Then, the Broncos play out of their minds and beat the Chiefs in Week 18.

Chiefs then end up with the 2 seed and all that lost momentum to go play the Broncos or Ravens.

Yeah, **** that.

I agree, that would suck big time but you dont play scared, you play to win the game. We have to win 2/3 to get HFA. Which teams would you chose to play those two games? I'll take Tesans at home and the Broncos on the road.

But, its a moot point. No way Reid doesnt play the starters at Pitt.

This is the way I see it. Pat is both frazzled and hurt. REST HIM AGAINST HOUSTON. Period. Give him a week and a half to heal up and get his head on straight. Then start him against Pittsburgh and, if necessary, Denver.

Neat. He'll be playing next Sunday and Wednesday.

Pat determines if he plays or doesn’t

No, Chiefs clinched the two seed at a minimum today.

We need to determine if the Steelers lock in seeding with a win against the Ravens.

If they do, they might rest starters on the 25th.

No. That’s what I’m responding to. If they are 11-4 and the Bills are 12-3, the Steelers aren’t locked in to anything. As I said, they can outright pass the Bills or tie them, in which case you would have to look up who wins that tie breaker given they would both be 8-2 in the conference after next week’s games.

Well, that's not happening then.

Well, he shouldn't.

Pat doesn't determine if he plays
Andy does.

What will enhance his GOAT career stats is a three-peat and his fourth SB MVP. Not gonna happen if he plays when he’s injured risking further injury. Wentz is good enough to get this team past Houston or Pittsburgh. He’s probably the best backup QB this team has in the Mahomes era.

I don’t think he’s good enough to lead KC to a SB win. This is why they need Mahomes as healthy as he can be starting, especially considering the the issues with the Oline.

Not to be a stickler for maybe long shot details but....

We lose all 3 and the Steelers win out, they are the #2 seed.

Jets are playing better, maybe they can pull off an upset against Buffalo… because the Faketriots sure as hell are not.

What a gift for Buffalo to get the Faketriots twice in their last three games.

Is he? We've been squeaking wins all season against non-playoff teams with Mahomes at QB. What makes you think they still beat two playoff opponents with Wentz?

Considering they also have 3 games in 10 days, I could see Tomlin doing that.

I don't think Houston is any good, Wentz can probably win that one.

Would be less confident against Pittsburgh.
