It's a shame, too.
Assuming absolute best case, realistic-ish scenario for us, we squeak in the playoffs as the 6th seed at 9-7. At that point, there's about a 99.9% chance we'd be playing either @ Cinci, @ Denver or @ New England.
Seriously. Either of those games would be a complete slaughterhouse, assuming Peyton doesn't experience his usual late-season slide and Dalton resembles an actual NFL QB come January.
But the 5th seed? They'll be playing either @Indianapolis, @Houston or @ Jacksonville most likely. Now there's a winnable game.
Whoever gets the 5th seed this year will be some lucky mother****ers.
