This is incorrect. H2H is the first tiebreaker in a 3-way tie.

Nah...McCarran is going to be a stud qb.

Same here. Cheers, mate.

King......You're humble, and you like LSU fans. You are a one of a kind, and I got your back anyday, plus my sons' do as well.

King, I want your OL.

Yeah...I think McCarron is going to do great in the NFL.

The game was a swirling tossup of talent. I honestly think it came down to lucky bounces. We simply got more at the end.

If that coin toss goes your way, I bet you guys score a TD. It was that kind of game.

Yes, it does. Here are the tiebreaking procedures. Look under wildcard, that is used for homefield as well. Step one is eliminate teams in the same division as others. Doesn't apply here. Step 2 is H2H sweep, which we have. Step 3 is conference record.

You know what's funny? They got spanked by the Niners. You know what else is funny? Even though they are a bit of a feast or famine group, they grade out well because more often than not they play well. They both me a lot, but having spent time watching the offensive lines of other teams, I'm going to keep my mouth shut.

You might have a shot at our tackles. Whitworth might be a cap casualty and Andre Smith is probably done in Cincinnati.

He's going to have to get humble. But for a fifth rounder, he looks fine.

But thank you for your thoughts.

He actually shocked me with how well he played. The stage wasn't too big for him, of course the offensive line helped a lot, but he looks like a legit nfl qb.

Even if two of the teams haven't played each other? I was basing this in ESPN's Playoff Machine which could be wrong. Pro Football Talk says if the Pats lose and we win we get home field.

This is straight from NFL.com:

"2. Head-to-head sweep. (Applicable only if one club has defeated each of the others or if one club has lost to each of the others.)"

Based on this wording, it's applicable since Denver defeated each of the others. It doesn't mention them all 3 having had to play each other. What difference would that make anyway assuming one team swept the other 2?

Yeah.. I think he's going to be a career back-up...BUT.. I think he's going to be a very solid back up. A guy that you can rely on when your starter goes down for any time at all. He can take the reigns for 8 games, or 2 and he'll be the guy that doesn't "normally" lose the game for you. He may not WIN it, but he won't lose it. The perfect Back-up type of guy.

I honestly think if Dalton played it would be 31 - 10 Broncos.

Not joking.
