Yeah Ravens have a reasonably tough schedule, they could lose to the Rams, 49ers, Bills. Jets are playing better, they already lost to the Browns this season, and the Steelers lost to them by only 3. They could definitely lose 2 of them, the Texans lose 1 of the 5 (probably to the Pats but also maybe Tennessee) and the Chiefs win out.

I think the 2 seed is pretty realistic if the Chiefs can win out.

And, frankly, that doesn’t seem very unrealistic itself. Won’t be easy to overcome the refs in Fixboro, but a recharged KC team can blow out this Patriot team.

so far, a "classic Reidian Run" seems to be a loss in the championship game...

Juss' sayin'...

I don't think the Ravens will have any trouble with any of those teams. But I'll hope for an upset.

In 2 weeks the Chiefs could have gone from possibly wild card team (if they lost to Raiders and Raiders beat the Jets) to a 2 seed (if the Ravens lose to Rams and 49ers and Chiefs win at home)

How amazing would that be. Then we could go to Gillette in AFCG and stomp their asses

Man, 49ers-Ravens is gonna be a great game next week.

Rams tomorrow night?

Lol

The Steelers in the playoffs?

What a crazy season

I think the Pats finish 1st, Ravens 2nd.
I prefer the Chiefs face NE as a 4 seed. I don’t think we would match up well with Baltimore coming off a bye - I’d rather see them after they play a game.

1. Pats 15-1
2. Ravens 13-3 (loss to 49ers)
3. Texans 11-5 (loss to Patriots)
4. Chiefs 11-5 (loss to Patriots)
5. Bills 10-6 (losses to Cowboys/Ravens/Patriots)
6. Colts 9-7 (they win some crazy tiebreak)

Rams suck.

Yeah if they don't get the 2 the 4 is better to play a weak NE team. Chiefs clearly have the best personnel in the AFC when healthy so really not worried about seeding.

They've been hot for sure. But we've seen weirder shit happen. The Jets have the best run D in the league IIRC, so that could be helpful.

I think the 9ers beat them and I'm interested to see what the Rams can do tonight.

I'd really like to have them drop a few and the Chiefs jump up to the 2 seed. I think an ideal scenario would be the Ravens as the 4 seed and the Chiefs as the 2 with the south winner at the 3. I don't think it happens but we shall see.

We’ll probably play the Titans again in the WC at home and everyone will be on edge the entire week.

they have to play on the road 3 of the last 5 weeks including two games against the Texans and another against the Saints

they're ****ed

Yep, Chiefs need to win out and Balt needs to drop 2 games. I think this is somewhat likely they have the rams, 49ers, Bills, and two div rival games they already lost 1 to the browns and almost 1 with the Steelers.

1 seed is out the door since it looks like AFC is running through FB again this year. ****.

Concern would be that it's hard to beat a team 2x at their place in the same season, especially in NE. Even if we get the 2 and go to FB it will be tough to get a win there.

It would be a tough pill to swallow missing out on the SB again because of the Pats. My hate level of them at that point would dissolve me.

It took Spags stupidly leaving out Pennell, the special teams screwing up three kicks and Andy being dumb on 3rd & 2 for us to lose that game...that doesn't happen again imo and I'd gladly take the Titans right now if offered.

Damien's fumble didn't have any effect on the outcome of that game?

We should be 9-2 and cruising to a first round bye right now, with an opportunity to play the Pats for the #1 seed in 2 weeks.

The Titans game was an unbelievable **** up for so many reasons and we never should have lost to the freaking Texans after being up 17-3 near the start of the second quarter AT HOME. That was awful.

The other 2 losses were legit. Packers w/o Mahomes (actually played them a lot tougher than I thought we would) and Colts (they just flat out beat us, outcoached us, etc., no excuses).

Frustrating to think about what SHOULD have been right now . . . . .

I would say the Colts or Texans will be coming to Arrowhead for the WC weekend.

I like our chances against either team but I’ll be sh*tting bricks for a week leading up to it.

Also, I’d prefer the Colts because I think Watson is the tougher matchup for our D (even though I think the Colts are better overall).

If we dont get a real bye, we will likely get a week 17 bye week against the chargers if 3 or 4 seed is locked

It'll either be Colts, Bills or Steelers coming to Arrowhead for Wild Card weekend (Texans are winning the AFC South). I'd welcome any of them.

I just pray the seeding works out to where we get to go to Foxborough for the divisional round. It's time to end the ****ing Brady-Bellicheat era. I pray that we are the team that gets that opportunity first.

You can add the Titans to that list as well

Good point

It's not just the bye that's the important part though. It's only having to win 2 games vs 3 to get to the SB.

And likely only 1 road game.

The Texans game and the Titans games were the death blows. You win those 2, you've got New England in 2 weeks for a chance at the 1 seed.

This is the bed they’ve made...

Now they need help to get that bye. But at the end of the day, the most important thing is being the healthiest team, playing the best at that moment. We’ll see if they get there.

Yup.

If they can get HOT and stay healthy, nothing to stop them from making a run in January. Despite the shitty hand they've dealt themselves.

The issue with being the 2 or the 3 seed at this point, is that it means you're probably gonna have to beat both the others. Atleast with the 2 you would likely get them at home and coming off a bye.

There's a scenario where the Chiefs have to go to NE and to Balt to get to the SB. That's not ideal.

Yeah but the Texans and especially Colts game was just awful luck. We were at home and we still had devastating injuries all over the place.

If we even had Tyreek, we probably win the Colts game, but all the injuries just killed us.

Get healthy and be 100%. I’d rather have 100% health than a bye with guys out for the year if I had to choose.

This team is likely gonna get 2 bye weeks in 6 weeks. That will most certainly help.

Unfortunately, at this point, I think we're going to want NE to beat HOU. As long as we beat the Raiders the division is practically guaranteed. Then it's just hoping for BAL and HOU to lose more games than us.

Patriots are still men of low moral fiber

You guys should tank for the #4 seed instead of the #3. With the 4 seed you play Belichik in Foxboro first then Baltimore. With the 3 seed you will play Baltimore first and that hurts you in 2 ways:

1. Baltimore will injure half your starters so you'll be beat up going into Foxboro.

2. While you're facing Baltimore Belichik will play some fake ass team like Buffalo, effectively giving them another bye.

Better to face Belichik first then Baltimore, IMO.

You’re probably right about all that

Bring 'em on. Bring 'em all on.

We’ve beat Baltimore already not scared of them or NE. The thing is this team can beat anyone but can also lose to anyone

Didn't you just say the Chiefs can't beat Baltimore. JFC penbrook

The Chiefs can beat anyone, even themselves!

Think Ravens go undefeated the rest of the season and Patriots lose at least 1 more and become the 2 seed.

I hate that I’m even saying this cause it can’t be changed but when I think about trying to beat NE or Baltimore, I can’t help but to think how much easier it could be if we had Kareem.

It's not like he's looked that great since he came back.

At the end of the day, it's his fault he's not on the team and we should move on.

Who cares if we have Kareem or not!! D Will comes alive in the posts season and so does Watkins. I’m expecting big things when we go into Baltimore and rape faces!!

Reviewing the schedules I like are chances for the #3 seed. We have to beat the Raiders first. We should and will and I'll be at the game so hell yeah.

If we get the 3 seed do we face the Ravens or pats after we beat some scrub wild card team?

#3 plays #2 in that scenario.

The AFCS is still up for grabs. The #4 seed.

The #6 seed is up in the air. Pitts, Texans, Colts, Tits, and the Raiders all could end up the #6 seed. The Brown Spots have an outside chance to be the #6 still.

The Bills seems to have a hold on the #5 seed but they do have a tough schedule. Starting with at the Cowboys on Turkey Day.

You are correct sir.

Its just a fact. People can say whatever they want about why and whos fault but if we had Kareem joining this team a week or two ago, things would be looking much brighter.
I still love the guy! Wish we would have taken the patient road and waited things out.

OP Update

Currently

1. Patriots 10-1
2. Ravens 9-2
3. Texans 7-4
4. Chiefs 7-4
5. Bills 8-3
6. Steelers 6-5

What's the point? If we kept Kareem and dealt with the blowback through that, the likelihood that we would've been able to stick with Hunt through his ordeal would've been reduced. No point living in the counterfactual because there's a lot going on there.

That's fine. Chiefs have the potential to beat every single one of those teams.

But also have the potential to lose to any of those teams

Maybe. I think this team is a lot stronger than they've let on. The Chiefs have been through hell this season injury-wise, with one of the toughest schedules, and they're still sitting at 7-4. They're a sleeping behemoth who's about to wake up.

I bet he was going to sonic

It is the NFL not college football. ;)

If the Chiefs score more than their opponent they win....if not they lose

We need to stay at least the 3rd seed. We don't want to play the bills in the WC, even at home.
