It'd likely be the Chiefs or Dolphins we'd play. If we get in, we'll have already very recently beat the Chiefs. The Dolphins I think are not as good as their record (lot of bad teams they've beaten up on really).

A playoff win with the way our season has been would be an incredible achievement. I'm not saying it's likely, but it's certainly not a no-chancer.

It's only once it's clearly not going to happen that I might start thinking about how a 5th overall pick is better than a 12th overall pick (but even then F the Steelers, beat 'em)... but yeah, if you have an actual real chance at making it, try to make it.

To all of you:

I get it and I could never root against us. Even in the past, when things like this have come up (what was that year with Ellis and Dorsey where we could have had one of them if we lost a game or two more?), I've never been able to root against us.

I'm always going to cheer for us to win, even though it would be a bummer with (likely) no home playoff games.
