What are kc's roads in getting to the playoffs?

[Reerun_KC]

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!

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

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

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

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

Division tiebreakers are applied first. Then the Conference record.

But with Cincinatti in a different division wouldn't the AFC record apply instead?

No, but all of this talk doesn't matter as the Chiefs aren't making the playoffs. We should just deal with it, and move on.

Only against ours. So they would be seeded higher than us. But we HAVE to be seeded higher than Denver because division record is more important than conference record according to NFL tiebreaker rules.


RULES FOR WILDCARD TIEBREAKER:
Three or More Clubs
(Note: If two clubs remain tied after third or other clubs are eliminated, tie breaker reverts to step 1 of applicable two-club format.)
1. Apply division tie breaker to eliminate all but the highest ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to step 2. The original seeding within a division upon application of the division tie breaker remains the same for all subsequent applications of the procedure that are necessary to identify the two Wild-Card participants.
2. Head-to-head sweep. (Applicable only if one club has defeated each of the others or if one club has lost to each of the others.)
3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.
5. Strength of victory.
6. Strength of schedule.
7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
9. Best net points in conference games.
10. Best net points in all games.
11. Best net touchdowns in all games.
12. Coin toss

That my friend is not a good thing. KC's playoff's will be known most likely before late games.

I can't root for the Broncos. I just can't.

IF N.Y. JETS BEAT MIAMI

Kansas City can clinch a playoff berth with:

* A win and a Cincinnati loss or tie and a Denver loss and a Tennessee loss or tie

[dj56dt58]

more than likely the road that leads to a dead end
