Oh I want A-positive and the GB slackers

Never before has a rookie QB won a super bowl...

First time for everything

If they beat ATL, Ten and Buffalo, they will be a serious contender.

If they beat Atlanta (which they should, I hope) and then the Titties AND Billdos, they would be AFC favorites, never mind contenders...

Still think those two above are the cream of the conference, but the Pats might now be right there below them with the AFCN, Indy & the AFCW...

That's 10 teams (really 9 because Denver isn't a serious contender) for 5 spots... That's a lotta disappointment...

The Home Stretch begins one week from Sunday...

If the pats can beat Tennessee, their confidence, which is already high, will go through the roof.

Billdos

Well done. LOL

If they somehow win the next three (I dont think they will but we'll see).. I am thinking first round bye.

That's what I meant.

Yeah that was a good one which they asked for.

Why not us? ... Exactly, why not us...

Keep improving, keep working and anything can happen... Afc seems like the weak sister conference this year... Two/three teams Baltimore, Buffalo and Tennessee... Followed up by an inconsistent kc...

We got a shot... Three games will decide the tie breakers... beat the teams we should beat, then go 1-0 two or three times vs the Ravens and bills and we punch our dance ticket... Once at the dance, anything can happen...

So indeed, why not us

Path as wild card: Tenn wins the south, Buf the east, KC the west, and Balt the north, in that seed order. We'd be the #1 WC along with two of the Colts-Chargers-Bengals-Raiders-Steelers-Browns-Broncos. Uur first playoff game would be @ Baltimore, then @ KC if they win their WC game, then @ TN coming off a bye assuming they win their 1st game. Tough road.

Path as east champ: we can win the East if we split with Buf, win all our other games, and they lose @NO or @TB. Tall order cause we have to beat TN & Buf at home, and @ Indy. But if we do it we'd have the tiebreaker over the Bills, we'd likely end up as the #2 seed at 12-5, and we'd have 2 home playoff games, which is definitely viable.

Not likely we can catch TN unless we win out which isn't too likely. The Titans have a pretty easy schedule the rest of the way.

Here ya go, haters.

From FO's playoff odds.

That's an enormous jump in our playoff odds from last week.... Looks like we have the inside track to the #5 seed overall which as of right now would mean - a date in Arrowhead in January. Looking forward to it!

Quibble on the division scenario: The Bills would need to lose to the Jets in week 17 rather than NO or TB, because otherwise they win the tiebreaker with a 5-1 division record. Our road to the east is by either winning both games with Buffalo, or splitting with them and having them drop two more (with us winning out) or having their fifth loss be to the Jets. And the last time I relied on the Jets winning a week 17 game to give us the division title Brett Favre Brett Favred harder than he ever has before.

There are no outstanding teams this year, including Rams and Packers. Anything can (and probably will) happen.

It will be some unlikely winner.

And yes, why not us be that unlikely winner. It can happen. We need luck.

Yep, lots of it...especially regarding injuries. Our depth is razor-thin in some areas.

 

[TheRazorsEdge]

Guys, we're not losing again this season. Lol.

Kidding.

Sorta.

Not really.

 

[UrbanCowboy]

It seems like whenever you think a team is good, they lose the next week! Really seems to be no one standing out from the pack ... which kinda scares me about thursday night
