You guys just need the last 2 and your in.

Pretty much. We just need the Bengals to lose at KC, that would do it.

I think there’s no way my boys can get in. Too late.

Unpopular opinion:

 

I think all teams should have an extra bye week for Christmas. Then return to play on New Years. 
 

Also, I’m having a difficult time seeing how we can matchup well against the Raiders who have Crosby, Adams and Jacobs… 

Coaching matters.  They have an interim coach.  I would take Steichen over whoever their coach is.

So Bills were really the only AFC WC Team that had a good week lol.

Not really.  They were double digit road favorites and almost blew it.  The did not play well.  Very fortunate.

 You are right.  That is an unpopular opinion.  No games during Christmas week.  HARD PASS

[teganslaw]

Do we need a Raiders' loss today? The AFC playoff picture is confusing right now. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

With there being 17 games now I think not having games and giving teams a bye week would be nice. NFL would never do it because there holiday games are ratings getters.

[King Colt]

Explain the Jags collapse.......anyone? The Titans stunk all season. The Colts are Jekyll & Hyde playing yo-yo football and the Texans are mirroring the Colts. woulda-coulda but didn't.

Actually yes. Because if raiders win today suddenly next week raiders could have the same record if they win.

Just my opinion but they needed to sit Lawrence a couple games when injuries started to pile up. Kirk got hurt. Zay jones has been injured. Ridley is not who they thought they were getting. Oline is bad. They can’t run the ball. I won’t be surprised if Lawrence does not play this next game.

 

Colts are just a by product of having a backup QB and some injuries for why they are up and down. Plus they are young like the Texans.

Nearly all players seem to dislike the extra week of games. 
 

From a personal standpoint, most of my family doesn’t watch games during the holidays. Too much going on to sit and watch.

If they can make another dollar, they will.  I don't see fewer games at Christmas.  Instead, they'll probably play one in Finland that comes on at 8:00 AM - watch football while you open your presents.  Reindeer herd on the sideline.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Aiden O’Connell looks like a seasoned vet in this game so far. Colts won’t have an easy time.

They would be the only team I would worry about at 9-8 tie breaker.

 

They definitely need to lose

Need KC to handle our business the next 7 days.

With how bad chiefs offense looks don’t be surprised if Bengals beat them on Sunday.

Chiefs always look like this to start the game against the Raiders.

 

Think they were down 17-0 earlier in the year to them.

 

 

Edit: it was 14-0

Losing Bieniemy and giving control to Nagy hasn't paid off.

 

Some bad WR play as well, I blame them though for continuing to roster, well Toney. He has probably cost them 2 games himself.

i know trevor is hurt but he is not living up to the hype the media put on him, when stroud comes back the texans will be the best in our division imo

If the Colts make the playoffs other than the Browns Chiefs would be my second pick to play in the first round.

I'm still planning on hosting a wild card team.

 

Guess that keeps the Browns in play, unless they can pull out the North, which is still possible and even plausible.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Josh Jacobs isn’t playing today. Seems he was close so he might play Sunday.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Chiefs just fumbled and raiders got a TD taking back the lead. lol

Wow chiefs are not that good this year. 
 

 

Fans don’t take this raiders team lightly.

[teganslaw]

I'm not looking forward the Raiders next week. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I will say it again Bengals might have a very good chance to win against chiefs Sunday.

imo gus will see his failures and start some different looks against the raiders on defense. shane will plan a different attack plan to beat the raiders d. this game is where our coaches will come into play and be a factor in the outcome even if the raiders have better talent.

It’s week 17 I don’t think we are going to see any major changes.

Cheifs missed a FG lol. They need half time.

[Old Man and the COLTS]

It’s obvious the Chiefs must be overlooking the Raiders lol

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

That number 3 seed is still in play if chiefs lose this. . 3rd and 4th seed might both be in play.

Colts  pass rush has been pretty good this year. The problem is it’s been inconsistent and for some reason keeps going back to his stubborn ways.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Raiders playing like the 1983 Raiders today .  Hopefully they get it out of their system.

Yeah, that is not how it works though unfortunately. Doesn’t look good for Colts’ chances, do it?

Yeah after seeing colts get punched in the mouth by falcons it won’t be good if they don’t match their intensity.

To be fair raiders haven’t done anything on offense. 14 points because of chiefs turnovers. Their defense is playing lights out.

I have noticed a trend all season with Teams. One week they play good, then the next, they play bad. It is just something that is going on. That is why I don't let 1 game sway my views. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Mahomes looks tired and exhausted. This might not bode well for the bengals Sunday.
