With still four weeks in the regular season for most teams, there are still some outlandish playoff scenarios. I think I'm addicted to to that playoff simulator thingy. lol

A couple of fun ones:

A 11-win Bengals team could travel to Vegas to play a 9-win Raiders team in a rematch of the '21 game. Of course, this requires us to win out, the Chiefs to lose out, and the Raiders to win out.

The Bengals could still grab the #1 seed. This would , of course, require the Bengals winning out, the Ravens losing out, the Dolphins to lose three of four, and the Browns to lose a couple.

I LOVE this time of year!!! Thanks, QB6 !!!


What are some of favorite wild scenarios?

Yeah I won't touch that simulator thing, I can't keep track of all the teams that need to lose to help the bengals at this point. They need to win out and that's the only control they have! If Browning wins out they'll have a 6 game win streak going into the playoffs, just running them off like Burrow did.

Wild doesn’t do those justice lol

I agree. But don't totally dismiss the second one. The Ravens have a tough remaining schedule(at Jacksonville, at 49'ers, Dolphins, Pittsburgh). Conceivable they could lose the first three and Pitt always seems to play them tough, no matter what.  Dolphins can't be trusted to win 2 of 4. Browns could lose a couple.

<1% probably, but not impossible.

Thanks didn’t know the Ravens had that. It is tough.

I was looking at one this morning where... before today' games... we were meeting the Chiefs in the 1st round.

Yep, that could definitely happen.

Pretty cool

I just hope we get in. One game at a time

Who Dey.

Yep. I'll take any spot in the Dance.  Anything can happen once you're dancing.

Imagine if the team didn't start the season as a sh*t show.

"Browninghead" here we come! 

wut does the simulator say now

I think that's pretty likely if we make it in. If we're in, it's likely as #7 I'd think. Chiefs are a pretty likely #2.

OP... as said 'wild' doesn't do those scenarios justice lol.

Mehh.

If we win out - we are definitely in (I think).

If we lose only 1 game - probably

2 losses - probably not.

Thinking we need to win out. We have always beaten up on the NFC, but our conference record sucks and our division record is absolutely horrible and we will not have a winning record in those, regardless. 

Honestly- probably better that the Ravens win tonight. Put jags at 8-6 and if somehow Texans steal that division we would have tie breaker on another wildcard team.

Would love to! Sure would make things easier. lol

Just don’t think we will. But who knows.

Doubtful that the other teams we’re competing with win out too though and good for us.

Heck, the almighty Stains almost lost to the Bears.

Lowly Titans almost knocked off the Texans (granted, no Stroud)

Bills crushed the Cowboys? Didn’t see that one coming.

So much craziness going on and thus, uncertainty.

Fun to watch ….. and equally unnerving lol

Word.....Just get in!
