We won't get the #1 seed based upon 4 conference losses already.
There's a slight outside chance at the #2 seed, but I highly doubt we'll get that one either.
We're going in either as wildcard or division winner, and either of those are fine with me because I was sure we were going to miss the playoffs entirely. (And we still might) [Reply]

Their head coach was coaching division 3 football like 3 years ago. And he never had a coaching job that WASN'T division 3 before then. And none of them were head coaching positions.
One year as a LB coach and two years as a defensive coordinator in the NFL. That's fucking it. Never played in the league. [Reply]

The patriots look like they are getting better and better. That bastard Belicheck is always a PITA. He's the one that started the scheme that ****ed with Superman Mahomes.
Both the Titans and Ravens lose two or more. Book it. Win out we are #1 seed. [Reply]

Don’t count out the Pats for the 1 seed. They beat Tits this week and they are the 1. [Reply]
The defense does better at home and it's always great for the fans to host a playoff game. Not to mention the sweet honor of potentially being able to host a fourth straight AFC Championship game.
But the offense is a fucking terror on the road. That's nearly 31 ppg on the road even accounting for that egg we laid in Tennessee.
I think I'll feel pretty confident regardless come playoff time. The biggest issue has always been being healthy at the right time. [Reply]

I don't know. I feel like that's a misleading stat. It's situational, and not so much that it's home vs. away as WHEN and WHO the opponent was.
Defense is clearly better than earlier in the year. We've been at home what, the last 3 weeks? So I don't think it's as much the home/away split as WHEN and WHO. [Reply]
If the Bills and Titans were meeting expectations, I'd say the Patriots are in for a rude awakening and could lose 4 straight after being yet another team everyone slobbers over because they have convincing wins over shit teams.... but, who the fuck knows given the past couple weekends. [Reply]

I don't know that you just pencil in a win for the Chargers at the Donks next week. Then Cincy on the road isn't a given. The Charger game is going to be huge just like the Raider game was. We saw what happened there. [Reply]
