Tasher Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 Next Year we play the NFC West and the AFC East plus 2nd place AFC South / AFC West if we finish 2nd in the division and in a Wild Card; and we get higher draft picks; if we win the division, we would play 1st place teams in AFC East and AFC West.So which would you rather have to set up success for next year?NFC WestSeattleSt LouisSan FranArizonaAFC EastNew EnglandMiamiNew York JetsBuffaloIndy/JaxDenver/San Diego (assuming KC does not overcome one of these for 2nd or the division) Quote

agreen_112 Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 I don't care how we get there, the only thing that I care about is making the playoffs. Quote

membengal Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 I want them to win as much as they can, and let the schedule chips fall where they may for 2007... Quote
HairOnFire Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 I want them to win as much as they can, and let the schedule chips fall where they may for 2007... Yeah, what he said. And taking it a step further...you always play for the division championship because winning it means you don't need help or tiebreakers falling in your favor. Beat the Ravens this week and the gloomy playoff picture suddenly brightens considerably. Quote
Stripes Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 Yeah, screw the wildcard and whatever benefits it'd afford the Bengals next year. I want the division championship. Quote
