Road to the #1 seed

[Be Weary of Query]

It's still in play. Albeit a long shot, it's still in play. If the Bengals, Broncos, Chiefs and Patriots all end the season at 12-4...the Bengals are the #1 seed.

One such scenario:

Bengals win out

Broncos lose 2 of their last 3 (vs. Chargers, at Houston, at Oakland)

Chiefs lose 1 of their last 3 (at Oakland, vs. Indy, at San Diego)

Patriots lose 1 of their last 3 (at Miami, at Baltimore, vs. Buffalo)

I know...I know...extreme long shot but if Broncos lose tonight, things will tighten up.

They can still get the #1 seed by finishing 11-5 but it's a little more convoluted. Link below for that.

the 2 is realistic...I'd say 'it's in our hands'

just no hiccups

 

[DanBengalfan]

The broncos are going to score 50 points. next?

 

[DanBengalfan]

we need to win at least one game, pretty much, to be in. That's hard enough for this team.

Exactly. You can't control who does what outside of the game you are playing.

Focus on Pitt...win there, on the road.

The rest will take care of itself.

It's not really in our hands considering we need to win one more game than the Patriots over the next three weeks.

 

[jwil007]

Dolphins are going to smack the Patriots in MIami...NE will then lose in Bmore...They are dropping 2 more...We need to win against Pitt and the 2 seed is ours...

 

[The Duke]

Denver is going to spank all three of those teams. All we need is NE to trip up and then just win baby.

 

[Cincyfan78]

Baltimore is going to lose at Detroit.

NE's best bet (for us) is to lose against Miami

NE will beat Baltimore

Baltimore will be knocked out, all the while Cincy will gain the #2 seed.

But again...just win...just win and control what you can control and take that.

My hope....

Baltimore loses to DET, beats NE, loses to CIN | Baltimore Record: 8-8

Miami wins out | Miami Record: 10-6

Cincinnati wins out | Cincinnati Record: 12-4

New England loses to MIA, loses to BALT, beats the Jets | New England Record: 11-5

Kansas City losses last 3 | KC Record: 10-6

#1 Denver
#2 Cincinnati
#3 New England
#4 Indianapolis
#5 Miami
#6 Kansas City

We face Miami in the divisional round at home to exact our revenge...mwahh mwahhahahhaha

How is New England going to lose two games in a row to teams that aren't better than they are?

Brady and Belicheck have been SHOWING YOU for over a decade.

So KC is going to somehow lose all three games and then miraculously get their shit together and win a round 1 game in NE?

Bengals #1 seed?

NE losing 2 in a row?

KC losing out?

Was today Purple Drank day on the SportsHoopla and I wasn't invited?

Shit was cray cray up in here

 

[bengaldoug]

You guys with all your master plans......we just have to keep winning and things will turn out fine.......

 

[Cincyfan78]

Exactly, doug...

Just win, the rest of the chips are going to fall where they will regardless...so, just take care of business starting in Pitt.

 

[futballiscool]

Denver's complying so far...

win or lose, they look vulnerable.

Welker's a big loss, but that doesn't explain a performance like this one

the AFC is wide open

 

[Be Weary of Query]

Down goes Denver.

That's one.

I was just telling you what I would like to see, not what is going to happen. Gracious.

Reality.

Lose @ Pitt, beat Minn. Lose to Baltimore.
