the news is that they clinched a spot last week. I noticed that the news wasn't posted, by accident, so I have put it on here in this thread

Washington had a great weekend. Of course they won and clinched the 4 seed, but the fact that they may not have to play Seattle in the WC round after it looked like Seattle all but locked up the 5 seed is great news. I'd much rather play Minnesota or Green Bay at home instead of Seattle.

I think it's really cool how the NFL is proactively adjusting the schedule to keep certain teams motivated to play these last 2 weeks. Feel like they didn't do this as much in the past

I just looked it up and here's what needs to happen for the Colts to steal the AFC South. Broncos beat the Bengals Colts beat the Titans Steelers beat the Browns Broncos beat the Chargers Falcons beat the Saints Bills beat the Jets Jaguars beat the Texans Dolphins beat the Patriots Ravens beat the Bengals Raiders beat the Chiefs That scenario would give Indy the strength of schedule tiebreaker over Houston. No problem, right?

I vaguely remember some team a few years back being in a similar situation where they needed like 5 things to break for them and it all happened except they lost their game. I can't remember who it was

Yeah but you won that game...oh, nice of you to give the Chiefs the win they deserved because--I don't remember what happened, was San Diego offside on a last second field goal KC missed or something? I remember there was some reason the Chargers supposedly should have lost.

I remember there was some reason the Chargers supposedly should have lost. San Diego had one side of the line overloaded and KC missed like a 30 yard field goal for the win, and it wasn't called. It kept Pittsburgh out of the playoffs that year.

Also when we played @ Minnesota, the hawks destroyed them in all phases of the game thanks largely to all their injuries. My gut is always like "lol obviously we wanna play versus redskins rather than packers" but it's getting weird. I wasn't following SA:TFF closely over the holidays, but there was something about WR's yelling at Rodgers or something?

So it looks like the only things that aren't set are: AFC -Who gets a bye? (Cincy/Denver) -AFC South Winner (Ind/Tex) -AFC West Winner (Den/KC) -AFC WC #6 (NYJ, Pitt, Den/KC) NFC -#1 Seed (AZ/Car) -NFC North Winner (GB/Min) -WC Seeding (Sea, GB/Min) Honestly it seems a bit boring this year after the craziness in the past years.

No Butt Stuff posted:AFC #5 Seed could also be the Jets/Den/KC/Pitt Ah thanks, forgot about that. So I guess the AFC WC race is probably the most exciting thing? It's the only spot where a team could miss the playoffs, as the Colts need a minor miracle to make the playoffs so I've pretty much written them off.

Jets could miss the playoffs or play anyone from HOU, DEN, KC, and CIN depending on seed. If they win, they will either play HOU or CIN though.

Don't think Pit can get 5, they are too far behind Denver and they lost the H2H to K.C so the only team they can pass is the Jets to sneak into the 6th spot. I'm doing this in my head while on the way to another family shindig so I may be incorrect on the tie-breakers.

KC and NYJ playing on WC weekend is nearly impossible unless a ton of crazy stuff happens, I think. Which is good, because I'd rather play Houston or Denver, Fitzpatrick destroyed the Chiefs on those Chan Gailey Bills squads so no thanks to playing the improved version on a much better roster

No Butt Stuff posted:Pitt can get 5 if KC gets #3. I'm not seeing how. Four teams can earn wild cards: Den, K.C., NYJ, and Pit. Pit cannot match Den in wins overall, so Den is ahead of them for sure. In a H2H tie with K.C then Pit is behind them as well. Pit would pass the NYJ though if they were tied, and get #6. Pit could have earned #5 had Denver lost to Cincy or had Pit defeated Balt, but both of those put Pit on the outside at #7 with a best-case of finishing #6.

I feel like there's a really good chance Pitt is gonna finish 10-6 and out of the playoffs, which would be the second year in a row a PA team goes 10-6 and misses the playoffs after losing a game they should've won in Week 16.
