Yeah - just how do the playoffs stack up with 7 teams this year?
BYE
1. Ravens
Wild Card
2. Chiefs 35
7. Steelers 7
3. Patriots 13
6. Titans 14
4. Texans 22
5. Bills 19
Which would lead to the same result. Yes, the risk is that the Chiefs would have sustained a major injury against the Steelers and that would change the overall outcome, but idk. I think a lot of the worry we have is through the lens of the 90's playoff losses and our losses with Alex Smith, where our QB would be called to win the game against a mediocre team - but Patrick is just going to deliver - often delivering
before a game winning drive is necessary.
If the trade is that we keep Jones, Watkins, and get to load up at IOL and LB? Gosh, I don't know - it's
almost worth it. Keeping that defense respectable puts us in dynasty potential. I'd still prefer we stick to the status quo, though.
