I just feel like everyone is going to spend all week talking about Mahomes' ankle or Burrow being a Demigod or Chase against this young secondary or Lou Anarumo being a psychopath...and then in the end it's just going to Samaje Perine bludgeoning Bolton and Gay to death.
like i guess what is worse, assuming worst case for both: not making the playoffs or burrow tearing an achilles. I'd say the achilles but I'm not a doctor [Reply]

Ah, true. Skimmed it.
But they're not pulling off a run like that anyway. I know they went 10-1 down the stretch last year but they literally played 1 good team in that run. [Reply]
If Burrow can get healthy the Bengals can very easily still get the #6 or #7 seed. Look how it lays out.
Division winners:
Chiefs
Ravens
Jags
Dolphins
Wildcards:
Bills
Titans
Who does that leave for the Bengals to fight for the #7 seed?
Chargers (who are also 0-2)
Steelers
Jets (Rodgers out)
Colts
The 7 seed in the AFC may very well get in with a losing record. Start rooting for the Steelers to get in over the Chargers or Bengals that is a much more favorable matchup for KC. [Reply]

Just kinda shows that these W/L = playoffs equations are silly.
1st, most of that is based off a 16 game schedule. 2nd, teams like the Chiefs/Bengals/Bills/Eagles etc are all plenty capable of rattling off long winning streaks.
Bengals could go 0-5 and still make the playoffs. [Reply]
