Pittsburgh loses because their #1 RB will sit. Cincy was promised a playoff win this season. Bet on it. Any team whose #1 RB sits will lose their playoff game, whether genuine injury or just part of the script. Learned that lesson last season...

I don't know why all the recap and alternate scenarios, ad infinitum, blah blah blah, but Denver would have had to suffer two more losses than they did to get the number six slot. Indeed, depending on who they lost to, they could have been eliminated if they lost two more than they did. Their division record was only just better than the Jets' as it was. Whereas the Chiefs have the best division record in the AFC.
Tiebreakers only apply when there's a tie, Z3.0. Did you not get the game over there in England? Did you not get to see the CBS talking heads saying that the AFC West was either going to get the number one and five seeds or the number three and five seeds? Or are you really here to spread disinformation on every topic?
Stick to cricket.
Don't jinx my Chiefs, man.
They've won ten straight since Jamaal Charles got hurt. I don't see Houston ending that. And Pittsburgh may have lost their #1 running back, but Cincinnati lost their #1 quarterback.
I hope the Steelers win Sunday. That would create the real possibility of the AFC Championship game doubling as the AFC West Championship game.

Carolina's #1 seed for the first time in team history. Go Panthers!
If I had to predict, I think that we will see a rematch with Seattle in divisional round. Will be a very intense game. Carolina has a leaky secondary with major injuries to the CB position. I expect Russell Wilson will try to exploit that.

San Diego didn't fire their coach but did can six of his assistants. Coach has one year left on his contract. San Diego along with the Raiders and St Louis Rams have filed a request to move their teams to the LA area. Owners are scheduled to discuss the possibilities next week. The Rams already own the land they will need and can finance their stadium by themselves if necessary.
Naaaa, no jinx. I meant the #1 RB when they entered playoff time, Deangelo Williams in this instance.
Im hoping for a Skins/Panthers playoff game. That would be fun for CLT.

Wow, the Steelers are in hostile territory in the pouring rain. Something popped off before the game, and now the refs are trying to keep brawls from happening on the field while the announcer at the stadium keeps telling the crowd to settle down. And now Roethlisberger just got sacked hard and might not be back.

They just told anyone with a Steelers logo to get off the field, they are getting stuff thrown at them from the crowd. That hit to the head I don't think was intentional, but that hit was getting flagged either way. Looked like it was Pacman who got flagged for shoving a Steelers coach. Pacman used to have a bad rep, but he seemed to have straightened that stuff out over the last few years. I suspect someone on the other side knew how to get under his skin.

Did you miss the game earlier this year where he ripped off Amari Cooper's helmet and repeatedly slammed his head into it? Adam Jones is the same old thug he always was - he'll be in a jail cell for some brutal assault or murder within 2 years of leaving the NFL, you can bank on it.

Cinci thugs. That whole game was disgraceful. They should have called it 1/2 way through the third quarter. Total mayhem. Just asking for injuries. Forget the penalties and fines - Burfict should be in prison.
And the fans? Cheering for injuries? Throwing cans and bottles at a guy getting carted off the field? Keep it classy, Cinci.

I heard about his helmet getting ripped off, but didn't realize Jones was involved. It's a shame because the dude has talent, but he can't do a lot with it because he keeps getting suspended. After the Titans got rid of him, he went to Dallas, where Jerry Jones hired some guys to literally stay with him and tell him no when he wants to go do stupid stuff. So he got into fights with those guys instead.

That was a war- a crazy AFC playoff match in crappy weather. Talk about trying to lose a game you were in complete control of. Bengals had Steelers right where they wanted them- shutting down their offense and moving well on offense. Then that crazy last couple minutes. Never seen anything like it. Wild card teams win both games today. Burfict was cut last season for being too nasty.
As a Denver fan, I am happy. I was worried about facing KC- Denver played poorly both times they faced them and they looked impressive against those Houston Oilers (OK- I know they aren't the Oilers anymore). That game was over after the first play- running the opening kickoff back for a touchdown was all they needed.
You don't want to cheer people getting hurt but Steelers got banged up (including Big Ben) besides the emotional drain of such a game while Broncos had a week to rest up. Manning will start- Osweiler hasn't even been to practice all week so he must have a serious knee injury- maybe that was part of naming Manning as starter.

They never were the Oilers. The real Oilers are in TN now. Just like the Ravens are the real Browns.
