What's the lowest possible record a team could make the playoffs with?
 

4-12?

1-12-3

You're utterly useless.

That didn't help me find the answer.

Chiefs – beat raiders twice, beat broncos, beat chargers, lose rest = 4-12


Raiders –beat broncos twice, lose rest = 2-14


Broncos - beat chiefs, beat chargers lose rest = 2-14


Chargers – beat chiefs, beat raiders twice, beat broncos, lose rest = 4-12

So there's still a chance!

You forgot about ties.

What are the odds of that happening? :p

What are the odds of a team winning the division at 4-12?

That was the point of the ":p"

:p

I think in the history of the modern NFL, the worst record a team has made the playoffs with is 8-8

Wouldn't it be 3-13?

Each team in a division splits all divisional games and loses the rest?

Then tiebreakers would determine who made it.

Yes.

Chiefs - 0-10-6
Broncos- 0-10-6
Raiders- 0-10-6
Chargers 0-10-6

Then you go to tiebreakers.

You could also have every team go : 1-11-4

wouldn't it be possible to do it at 0-10-6
All divinisional games end in a tie?

odds would have to be astronomical. That's, what, 24 tie games in a single season?

12

Two ties are the same as a win and a loss, so basically 3-13, 2-12-2, 1-11-4, and 0-10-6 are all the same record as far as playoffs go.

Chiefless has it, imo. Percentage wise, theoretically, 0-10-6

Winning % 0.0

All division games end in tie. All teams in division lose everything else. One team in division gets division title on a tiebreaker, without a single win.

Except the NFL considers W-L-T percentage, where a tie counts the same as half-a-win and half-a-loss .

3/16 = 0.5*6/16

In this senario what would be the deciding tie-breaker? Coin flip between all four teams?

Take a look at the Chargers' and Broncos' opponents next year, and that may give you the answer. Our whole division got hosed.

:spock:

I can't see Denver and San Diego winning more than nine or 10 games next season.

First applicable tiebreaker would be strength of schedule.

That still amounts to 3 wins doofus-head.

We'd probably set a record for the worst possible SOS for a division.

I really want us to beat the Eagles. I'm gonna go to that game all decked out in Chiefs gear. I can't ****ing wait.

But it looks a lot worse.

I think a win against Washington is realistic. The Redskins are chokers and got beat by the Bengals this past season.

realistically I would think 8-8 would be the worst record. Personally, I don't think you should be allowed to even make the playoffs with that record.

Actually, our opponents in the AFC and NFC conference that we played, would have collected 4 wins minimum, before the remaining 12 games would be considered. For that reason alone, we would have a decent SOS as a division.

hahaha, so did we.... but yes. I think that we can realistically get 8 wins. Granted, we "realistically" should have had 6 wins last season... but we don't have Hermoid now!!!

I would have to say cheating on the salary cap and having your linemen spray themselves with cooking oil before the games.
