Week 13 Rooting Guide (and now "other games thread")
I had this brilliant idea to use cdcox's software to put together a guide for who we should be rooting for to best help the Chiefs chances of making the playoffs. I always like stuff like that because it helps to tease out some of the nuances that you probably wouldn't have guessed:
![]() The main one that's interesting to me in that is the Chargers game. Who would have thought that it's actually in our best interests for the Chargers to win today? That's mainly because the Chargers have a BRUTAL schedule to end the season, so it's unlikely they're going to be a threat for the WC spot anyway, so it's better for them to win now and take the Ravens down a notch. (I should probably add that games not listed have essentially zero impact on our playoff chances.) I was very proud of the great insight I gleaned from this analysis. That is...until I ran it with the Chiefs/Broncos game in there: ![]() So basically, we can root for other teams all we want, but nothing matters NEAR as much as just taking care of our own business.

Great game though from what I saw. Flowers just saved them.

WTF was Flowers doing anyway? He had to know they'd try and work the sidelines with no timeouts left..

Hate to see SD win, but I guess it is what is best for KC.... fun finish at least.

So far today has been perfect. The exact opposite of last week.
Three more wins on the wishlist... Green Bay, New York Jets, CHIEFS!!! |

I've been pretty excited about this NE/GB game all week. Hope the Pack slaughter them.

not even close to the same situation. there was a lot of time left in both games, and he got to heavily depend on the run on both drives. i'm talking about 2 minute drills when you have to air it out, and there is no possibility of getting the ball back. aka denver, 49ers.

This is great for us. 3 of 4 AFC north WC opponents lose and SD has to play the 2 best teams in the conference the following two weeks.
If we win tonight, then we would only have to win 2 of our 4 remaining games to get in.

I'm still pissed about Oakland. We'd be 8-3 and all these teams would be 7-5 right now except Sandyeggo. Plz win today.
