The Latest Denver Broncos Playoff Scenarios

by John Bena on Dec 28, 2009 12:14 AM MST in Strictly My Opinion

Not much has changed since the last post, but I thought it relevant to share a few more scenarios that would get the Broncos into the postseason, including those involving a Loss to the Chiefs on Sunday - I know, I cringe with the thought as well....

Here are all the scenarios - not counting games that end in a tie - as it stands right now(unofficial)

The Broncos will get in the playoffs with a....

1. Win over Chiefs plus losses by at least two of the following: Baltimore (at Oakland), Jets (vs. Cincinnati), Pittsburgh (at Miami) OR

2. Win over Chiefs plus Jets loss AND wins by Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Houston (vs. New England)

3. Loss to Chiefs plus Pittsburgh loss AND losses by at least three of the following: Baltimore, Houston, Jacksonville and Jets

4. Loss to Chiefs plus losses by Baltimore, Houston, Jacksonville and Jets

The goal here is to try and make it as easy as possible for you guys and gals to follow. Several websites out there are confusing people by showing what the Playoffs would look like if they started TODAY. That's great, except things like Common Opponent tie breakers don't kick in until next week.

There is a pulse, however light it might be. Keep the faith - until ALL HOPE is lost.

GO BRONCOS!

This is the easiest way I see it

Jets win they are in rank (1)
Baltimore wins they are in rank (2)

Houston win Denver (3) Houston (4)
New England win Pittsburgh (3) Denver (4)

If 1 or 2 lose go to 3
If both 1 and 2 loses go to 3 and 4
If 3 teams lose then obviously the other 2 are in.

I don’t think that more than3 of these 5 teams lose

... if you have a belief, you will tend to find things that support it. But if you have a prejudice, you’ll move heaven and earth to maintain it. BroncoBear

Would have been a lot easier if we just played with a little bit of consistency

and won the games we were supposed to. I am getting ready for the draft. Different coaches and players but the same results we have seen for way to long.
Lets finish rebuilding this team and see what we have, it is going to be a bit longer but what the hey, we are all used to it by now. I have not thrown in the towel on this team that past 10 years so it looks like I will look towards new things once again. For now I will turn out the lights and see ya all in April…

Um

Aye.

Basically if BAL and NYJ both win then we go to two heads up tie breakers and against NYJ and lose in common game % and H2H against BAL.

Ugh.

Why does Madden suck at ranking the Broncos so much?

new england

I’ve thought for a few weeks that Denver is going to New England in the Wild Card weekend – it just seems to be McD’s fate. Even with all these crazy scenarios and the fact that the Broncos have not been playing well for a month now, I’m still sticking with that prediction.
