Not really.

It's actually pretty simple.

The Chiefs aren't getting into the playoffs.

Can't be any simpler than that.

looking at the schedule, we want the Jets to lose tonight...

We want Denver to win today.

Then we want SF to beat Denver week 17...

Denver needs to lose one -- I think the better chances of them losing that one comes today versus the Bengals.

They host the Steelers next week -- I don't see them losing that game, so whether the Bengals claim a spot this week or next week it doesn't much matter and if it doesn't much matter I'd just as soon see them take the Broncos out today so we don't have to rely on the Niners to take Denver out at Mile High next week.

Going to play the Dolphins in Miami tomorrow night could prove tough but it still leaves us relying on the Raiders to beat the Jets in New York next week. Not bloody likely, but I guess with an adequate defense the Raiders could pull off some kind of miracle.

How do you figure we own the tie-breaker over the Titans?

Game, Set, Match....

Several factors that kept the Chiefs out.

1) losing Green at the beginning of the year

2) total team colaspe at Pittsburg

3) Huard Pissing down his pants at Miami

4) The coaching debacle in cleveland....

5) Green not playing up to past form after return

6) Herm having is yearly brain dump as an NFL coach.. 4th and season agianst B-More....


Those are to name a few reasons why we arent going to the playoffs, feel free to pile on!!!

Chiefs were in three road games they could have won (Broncos, Dolphins, Chargers) and one road game they should have won (Browns). Great teams pull those games out (and have 12-3 records)...average teams do not...

How fitting will it be that the Jets get to the playoffs and "the Savior" takes a 10-6 team and makes them worse?

If the Jets make the playoffs with a 1st year headcoach, there will be alot of people eating crow on the Chiefsplanet...

Many people here thought "the Savior" would take us to the playoffs and make us better... Boy were we stupid!

not happening

I almost dont want them to make the playoffs. That would stroke Carl's ego even more..

**** Denver. I will not root for their playoff chances.

if Cinci wins:
need
NE win over Tenn
Miami win over NYJ
Oak win over NYJ

if Denver wins:
need
NE win over Tenn
SF win over Denver
Pitt win over Cinci

looks just about even to me.

If Denver wins.

Monday Night
NYJ @ Mia <-- Helps

17)
Pitt @ Cin <-- MUST HAPPEN if no help.
Jack @ KC <-- MUST HAPPEN
Oak @ NYJ <-- Helps
NE @ Ten <-- MUST HAPPEN
SF @ Den <-- MUST HAPPEN if no help.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
If Cincinatti wins.

Monday Night
NYJ @ Mia <-- MUST HAPPEN

17)
Jack @ KC <-- MUST HAPPEN
Oak @ NYJ <-- MUST HAPPEN
NE @ Ten <-- MUST HAPPEN

If Denver beats Cincy, does Denver have to lose next week for us to get in?

so basically in either scenario- Oakland must win one more game?

Probably. If the Jets lose out, and the Bengals lose out, then we can get in without SF beating Denver. Not likely though.

No, they only MUST win if Cinci beats Denver right now. Under the Denver wins situation, the Oakland game only helps our cause.

if denver wins

I think pitt has to beat cinci even if the jets lose out and SF wins

a 3-way tie between Denver, KC, and Cinci would leave KC out... I think (AFC record?)

Go Bengals
