I know first we have to get into the playoffs, once we do,there is still a chance for the third seed, with the hope Baltimore falls against Pitt and Buffalo. I think the best case seneiro is

We win out
Baltimore loses out
Colts are 1
Chargers are 2

Seeding
1 Indy
2 San Diego
3 Pats
4 Baltimore
5 Denver
6 not sure but who ever it is we should win except I would be scared of the Jets.

Second round
Baltimore vs Indy
Pats at San Diego

AFC Title game
Pats vs Colts..

But Cincy losing puts the last AFC spot very unclear , and not sure who is going to be the sixth seed. I just feel we could do better in Indy or San Diego.. Baltimore would be to tough espically in Baltimore..

Call me a fool but the Chargers do not scare me...when we are faced with having to shut down a RB we have risen to the task. Yes, some runners have had good days against us but those teams either have good passing attacks or are balanced. We can hold LT below 100 yards in a bend and don't break defense and Rivers to no higher than a 50 passer level game.

Phillip Rivers doesn't have enough game to scare anyone on the Patriots.

Denver and the Colts are our toughest foes in the AFC IMO and Denver has had their best days against us...we are over them. If we lose to the Colts I tip my hat to them ... Manning is playing his best ever IMO and Addai is a darn good runner...anyone else should not beat us...losing to any other team means we left some game in the locker room.

Anything less than an AFC title game with the Colts will be considered a failure IMO.

You are far from being a fool my friend.. I too am not scared of Marty Schotenhiemer in the playoffs.. I will take them than another date with Denver any day of the week..

I also agree anything less than a AFC Title game is a unsuccessful season..

I dont want NE @ RCA under any circumstances. If everything stays the way they are... NE and SD would battle it out in the AFC Divisional game. Probably be the best game of the playoffs.

Sounds good except for one thing: Denver's not getting in. Watch it unfold.

the way Cincy looked tonight ... one has to figure Denver will creep in that playoff door.

PatsFan24

denver does have our number, but with a rookie qb do you think they are really gonna come into NE and beat us in the playoffs?

We've always struggled vs. the Broncos cut blocking schemes. With two healthy Bells, they will be able to run the ball. As to Cutler, he looks better every week. Javon Walker creates match-up problems down the field. Rod Smith has always been very good against us as well.

On offense, Brady will struggle with Bailey and if Darrent Williams is healthy, it gives them another solid CB on the other side. He did throw for 320 in the Sept. game with no picks but also threw 55 times, not necessarily a good thing. Maroney and Dillon combined for 34 yards rushing. I'm not sure what the overall health of the Broncos is right now on defense. That could be a factor. If they are healthy, it's hard to see us having much success running the ball.

Even with Cutler, this would be an extremely difficult game to win even at home. Keep in mind, we had to jump through hoops to win the 2003 game at Denver when the Broncos were down to Danny Kannell at QB. Pretty much irrelevant as far as this game, but it highlights our struggles with them. Our best hope would be to make some plays in the kicking game, force a turnover or two and give the O a short field and hold on for dear life.
