I could see us losing to Cleveland to be honest. They are playing very well right now. If they had a different coach all season they are probably a playoff team.
Then my friend, I spend several days laughing my ass off. Our resident chargers troll over on the official forums is making a big deal about the predictions we have made that are wrong. One of them is that we will finish with a better record than the chargers (this was made at the beginning of the year) I don't think it has sunk in for him yet that his team has the Steelers, Chiefs, Ravens and bengals (and us) left on their schedule. They could very easily win 1-2 of those games and lose the rest and finish with a worse record than us. It will be poetic justice if that happens.
Wow didn't realize that Chargers schedule draws out like that. Almost the opposite of ours where everything before the BYE was a nightmare. Steelers will be pissed and maybe beat them handily, Chiefs will eat up their secondary, Ravens and Bengals... who knows. I'd love a final showdown at Mile High for the season if it played out like that!
The chargers folding is probably our best path into the playoffs honestly. The colts are on fire and probably getting in, and we lose a tiebreaker to the Ravens. So we need the chargers to lose a couple and either the Ravens or colts to fade down the stretch to get in. If SD gets in, our path to the 6 seed is tough.
I've been running the different scenarios. If we share the same record with the colts, we're in. We need them to drop a game against either the Texans, Jags or Titans. All the games are division games and are all wildcards.
The Ravens hold a tie breaker over us. IMO they could be our biggest threat. In order for us to get even with the Chargers and take their spot, they need to lose to us, the steelers and chiefs. 3 losses brings us even at 10-6.
The biggest key, we have to win out. Period. Any loss from this point on will all but eliminate us.
As of right now, we win out, we only need the colts to lose one and for the chargers/chiefs to beat the ravens. or the colts or ravens to lose and the chargers to lose 3.
The second scenario isn't a difficult one since the Chargers have Pitts this week fresh off a stinging loss and no melvin gordon.
