Doesn’t matter tie breakers. We’re going to win and run away with the division

Oh I agree, but from a tie breakers perspective (if it somehow comes to that) this game looks to mean more for the tinhorns than it does us.  I don't want to think about losing this game too much, but if we did, I could still envision a scenario with the remainder of the season playing out where we still wind up with a better record than them and win the division.  I don't envision any scenario where we win this game and they somehow win the division though as we would have a 2 game lead and essentially own the tie breaker barring some catastrophic losses to the panthers, bucs and Glass Joe-less bengals (common opponents).
