Chiefs How good are the Chiefs chances at the AFC's #1 seed? - Page 9

Updated: 12/19

Teams that actually matter in this conversation:

Kansas City (10-4) (vs PIT, at CIN, at DEN)

New England (9-5) (vs BUF, vs JAC, at MIA)

Tennessee (9-5) (vs SF, vs MIA, at HOU)

Baltimore (8-5) (vs GB, at CIN, vs LAR, vs PIT)

Buffalo (8-6) (at NE, vs ATL, vs NYJ)

Indianapolis (8-6) (at ARI, vs LV, at JAC)

LA Chargers (8-6) (at HOU, vs DEN, at LV)

---

Being 1 game back with six games to play seems incredibly generous given our shitty tiebreaker situation. I'll put our odds at 99.9999999%

I play that too and here's what we learned:

The Thursday night game is basically a playoff game. If we beat the Chargers, we have a realistic shot at running the table and earning the 1 seed.

Lose to them and we're relegated to the 5th seed at best.

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease, you don't need to be gay to get it. Just shut up. :-) :-)

It has a high rate of transmission in the gay community.

As crazy as it sounds, the Cincinnati game could end up being for the #1 seed.

That's how it played out in my scenario.

Wikipedia does mention that 60% of the new cases are in gay men.

Think we will finished tied for the best record in the conference by the end of it, but we won't get the 1 bc of tiebreakers.

Yeah, very seriously. I don't think it will happen, but a slip here and there and it could. If NE, Cin, SD and Buf win this week (which they easily could) and BAL loses, we will come out of the Bye in the last wild card spot. It would be this:

1. NE 8--4
2. TEN 8-4
3. SD 7-4
4. CIN 7-4
5. BAL 7-4
6. BUF 7-4
7. KC 7-4

Who tf cares about the ranking at this point of the season? Week 12 doesn’t decide playoff seedings. Let’s finish the season before we crown anyone.

You totally missed the point. I was responding to him after I said we really need to win the West, because if we don't we could be in trouble since the teams we lose tie breakers against are all falling back to the pack.

Do some people really beat their meat to check downs and divisional round exits?

It's just a bizarre concept...

You must be new here. They were everywhere when he was on this team. Thankfully most have vanished.

The Titans are going to lose two more at least. They rely on Henry too much on offense and with him out, their luck is eventually gonna run out as evidenced by the beat down the lowly Texans gave them. That was the one loss they could not afford.
