Let’s win the west first. That Thursday game is gonna suck. Going on the road on a short week vs chargers.

The road?

You mean Arrowhead Further West?
[Reply]

Knowing them, they'll probably win all of those and lose to the Jaguars and Texans.

NE and SF seem like the only potential bumps in Tennessee's road unless they drop another turd like today.

I'd say it seems more likely than not Baltimore loses at least 2 more with their slate, definitely rough with CLE twice, GB, at CIN, and LA.

I don't think NE can beat BUF, especially twice, so they probably lose at least one more and probably a couple.

We don't have an easy slate at LAC, at CIN, and at DEN the way we're barely scraping wins out. Yes, a win's a win, but that doesn't mean I feel overconfident in running the table.

Buffalo has a pretty tough road the next few weeks. They probably lose a couple of those games.

The Chargers at DEN, at CIN, us, and at LV don't seem like guarantees.

If I had to pick a team to get the #1 seed, it's still TEN with fairly high odds. I think you could put the rest in a mixing bowl.

I'm laughing at how much you fucking suck as a person lol
[Reply]

I don’t think anyone other than the Chiefs could get to 13 wins.

Buffalo is a mess and they have to play NE twice and TB on the road

NE has a rookie qb

Tannehill isn’t carrying them to a 1 seed

Ravens will drop a couple in the division

That 1 seed is very much in reach.
[Reply]

We lost to the Titans, so we're effectively 2 games back. Can it happen? Sure. But there's basically zero room for error.
[Reply]

Fans are going to be so big mad if we just slide up and steal that one seed again :-)

You know no one wants to come to Arrowhead.

And you know it's so fucking unfair for us to have to play one less game.

It almost guarantees us the SB with the way the defense is right now.

:-)

THEY'LL BE SO BIG MAD WE JUST GONNA BE CHILLIN THAT WILD CARD WEEKEND

Cleveland is a mess now but Baltimore should be fine and somewhat formidable if they enter the playoffs healthy.

If Jones is Trent Dilfer and Patriots have no talented players on offense, how have the Patriots outscored the Chiefs this year by 16 points? Patriots have 300 points and not many NFL teams are better than that.

Yes, easier schedule has helped but Patriots have had the disadvantage of having to get a ton of new players on offense including a rookie QB up to speed.

The Patriots offense is a Honda Accord or Subaru. Nothing spectacular but pretty good when the line is healthy and team seems like it is built fairly well for December/January football. Trent Brown is back and while the offense doesn't have a skill position player that truly needs to be doubled, they have a bunch of "good players".

[QUOTE=MMXcalibur;15969714]Teams that actually matter in this conversation:

Tennessee (8-3) (at NE, vs JAC, at PIT, vs SF, vs MIA, at HOU)

Baltimore (7-4) (vs CLE, at PIT, at CLE, vs GB, at CIN, vs LAR, vs PIT)

New England (7-4) (vs TEN, at BUF, at IND, vs BUF, vs JAC, at MIA)

Kansas City (7-4) (vs DEN, vs LV, at LAC, vs PIT, at CIN, at DEN)

Buffalo (6-4) (at NO, vs NE, at TB, vs CAR, at NE, vs ATL, vs NYJ)

LA Chargers (5-4) (vs PIT, at DEN, at CIN, vs NYG, vs KC, at HOU, vs DEN, at LV)


---

Legit possibility of losses:

Tenn: 3 (losing to the Texans says a lot)

Balt: 7 (honestly they could lose out and it wouldn't surprise me)

NE: 3 (not counting the Tenn game which we need them to win)

KC: 2 (but don't think we lose again all year)

Buff: 3 (though I have a strange feeling that NO could knock them off this coming week)

LA: 3 (but really just need to make sure KC takes care of business to put another game between us)



Tenn ends up at 12-5

Balt ends up 10-7

NE ends up 11-6

Buff ends up 11-6

LA ends up 11-6

KC ends up 13-4 and gets the bye again. We may drop one and would need Tenn to drop 3 in that case.

If you're trying to say your offense is reliable, no, Jakobi Meyers catching shit from Mac Jones will not be reliable when you play legit teams in the playoffs.

"Belichick did it once before with Brady and Branch, doh!"

Careful, Icarus.
[Reply]

Super impressed with what they're doing in NE with a rookie QB but the playoffs are an entirely different animal. We need the attrition of NE and Buffalo to clear the way for us to get the 1 seed...
[Reply]

After next week the chargers will be in first in the West. I don’t get why some of you are writing off the chargers winning the west. Chargers and Chiefs basically have the same schedule. The west is coming down to that Thursday night game and even that might be enough for the chiefs to win the west as the chargers have a better AFC record.
[Reply]

Go fuck yourself.
[Reply]

The Chargers completely shit away a 17 point lead in the 4th to a terrible injured Steelers team tonight at home. They can't be relied upon whatsoever.

Do they have a legit chance to win the division? Yes. Will they? Nah.
