Absolutely. Assuming Pitt makes it, there are only 2 elite offenses in the AFC playoffs: Pitt and NE.

If the standings work out the way I think they will we should play one of them in the AFC title game (if we make it).

[Chiefspants]

It's funny, I just had a flashback to a conversation I had on here in late July.

The Royals went all in at the deadline in large part because the AL was up for grabs this year. After we acquired Cueto and Zo, many thought the Royals were still a notch below the three heavyweights in the NL (The Cards, Pirates and Giants).

Crazy things happen come playoff time. Even though I think the Chiefs match up horribly against the Cards and Panthers, an NFC team who the Chiefs match up well against could come from nowhere and get to the title game.

Now.. the Chiefs would have to get there, and I'm still not sold that Alex or Andy have the fortitude for a deep run in the playoffs.

But as the Royals did in 2014, they're welcome to prove me wrong.

[tk13]

I'm not going to get too crazy. I'd just be happy if they ended the playoff win drought. But I said when we were 2-5 that we could still do it this year because the AFC was a dumpster fire, and it probably looks worse now than it did back then. Doesn't mean they will... but there are a lot of huge question marks out there for almost every team.

We've seen the hot team that doesn't have that great of a regular season record ride it all the way to the SB before. Particularly the damn Giants, twice, against the Patriots. Steelers did it at least once too.

I still think the Patriots are the team to beat, IF they are healthy. Gronk is back, Edelman should be back by the playoffs, and none of the injuries suffered in the meantime seem playoff-threatening.

If the Pats are healthy, I like their chances just fine against anyone in the NFL, and think they will have an epic game against whoever the NFC puts up. But the Pats certainly aren't invincible, and teams with a good pass rush (like the Chiefs) certainly can be the recipe for defeating the Pats.

Pats defense is as good as it's been since the early SB runs and '07 though, IMHO. It's not all Brady...

Is Gronk 100%? If so I'd rest him and unleash him on the playoffs. If Gronk Edleman, and Amendola are all back, watch the fuck out.

I was hoping the Panthers would make it from the NFC, but if Olsen is out, it's probably not in the cards. Cardinals are a tough out too. How the hell weird would it be if Palmer won the championship after choking so hard so often in Cincy and quitting football in Chokeland. Weird damn game this football.

As opposed to the AFC South? The North with the sucktastic Browns/Ravens this year, and a Steelers team the Patriots already beat?

Let's face it, the AFC EAst is about as good as the AFC West:

Pats - Broncos
Chiefs - Jets
Bills - Raiders
Dolphins - Chargers

The we go to the NFC. The Patriots beat 3 of the 4 NFC East teams. The NFC South has one good team and is otherwise a joke. The North has the sad-sack Lions, mediocre Bears, pretty good Vikes and good-not-great-this-year Packers. The West has two excellent teams, and two not-excellent teams.

So quit your pathetic whining.

This was exactly my thought. Props to the scrub (Jah) for coming in quickly and being of some use. Not saying he can't get better eventually.. but right now, he is a real liability in pass pro. I don't love Allen at RT, but suspect he will do a better job. Plus, despite some varying opinion on this, I think Morse at LG and Fulton at C is probably our best choice.

This 2015 season would be the first time since 1997 that the Chiefs went 3 yrs straight with a winning record. That may not mean much to some, but I do like winning seasons more than losing ones. The Chiefs wanted to be relevant again, and there can be no question now that they are. :)

http://www.nfl.com/standings/tiebreakingprocedures

NFL Tiebreaking Procedures

The six postseason participants from each conference are seeded as follows:

The division champion with the best record.
The division champion with the second-best record.
The division champion with the third-best record.
The division champion with the fourth-best record.
The Wild Card club with the best record.
The Wild Card club with the second-best record.
The following procedures will be used to break standings ties for postseason playoffs and to determine regular-season schedules.

NOTE: Tie games count as one-half win and one-half loss for both clubs.

TO BREAK A TIE WITHIN A DIVISION

If, at the end of the regular season, two or more clubs in the same division finish with identical won-lost-tied percentages, the following steps will be taken until a champion is determined.

Two Clubs

Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs).
Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.
Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games.
Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
Strength of victory.
Strength of schedule.
Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
Best net points in common games.
Best net points in all games.
Best net touchdowns in all games.
Coin toss
Three or More Clubs

(Note: If two clubs remain tied after third or other clubs are eliminated during any step, tie breaker reverts to step 1 of the two-club format).

Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games among the clubs).
Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.
Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games.
Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
Strength of victory.
Strength of schedule.
Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
Best net points in common games.
Best net points in all games.
Best net touchdowns in all games.
Coin toss

TO BREAK A TIE FOR THE WILD-CARD TEAM

If it is necessary to break ties to determine the two Wild-Card clubs from each conference, the following steps will be taken.

If the tied clubs are from the same division, apply division tie breaker.
If the tied clubs are from different divisions, apply the following steps.
Two Clubs

Head-to-head, if applicable.
Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.
Strength of victory.
Strength of schedule.
Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
Best net points in conference games.
Best net points in all games.
Best net touchdowns in all games.
Coin toss.
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.)

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.
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.)
Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.
Strength of victory.
Strength of schedule.
Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
Best net points in conference games.
Best net points in all games.
Best net touchdowns in all games.
Coin toss
When the first Wild-Card team has been identified, the procedure is repeated to name the second Wild-Card, i.e., eliminate all but the highest-ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to step 2. In situations where three or more teams from the same division are involved in the procedure, the original seeding of the teams remains the same for subsequent applications of the tie breaker if the top-ranked team in that division qualifies for a Wild-Card berth.

OTHER TIE-BREAKING PROCEDURES

Only one club advances to the playoffs in any tie-breaking step. Remaining tied clubs revert to the first step of the applicable division or Wild Card tie-breakers. As an example, if two clubs remain tied in any tie-breaker step after all other clubs have been eliminated, the procedure reverts to Step 1 of the two-club format to determine the winner. When one club wins the tiebreaker, all other clubs revert to Step 1 of the applicable two-club or three-club format.
In comparing records against common opponents among tied teams, the best won-lost-tied percentage is the deciding factor, since teams may have played an unequal number of games.
To determine home-field priority among division-titlists, apply Wild Card tie-breakers.
To determine home-field priority for Wild Card qualifiers, apply division tie-breakers (if teams are from the same division) or Wild Card tiebreakers (if teams are from different divisions).
To determine the best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed, add a team's position in the two categories, and the lowest score wins. For example, if Team A is first in points scored and second in points allowed, its combined ranking is "3." If Team B is third in points scored and first in points allowed, its combined ranking is "4." Team A then wins the tiebreaker. If two teams are tied for a position, both teams are awarded the ranking as if they held it solely. For example, if Team A and Team B are tied for first in points scored, each team is assigned a ranking of "1" in that category, and if Team C is third, its ranking will still be "3."
TIE-BREAKING PROCEDURE FOR SELECTION MEETING

Clubs not participating in the playoffs shall select in the first through 20th positions in reverse standings order.
The Super Bowl winner is last and Super Bowl loser is next-to-last.
The losers of the Conference Championship games shall select 29th and 30th based on won-lost-tied percentage.
The losers of the Divisional playoff games shall select 25th through 28th based on won-lost-tied percentage.
The losers of the Wild Card games shall select 21st through 24th based on won-lost-tied percentage.
If ties exist in any grouping except (2) above, such ties shall be broken by strength-of-schedule. If any ties cannot be broken by strength-of-schedule, the divisional or conference tie-breakers, if applicable, shall be applied. Any ties that still exist shall be broken by a coin flip.

[New World Order]

If the Chiefs, Jets, and Steelers all win out

Just keeping winning. The door can be open a mile wide, but it does us no good if the Chiefs shit the bed the last three games.

Still 3 teams tied for the last two playoff spots. Got to keep the streak alive.

yes Pit and NYJ are playing good football too. .

i think if the Chiefs can handle business this sunday they should be ok. . .

I really can't see them losing Sunday. I think CLE and especially OAK are the threats. If the Jets and Steelers manage to win the next two games, that OAK game will be hard to win, not matter what OAK looks like at the time.

If the Jets or Steelers lose a game, I think that would basically clinch it for KC because I can't see them losing two of the three.

If the Chiefs head to Frisco for the Super bowl, we will hear tempurs nuts slapping against Sandy's butt Cheeks all the way in MO.

That's not a dragon slayer. The Pats still win a ton with Brady throwing it 50 times a game in the playoffs.

The dragon slayer is that OL. They simply can't protect Brady at all.

Y'all talk a lot of shit for a team that hasn't shown a whole lot yet and isn't even in the playoffs. Pretty funny watching you trash talk the defending champion #1 seed when you haven't even locked down a WC and have done jack shit in the playoffs in decades. Not worried about the Pats? I'm not worried about the Chiefs. Because they're the Chiefs until proven otherwise. Win a fucking playoff game and then talk shit. Right now it's like a guy with a 2-inch dick bragging about how he'd have #1 billing in the upcoming porno.

[milkman]

Speaking of which for KC.. and assuming KC does the very expected to close out this season...

This 2015 season would be the first time since 1997 that the Chiefs went 3 yrs straight with a winning record. That may not mean much to some, but I do like winning seasons more than losing ones. The Chiefs wanted to be relevant again, and there can be no question now that they are. :)

Yes, there can be a question.

Winning regular season games means jack.

Sure, it's better than losing, but until they actually do something in the playoffs, they remain irrelevant.

I can't really disagree with this post. I for one am worried about having to win 3 straight, 1 against a troublesome division rival. Call it battle fatigue, but I'm enjoying the ride and starting to fantasize about a Super Bowl...that makes me nervous.

Just let it all out.

Looking back at the last two weeks, as KC heads to BAL ... Chiefs are lucky they didn't drop one.

@ OAK
Down 14-20, and they get an INT of CARR that is returned 66 yards to set up the 2 yard possession and ultimate TD, 20-20 tie.

Next drive, they get an INT of CARR that is returned for 58 yards to set up the 13 yard possession and ultimate TD, 27-20.

Then, a few series later the pick 6.

Great plays by the defense and very fortunate.

Then you have the Chargers game last week that went to the wire. Two ugly games, two wins...

[Sandy Vagina]

Go with that for yourself then. That's your opinion, and you are certainly free to it. Take it a little further, why not?

Winning only one playoff game "means jack" .. because (in this hypothetical) we still didn't bring home the Lombardi.

Playing in the SB "means jack" if you happen to end up the losing team.

Guess it all comes down to your personal definition of what makes a team relevant. I consider every playoff team relevant.. because maybe they get on a hot stretch. They are a significant threat. (perhaps a small asterisk to a division winner that sneaks in with 7 or 8 wins.. but that's just me.. and everyone has their own take)

ROFL More Mule Tool Talk...You didn't even watch the Oakland / KC game, yet u have your narrative all ready to go. Im sure that Carr just decided to throw picks for no reason. Im sure the KC pressure (less Houston no less) didn't CAUSE the mistakes or anything...:rolleyes: You also negated to mention the fact that Oakland scored TWICE off KC turnovers...Had you actually WATCHED the game, instead of basing your take on the made-for- Tool-Talk- ESPN highlights, you wouldn't look like a total biased Mule Tool Ass on this issue...

Fact is NO team in the league has gotten more gift wins this season than Denver. They could EASILY have lost to Balt, at KC, to Minn, at Cle, at Chi, to NE. You've said that it all usually evens out in the end - Well no way that can happen this year for Denver even if they fluke lose out. Its been THAT one-sided in your favor this season. You don't see it because you're so used to seeing Denver getting to play by different rules throughout the years.

What game was it Denver fumbled towards the very end of the game and the other team picked it up and either ran it back for a touchdown or close, and the refs ruled the recovery man down by contact? Then they had to drive the field and didn't get it done.

Can't deny the last two games could have gone differently. If carr his a wide open crabtree the play before the mauga pick it's 27 14. If floyd catches the ball or addai catches the pick six who knows.

KC showed to me the lions, Broncos, and first chargers game a level capable of beating good teams, despite who they were playing at the time. The past two games, even buffalo, leave cleaning up and also had times where we could have lost. This team needs to stay focused, especially the final two games.

No doubt! After their dominance in the 70s with 4 SB Titles, the Steelers pretty much vanished. Hell, the Steelers are just on their 2nd Head Coach since the guy that won 4 SB titles in the 70s. Seriously, since 1969, the Steelers have only had 3 press conferences to announce a new head coach.

(let that sink in)

I'm really only busting your chops because of the comment "teams with dynasties like NE", as if to suggests they come around often. There's like 3 teams like the present day Patriots that have been around the NFL in the last 4 decades.

Well, the Steelers are still relevant. It will be interesting to see what happens in New England once Brady retires though. What is the plan for life after Brady and is that also the time when Bill says "it's time for me to move on".

Bill defined himself with Brady, perfect combo... does he have the "want to" in order to see if it can keep going? That's the riddle.

Meh. Most teams can point to a lucky win or two, and an unlucky loss or two, by the end of any given year. That's how close things are in the NFL most weekends.

I can name a number of lucky wins by great Pats teams over the years. One year we won a SB, we had a WR fumble the ball as he landed unconscious in a close game against the Bills. Lucky for us, he had one foot out of bounds, and was touching the ball. Ergo, dead ball.

The 2007 undefeated Pats would have lost to the Ravens if Rex Ryan didn't call a timeout just before they stopped us on 4th down. We got a redo, and hit for a first down or TD, whichever it was (it was on a scoring drive, though, VERY late in the game (last 2 minutes IIRC).

Oh YES they most certainly are relevant. Didn't mean to suggest otherwise. Old School respect and props go their way... I was living in Houston back during the Oiler's Earl Campbell and the "Love Ya Blue" era and they never did kick that Steeler door in. Still say that Mike Renfro's catch in the end zone of the 1979 AFC Championship was indeed a cath. (replay proves it beyond any doubt)

If Kelce catches that slant he probably scores. If Kelce doesn't get called for a stupid penalty, Chiefs put 6 more on the board.

My point being, those little fuck ups through out the game are what determines the outcome of these games, for all teams, not just the Chiefs. The margin for error is slim for all 32 teams, so we can't really play the what if game and draw any conclusions. Fact is, Floyd didn't catch it and Carr threw some picks. They're accountable for their mistakes.

That's why these last 3 games....none of them are gimmies. I know the media wants us to believe that, but fuck that, every one of these games are playoff games and the Browns/Ravens/Raiders are certainly capable of pulling off the upset.

You're right, BUT I still think the whole 1-5 start that you mentioned will come into play. There's a reason why no team in the history of the current format has ever come back from 1-5 to make the playoffs. You're put in a position where you likely have to win out and somewhere along the way you're bound to slip. If that happens, you could be done. The Chiefs aren't in yet and could still miss out.

I'm not sure about that. I think the only way the Steelers can win the division is if the Bengals lose out. And if they do that, then Denver becomes the #2 seed by winning the West regardless of what the Chiefs do.

This will be the game that Den fans get back on track and quit sweating it...

It's the last game of the season, early Jan in Denver ... I don't see Denver losing that one, regardless of how PIT and CIN goes.

Denver's defense will rape Rivers. Their OL is easily bottom 5, maybe worst in the league, and their weapons are decimated.

[O.city]

But I'm pretty sure theres no way the Steelers win the north without the Bengals losing out, which would mean they lose to Denver next week, which then means the Broncos have to lose to the Chargers in week 17 for the Chiefs to win the division.

Hence, thats not happening.

New England is the Big Dog in the AFC...other than that its up for grabs between Denver, Cinci, Houston, Indy, Chiefs, Steelers and Jets. It will be the team that is hot vs New England. My guess is that the Chiefs have the best shot besides New England. If Jets can find a way to win in the next 2 weeks they will be on that list as well. I don't see Cinci or Denver getting to AFC Championship without QBs

Patriots are a bunch of spare parts on offense. They are losing in the playoffs

[NJChiefsFan]

I'm not sure about that. I think the only way the Steelers can win the division is if the Bengals lose out. And if they do that, then Denver becomes the #2 seed by winning the West regardless of what the Chiefs do.

I'm not sure it's possible for Pittsburgh and KC to both win their divisions the way the last few games play out.

(Been over on the ESPN playoff predictor and just haven't been able to make this scenario work.)

Edit, never mind. It can work IF: Cinci loses out, Pittsburgh wins out, and Denver loses to the Chargers and Steelers. Personally, I'm not putting a lot of faith in the Chargers beating the Broncos in week 17.

Remember when we needed a sad 49ers team to win late week 17 in Denver to make the playoffs(on top of 3 other things)? What a day that was.

[MotherfuckerJones]

Eh...I'm pretty sure we all thought Denver would roll SF in '06 at the end of the season and we all know how that went.

You have to win regular season games to get to dance old man.

No shit.

But winning regular season games and losing in the playoffs is not earning relevance.

[Toby Waller]

the AFC is actually only up for grabs if KC loses. If they win,that eliminates a lot

[BlackOp]

I think Sunday is a decent barometer for KC's post-season synergy...road game against a damaged but well-coached team. Playoffs in the balance....if they win by 14...I'll take them serious. If they squeak out another sloppy win...Pitt or NE would be my call.

I do think they are good enough to get their first post-season win this year.

On the flip side, the Chiefs rank 34th out of 32 teams in GAS, or the GoChiefs Assessment System. That's right, they are so bad, there are two empty spaces ahead of them.

Rectum? Damn near killed 'em!
