Football Week 13 Rooting Guide (and now "other games thread") - Page 17

**DaFace** · 12:27 PM

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.

Dumb play by Jones.

They both had hands on each other. Would have been a good no-call.

Floyd you could say was going for the ball. The CB was going at Floyd all the way. Didn't even know where teh ball was.

The defender knocked the ball down with his head turned toward the ball

Exactly

WTFlacco?

Levine's right arm and hand were holding on the shoulder pad of the receiver in the end zone preventing him from jumping for the ball. Good call but a tough call

The block from Allen on Levine. Allen initiated that block before Royal caught the ball. It's the penalty that the refs called on the Broncos when they were playing the Dolphins last week. WR Thomas initiated his block before TE Tamme caught the ball and they called back the TD on the play. Just pointing it because so many people on CP love to cry about how Bronco games are called.

Wow. Nice throw and catch in the Ravens game but it's over. He couldn't get out of bounds.

Rams Fan · 11-30-2014, 03:25 PM

That Phillip Rivers look too.

We play the Chargers again. I accept this win.
