KCSLC2008 606 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 The Playoff Machine is finally out. Pretty fun to play with. We haven't cliched yet, but it's good to not have to think about wild scenarios to get a wildcard like last year. http://espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs/machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eraser 722 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I tried to be as objective, and reasonable as possible. The Chiefs got a first round bye. How did that happen? AFC Bye 1st Seed Cincinnati 14 - 2 2nd Seed Kansas City 11 - 5 Wildcard 6th Seed Denver 11-5 @ 3rd Seed New England 11-5 5th Seed New York Jets 11-5 @ 4th Seed Houston 10-6 NFC Bye 1st Seed Arizona 14-2 2nd Seed Carolina 14-2 Wildcard 6th Seed Minnesota 10-6 @ 3rd Seed Green Bay 10-6 5th Seed Seattle 10-6 @ 4th Seed Washington 8-8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlord 10,209 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 No way do Denver and NE each lose three more games. I think the Chiefs finish #5 and play at Indy or Houston. Also doubt the Jets win out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also doubt the Jets win out. 2 could be possible. They still have the Bengals and Steelers (Bengals need to stop playing like shit in primetime though). Would need another AFC West team to knock them off...not likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMO 6,811 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 The NFC East is so bad that a 9-10 loss team could possibly win that division. One scenario I ran had Philly winning it at 6-10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefensiveMan 758 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 KC @ Houston. I think Indi will tank it. Denver, might lose one game either to Oakland or @ Pitt and they'll still be #1 seed with tiebreaker over NE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liquidfriend 1,151 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 The Bengals were a long time dysfunctional organization. Hell, they didn't even have a scouting department until Marvin Lewis convinced Mike Brown to get one. I think the Bengals might snap the playoff drought finally this year and they are primed for long time success. They are now the type of drafters that Ozzie Newsome wishes he still were/ This might be the year that the Chiefs finally snap the streak, too.

Chiefsfan1963 1,101 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I think Denver will be tough to beat. They may lose 1 or 2. They are no joke. Almost as good as we are.Denver is still 1 dimensional. They have no running game and their passing game is inconsistent. With the exception of the first KC game they haven't scored over 30 points in a game. They struggled against SD, easily one of the worst teams out there. They rely on their D to win. The Chiefs have dominated and won games on both sides of the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, the team that Marvin might get the one he's due could be against KC. The eventual seeding will make the AFC race super interesting.

Calichief 3,016 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I'll take Houston or Indi over Cinci anyday. I'd rather have NE than Cinci. Cincy is the best overall team in the nfl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this pace, the Bengals will be a 1/2 seed and have a bye. We could get the monkey off our backs in Indy and possibly run into a Cincinnati buzzsaw the following week. This is why the seeding position will be hugely relevant. Will shake the dynamics up a lot with any sort of a shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will shake the dynamics up a lot with any sort of a shift. That is exactly why I do not want to face Cinci until the AFC Championship game. I have them losing @ Denver in Week 16 slotting them in the 3rd seed. I could be wrong though. AFC Championship game?! Am I dreaming...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefensiveMan 758 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Pittsburgh, could very well lose @ Cinci this week. They could meet in the WC game however and Pittsburgh could win. The NFL is crazy like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlord 10,209 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 There's no realistic way that it finishes any way except CIN, DEN, and NE win their divisions and are seeded 1,2, and 3 although the order is anyone's guess. That leaves IND and HOU as the fourth seed with the other hoping for a wildcard. Unless the Chiefs lose two games, which I don't think will happen, they will be either fifth or sixth. Big difference. Playing at Indy hasn't had a good history but this year is different and even Houston is very beatable if the Chiefs are healthy. No way would I bet on the Chiefs winning against the top three. Could happen, but much less likely than playing the Texans or Colts. I think all the 7-5 teams except the Chiefs will lose at least one more game and could lose two. Gotta win in BAL and all will be well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidfriend 1,151 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 It really depends on New England, honestly. After their loss to the Eagles, it seems like they are just too depleted right now on the roster front. They still got 2 tough games left at Houston and at the Jets, so 12-4 could be very realistic for them. Maybe less....if they keep losing like that. The Eagles are shit. I see 2 more losses tops on the Bengals schedule. If they both end up 12-4, the Bengals will go over NE due to tiebreaker. E: Schuab is a pick 6 machine and will gift KC generously.

jetlord 10,209 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Schaub got his bell rung on Sunday but probably will be back. How would the Chiefs do against Jimmy Clausen? Oh, well, time to think about that after the Chiefs beat down the Chargers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chiefs have dominated and won games on both sides of the ball. They did not try to do much against San Diego. Chargers were done early and Den simply ran out the clock starting in the second half. Chargers already thinking LA. Broncos played it very safe.
