Chiefs How good are the Chiefs chances at the AFC's #1 seed? - Page 57

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%

My little birds are chirping and it's not good news. COVID-19 related. Hoping it's false. Ugh.

Pretty sure Fabiano is a Dallas fan, so maybe Dak?

Keep this shit in the NFC, please.

Oh God no please no.

My guess is Jonathan Taylor. I've heard Indy is in the midst of an outbreak and Marlon Mack was added to the list recently.

Could also be another day of 100+ positive tests.

No one else reporting anything at the moment.

Good news:

Travis Kelce, Lucas Niang & Nick Bolton are expected to return to the Chiefs’ active roster before tomorrow’s practice, per a source.

Uh, they did if I'm not mistaken. If they have symptoms that's another thing.

If you're saying stop testing players with symptoms well that's idiotic.

Timely:

The NFL and NFLPA are discussing potential changes to COVID protocols based on new CDC guidance that cuts the recommended isolation period from 10 days to 5 days, per sources. Nothing done yet. But changes could allow most players who test positive Mondays to play Sunday.

So that miracle loss did ultimately help give us the #1 seed. The Dolphins have been helping us out a ton since 2018.

No. It gave us the 2 seed. The 14-2 Ravens had the 1 seed. But, when they went one and done, the Chiefs became the highest remaining seed and got to host the AFCCG.

False alarm, sounds like its just Wentz.

It's Wentz

Colts place Carson Wentz on COVID-19 list. https://t.co/bdeckY24jk

That was the 2019 season. You can literally Google all of this.

Yeah. I know. I thought that we were talking about the 2019 season.

OMG hahaha this can't be real

Colts need to call Philip Rivers. Have heard it's being discussed.

I think the NFL will eventually add another team, giving back the bye to the top two seeds.

I remember that. I think the pats also had a 10 win season and did not make the playoffs. Will be more common now.
