Week 14 - Dec 8 - Cleveland

Brownies, yum!

End this early; no excuses.  They just finished getting pounded by Ratbirds, and we have them on short week while we coasted.

Start of weird schedule quirks.  Good news; long break before MNF on West coast @San Fran.  Bad news; said MNF game followed by Saturday game back east at 1. 

I saw we had Sat game, but thought it was just late season extra exposure with no real college FB.  Didn't connect it was Xmas eve and whole league except GB/Det was playing early.

And yes, this has almost nothing to do with Browns, but they aren't impressing ATM.

Do we play this like we played the Bungles, or like we played the Chefs?

If we eke out a 13-10 kinda win I'm gonna need Depends.

I don't know, but earning the 5th seed with a 13-3 record would surely suck.

Based on what's happened so far I'd expect another Chefs game.  But I'm hoping they have their shit together and blow those CLE bitches out.

I don't know, but earning the 5th seed with a 13-3 record would surely suck.

That it would.  Should have taken care of the Ratties that second time.  But winning in the playoffs at B'more would fix it all.

Was talking about this at the bar.  Would a five seed and a first rounder against the west champ be all that bad?

Besides, I think the baltimaroons drop another before it's all said and did.

Would a five seed and a first rounder against the west champ be all that bad?

No, that wouldn't be bad. The next one or two might be.

[pensodyssey]

The second round would likely be a trip to Foxboro, and it's about time we did something up there.

Indeed.  Much is owed to the Patsies and Herr Bellychump.

I was just thinking about the seeding the other day as I realized fucking Teblow could wind up being our WC opponent.  According to the CBS playoff race seedings, the pecking order is:

1. Patriots
2. Ravens
3. Texans
4. Broncos
5. Steelers
6. Bengals

And Titans, Raiders, and Jets are also at 7-5 but behind the Bengals on tie-breakers.  (All the 7-5 teams have 2 significant opponents each on their schedules, but if the Texans coast in the final game it could actually gift the Titans.)

The 6 v. 3 would be a tough call, if Bengals and Texans could go either way.  I would hope we would crush Tebow, but if the Texans strugglew with a rookie QB and the Bengals win, the next round would be Beangals at Pats and Steelers at Ravens.  Bengals upset Beardy, Steelers get revenge, we could host the AFCC against the Bengals.
