Can Seattle finish 5th if Vikings lose to Packers? If not the GB/Minn team that loses may have the easier first round even being on the road. I think Seattle has their shit together.

Seattle will be the 5 if Green Bay wins

Since you're sympathetic to Dalton, here's a theory: McCarron and the Bengals beat the Steelers this weeked. Dalton returns the following weekend they look absolutely miserable again.

Oh I thought of that 2 weeks ago. McCarron beating the Steelers would be a nightmare if Dalton played and sucked the next week.

Wonder what the plan with Manning & Osweiler is going forward. Have to figure Manning is the starter next week, but how short is his leash?

That's tough....if Manning started and was replaced due to his poor play. That would be a painful thing to watch.

I'd fire the special teams coach right now if I owned the Texans.

That just can't be allowed to happen.

Hoyer is a bum. Already making terribly inaccurate throws.

Alex Smith just cost his team 6 points.

Horrendous QB play to start the game.

Houston with a gift PI for a 1st down but turnovers are making this game sloppy. KC wasting opportunities big time. Could be about 17-0

Looked like they stopped playing because they thought he wouldn't run it out of the EZ!

Hoyer getting boo'd hard and deservingly so.

I don't understand why teams can't help themselves from blocking in the back. They can't stand it. Complete lack of focus.

Houston only being down 13 is pretty unbelievable.

This game looks like a complete disaster but Houston gets ball first and and only down 13. Lucky it's not 24-27

Refs have been a little tighter with calls than I've witnessed the last 6 weeks of the season.

I think Watt strained his groin in that long pursuit of Smith

If I were a Houston defender I would refuse to go back out on the field if they send Hoyer back out there. Might as well forfeit.

Mike Tirico is awful. He completely missed that the Maclin knee injury was non-contact. He kept trying to look at the "contact" twice and mumbled to himself how it "didn't appear to be much twisting involved."

Unfortunately, for fans of the game, this basically relegates the Chiefs to the Browns level. Maclin is THE vital piece to their offense. They literally don't have a single starting caliber skill player left outside of Kelce, who is a big disappointment this year. Combine that with a QB who is about as conservative as a 50's Catholic chick, it's over.

New England is praying Pittsburgh wins.
Denver is praying Cincinnati wins.

The Chiefs are a lame duck.

The Chiefs were never a threat regardless of Maclin.
