Only because torn ACLs, concussions, etc. suck. But they suck for the backups too so it’s kinda moot.

Cleveland will not ignore the chance to keep the Ravens out of the playoffs. Too bad, cause fuck the Steelers.

If the Texans, Pats, and Ravens all win on Sunday (and as long as the Colts/Titans game doesn't end in a tie)...then Pats are #2 seed, Texans #3 seed, Ravens #4 seed, Chargers #5 seed, and winner of Colts/Titans is #6 seed.
Chargers would go to Baltimore, winner of Colts/Titans would go to Houston. Lowest seed of those winners would to to KC, higher seed of those would go to New England.
Now if Baltimore wins and either the Pats or Texans lose, Baltimore can move up to #3 or even #2 seed. Also Texans loss means Colts or Titans (I think either or) can be AFC South champs. It's going to be a crazy Sunday.

Yes. I was only talking about the #1 seed.
First round (Wildcard):
#3 vs #6
#4 vs $5
#1 & #2 get a bye
Second Round:
#1 vs lowest seed (not necessarily #4/5)
#2 vs whoever is left
Third Round:
Higher seed hosts lower seed
It used to be as you described. Used to be:
#4--------_______Winner__________Winner
#5---------_______#1 seed------------------------|-----------SuperBowl Team
#3---------_______Winner__________Winner
#6---------_______#2 Seed
Now it's more convoluted, giving the highest remaining seed the "advantage" of hosting the lowest available seed.

Look at you getting your hopes up that either of our teams will do anything besides let us down.

I think we can make it to the AFC title game if we win the 1 seed. I don't expect the Chargers to keep their charging together to win 2 road playoff games. I would love to be wrong though.

You are right, this year the 1 seed gets the lowest seed winner from the wild card. As it stands right now we would get the Patriots. I will never count them out as long as they have Brady but I like the Chargers as a match up for the Pats.NFL Playoff Picture - NFL.com

Since 1990. Before that there was 3 divisions and 2 wild cards per conference. The wild card winner would play the 1 seed, and the other 2 division winners would play each other. In 1990 they added a 3rd wild card team in each conference and the lowest seeded division winner would play the lowest seeded wild card team in the first round. Then with the 2002 expansion you ended up with the current format.

what Browns should do is lose in overtime (if possible) and on purpose. Fuck the winning season when you can fuck with the Steelers and hopefully get Tomlin fired and have Rapistburger go full Favre again babbling about retiring for the next 6 months. These obnoxious cunts have treated Browns as easy 2 W's for years. Thank you Hue. A blind moth in a coma would coach a team better. Hell, even Jon Gruden coaches better. There would be nothing better than watching Steelers sulk. Actually, having seahawks miss the post-season would be better but NFL had instructed the refs thruout the season to drag the chickens into the post with non-calls because they get a hardon for wilson for some reason.
Also, I see that Saints wheeled out Gleason again. Outstanding

Tomlin is not going anywhere. He's won a Super Bowl, he's perennially in the playoffs, and most importantly it's the Steelers. He's going to be coach for the next 20 years.
Hope I'm wrong.

Steelers fans talking about how their division is harder than the Pats falls flat when Brady and Belichick have owned their asses for the last decade. It's pretty tough to say the Pats don't deserve to be there after they kick your ass.

Fitz had just undone Suh's chin strap right before this, this is taken out of context of course, don't think he hurt him obviously. Still pretty stupid.

Don’t be fucking retarded. I never said the Pats didn’t deserve to be there. They clearly do. The Steelers’ division is harder though. It’s a fact. A fact that nobody has even attempted to dispute, by the way. You want to give it a shot? Right.
I was responding to a Dolphins fan who has bought into this moronic narrative that the Dolphins have some special ability to beat this Patriots team. Newsflash to this forum and to all NFL fans everywhere: the Dolphins get their asses handed to them by the Pats constantly just like everyone else does. We just notice it with the Steelers because the Steelers are usually actually good, unlike the Dolphins.
Jesus a lot of you people have Steelers Derangement Syndrome.

What reason is there to bring up the Pat's division if not to suggest that they don't deserve to get to the playoffs, or at least deserve it as much as you do? If the Pats are better than the Steelers, then it's safe to assume that they would be in the playoffs if they were in the Steelers division also. It's not like they're sliding in at 7-9 every year and then getting lucky.
