If this team wants to build off of the hot start and make the playoffs, they need to win this week, next week, and in Cleveland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 This is a must win if they want to make the playoffs. They can MAYBE drop one more game the rest of the season, but it can't be this week. 9-8 will absolutely not get in the playoffs in the AFC this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluhartz Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Agreed, this is probably the easiest of the remaining games. It sucks all of the opportunities they have blown this year, they could be at least a couple games better. Bears.. just a terrible loss, so conservative until they had to go Jets.. ugh Packers.. easily could have won that game 49ers.. most likely would have won if Mr. no balls doesn't take the ball out of Joes hands in OT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we go 3-1 with the loss to the Chiefs, we'll certainly be in the playoffs, probably as division champ. If 2-2 we might get a wild card. If Browns are still missing a bunch of players on Monday, they could easily lose to Raiders. Ravens are slumping. Pitt isn't very good either.

Beck Bristow Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Not quite the 60 yarder that Lapham called fir at the start if the game, but Mac is a killer man. He makes such a difference for this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broncofan Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) Great character building win for you guys. Burrow played great - it won't show up on the stat sheet, but he avoided any TO-worthy plays, made big throws when he needed to, and used his legs when he needed to. He was so smart in clock management - that sack he took to make it 3rd and 10, and then converting, basically sealed the game once our brain-dead HC Fangio forgot (again) how to manage TO's and the clock. That play to Chase that was called back (holding) in the 2Q was pure magic. Other than Justin Herbert (mainly because he's 2 years younger), there's no 25-and-under QB I'd rather have. Not getting TO's against a Fangio-D that he faced for the first time, it's a rare feat. Tip my cap. And a special shoutout to winning despite not having Awuzie, Logan Wilson and both your starting T's. On paper, you were the better team, but those losses really levelled the playing field. To be transparent, I'm amongst a contingent of fans that love our progress, but don't think we can go any further with Fangio as HC, and without making a big splash move at QB (Russell Wilson/A-Rod plan A). This only helps us, because Fangio was apparently given a playoffs-or-else mandate this year, according to our beat writers. So this is a lose-the-battle, win-the-war type situation for us. Happy for you guys, shore up the OL next year, get a little more CB help, and you guys are cooking with gas (and you belong in the playoffs 100x more than we do this year). Good luck!

Broncos defense is tough for sure. I love Javonte, he is gonna be a top back in this league. What’s going on with Jeudy? I thought he would be a focal point of your offense.

THE DUKE Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 The AFC North is the biggest divisional dog fight that I can remember in a long time. Has a division ever had all four teams with winning records this late in the season? Is it even a possibility for that to happen this year for the AFCN?

Lock for his arm strength but lack of refinement and Teddy for being generally pretty competent but not very talented. Merged together they'd be pretty special.
