KC’s defense looked poor again yesterday. They are no lock to escape WC week without their usual bye. What if they get the Chargers again? They could easily be outscored in that type of game. 

I like the kc matchup for us and an easier matchup in week 1 much more than the alternative but I’m getting a lot of negative reactions when I post stuff like that 🤣

The instant gratification crowd is pretty sad.

I don't get it. We must be too far removed from a record breaking playoff drought. 

[Playoffs?]

I can’t believe that this crazy chargers-raiders tie scenario is a possibility now if the Ravens win!

[Lionel Hutz]

If the NFL was scripting this they couldn’t draw it up any better. Colts lose so the Ravens/Steelers game becomes meaningful and then goes to OT.

Personally for me, I'd rather have the Steelers win so that the Raiders/Chargers game has meaning for the Raiders. Given I'd rather play the Raiders in the first round, if the Steelers/Raiders win, we play Raiders. 

 

If the Ravens win, Raiders clinch playoffs and likely rest starters, meaning increased likelihood of Chargers win, and thus we play the Chargers next week. 

My same feel on bolded.

Baltimore should start calling time outs

[Vertig0]

Jags game being what it was, I still can't believe we lost to the Steelers. Watching Ben throw is painful.

The tie scenario is possible regardless of who wins the Ravens game.

[JoshAllin]

No teams should be punting here with ties eliminated

nvm converted

In the old days Ben would have ran it

[Nextmanup]

It would be weird if we end up with Chargers---didn't see that coming and I don't like the matchup only b/c they have a great QB who can win on his own.

 

Raiders/Patriots are much better opponents IMO.

just wild. I guess a Pitts win though makes it super interesting.  If the Raiders and Chargers both tie in that game they both get in.  Not sure I've ever seen this scenario before.

Oh Ray-Ray

 

Edit: meant to agree with Boco re the timeouts and then Ray Ray dropped that ball. Zero attention span, haha.

It looks like the Patriots game could determine whether or not we play the Pats or Chargers/Raiders. The Pats win, they play Cincy, they lose they play us. Anyone think they'd lose on purpose to play us instead of the Bengals (this is assuming the Bills are crushing the Jets)? I heard a lot of talking heads this week picking the Bengals to go to the SB, and even though we've won 3 of the last 4 against them, old Bill still thinks he owns us.

So if Ravens Steelers tie both get eliminated.  That means Colts are in so long as Chargers and Raiders don’t tie?

[Ethan in Cleveland]

Ugh poor Ray Ray with the big drop

[Max Fischer]

Colts are dying right now

[The Firebaugh Kid]

Is it against "policy" for LV and the Chargers to tie on purpose?
