Ravens Away: 50/50
Bills Home: 50/50
Whats up with Miami having 4 of the last 5 games at home? I still think going 3-2 could easily happen for them.
Ravens Schedule:
Jags Away: 50/50
49ers Away: L
Phins Home: 50/50
Steelers Home: W
Again I could see them going (2-2) during these last 4 games.
Now Chiefs:
Pats Away: W
Raiders Home: W
Bengals Home: 50/50
Chargers Away: W
Of course AFC West games can be tricky no matter the record but I think this boils down to Bengals. We should win out but lets see what happens.
At this point I don't think they're overly focused on anything but their next game and getting better. That's it, and that's all they can do, nothing more, but nothing less.
I think the whole organization knows they're in deep trouble right now and each and every person on the payroll has a large task in front of them if they want to be competitive in this year's playoffs.
They all need to look in the mirror and understand the person they're looking as is part of this team and part of the solution.
Coach better, play better, win. That's the only way forward. [Reply]

No idea how they consider themselves fans, speaking only of ~5 and probably not even 10 of the worst chicken littles.
It’s so weird.
We spent 30 years knowing we were at a disadvantage just hoping to make it to the postseason where” anything can happen!”
Now we’ve got the best coach-QB combo in the league with, by far, the most postseason experience in the league and mfs want to give up before a single snap is played in January. [Reply]

The same people saying it's hopeless would have been making SB plans if Toney had been lined up a few inches back. :-) [Reply]

It's a game of inches.
The Chiefs consistently don't have those inches. [Reply]

The Bills are like us, a team that finds ridiculous ways to lose games. So beating Buffalo doesn’t fix anything fundamental here. Maybe it keeps the hope of the 1 seed alive a bit longer. [Reply]

I mean, if you want to write off what will likely be a 12-5 team led by Mahomes/Reid/Kelce and a top 5ish defense, because you're convinced that they're going to make a silly mistake at a crucial moment, that's your prerogative. I'm guessing this is mostly schtick though. [Reply]

The Chiefs make silly mistakes all throughout the game, dude.
That's why they are lucky to score 20 points in a game these days.
This is as weak as the AFC has been in recent memory. There are no dominant teams. Baltimore and Miami are going to take some lumps the last month of season and perhaps sustain some serious injuries in some of those physical games.
If we were in the NFC right now with San Fran, Dallas and
Philly I'd be concerned. Im sorry though I'm not gonna sit here and say I dont think we can get through a stretch
consisting of say Denver, Jacksonville, @Baltimore (or similar depending on how the standings shake up come January). [Reply]

They've also beaten two of the top contenders in the AFC.
Sorry if I'm not ready to match everybody's negativity about a team that could/should have 1-2 losses max. If they were getting rolled, couldn't move the ball, couldn't stop anybody, etc, I'd probably throw in the towel too. We're far from that. Literally all they have to do is avoid dumb penalties and costly turnovers. [Reply]

You're welcome to believe whatever you want. I haven't given up by I'm always on Team Reality and the reality is you don't win Super Bowls now without legit NFL WR's. Maybe we catch a few good matchups and move on to AFC Championship. I will always cheer for the win but this roster is just flawed. [Reply]
