Week 13 Rooting Guide (and now "other games thread")
I had this brilliant idea to use cdcox's software to put together a guide for who we should be rooting for to best help the Chiefs chances of making the playoffs. I always like stuff like that because it helps to tease out some of the nuances that you probably wouldn't have guessed:
The main one that's interesting to me in that is the Chargers game. Who would have thought that it's actually in our best interests for the Chargers to win today? That's mainly because the Chargers have a BRUTAL schedule to end the season, so it's unlikely they're going to be a threat for the WC spot anyway, so it's better for them to win now and take the Ravens down a notch. (I should probably add that games not listed have essentially zero impact on our playoff chances.) I was very proud of the great insight I gleaned from this analysis. That is...until I ran it with the Chiefs/Broncos game in there: So basically, we can root for other teams all we want, but nothing matters NEAR as much as just taking care of our own business.

Even the juggernauts have bad games these days. Likely the result of less real practice time. Denver got waxed a couple times. New England has lost a couple games by double digits. The Colts laid a complete egg in Pittsburgh.

Thanks for this DaFace. I thought a Ravens loss when in our better interest but good to see the math proves it out.
Tip of the hat to CDCOX for the assist on this. And I vote keep this a weekly thread too... |

Gotcha. I guess no one's ever worn a cross necklace or hung a mini American flag in the office before. |

In Indy: Desean Jackson caught a pass and Mike Adams took him OOB. Standard stuff; they were just standing there after. But then a Redskin pushed Adams from behind, and he launched himself into Jackson's knees. Looked dirty, and I say that with regret because Adams is a U of Delaware guy.
