Some of the wins/losses are due to how good the teams we are playing are. Some are because a punt returner can’t catch a damn punt. Some like the Jets are because our defense randomly decided to suck after being great most of the year.
That being said, I’m not overly confident we win either of the last two games. I felt good we’d win the last two after our last loss and said so on here. These next two games don’t give me a great feeling. Not because we won the last two but because of who we play. KC is obviously a very tough team to beat, id think most people on here probably expect a loss.
Cleveland has an amazing run game when it’s working. They ran through our D last time like a hot knife through butter. Our defense was in its slump that game so hopefully it doesn’t happen again but with that running game and guys like Ward and Garrett on D they can be VERY hard to beat when they play well.
Hell they almost beat LV with half the team out and their 3rd string QB. Then almost beat GB while throwing 4 picks. I’m hoping this team comes out and plays great to beat KC this weekend, but I’m not expecting it and certainly won’t bash them for losing to KC.
Last game of the season could very well be for all the marbles and I’d call it 50/50 at that point. I’ve felt for a long time like we somehow make the playoffs. Not sure exactly how it happens but I have a feeling we get in and win a game (don’t want to play the Chargers in the WC though), other than that not overly afraid of any of the teams we’re likely to face in the WC game. I’ll be rooting for the scenario you mentioned below for just that reason….even better a tie between Cle/Pitt this week and a Ravens loss. Think that would seal it up this week even if we lose. Even if it’s unlikely.
Thank you for the detailed reply.
I am very worried that we won't beat the Chiefs. And I am more afraid of facing the Browns with the title on the line.
I will be rooting hard believe it or not for the Steelers to eliminate the Browns Monday night.
I am sorry, please my brothers and sisters don't get me wrong, but I will laugh my head off if the same Steelers that have been pathetic all year long beats both the Browns[which I hope] and the Ravens[which I don't hope] and "STEALS" the division. Especially after we swept them this year.
