Denver vs. Cincy... unsure who to root for

In the words of the Italian race car driver when asked about Lanborghini's small rear window, "What behind me, no matter."

if denver wins we are almost assured #1 seed

well, yes, if us beating Miami in Miami is a given. It should be, but odd things happen down there.

Here's a fact, then: when both teams have been relatively healthy since 2011, the smallest margin of victory we've had over them was 10 points.

We've owned them just like we've owned Indy, when healthy.

They're a very good match up for us.

We are talking about playing in Denver. Are you factoring in victories at Gillette? You have to be.. Because since 2001, the patriots are 2-6 in mile high. We do not own denver, in denver. If anything they own us.

One of those was a blow out win in Denver actually.

I'm rooting for Cincy because I'm still holding out hope that the Chiefs can win the division and the Broncos entirely miss the playoffs. Only because I hate those scumbags.

I think this statement is a bit misleading because:

Denver would win the #1 seed if we lose our next 2 games and they win their next 2 (one of which would come at the hands of CIN, so they'd hold the head to head tiebreaker).

 

[Danger Zone]

Damn, that asteroid is bigger than the earth and moon! We'd all die, not just den and cincy.

Unfortunately for the world, the only survivors would probably be Jets fans.

Their backup is better than their starter.

If they put their starter back in there for the rematch, we'd win by an even larger margin than if Brock was in there.

BTW - their backup wasn't doing anything until Hightower went down. We were missing our two best defenders (Collins and Hightower) and Coleman.

you missed the part stating their back up was making only his 2nd start

No, I didn't miss that at all. Their backup, even with little experience, was still their best option at QB. He wasn't even doing anything against our defense until Hightower went down and they were able to establish their running game.

Now that there is some tape on him, teams know how to play him. He's been horrendous in the last 3 games. If you don't think Bill and this defense will be able to do to him what the last 3 teams have, then you're delusional.

This should help Denver:

Bengals TE Tyler Eifert officially out vs. Broncos on Monday night.

All of the good teams the Broncos have faced have had key injuries and they played those games at home. They're far worse than their 10-4 record indicates. They've barely beaten some ****ty teams, and lost to several mediocre ones.

Once again, they're too soft and too flawed to have any success in the playoffs.

the broncos still haven't won a SB without cheating the salary cap.
wish the media mentioned this.

cheating pieces of ****. i will never root for them.
broncos has some of the most annoying fans

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

Thinking about it..i really don't care about who wins this one..Pats take care of business even 1 out of the last 2 weeks...SB goes through NE.

 

[QuantumMechanic]

Root for whichever of them you believe is most likely to lose next week, since if the DEN-CIN winner loses the following week NE is guaranteed the #1 seed regardless of what NE does.

 

[BradyFTW!]

I'm rooting for Cincy because it would be hilarious to see Denver potentially miss the playoffs. Although I think that can only happen if the Jets beat us tomorrow, so it wouldn't be that hilarious I guess.

After Brock "The Doc" Osweiler beat the Pats, he was deemed the greatest thing since sliced bread.

I've never understood the alleged significance of sliced bread. I'd much rather have an intact loaf so I can make slices as thick as I want.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

There is no way Denver is going to lose against Cincy playing at home and with Mccarran and no eifert. Pats have to win tomorrow. I am a little worried - these jet games are often close.

But .... You still slice it. ...

Most often I just tear chunks out with my teeth. Slicing is overrated.

Okay, so we lost to the Jets.... what happens now?
