reidaj1812 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 If it goes like this and we are 6th seed chargers/KC will be 1st or 5th --Texans will be 3rd and Pats 2nd. let's say that KC is 1st seed--NE 2nd seed---Texans 3rd seed-- Ravens 4th seed --ok we would play the Texans in wildcard game Chargers play Ravens ----Colts and Chargers Win --Chargers play Pats---We play KC we have had good luck with kc in the playoffs and I think the chargers will beat the pats-- that would make the AFC playoff game in warm climate and I would like our changes thoughts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 2006Coltsbestever Posted December 12, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2018 I kind of want the Patriots in NE just to see where we really stand at that point if we get in. Plus if we could knock them off, this season would be a grade of 'A' no matter what happens after that. Imagine us knocking them out after what McDaniels did. Luck has never beaten them either, that would be sweet. Just the history between the 2 teams would have a bunch of great story lines and hype as well. 10 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caffrey Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I was thinking the same thing, we have to beat Dallas first and finish off the NY Giants and Tenn. We have proved we can beat Houston in Houston, not saying it will be easy but more than just possible. Anticipate we would have Ryan Kelly and Mo-Allie back as well. Watson may 1st playoff game jitters too. Like you said, we have been KC's playoff nemesis. Anything is possible, can envision it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernBlue Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 If we get into the playoffs I don't really care who we play, since it's been a while. I'd just like to see some January football That being said, I'd like our chances against Houston either home or away. I think if we somehow steal the south, we'd have a better shot against a Pittsburgh or Baltimore at home, but if we end going to Baltimore or Pittsburgh, I don't think we'd win. KC or LAC I feel is an L. And NE should be an L too. But if we play them, we're gonna win. Just watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone remember just a couple weeks ago we were all “rah rah rah we’re going to trounce the Jags 35-4”? What happened? We came out and got hit in the mouth. We got a lot of lucky breaks that it didn’t leave us worse off than it did. People get carried away and let their dreams start dreaming them. The task of winning the next game is vexing enough that playing future builder in this situation is pointless. One loss wrecks the whole thing.

SolidGold Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Whichever route avoids the cold weather... But then again I wouldn't mind our rookies pulling off that cold victory in Gillette Stadium. Only seems right for AV to finish them off. I want Luck to be the last QB Brady looks in the eyes and says " Great game and good luck the rest of the way through the playoffs" Andrew in his comeback season giving him his last L before retirement. ☆☆☆☆ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trace Pyott Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I dunno about playing the Texans again. It’s hard to beat a decent team twice in one season, 3 times is really tough. You can only flip a coin so many times before you land on heads. I kinda feel the same about KC. They are gonna beat us in the playoffs one of these years and the same can be said about luck never beating NE, It may be our time finally.

Titans I think we'll win that one again, they've lost even more pieces to their O line. I think we'll be fine against the Giants also. It's this Cowboy game that has me worried because they are right in the thick of things also and have a lot to play for. Plus they have talent on both sides of the football and linebackers that can run with our tight ends. This is the type of game I could see us losing if we are not careful.
