HoosierCat Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 I'd like to know how many of this year's playoff teams also qualified in 2011 and 2012. Maybe New England and the Ravens? That's probably about it.With the qualifier that these are 2013 playoff teams as things stand now:CincinnatiNew EnglandBaltimoreDenverSan Francisco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duus Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 The Bengals can end up with #2, #3, or #4 seed at this point.If they win, the Patriots would have to lose at home for them to get to #2.More likely, with a win the Bengals will lock into #3 and play either the Dolphins, Chargers or Steelers.With a Bengals win, the Dolphins control their own destiny for the #6 seed.With a Bengals win, the Chargers get the #6 seed with a win and Dolphins loss.With a Bengals win, the Steelers get the #6 seed with a win, a Dolphins loss and a Chargers loss.If the Bengals lose, they most likely will end up with the #4 see and play the Chiefs who are locked in with the #5 seed.The Bengals could still get the #3 seed with a loss but that would take the Colts losing at home to the Jaguars.My expectation is that the Bengals end up with the #3 seed and will play the Dolphins, who I expect will bounce back after getting drilled today in Buffalo.For what it is worth, the Dolphins and Chargers are at home playing against teams that have nothing to play for (Jets eliminated and Chiefs locked in to #5).#1 - Denver#2 - New England#3 - Cincinnati#4 - Indianapolis#5 - Kansas City#6 - Miami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COB Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 I'd rather have KC or Indy, but it figures. Probably will be the Dolphins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

essexjohnson Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 If we play the way we are capable of, we can beat anyone in the AFC at home or on the road. I would prefer not to have to play anyone on grass Carolina is looking pretty scary in the NFCI think any of the AFC teams (accept Indy) will have an advantage in a cold weather Super Bowl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwillycuse Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Getting the two seed is now harder than I expected. Ne and Indy have to lose. Apparently we lose tiebreaker to Indy if there is as three way tie. Even tho we beat both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 The #2 seed is nothing more than the Bengals winning and the Patriots losing. The Colts don't play a part win or lose.The Bills head to Foxboro in a division game that allows them to knock the Pats out of the #2 seed.While it might not be much to play for, its something and you know how division games go.

ArmyBengal Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Also, the Bengals can't be any worse than the #4 seed since they are division champs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmyBengal Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 It's simple and don't know why the sports ANALysts want to make things so difficult.If the Bengals win and the Pats lose, we are the #2 seed regardless of anything else.If the Bengals win and the Pats win, we are the #3 seed regardless of anything else.If the Bengals lose and the Colts lose, we are the #3 seed regardless of anything else.If the Bengals lose and the Colts win, we are the #4 seed regardless of anything else.The other teams winning or losing only plays a part in who the wildcard team (#6 seed) is.Everything else has been locked up and the Bengals are division champs, meaning they can't fall to the #6 seed.With that being said, GO BENGALS, GO BILLS !!!The Pats / Bills game is the late afternoon game as well (4:25pm).

gregcook68 Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Good football Sunday here for my family. My wife and son, in addition to pulling for the Bengals, are also Eagles fans, wife being from PA!My son says that Gio reminds him of a smaller version of the Eagles RB McCoy!

cincyhokie Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Yeah, I would think that there would be a 3-way tiebreaker if the Bengals, Colts, and Pats all had an 11-5 record. At least that's the way it works to get in the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cincyhokie Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Nevermind, this is too much headache to get into. NE loses, we win = 2nd seed.I would've liked it if they were playing at 1pm as well. Now the Pats will be able to see if we've won before their 430pm gametime.

ArmyBengal Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Well, if you look at it the other way, the Pats will know if we win and the pressure will be on them to hold that #2 seed.That and the Bills will also know they have the opportunity to rain on their parade.A 3 way tie with the Pats, Colts, and Bengals favors the Bengals as we've beat each of them.

Good point. I would say, however, that if the Bills beat the Patriots at home (where they are 7-0) in a very meaningful game, it would be maybe the upset of the year. I just can't see Brady letting it happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 I can't see Brady letting it happen either, but Cleveland should have won that game back on the 8th in Foxboro.Plus it's a division game and God knows we've seen our fair share go a way we hadn't intended on.GO BILLS !!!

ArmyBengal Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 So, allow me to contemplate something here.Lets say the Bengals end up in the #3 seed after both them and the Pats win.Who do you want to face among the teams still vying for that #6 seed ??There are like 4 teams that could fall in at #6.I wouldn't mind seeing a rematch with the Dolphins coming into Cincinnati.All that being said, I would rather the #2 seed, but that's not the question.

cincyhokie Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 If I had to place money on this, I'm betting Dolphins come here Saturday for the 4pm game.I like that matchup alot. Chargers would be my second bet and I'm ok with that one too. Baltimore won't play us here if they make it, so they are out. There's an outside chance that the Steelers make it in and I would love to see that matchup as well and get some payback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 I think someone asked how Pitt gets in in the game thread. King has the answer today in MMQB:For a moment, let’s say in Week 17 we have the following four results: Jets over Miami, Cincinnati beats Baltimore (who have but a vague hope of getting a bye), Kansas City over San Diego, and Pittsburgh over Cleveland. That would create this logjam for the sixth seed:Team RecordPittsburgh 8-8New York Jets 8-8San Diego 8-8Miami 8-8Baltimore 8-8In a five-way playoff tie, you first break ties within divisions. The Jets would eliminate Miami by virtue of a better division record (3-3 to 2-4). Pittsburgh eliminates Baltimore by having a better division record (4-2 to 3-3). That narrows it to Pittsburgh, San Diego and the Jets.We go to conference-games tiebreaker. Pittsburgh would be 6-6. San Diego and the Jets would be 5-7. That’s it. And Pittsburgh would make it … after being 2-6 at the midway point, losing to Minnesota in London and Oakland in the Black Hole, and giving up 55 points to the wounded Patriots. Crazy league.

gregcook68 Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Question. Do the WC teams automatically receive 5 and 6 seeds? If so does that mean that KC will play away even though their record may be better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
