laughedatbytime Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Looking to become just the second team in NFL history to make the playoffs after a 1-5 start, theChiefs are postseason-bound after knocking off the Browns just as the Ravens put Pittsburgh away in Baltimore. It was no easy victory, but Kansas City's ninth straight win assures them a wild-card berth. That might not be all, as the Chiefs can also win the AFC West if Denver loses one their final two games and Kansas City beats the Raiders next Sunday. http://www.nfl.com/n...m-playoff-berth :dweez: The irony is that the Chiefs have clinched a playoff berth but the Broncos haven't, even though they're still in first place. I don't remember ever having seen that before. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, after a few seconds of looking over conference and tie-breakers, I figured out why, but it is definitely an odd little wrinkle....

Gotta like the Broncos tonight. I would say Cincy's motivation is very high to get the #2 seed. They want the bye to give Dalton that much more time to heal without having to risk playing/losing a WC game. Denver's motivation, on the other hand, is staying alive... as well as maybe getting Manning back for a playoff run. I don't see either team mailing it in....

WorkingAllTheTime Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 (edited) Oh, and thank you, New England for completely blowing my prediction of the Jets folding before the post-season. What an interesting final few weeks. Last week, Pitt was in the cat-bird seat and the Jets were setting tee times. Today, the roles are seemingly reversed. Of course, here's the really fascinating thing..... Let's say Denver loses tonight and next week.... while KC, Pitt, and the Jets all win next week... you end up with: AFC West KC 11-5Den 10-6 Wild Card NYJ 11-5Pitt 10-6Den 10-6 and out of the playoffs because Pitt has the head-to-head victory Oh, but it gets better..... let's say same scenario, but the Jets lose..... Wild Card NYJ 10-6Pitt 10-6Den 10-6 and out of the playoffs, again, because Pitt has the head-to-head, but also because the Jets are 7-5 in conference while Den is 6-6 Denver is the worst positioned first place team I can ever think of....

WorkingAllTheTime Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 (edited) The Chiefs run from the 5 seed remains a distinct possibility. HoustonNew Englandwinner of Cin/Den I am still not buying it. With Denver snatching victory for the jaws of defeat tonight, they should win the division (I mean, really, the Bolts are gonna do anything this Sunday?) and KC will have to play the role of road dog all the way throughout. And, really, we are talking about my beloved Chiefs. They are indeed my beloved, but that does not mean I do not understand them. The Chiefs are kind of like that quirky, socially awkward cousin who makes you bristle every time you see him, but you still love him, nonetheless. (By the way, if anyone reading this doesn't have that cousin in their family, it's probably you - you Rush loving geek!) And while you love that cousin, you also know he is going to hit his level. The Chiefs' level is the WC. They are the captains of Week 18.... or should I say weak in 18.

If there was ever a set up for the typical Chiefs el-foldo-taco, it is this game. Favored by odds makers... 10 game win streak.... mediocre opponent in the first round... no real disadvantage with the crowd on the road....
