SD beating Oakland is good on two counts:

1. Helps our 2nd round pick significantly

2. Puts Cincy @ Houston and I believe Cincy can win that game and thus send the Bengals to Foxboro

This is a good scenario.

Absolutely. Cincy coming into foxboro would be ideal. Would also mean a likely Balt/Pitt matchup where they can beat the piss out of each other.

This is a very realistic scenario. Cincy is playing well with Dalton and their defense has been playing well also. No doubt in my mind that Cincy can go in to Houston and beat TJ Yates.

That would be quite a treat for us for that first game at Foxboro and as mentioned. Balt/Pitt can beat the bag out of each other.

I don't care what happens in next weeks games.
I hear the 'whatever happens happens, just bring it on'. However, we have the chance to play (let's see if I can get this right): Cincy, Den or Pitt. It's not such a bad thing to want Den or Cincy versus playing, arguably, the best team in the AFC is it? (not to say Pitt is the best team but they arguably are).

I really am not worried about Pittsburgh coming here. I understand the thinking that they are a better team than the other 2, but getting the HFA is what the reg season is all about, and we should be ready to take on whoever shows up.
There is at least an equal argument that beating the best to get to the SB helps you win it as there is that getting a cakewalk there does.

Another year, another dreadful AFC West team ruining the seeding. I wish they would just go to record for seeding, with the division winners being guaranteed a wild card appearance rather than ranking above a much better team.

Not the other way around.
yeah i actually just logged on to say that the playoff scenario looks balls to the wall tough. it seems pretty clear that the AFC is a three way race with Pitt, Baltimore, and NE....by virtue of the seeding, its hardest for NE, as they will have to play both of those extraordinarily physical teams in back to back weeks for a trip to the SB.

if they get there this year, they will have to earn it and the D better strap the f up.
