That would mean a bye in the 1st round and a home game, likely vs the patriots, in the 2nd round

After watching Brady and that offense struggle vs the Miami D, and their defense revert back to the first half of the season defense, I am not afraid of them at all.  There is no way they should be able to throw on us, they have no physically imposing WR, only cooks is considered fast.  Gronk would be the biggest worry.

What does everyone think of this?  We also own the tie breaker with Pitt, but they would have to lose vs Patriots and lose an additional game which I dont see happening, so I think we want Pitt to win next week

As nice as that sounds, I don't think the Patriots are just going to roll over and give up the 1 or 2 seed.  Look for them to bounce back in a big way against Pittsburgh.  The media in Boston is killing them today.  That usually sparks a reaction on the field the following week.

On a side note, we're talking about playoff seeding now. It's December 12th. Isn't it nice that we're not talking about the draft already?
