This game should have never gotten that close. Gus gotta go.

But, isn't it the best thing that could've happened to ensure that Gus is gone?

Drake Maye and the Patriots are on the road in Buffalo ...... and they lead the Bills by a score of 14-0 in the 2nd quarter.

Exactly, yeah let's stop doing what's working and let the Tits have a chance. He's an idiot.

What am I missing?

I keep hearing that the Chargers HAVE to lose out for us to have a shot.

But according to the playoff machine, DEN could lose to CIN and KC (reasonable) and if CIN beats PIT in the last game, we'd win a three-way tiebreaker over CIN and DEN.

So two paths?

I suppose so, and good research on your part.

Even though the Broncos beat the Colts head-on, sometimes a 3-way tie throws a monkey-wrench into that seemingly insurmountable obstacle (a head-on loss.)

I just did the New York Times playoff machine ...... the Colts also get in with a 4-way tie with the Broncos, the Chargers, and the Bengals.

So really, besides our own games, the following are huge...

TODAY

BUF @ NE (we want BUF to come back and beat NE)




Week 17

LAC @ NE (possible with a cross-country, freezing ass cold game)

DEN @ CIN (probably more important, because LAC inconsequential to us if CIN wins out)

KC @ PIT (KC loss could come into play, see below)

NYJ @ BUF (BUF win could come into play, see below)


Week 18

LAC @ LV (can't see them losing, but also doesn't matter if they beat NE or if CIN wins out)

BUF @ NE (BUF winning out would mean KC is still playing for the #1 seed)

KC @ DEN (KC loss drops them to #2 seed, increases chances that DEN finishes 9-8)

Yeah, if DEN and LAC both lose out, we're somehow the #6 seed. Least likely scenario obviously.

No, No and fuck NO! The Colts making the playoffs will somehow validate keeping losers. Who wants that?
