Chiefs 5 games out: Direckshun's Projeckshuns - Page 5

Direckshun · 11-24-2014, 10:31 AM

How I project the rest of the season working out:

1. Pats, Donks, Colts get slots 1-3, in order.

2. Here's how the top wild card contenders fare:

Dolphins (6-5):

@ Jets W
vs. Baltimore W
@ NE L
vs. Vikings W
vs. Jets W

Dolphins end up 10-6.

Browns (7-4):

@ Bills W
vs. Colts L
vs. Bengals W
@ Panthers W
@ Ravens L

Browns end up 10-6.

Steelers (7-4):

vs. Saints W
@ Cincy L
@ Falcons W
vs. Chiefs W
vs. Bengals W

Steelers end up 11-5.

Ravens (6-4):

@ Saints [tonight] W
vs. Chargers W
@ Dolphins L
vs. Jags W
@ Texans W
vs. Browns W

Ravens end up 11-5.

Bengals (7-3-1):

@ Bucs W
vs. Steelers W
@ Browns L
vs. Broncos L
@ Steelers L

Bengals end up 9-6-1.

Chiefs (7-4):

vs. Broncos L
@ Arizona W
vs. Oakland W
@ Steelers L
vs. Chargers W

Chiefs end up 10-6.

Chargers (7-4):

@ Ravens L
vs. Patriots L
vs. Broncos L
@ 49ers L
@ Chiefs L

Chargers end up 7-9.

3. Steelers get the tiebreaker over the Ravens (projected 3-3 divisional record to Baltimore's projected 2-4) and take the #4 slot. Ravens take #5 and will visit Pittsburgh.

4. As for the remaining three 10-6 teams vying for the #6 slot:

Dolphins 10-6
Browns 10-6
Chiefs 10-6

Oddly enough, the fact that the Chiefs beat the Dolphins (and that the Dolphins beat the Browns) doesn't matter. The only time head-to-head counts when it's a three way tie is if the team in question has beaten (or lost to) each of the other team. But the Chiefs and Browns didn't play, and the Dolphins went 1-1.

The next tie-breaker is AFC conference record:

Dolphins: 8-4
Chiefs: 7-5
Browns: 6-6

The Dolphins get the #6 slot and will visit Indy.

The Chiefs and Browns miss the playoffs.

I am not terrified of any team. We can beat anyone when we are playing well.

It was a shit loss on the road on Thursday against a team due for a win.

I predict they start rolling again.

I'd be more concerned if Carson Palmer was at QB. 3 points yesterday and 14 the week before isn't exactly a juggernaut of an offense.

If you're concerned about Arizona, how "terrified" are you of the Broncos?

The Chiefs played well in the second half and had they played half that well in the first half, they'd have won.

It's rare that teams go 0-16. Even the Jags won 4 last year and Raiders are a better team, IMO.

At least they have a QB.

**Rausch** · 11-24-2014, 02:10 PM

Losing vs $3it teams like the Titans and Raiders really hurt our tie breaker status...

You telling me that his tendency to take JC out of the game plan inside the 5 yard line time after time is "learning from his mistakes?"

Reid has his pros as well as his cons...

And Belichick and Brady were "done" after the shellacking in KC.

Teams lose games. Teams are sometimes "flat". I have no doubt the Chiefs will be prepared over the course of the next five games. Reid & Co aren't Herm or Crennel or Haley or Gunther.

Good teams have stinkers.

Shit, look at Pittsburgh. They lost to Tampa and the Jets, and struggled with Jacksonville and Tennessee.

I don't normally get caught up in this BS because shit happens so regularly in the NFL. Injuries, stupid ****ing 3 day turnaround games, drug suspensions etc.
your scenario is palpable but there's just so many what ifs.
The team that lost last Thursday is not the same one that clicked off 5 in a row.

I see KC only losing against Arizona and maybe Pitt. They'll be rested and ready Sunday night.
The Browns will melt down because Cleveland.
The phins will do the same...
All the WC teams are really closely matched though.

I call bullshit - you are wrong.

**Buck** · 11-24-2014, 03:01 PM

Just fyi, this will be the thread I bump when we make the playoffs with an 11-5 or better record.

**The Franchise** · 11-24-2014, 03:03 PM

I don't see us losing to Arizona.

I think you're correct BUT the roll starts after the Donx game. I think KC slips to 7-5 (Many of us would have taken that at this point before the season) then wins 3 of 4 to finish 10-6.

carlos3652 · 11-24-2014, 03:09 PM

Laughable that you will have the Bengals at 9-3-1 losing out and missing the payoffs considering they would have been 7-1 in their last 8 games and losing on a Thursday night game which we know anyone can lose on short preperation.

This is a very realistic scenerio. KC fugged themselves playing down to a pos Titans team and a super pos Raiders team. We should have won those games and had 9 wins right now. We needed that Raiders game bad.
