So that means Broncos get a bye week and New England doesn't, right? Is it confirmed there's no way New England will get the bye? I don't care about the other teams, just tell me New England isn't getting a bye, lulz.

 New England the 3rd seed

No, I think NE is the '2' and Cincy is the '3'

I see now. Denver has to win to steal the bye from New England. New England currently has the best record at 12-4, but Denver has yet to play today, so if Denver wins and goes 12-4, they win the tie-breaker over New England with Denver having beaten New England earlier in the season.

I thought having the 1st seed meant having the bye. Then what constitutes being a top team, when both New England and Denver can end the season 12-4? Don't tell me it's something dumb, like fan voting, that plays into it.

1st overall seed just guarantees homefield throughout. no fan voting is involved, just tie breakers that can get pretty complicated if necessary

WC round is going to be great. Cincy really needed to see Denver lose to get the bye and Dalton back. I can't see them beating the Steelers with McCarron but their D is great so there is a chance. I think KC probably beats Houston but Houston is playing some great football right now too.

 

Divisional round will most likely be Denver/Pitt and NE/KC.

    • Some level of incompetence.
    • This team really isn't as bad as you think. Yes there's things that need to be cleaned up, but it's way too early  to assume what this team is yet. The dline is too talented to stay this bad against the run. It will get fixed. 
    • Not the same Josh Allen who's now the early odds on favorite to win league MVP this season. Seems like AR's stats are better six games in to start his career as compared to Allen at the same juncture. You can see AR's raw talent that's similar to Allen's who also shared the same narrative coming out about accuracy, touch etc BUT the difference is that the Bills were patient in his development and the overall team got better on a yearly basis.   AR basically missed his rookie season early last year so his growing pains will rear its head as he flashes both good and bad plays. The  receivers aren't making it any easier by having some untimely drive stalling drops so far. AR also doesn't have the luxury of an elite TE as a security blanket but the biggest problem is that most Colt fans are getting restless with the consistent ongoing non factor of the team seemingly on a yearly basis which hasn't been good enough to accomplish anything.   Last season created a false narrative that the team was better than they really were because they barely missed the playoffs after losing the last home game to a very young Texan team led by a rookie qb. So instead of upgrading the talent Ballard chose to run it all back with his mostly mediocre team that still has yet to see any type of sustained success even with the help of a nearly last place schedule a season ago.   Ballard's decision to bring back Gus as dc after finishing 28th in points allowed in back to back seasons is mind blowing! The defense is ranked nearly dead last in run defense and 3rd down efficiency so far this season yet the "great" EJ Speed is barking about the offense. Lol Now off to an 0-2 start the patience for AR's early growth will be slim but on the flip slide Ballard has been given an EIGHT yr pass (record wise) of subpar results.
    • Say what we will.  The only numeric of real meaning is 0-2.
