View topic - Playoff Scenarios

I wanted to check into all of the possible scenarios for Sunday, so as to see what puts the most pressure on Cincy to win at home against the Flying Purple Penis Eaters. (see attached NFL.com link)

Seems like the Jets and Tennesee are the only contenders who play at 1, both of whom can put some pressure on the Bungles, and the rest of the drama all unfolds at 4:15. You'll notice I left out New England. That's because, if you look closely at the chart in the link posted from the NFL website, the NFL apparently didn't even bother to factor in the possibility that Buffalo wins that one. Funny, because, if my math is correct, a Cincy Win, a Pitt win, and a Cheatriot loss means we're actually the #1 seed, NOT New England. I guess Adolph has already informed his minions what the outcome of that game will be. New England is #1 and everybody else can just fight for 2-6. Typical.

I could have swore the Bengals/Ravens game was at 1pm earlier in the week; thus giving Tomlin an easier decision to playing Ben or not. Did der Fuhrer push the time back without announcing it?

The Bengals/Ravens game WAS originally scheduled for 1:00, as was the Steelers game. The NFL "flexed" both games to 4:15, as well as the Raiders/SD game so as to allow more nielsen dollars to go into the fuhrer's coffers. An email went out from nfl.com notifying people of all the schedule changes some time early in the week; Monday or Tuesday, I think.
