  • Holy shit guys. Chargers looked like us from a few years ago. They literally didn't want to win.

    Top Two WRs have some “injuries” coming in they play the first series and leave.   Joey Bosa MIA in the 4th. The kicker.  The dumb 4th Quarter calls.  The pick 6 not to be. The play calls in OT at the goalline.

    Without Carr. ?

    Although Mariota was amazing. Crappy goal line calls but still.

    Nobody had Mariotta in our FL but he did quite well for an off the bench player.

    No we don't. I'd much rather see Miami in the playoffs than the stinking Ratbirds. A Dolphin loss virtually guarantees Baltimore (with their cupcake last three games Jaguars- Giants- Bengals) a playoff ticket.  🙁  

    We don't need to worry about the Raiders anymore, one Browns win does it.

    The underdog Raiders cover.  They are done in the playoffs.

    But I got killed by Herbert especially in OT.

    No, I don't think they are done.  They are now 7-7.   While they probably can't catch Browns for  5th seed, they can still make it.

    I don't know Gip, there has been a ton of talk that 10-6 possibly not getting you in. 

    They'd need a miracle at this point, I think. 

  • I went to bed when the Raiders scored the FG in OT.  Man, that's a good 'wake up' surprise!    Thank you Chargers!  (among other things, the Chargers need a kicker)

    And that needs to come Sunday. We can't eff around and lose this game. I honestly feel like our team is angry...very similar to after the Raiders game. Our players were furious and felt like they should have won that game. I get the same feeling now, and I'd be surprised if we didn't play inspired football Sunday. It's going to be a stupid close game and full of heart attacks, but we have a good chance to win.

    It was the most frustrating game to watch. Hahahaha. It had that old Browns feel to it, where neither team wanted to win.

  • @the-gipper said:

    To be fair,  he has done it in more games than Baker played in. 

    Baker started 13 games his rookie season, and played in most of a 14th. 

    This is Herberts 13th game. 

    @dutch-oven said:

    This is Herberts 13th game. 

    And both Herbert and Baker dealt with coaches who "had faith in" Tyrod Taylor.

    In an amazing coincidence, both of those same coaches are terrible in-game managers: Earlier this season Bolts ran tried to run a QB sneak near the goal line.. while the OL dropped into passpro.

    the ratbirds are in with that schedule. 

    assuming the worst...
    I don’t know if we win a 10-6 tiebreaker with the Dolphins. 
    does anyone know if a Dolphins loss and a Browns win this week gets us in?

    or even 11-5?  I thought we held a tiebreaker over the Dolphins at 11-5? Maybe?  This scenario would assume the Colts win out

    I just stumbled across that link too - thanks!! 
     

    doom and gloom scenario

    The 11-5 scenario where the Dolphins, Ravens  and Browns were 11-5. We were out assuming the Titans win out too.

    But I had the Titans winning at Packers

    Colts winning at Steelers 

    Dolphins winning at Buffalo

    Well...I am talking mathematically....even if not probable. 

    Here is something I found from the NY Times:


    West
     Chiefs ✓ 12-1
    99%100%
    100% 100% 89% 23%
    AFC
    West
     Raiders 7-7
    66%6%
    6% <1% <1% <1%

    So....Raiders have now only a 6% chance of making playoffs. 

    (first column is "making playoffs"   second column is "winning division"  third is  "getting first round bye"  last is "winning Super Bowl" 

  • Here are same odds for AFCN contenders:

    AFC
    North
     Steelers ✓ 11-2
    >99%100%
    100% 98% 10% 10%
    AFC
    North
     Browns 9-4
    55%87%
    87% 2% <1% 2%
    AFC
    North
     Ravens 8-5
    90%77%
    77% <1% <1% 4%

    They give the RFCSs  still a 77% chance of making playoffs, even though they are currently not in position.

    Cool....that is different than the thing I pasted.   Here is what I found by playing with it: 

    If Browns win all 3, they are in  100%

    If they win 2 of 3, they are still 99% chance of getting in. 

    If the Browns lost to both Steelers and Giants, they still have an 80% chance of making the playoffs.

    If they lost to the Giants and the Jets, but beat the Steelers  they have a 77% chance. 

    If they lost to the Jets and the Steelers they would have a 73% chance. 

    ..but only 14% chance if they lose their last 3 games.  

    Because Giants are out of conference, losing to them would not hurt nearly as bad as losing to the Jets.

    Yeah, I played with that simulator too.... The Dolphins only path to the playoffs is to win out.... One loss virtually cooks them, barring Baltimore suffering a major upset...  (right now they're double digit favorites against the Jags) 

    Too bad we got Par-kayed on MNF, we could have darn near eliminated the Ratbirds, now they're a near lock to get in...  

    PS, win the next two, and we're in.  🙂

    The Phins can go 2-1 and we go 1-2 and they could be in-  looking at who the Ravens play they are essentially up against us

    I REALLY don't want to play them again. Sadly, it's the most likely scenario, right? I don't see any way that Ravens lose their games coming up. They won't even be close from what I'm seeing.

    Why would you think that?   All WCs play the division champs in the first round, so we would not see them there.  We would be more likely to see the Steelers.   Here would be the  matchups under the current standings:

    PLAYOFF MATCHUPS
    Miami at Pittsburgh
     
    Indianapolis at Buffalo
     
    Cleveland at Tennessee 
     
    KC with the bye.
     
    IF by chance the Browns were to beat TN in this scenario, and Buffalo and Pittsburgh won, we would then have to go to KC. 
    If you replace Miami with Baltimore, they would have to go to Pitt. 
    I am just not seeing under what circumstances we would ever play Baltimore, unless we both made the AFC title game..and then, OK
    Bring it ON!!
