1 Seed

The Buffalo game is a home game. And a Monday Night game. It does give us a short week against the Ravens in the last game of the year, although maybe that will be bumped to a Sunday night based on its importance.

As others have stated, we need help. Which will come I believe. Raiders are starting to look decent. And they're a division rival. Chiefs barely beat them AT HOME in their first matchup. 30 to 29.... I'm telling you. If the Seahawks don't pull an upset, Raiders might just do that for us. Chiefs also have to face Denver 2 times. We are all aware of the unpredictability of a division game (browns).

IF...... IF!!!! We win out, and I can't emphasize enough on the "IF".... I would bank on the 1 seed being ours. I wouldn't worry about what KC has in front of them. Just win and you'll get that 1 seed.

This team has it's AFC playoff opponents in a death grip. They win when it matters. I'm not worried about Baltimore at all. I'm more worried about the Clowns

Yup...at first I was upset that wilson got traded to denver because that was just one more elite QB in this conference to have to beat.  Turns out that worry was unwarranted

Better than the 2021 top three picks so far.. 1. Trevor Lawrence  2. Zach Wilson  3. Trey lance

If somehow that last game is for the AFC North, Bengals by 30.

Yep the Ravens are stumbling to the finish line. Barely won their last two games even.

Actually didn't win last week against Jags....you know the Jags?  The team that got beat by Detroit 40-14.  But Trevor Lawrence was still the better prospect than Burrow coming out of college   and is coming along nicely.

They absolutely have to win out if they want a chance at the 1 seed. I think there’s a good chance that KC loses another, even with a super soft schedule.

If they lose one, I don’t have a ton of confidence in both the Bills AND Chiefs losing 2 of the last 5 games.

What should scare teams of Bengals, is they are peaking at the right time, just like last year.

[sandwedge]

Honestly, there isn't a team remaining on our schedule that scares me. God have mercy on the clowns next Sunday! Bills are unbeatable which has been proven lately. Ravens, get the hell out of here! This team is cooking right now!!

[Science Friction]

Our remaining schedule is not as difficult as the pundits are making it out to be. We may be favored in all remaining games.

They gotta play us.... Bengals are the scary team!  

Think these analysts/casuals still see the word Bengals and think it's a below average team. 

[Bengalfan4life27c]

Realistic path win out and Chiefs lose to Raiders in final week of season. Then we open at home against Titans, Dolphins or Raiders. Wont face Bills or Chiefs until AFC Championship game.

Most likely a nothing burger but Mahomes said today he has a badly bruised foot and if it gets better he should play Sunday... can the Broncos stop Chad Henne???

For the Broncos, I don't think it's a matter of stopping anyone, it's a matter of being able to score at all. Their offense is embarrassingly bad.

I couldn't enjoy the win over KC because of how bad the Broncos simply gave away the win to the Ravens.... Im still pissed.  Would have been a nice to have that 1 game lead.

Yep

I've watched a good bit of a couple Broncos games this season and they are just right down.....AWFUL It's way beyond normal awful, it's hopeless awful. I mean I'd bet some of our very bad 90's teams would beat them.

Russell isnt good, but their coach is. total idiot.  I posted this during the game:

On their last drive with the lead they had an incomplete pass on 2nd down stoping the clock, on 3rd down they attempted a 50 yard bomb that wasnt close, stopping the clock again with a 6 point lead, could have ran over a minute off the clock. On defense they stopped Baltimore on 2nd and long, illegal man downfield penalty - only 5 yards - instead of declining the penalty with the Ravens backed up already, they accepted it and gave Ravens 2nd down again - Ravens then get 1st down after 2 plays for 5 yards!  Total idiot - no idea how he is still with the team.

When Zac said we get Cleveland Sunday in the KC game ball speech you could tell the team was fired up big time for this one.

Bring'em on! 

Plus fixed it for you with the Bills, they are beatable.
