dave mcbride Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) Brutal for every one of them: Cleveland: GB, Pitt, Bengals Pittsburgh: KC, Cleveland, Baltimore Baltimore: Cincy, LA Rams, Pitt Cincinnati: Baltimore, KC, Cleveland the non-divisional games for all of them involve either KC, the Rams, or GB. It’s very hard to see how the Bills don’t make the playoffs with a 10-7 record (assuming for a second a loss to NE).

SoCal Deek Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I’d normally assume someone’s going to go on a run to close out the final month but I’m not so sure this year. It’s pretty much been a mess week after week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What a Tuel Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Why are we assuming a loss against the Patriots? Now this sounds like drought talk. We control our own destiny to win the division. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg S Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Steelers probably lose to the Chiefs. The Browns probably lose to the Packers. A good chance the Ravens lose to the Rams and the Bengals lose to the Chiefs. Then all the teams still have to play each other. I would say 10-7 probably gets them in but right now I want the AFCE and an 11-6 record. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRebound Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) Since they all play each other twice, that’s 4 more losses right there. And in their 4 non-divisionals against KC twice, the Rams, Green Bay, that’s at a minimum 2 more losses, most likely 3, and very possibly 4. If I had to bet, I’d say Cincy 1 more loss, and the others 2 more losses each. Edited December 20, 2021 by BuffaloRebound 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPL Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 If Vegas can beat Cleveland tonight we'll be in good shape. Otherwise we'll be officially out of the #7 seed and "in the hunt" this week. It still a high likelihood we get in either way, though. Beat New England this week and we've got a good shot at the #3 seed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez. I get it, phrasing just sounds as though you are projecting a loss so that we can sneak into the playoffs as we've done in the 20 years prior to the pre mcdermott era.

They should have lost to the Bears and barely beat the Ravens, Seattle, and TN. Regarding the Vikings, I think they're a slightly better team the Pitt, and especially at home. And while the Lions aren't good, they have literally lost 5 games by two points or less. They're not the worst team in the league by a long stretch. The Jets, Houston, and Jax are all worse, and I'd pick the Lions to beat the Giants and Carolina if they faced off now. The Steelers are what their record says they are.
