I think for me i gotta know what win total teams got to really think about the probabilities. Like if pit keeps Baltimore out and is 11-6 with wins over Detroit and the ravens down the stretch we probably won’t feel great going in there on the road when that moment comes. I don’t expect this part of it to be the case but they could even beat us in the regular season. If they limp in I can definitely get behind the layup game type vibe. Same kinda deal with the broncos although we don’t play them.

Yea feels like people are in a bit of denial about how much dumb luck there is in a single game elimination football playoff. Even if you’re a pretty big favorite in the road wildcard game it’s probably a 60/40 odds type situation that you entirely skip by getting a bye instead and who knows how the wear and tear of that game could effect the next game If pit keeps Baltimore out and ends up the ‘worst’ division winner I don’t think we’d be that big a favorite in that 4 vs 5 wildcard game tbh. They would’ve had to have beaten a few good teams down the stretch.. of course if Baltimore just implodes and pit looks meh maybe the optics are different

Yea I think people are picturing how the broncos/steelers look now when they choose but I don’t really see the broncos holding off the chiefs without beating some good teams down the stretch. Same goes for the Steelers and ravens the pats would be in that mix too who maybe would’ve beat us twice if we end up the 5 seed. The dynamics change a lot based on how teams got to certain win totals. If the pats lose the rematch to us but end up a win ahead I wouldn’t even think twice about possibly seeing them again

Colts can probably coast to an afc south win but if someone like pit or denver does enough to hold off the ravens/chiefs down the stretch they are probably pretty good teams at minimum. Right now yea it’s easy to see those two teams as pretty ehh but it’s gonna take a couple months of solid efforts to keep the ravens and chiefs out. I think I’d rather play the lowest remaining seed in the divisional and the conf championship both at home than three pretty good teams on the road but I can see both sides. Football is just so unpredictable…if the wrong guy gets injured in the wildcard round the party is over

Some of it comes down to seeding but the extra rest/prep time against the divisional opponent goes a long way imo if the ravens and chiefs both make the playoffs and play eachother before they play us, 1 seed is a no brainer imo. If we’d get one of them in the divisional and possibly 1 in the conference championship I can see the other side of it but would probably go 1 seed still

It’ll be the first time they played ALL road games if they don’t win the division at least 😂

Yea I had to add from the team there haha you caught me in time 😂

Everything but smelling salts since those aren’t allowed anymore from the team 😂

Hopefully they’re great next week 😂. They can definitely force you into an ugly game I will say that.

Preseason legend Kenny Pickett time

Might hurt less than the fingers tbh haha we played with punts/punt blocking in our backyard football game one time, someone blocked a punt and bent back all their fingers. Never did it again 😂

One of the more ridiculous qb carries I’ve seen lol

The Broncos offense is absolutely terrible until it’s an absolute requirement to score points late in a game lol feels like there’s always down 2 scores late

I don’t think he’s even top 3 😂

Yea this is a weird game to choose a winner but that’s where I’m at…I think the afc west teams will take eachother out of the 1 seed race

Have to but won’t 😂

Is there a worse team in the league through three quarters than the broncos?

Oh yea they’re not good even at full strength lol I just don’t think theyre like 2-7 start bad

Here’s to hoping it’s the last time Travis sees old Highmark (meant in a good way for our team) 😂

It’d be interesting to look at the whole league’s injury situation…really feels like it’s happening to everybody this year. Miami lost two corners right in a row in camp and the guy they brought in to replace them is now injured too. Wild

Man …looking back, Miami’s first 3 games were kinda a meat grinder who knew at the time 😂 got written off after losing to Indy,NE, and Buffalo but honestly probably could’ve turned it around a small amount if tyreek survived that jets game. Maybe they’re 4-5 ish if he stayed healthy. really only lost that NE game by achane’s toe also not trying to talk up the tyreek-less dolphins haha but it’s interesting to think about how much of an embarrassment those first two losses seemed at the time and how solid those two teams ended up being. Colts pats bills are a combined 20-6 now

Dolphins have some important guys banged up too…chop Robinson missed practice again which is probably a bigger deal now that jaelan phillips is gone. No Rasul Douglas (who’s been pretty darn good tbh) means Ethan Bonner will probably get his first start bradley Chubb and Zach Sieler are dealing with minor stuff but will play I’d guess

Depth has been an issue imo…becomes more glaring as the season goes on cuz you’re gonna lose some guys for the season Stuff like benford going down and getting replaced by Elam just can’t happen. Can’t have depth everywhere but cb is not the one I woulda messed with 😂 Depth this year feels better but hopefully Ed at least can come back for the playoffs when you’re in a cap pickle really gotta hit on a lot of picks to have decent depth. It’s feelin like we had a solid draft and players from previous classes have turned the corner a bit too

There’s absolutely no shot this is the case lol it’s straight up cope based on them not wanting to believe that Buffalo is right there with them and that these playoff games could easily be going either way They needed this one badly for playoff positioning, the game last year was their last hurdle for a perfect regular season, and the season before that they had a really good shot to eliminate a team that plays them pretty tough from playoff contention. Absolutely no shot they held back in any of those games. if you swapped Elam in for benford like what happened in the playoffs the chiefs probably win this regular season game. The playoff games really aren’t all that different stylistically. The year they whooped us in the playoffs they whooped us in the regular season, the years the regular season games are extremely close and hinge on the outcome of 1-2 plays, the playoffs go the same way

He’s definitely a bit raw still…seems a little odd for a midseason rental. Seahawks were in better shape to do that with him having history with their OC i think if he had a full year learning the system he could be a difference maker but that wasn’t really the situation if he wasn’t a bad run blocker I think the bills might’ve rolled the dice on him hoping he picked some things up fast enough could end up being a good player for sure I just don’t think he’s at the wr iq level to pick up a new offense in a half season yet
