Wouldn’t it be funny if we were the only team to go to the playoffs from the AFC North after being the only team to not go last year?


Frankly the AFC North really isn’t that good this year.  Pittsburgh has no QB.  Baltimore has shitty/injured WRs, RBs, & DBs.  Plus Jackson is all banged up at the end of the season again.   The Browns also have no QB. 
 

The Bengals are the class of the division quite easily after a few fits and stops to start the season.

So y'all know:

 

11-5 TEN
11-5 KCC
10-6 CIN
10-6 BUF/NEP

 

If we win and TEN and KCC lose, the three-way tie at 11-6 goes to US.
1) KCC is eliminated based on being swept by TEN/CIN
2) We did not play TEN
3) We are both 4-2 against common opponents (JAX NYJ PIT SFF KCC)
4) We have a superior conference record (8-3 v 7-4) which only gets better with us winning (v CFT) and TEN losing (v JAX)

 

BUF has the tiebreaker over NEP.  If they win they are Division champs at 11-6 and it's a 4 way tie.  But we are still #1 based on Conference Record.

 

If BUF loses and NEP wins, they are #1 and we're #2.  If they both lose, were back to the 3-way tiebreak that we win 

 

So we can become the #1 seed with:
CIN beats CFT + DEN beats KCC + HOU beats TEN + at least one of these: BUF beats NYJ or MIA beats NEP.

 

Will DEN and HOU win?  Hell no.  But its cool that we at least have a shot, eh?

Didn't have a clue NE had a chance the #1 seed. I hope the DBags up here don't hear that!!!
