<p>
AFC:</p>
<p>
East:  Jets  with #1 seed  (by virtue of their win over Pats)</p>
<p>
North: Ravens  (by virtue of win over Steelers)</p>
<p>
South:  Jaguars (by virtue of win over Colts</p>
<p>
West:  Chiefs</p>
<p>
Wildcard:  Patriots  and Steelers</p>

<p>
NFC:</p>
<p>
East: Eagles</p>
<p>
North: Bears (by virtue of win over Packers)</p>
<p>
South:  Falcons  with #1 seed</p>
<p>
West:  Seahawks</p>
<p>
Wild cards:  Saints (best conf. record) and  either TB Bucs or Packers (would need to go to strength of schedule to break tie</p>


<p>
Note this: every single one of the Browns losses this year have been to a team that is in line to make the playoffs, plus two of their wins have been over these teams. The only team they have played so far that is not in playoff position is the Bengals.  That is why they have had by far the toughest schedule in the NFL.</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/topic/17074/if-the-playoffs-started-today-week-12</link><generator>RSS for Node</generator><lastBuildDate>Thu, 01 Oct 2026 22:31:28 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link href="https://brownsboard.com/topic/17074.rss" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><pubDate>Tue, 23 Nov 2010 17:09:37 GMT</pubDate><ttl>60</ttl><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to If the Playoffs started today Week 12 on Wed, 24 Nov 2010 15:39:48 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="/user/steelershittypros" aria-label="Profile: steelershittypros">@<bdi>steelershittypros</bdi></a> <a href="/post/210736">said</a>:</p>what if the Browns were 10-0?

<span style="color:#8B0000">The point of the thread is to simply do a status report on the  playoff race. I thought that much was obvious.  Certainly it is not the FINAL status, merely interim.  It is meant for entertainment and discussion purposes. It is a far better guage of what is going on in the NFL than these so called "power rankings".</span></p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/210889</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/210889</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[The Gipper]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 24 Nov 2010 15:39:48 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to If the Playoffs started today Week 12 on Tue, 23 Nov 2010 20:41:07 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>what if the Browns were 10-0?</p>

<p>
I think we need 6 or 7 wins to keep Mangini's job.. Don't get me wrong, I like him as head coach.. I just think if we end the season with only 3 or 4 wins no matter how many close losses we have, it won't be enough to save his job..</p>

<p>
That being said, we should win at least 3 out of our next 4 games.. so that would be our 6 or 7 wins with Bal and Pit left to go..</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/210726</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/210726</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[bringbackbrownie2]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 23 Nov 2010 19:34:08 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to If the Playoffs started today Week 12 on Tue, 23 Nov 2010 19:06:25 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>We will only play 3 more teams with losing records (Panthers, Bills, Bengals) this year.
