Will we make the playoffs?

FloridaChief · 11-13-2005, 11:12 PM

Of course not.

**Mr. Kotter** · 11-13-2005, 11:13 PM

If I had any reason to hold out hope, I would. Seriously. I'm an optimitic guy most of the time.

The window has closed. It's over. Stick a fork in us.

Jeez. I really don't know. I think the Raiders are toast, 0-4 in the division. You guys and SD still have a shot.

Did you type that with a straight face, or not?

**Bowser** · 11-13-2005, 11:16 PM

Nope. We can only afford to lose one more game if we want a shot at the playoffs. I can see an AFC team going 10-6 and missing the playoffs this year. That team will probably be us.

Good enough to be average.

I think an extra team should be allowed to go to the playoffs.

I know the quality of team wouldn't be that good. I mean, hell, they do it in the NBA.

**CosmicPal** · 11-13-2005, 11:22 PM

If we were in the NFC- I'd be the same optimistic chap I've always been and say, "Hell yea!"

But, with the quality of teams in the AFC and the fact they all have easier schedules then the Chiefs- I'll say "Shit No!"

Frazod · 11-13-2005, 11:23 PM

No. It's over. Denver will win the division going away, and the wild card berths will go to Jacksonville and either Cincinnati or Pittsburgh.

Just as well, too. We'd get creamed by the first good team we played, and in the playoffs, they're all good.

**Dunit35** · 11-13-2005, 11:24 PM

Unless KC grows a pair and plays up to their standards and not the other teams standards we wont make the playoffs and our team from 2001-2005 will be a huge dissapointment.

I think there are too many teams in the playoffs already.

I think you guys are over reacting to a particularly shitty loss. It's far from over at this point.

Maybe. But I'm thinking maybe not.

Jacksonville is all but assured of a wildcard berth. They'd pretty much have to die in a plane crash not to get in. The last berth will go to either the Stellas or the Bengals.

We won't catch you guys. Basically because WE SUCK and you don't.

But of course, if we win out, and finish 12-4, we might sneak in somehow. Of course, we have remaining games against Denver, San Diego, New England, New York and Dallas - all playoff caliber teams. I figure the odds of us beating all five of these teams are about as good me hitting the lotto AND growing my hair back. Hell, at this point, stealing one or two of those games might be a stretch.

The Jags start a three game road stint next sunday and then they have the Colts coming to visit so even though the teams they play on the road seem to be weak it's awfully hard for any team to win three games in a row on the road. So in the next 4 weeks there's a decent chance they will lose two of those games. After that their schedule looks pretty easy. I wouldn't say they're a lock just yet.

The Bengals have the Colts coming in this week and then they go to the Steelers the next. They also have to play the Lions in Detroit and the Chiefs at Arrowhead. Again they don't have a lock on a playoff spot yet.

The Chargers play at the Skins, Colts and Chiefs then they finish at home with the Donks. That's no cake walk.

If we can take care of business the next two weeks we might find ourselves right in the middle of it. Yeah we have some games too but anything can happen in the NFL. This thing is far from settled.
