patriots out-do them on common games i think - bills can only win the division if they have a better record - im pretty sure that the pats win all tiebreaker scenarios at this point
I think that's correct. Bills win at Foxboro next week would still knock the NE out of bye week - in that case Chiefs would most likely end up 2nd seed.
 
isn't the tiebreaker

head to head
division games
conference games
  1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs).
  2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.
  3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games (games played against the same opponents).
  4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
  5. Strength of victory (the combined won-lost-tied percentage of all the teams that a club has defeated).
  6. Strength of schedule (the combined won-lost-tied percentage of all the teams that a club has played against).
  7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
  8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
  9. Best net points in common games.
  10. Best net points in all games.
  11. Best net touchdowns in all games.

If it ever got to #11 that would really be something.

thank you
 
we're so good that ill be disappointed if we dont win a superbowl - but im not scared of a single team in the nfl - we're better than every single other team and honestly its not really close - the only thing that can get in the ravens way is the ravens - but im not worried about anecdotal reasons for why us being this good is a bad thing

for reference: 12 of the last 20 superbowl attendees over the last 10 superbowls have been the 1 seed in their conference
Im scared of Kc..
 
I'm not scared of them anymore. As if we needed any more incentive to beat them, they claimed Sizzle when he wanted to come back to us. I think everyone on the team is going to be even more fired up to beat them now.
that was my point. They basically signed their death wish.
 
Suggs goes all wrestling style and in the playoffs if we play the Chiefs he rips off his Chiefs jersey and has a Ravens one underneath and walks over to our sideline.
 
Im scared of Kc..
Don't be. Be scared of a let down by the Ravens. I am sincere when I say this. There is no team that can beat the Ravens right now, not till we have Lamar Jackson playing Lamar Ball! That didn't come out right at all but you know what I mean~
 
This Dan Patrick segment starts off talking about the famous defer moment that happened yesteday, but the interesting part is when Troy Aikman starts talking about Barry Sanders and how humble he was and still is. Now I don't want to put Lamar in his class, but he is comparied to him as a runner and he's also talked about as being very humble. Thought it was an interesting segment

 
Also, this guy thinks that the Force Awakens is better than Return of the Jedi, Rogue One, and Revenge of the Sith, after a dropoff and another huge dropoff. I liked TFA, but I don't know about that.
