December 27, 200916 yr I'm so excited, I'll take a AFC North title any way possible. I don't care how ugly it was, it's a win, division title and playoff birth. Three things Bengal fans don't get to celebrate very often. And, to do it without 5 defensive starters off of the opening day roster and without Slim. What a season...
December 27, 200916 yr You automatically get a home playoff game for winning your division. That's what I was thinking, but I wasn't entirely sure. So let me see if I have it right. The Colts and Chargers will get a bye, and the Bengals and Patriots will host the two wildcard teams? Who is the highest seed between the Patriots and Bengals right now?
December 27, 200916 yr And the Steelers get saved by an awful call. Sorting out the wildcards in the AFC is a mess. You got any idea what these two need to happen to get in. I really don't want to face either one for a third time in the postseason. Hard to beat a team 3 times.

December 27, 200916 yr Anyone wanna sort that mess out? Is it Denver? If Philly beats them, then Balt and Pitt has the tie-breaker over them because of head to head...
