NFL 2021

Maybe. But also seems like it’s a rest focus. SEEDING DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU'RE NOT THE 1 SEED. Get guys rest. I think the Chiefs should rest Mahomes, Kelce and Hill for a half at the very least.

[pdub]

Seeding absolutely matters.
Matchups matter.
Home field matters.

Also there have been instances where resting starters for the entire game before has backfired.

[pdub]

We want the 2 if we cant get the 1.
Chance at Raiders.
Home for first two games.

[Cascadia]

1 and 2 seed definitely matter. After that it's not as important.

Chiefs need to play to win and get the (at worst) 2 seed.

[pdub]

I might agree that the difference between 3 and 4 may not mean much as you're likely going on the road regardless for your 2nd game...but you'd rather be a 3 or 4 than a 5 or 6.

You want at least open at home.

[Cascadia]

Sure, but if health is an issue and you need rest, I’m not sure there’s a real
Difference between having to win 3 road games vs 2.

So healthy team to win 3 road games vs less healthy team to win 1 home game and then 2 road games.

[pdub]

But the first game is the home game.

It makes a difference that particular game.

I’m guessing Burrow and co can’t drop to the 5. Otherwise they’d be dumb to give up an opening home game.

[Sparko]

Cinnci won the North. So, no worse than a 4

[pdub]

Right.
I think it's wise of them to avoid a possible rematch with KC.

[pdub]

Records possibly being broken today for franchises...sacks, receptions, yards...but this isn't being mentioned, one extra game to do so.

[pdub]

Cincy doesn't want the possible rematch in Arrowhead. They'd rather face the Titans and hope Henry isn't back.

[pdub]

Three minutes left in Steelers Ravens.

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

Lovie Smith could have helped give the Chiefs a big gift today. Nope. Fucker.

[pdub]

I wouldn't be afraid to play the Titans unless Henry was back healthy.

If Chargers and Raiders tie, they're both in.

Sparko, go....

[CrimsonNBlue]

If Chargers and Raiders tie, they're both in.

Sparko, go....

Would love to see nothing but kneel-downs and punts. Love chaos in the NFL.

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

Refs in the 49ers/Rams game are worthless.

[jhawks99]

SF with a monster drive to tie it

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

9ers

[CrimsonNBlue]

That's a catch.
