Wild Card Playoff Matchups set (almost)

Bucs will play Redskins if Redskins win tonight..or Giants if Redskins lose

[chiefswillriseup]

So we'll play the lowest seed remaining after wildcards right? Not too worried with any teams but my preference would be Browns > Colts > Ravens > Titans

[Hammock Parties]

Home teams will all win, except the NFCE winner.

Chiefs will play the Titans.

[comochiefsfan]

Ravens and Titans would at least make me somewhat nervous going into the game.

Browns and Colts not so much.

[Halfcan]

Would like the Bills, Steelers and Ravens knocked out with the remaining teams getting pounded in the win.

[MahomesMagic]

Probably Colts, Ravens, or Titans for us round 1. I see Browns as dead men walking.

[TLO]

Seems like playing the Browns might be a real possibility.

Otherwise we're probably getting the Ravens or Titans.

I don't see the Colts beating the Bills. At least I hope they don't. I really want nothing to do with the Colts.

[Rasputin]

Browns or Colts, I’ll take that. That works out fine and Dandy.


I kinda like either match up. Phylip Rivers with a walk off pic 6 would be epic LMAO


The Browns are pretty potent though.

[Deberg_1990]

Home teams will all win, except the NFCE winner.

Chiefs will play the Titans.

I have a gut feeling the Ravens will beat the Titans

[ChiefsCountry]

AFC Wildcard Round
Colts upset the Bills
Steelers over Browns
Ravens over Titans

AFC Divisional Round
Chiefs vs Colts
Steelers vs Ravens

[Hammock Parties]

I have a gut feeling the Ravens will beat the Titans

Lamar Jackson has ONE game of more than 200 yards passing in the last seven weeks.

And the Titans took the trash out already earlier this year.

https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/202011220rav.htm

He may never win a playoff game.

[MMXcalibur]

Bills over Colts

Why are the Colts the best team?

[Kman34]

The Browns will beat the Steelers... Come on guys.. you can’t see that?

[lcarus]

I'm with you on that. I think the Browns beating Steelers is the best realistic scenario for us. Like you said, Colts are likely gonna get destroyed by the Bills and fuck playing the Colts anyway. I was so hoping the Dolphins made it over them. Sick of the damn Colts.

[RocKhawks]

When will they release the day and times of those games?

[tredadda]

Bills over Colts
Steelers over Browns
Ravens over Titans

Chiefs over Ravens
Steelers over Bills

Chiefs over Steelers

I just can't see Pittsburgh beating Buffalo, at least with how both are currently playing.

[BigRedChief]

Browns beating the Steelers are our best matchup.

[TLO]

Why are the Colts the best team?

I don't think they are the best team, I just don't particularly like how we match up with them in a lot of areas.

[Hammock Parties]

Browns beating the Steelers are our best matchup.

I'd rather face the Steelers.

The Browns offense could give our D fits.

Only way to beat the Chiefs is to score 30+

[tredadda]

I don't think they are the best team, I just don't particularly like how we match up with them in a lot of areas.

Fortunately I think Buffalo fists them.

[RunKC]

I know the Bills are rolling right now, but the Colts are not a good matchup for them

[pugsnotdrugs19]

AFC side is fun but the NFC side is weak.

[MahomesMagic]

Bills should be favored but Indy can run and Rivers can hit quick passes over the middle.

Comes down to what Indy D can do.

Probably after the WFT game.

[jerryaldini]

But we'd rather face the Browns than Titans/Ravens. Browns Steelers will be a dogfight.

[Gary Cooper]

AFC side is fun but the NFC side is weak.

Yeah, Chicago and whoever wins the NFC East aren't teams that belong in the postseason.

[ChiefsCountry]

Lets guess the playoff times:

Saturday
Noon - Colts at Bills
3pm - Bears at Saints
7pm - Browns at Steelers

Sunday
Noon - Bucs at NFC East
3pm - Ravens at Titans
7pm - Rams at Seahawks

[displacedinMN]

Just make our game an early game

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Saturday
Noon - Bucs @ Washington
3pm - Colts @ Bills
7pm - Browns at Steelers

Sunday
Noon - Ravens @ Titans
3pm - Bears @ Saints
7pm - Rams at Seahawks

[Jerok]

Saturday
Noon - Bucs @ Washington
3pm - Colts @ Bills

Sunday

3pm - Bears @ Saints
7pm - Rams at Seahawks

You think they'd do Brady like that?

[pugsnotdrugs19]

You think they'd do Brady like that?

Good point.

[Jerok]

Saturday
12 Colts at Bills
3. Rams at Seahawks
7. Bucs at Washington

Sunday

Browns at Steelers
Ravens at Titans
Bears at Saints

[FloridaMan88]

Alex Smith-led Redskins knocking Tom Brady out of the playoffs... yes, please.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

I just figure they will generally put the more boring (on paper) matchups on Saturday because that seems to be the routine.

[notorious]

Wait, how in the fuck did the Bears get in?!?!

[bdj23]

Imagine going from 11-0 to 12-4 to (likely) 1 and done

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Wait, how in the **** did the Bears get in?!?!

The Cardinals shit all over themselves for the last month.

[TomBarndtsTwin]

WTF?!? Some people are afraid of the Colts?? We bitch slapped them in the playoffs 2 years ago. And now they have Phyllis Rivers as their QB.

I would fucking welcome the Colts with an umbrella party to Arrowhead. Easy win. And as a bonus, knock out the red hot Bills and everyone can quit sucking off Josh Allen.

But it’s not gonna happen. Bills will blow them out.


Bring on ANYONE, though. Seriously. We should not be concerned about any team in the AFC. We are better than all of them!

If we somehow lost, it would be upset of massive proportions.

But it’s not happening.

We’re going back to the Super Bowl. Book it.

[mlyonsd]

Saturday
12 Colts at Bills
3. Browns at Steelers
7. Bucs at Washington

Sunday

Browns at Steelers
Ravens at Titans
Bears at Saints
Are the browns/steelers playing best 2 out of 3?

[Why Not?]

Saturday
12 Colts at Bills
3. Browns at Steelers
7. Bucs at Washington

Sunday

Browns at Steelers
Ravens at Titans
Bears at Saints

I’d love for them to make the Browns and Steelers play twice but I don’t think the league will go for that

[pugsnotdrugs19]

BEST OF 2!##@%

[TomBarndtsTwin]

Are the browns/steelers playing best 2 out of 3?

Well, technically, yes.

Steelers won the first, Browns won today. Winner next week wins 2 out of three for the season and gets to keep playing . . . . . .

[Red Dawg]

Colts will lose at Buff for sure
Baker will fuck up at Pitt
To me its Titans again. Lamar will choke again.

[notorious]

The Cardinals shit all over themselves for the last month.

So....NFC might put an 8-8 AND 6-10 team in the playoffs?

What a fucking dumpster fire.

[FloridaMan88]

If the Saints can choke at home to Kirk Cousins in the playoffs then they can certainly lose to Trublowsky/Bears in an empty Superdome.

[notorious]

I'd be shocked if Chicago scores in the double digits.

Oops, fixed

[notorious]

14 teams get in the playoffs, 18 don't.

It sucks. It fucking sucks.

I like it. Our potential opponents will have one less day to rest.

Indy will get grease-spotted by Buffalo, and if they don't the extra day won't help them.

[tk13]

Usually they announce the 2nd round games tonight too. I wonder if they're going to wait since we don't know who's going to be playing in the other game.

[MahomesMagic]

KC is a bad matchup for every AFC playoff team. Schematically teams that could possess the ball would be more irritating or frustrating.

Probably waiting to see. There could be some sexy matchups in the divisional round.

So we can know our opponent after the first game - if the Colts win, we play them.

But if the Bills win as they should, will have to wait until Sunday night to know who we face.

[Rausch]

I'd like that a lot.

We owe them a few playoff KO's and we have Rivers' number...

[diqlix]

Why are the Colts the best team?

They aren’t.

In fact, I don’t think they’re much above average.

They have the lowest SOV (strength of victory) of any team in the AFC playoffs.

They beat the Jags, Texans, Lions, Bengals, Jets, Bears, etc.

By far the weakest playoff team in the AFC.

[FloridaMan88]

ESPN finally got a decent playoff game (Houston not being in the playoffs helps) and kids watching the Nickelodeon broadcast will be subjected to Trubisky, sad.

[diqlix]

Bills should be favored but Indy can run and Rivers can hit quick passes over the middle.

Comes down to what Indy D can do.

I think they said on the radio that Bills opened up as 8 point favorites.

Dolphins had the #1 scoring defense in the league and the Bills dropped 56 on them today.

[diqlix]

Baker will **** up at Pitt
To me its Titans again. Lamar will choke again.

I agree.

I think it will be Chiefs-Titans and Bills-Pitt in the divisional round.

[ROYC75]

Nope. Browns coming to town.

Browns could barely beat the Steelers back ups today. Tomlim rested almost everybody on offense and defense.

Ravens over the Titans, pay back game
Steelers over the Browns
Bills over the Colts

Chiefs over the Ravens, close game
Bills over the Steelers, close game

Chiefs over the Bills, yes a close game

NFC ?
Who cares, but here goes

Redskins - Bucs, Pick em, close game
Saints over Bears
Seachicks over Rams

Packers over Bucs/Redskins
Saints over Seachicks

Packers over Saints

State Farm SB Shootout
Chiefs over Packers, in the highest scoring SB game in history. ( over 75 pts )

Fat Ben was the only skill guy to be rested by the Steelers. Ebron was out due to Covid close contact, I think. But I agree that the Browns will lose next next week

Holy shit, throw the house on Indy. Not a chance Buffalo is beating them by multiple scores and I’m not even sure Buffalo wins at all.

[RaidersOftheCellar]

Their offense looked terrible when we faced them.

Bills scored 501 points this season. That’s the highest in the AFC.

Everyone thinks they’re unbeatable. Until they run into the king that is.

Make no mistake, if the Bills are lucky enough to make it to us, then they’ll be reminded real quick who the king is.

I think Buffalo wins by double digits.

That prediction has less to do with the Bills and more to do with the Colts.

Colts just aren’t that good.

They got to the playoffs by beating literal bottom feeders (Jags, Texans, Jets, Bengals, Bears, etc)

PS, 8 points is not multiple scores lol

[comochiefsfan]

I think Buffalo wins by double digits.

They will dominate you guys in the trenches on both sides of the ball. I’d be prepared to be in for a surprise if you think Buffalo is blowing them out with that kind of mismatch.

[dirk digler]

The Bills should beat the Colts pretty handily

[pugsnotdrugs19]

They will dominate you guys in the trenches on both sides of the ball. I’d be prepared to be in for a surprise if you think Buffalo is blowing them out with that kind of mismatch.

Certainly enough so to keep it close.

And in close playoff games, Josh Allen does some stupid shit until proven otherwise.

Still think the Bills win but it’s no lock.

I wouldn’t be too concerned if I were them. Buffalo has built up their profile by running up the score on awful opponents these past couple months. That was Baltimore’s M.O. last year until they ran into a real team in the playoffs and ended up getting embarrassed.

Same thing will happen to the Bills this year.

I'd love to play the Steelers then maybe the Browns but other than that all of those other teams are pretty dangerous. I think its about 60/40 we get back to the Super Bowl. Certainly the favorite but everyone in the AFC is clicking right now.

[Chiefshrink]

KC is a bad matchup for every AFC playoff team.

Agree, BUT not if our o-line is still beat up and playing like manure forcing our GOAT QB to be limited in his playmaking skills downfield because he is more focused on the chaos around him that causes him to make more errors(inaccurate easy passes and ints) and higher potential for injury.

Fisher should be good to go as well as Remmers. We'll be fine. There is no 2019 49ers DL in our bracket.

[BWillie]

Bills - Josh Allen is playing great and so is the team. Allen seems to get better every yr. His decision making has been his bugaboo in previous years. Im not sure I trust him in the playoffs.

Browns - They have a great running attack that could neutralize our ability to get many possessions. The game plan to beat the Chiefs should be to control the time of possession, be successful running the football. If you arent as good as the other team doing so is a good idea because it shortens the game and you can get lucky.

Ravens - I actually think they are scary now again because Lamar seems to have accepted his fate as a running QB. If they dont go full retard and blitz us they could beat us 3 times out of 10.

Colts - Out of all the teams defenses this one worries me the most. They beat us remember last year at home. Granted I believe Sammy and Tyreek were both out but I like the way their defense matches up with the Chiefs if I was a Colts fan. Downside for them is Phyllis will shit the bed at some point and give away the game.

Steelers - Paper Tiger. Please please please let his get this matchup. Mahomes will torch Steven Nelson and Big Rape doesn't quite have it anymore. They also tend to rely on blitzing to get pressure for the most part.


Tennessee - Henry is a future HOF running back. They are a tough squad and Tanny is underrated. They showed they can beat the Chiefs last yr.

[Chiefnj2]

Every NFC game looks like it will be a blowout that first round.

Ahhh, NOW I see why Chiefs fans think the crappy Colts are good lol.

The only shot the WFT has (5%) to win next week is to milk the play clock to 1 before every snap on offense and hope their D line plays out of it’s fucking mind.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Ahhh, NOW I see why Chiefs fans think the crappy Colts are good lol.

Eh not really.

Mahomes had a high ankle sprain, and Hill and Watkins were both out that day. And Chris Jones left early. Only lost by 4 or 5.

That’s not even nearly the same Colts team though.

Schematically the Colts are a bad matchup for us in that they could possess the football with power running, short passing game and play solid D.

Ultimately, we would break them but I think other teams we have easier answers for.

Are you perhaps thinking of a different team?

Colts are bottom half of the NFL in both average rushing yards per carry and rushing yards per game.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

So I’m guessing they aren’t announcing the Chiefs game time in case there are COVID issues that pop up (like Kamara did)?

Idk

[bringbackmarty]

I would not like to play the Browns if they beat pittsburgh, Browns can play defense every once in a while, Tennessee not so much. I'd like to face pitt later too, same reason. I'll take Tennessee, then Pittsburg. Then I would like to play the Redskins.

[MahomesMagic]

Yes, the TV networks and NFL will get together and decide on a schedule next Sunday night. I'd assume the Chiefs will be a night or late afternoon game considering what Mahomes has become at this point, but we won't know for sure until then.

[Sassy Squatch]

Buccaneers and Ravens favored. Bit surprised at the Ravens being favored over the Titans.

[Coogs]

so we wont know The Chiefs game's day/time until after wildcard week is over?

On Saturday the 16th, I will not be available to watch any game in the afternoon due to job obligations. It will be then. Book it.

[Dunerdr]

Last year everyone was scared of the titans too, IMO indy is this years titans. I dont get the fear of them.

[Lzen]

Every NFC game looks like it will be a blowout that first round.

Which means they will all be close. LMAO

[Lzen]

Ahhh, NOW I see why Chiefs fans think the crappy Colts are good lol.

This makes way more sense now.

The Chiefs have a terrible playoffs history with the Colts. Some Chiefs fans are still stuck in that mindset of the past. That's despite what the Chiefs have done over the past 3 seasons with Mahomes. :shake:

[Chris Meck]

Interesting AFC matchups.

I could see literally any of those teams winning.

The Titans went into Baltimore and executed a terrific game plan to beat the red hot (and #1 seed) Ravens. Then they went into Foxboro and knocked off the defending SB champs. I'd say that was a good reason.

I don't see the Colts as the same type of team, however. I would bet it has more to do with our history with the Colts. That being said, people that have this mindset tend to forget that we whooped them at Arrowhead in the Divisional Round 2 years ago.

That and Phillip Rivers.

I think we're likely playing the Ravens. I don't see the Colts beating the Bills. Browns barely beat Pitt without their starting QB and others. I don't think they look like they can win. Titans have no defense at all so Ravens will win.

So Chiefs vs Ravens next week bet we get the prime spot with that one. I Think we beat them easily, then play Bills in the AFCCG.

I think Chiefs beat the Bills they are just the more complete team with a better coach and QB. Let's hope Pat doesn't catch covid and ruins the whole year.

[Megatron96]

CLE Olivier Vernon out for the season with ruptured Achilles. Probably their best defensive player not named Myles Garrett.

Just made winning next week a whole lot harder for CLE.

Ah, CLE enjoyed a two-score lead for all except for about 15 minutes of that game vs. PIT. And PIT was more efficient offensively with Mason Rudolph under center than they have been with Ben for almost the entire season.

Don't let the final score fool ya. It wasn't as close as the final made it appear to be.

But CLE lost Olivier Vernon last night, and their defense was much worse once he was off the field, so PIT might be able to pull out a W.

Cleveland is not going to win that game. Come on, man.

Def a blow to them on D. I look at them as having a slim margin for victory if they were to win that type of blow may solidify a Pitt win.

Idk we shall see.

Fuck, I bet that means he’s out next year too

I honestly don't know if they are or not. Losing Vernon is a huge blow to their already weak defense. But with him on the field, playing some hybrid version of DE/LB, he had to be respected by opposing offenses. And we saw what happened as soon as he went down. PIT scored twice, fairly easily. Before that, PIT was having to kick FGs.

But as I said last night, PIT was more efficient offensively per possession, by the play they weren't much better than they were when they were trotting Ben and the other 'starters' out there. Though I noticed that their offensive skill position starters all played. Even saw Connor out there a few times.

Anyway, with Ben in for the last two months or more PIT was averaging something ridiculous like 3-4 yards/play. Their average drive was around 14 plays to go 60 yds. Last night they had a drive that went 11 plays for 38 YARDS. In fact, PIT had MULTIPLE drives that were very similar to that. Against one of the more porous defenses in the NFL (9th/run, 21st/pass, 20th scoring).

On the season PIT averaged about 30-35% scoring per possession, so if they got 10-11 possessions in a game, they only scored 3-4 times? Against some pretty soft defenses?

I don't know what the reasons are behind such pitiful numbers, but the bottom line is that is exactly who PIT is this season. They haven't moved the needle positively the whole season, except last night, with a pure back-up under center and against one of the worst defenses in the league.

So how exactly do you think PIT is going to suddenly reform themselves and score efficiently enough to beat a CLE team that has the momentum, and the scoring efficiency to crush them?

Has Ben been sleeping this whole season? Has Tomlin been "hiding his playbook"? I honestly would like to know the answers to these questions.

Because otherwise, the "because Browns" doofus argument aside, statistically CLE should beat the pants off PIT, by at least two TDs.

[-King-]

Damn I had Cleveland beating Pittsburgh. But with Vernon out, it's a toss up with me leaning more on the Pitt side.

[Megatron96]

Yeah, could be. And he's not a spring chicken anymore either. So if he misses next season, what are the chances he comes back at all? At least as far as the Browns are concerned?

[Gary Cooper]

If we're playing Baltimore (or for that matter anyone) we need to get our linebackers healthy. All our potential opponents in the divisional round love to run the ball. I'd hate to face these teams without Hitchens, Wilson, or Gay.
