Who do you want to face in the playoffs?

Every opponent on the list is too tough. We need to forfeit the game.

This. I am not convinced the jets can go into Cincy and beat them. And I'm not convinced the Broncos can beat the bengals a second time. The bengals will be healthier the second time around with eifert, etc. playing

Idk. We are seeing the jets. I got a feeling this will be the afc divisional matchups.

Jets vs pats and KC vs Denver. I see both road teams winning. Both road teams in the wildcard game.

Bengals v Jets - Jets

Texans v Chiefs - Chiefs

You have both the Jets and the Chiefs winning on the road in the Wild Card round...I think the Jets lose in Cincinnati and the Chiefs win in Houston. By making the Playoffs, the Jets have already "exceeded expectations." Remember in August, we were mostly talking about the Bills and Dolphins and not the Jets.

So, then the Pats get the Chiefs and the Broncos get the Bengals. The Broncos definitely get the better of those two draws, IMO. Bottom line: at some point the Pats are going to have to beat a good team on a roll if they're going to get to the SB.

With BB in charge, they're not looking past Miami, but they are probably doing a lot of game planning for the Chiefs these days.

A Cincy vs Denver rematch will be interesting depending on the QB situations! I was really impressed with AJ for the most part last night! I think the Bengals would've easily won had Dalton played last night. I think Cincy will knock off the Jets & Houston can knock off the Chiefs! Anything can happen on the road in the playoffs! This will be a fun ride!

Jets
Chiefs
Cardinals

For me, I'm playing the revenge card. Give me the Jets and Denver.

I was relieved the Giants did not make the playoffs. Revenge/Smenge.

The Jets are the kind of weird team with a solid offense with enough playmakers and a very good defense who could pull a 2007 or 2011 Giants and run the table in the playoffs. Like those Giants teams, they could also get utterly blown out in the first round. Divisional games scare me in the playoffs, though.

The jests is going to the SB because their hc is Todd Bowles!

Ideally, I'd lile to play the Mariotta-less Titans; and the Luck-less Clots; and then the blowhard Romo-less Cowboys. But such is impossible.

I'd like to say that this Patriots edition may be the deepest, most talented and also the Grittiest of all the teams of the Dynasty. It is the most injured in history of the League as well. To compile the record that they have instead of something like 4-12, is testimony to True Grit and Great Coaching and a perspicacious GM.

Hats Off to the 2015 Patriots !

I agree, the Chefs are a well coached and well rounded team and won't be an easy out. The Patriots feast on teams that are mistake prone and the Chefs aren't that kind of team. I still think they would beat them but underestimating then Is foolish.

I am very scared of the chiefs. Granted, they have not really played anyone in the second half but they still scare me.

Couldn't agree more.

I was attacked when I said this Jets team is very good and they'll give us a tough time if we face them in the playoffs.

They are familiar with us (as we are with them) and they always play us tough. They are remarkably healthy, on a roll, with a great defense, and a talented and serviceable offense. Needless to say, they are no cupcake.

I am not scared, but I'm cautious.

I see us playing the Texans. I think both the Jets and Chiefs lose on the road.

Then, we get the Broncos. But since Osweiler is banged up, we get Brady-Manning one last time!

The thread title did say "Who do you WANT...". What I really want is the team to get healthy and play better football.

So if jets beat Bills and all other favored teams win week 17, Pats could face Jets 6th ,KC 5th, or Houston 4th . If Jets lose then Pitt takes 6th seed . Jets or Pitt vs Bengals and KC vs Houston .
Hoping for Bengals win and Houston . Pats v Houston and Den v Bengals .

Would rather play Jets than Pitt. Jets suck , and Fitz is due for a 3 int game

I would love to play The Dolphins in the first round, Johnny Fussball and the Browns in the AFCCG and the 49ers in the Super Bowl. However I'm fine with anyone they have to beat to win #5.

My Nightmare Scenario:
1. Denver 12-4 beat SD
2. New England 12-4 lose in Mia
3. Cinncinatti 12-4 beat Bal
4. Houston 9-7 beat Jax
5. NY Jets 11-5 beat Buf
6. Kansas City 10-6 lose at home to Oak

KC beats Cincy
NYJ beat Houu

KC beats Den
NYJ beat NE

NYJ beat KC

Roger Goodell, the media and Hatriot Nation have multiple orgasms for 2 weeks then Arizona whips them in a no contest SB and Carson Palmer gets Hall of Fame cred with Kurt Warner as his biggest advocate.

Commence barfing in 3...2....1....

Man that was looking pretty darn good there, up until the end.

Yeah, I don't see how the ultimate nightmare scenario is anything but the Jets winning the Super Bowl.
