Exactly. Said it yesterday in various threads. The AFC is WIDE OPEN. Nobody seems to truly want the #1 seed, nobody is truly separating themselves at the top, that's including the Ravens. 

Anything goes at this point with five games left and I could truly give two [BLEEP] and one great solid [BLEEP] if this team clinches the division at this point. Homefield advantage means nothing to this team this year. 

I'll take my chances on the road period as the 5th - 7th seed. However, I still think we'll win the division anyway. We're losing games in ugly ways, but, at least they're competitive and close. The only two true [BLEEP] beatings this team took this year were against the 49ers (Which is fine, that team beats up on everybody when fully healthy on offense, and, more than likely, that's your Superbowl winner barring injury to Purdy again) and the early loss to the tinhorns, which they redeemed themselves on. 

This team was fortunate to stay healthier earlier on during the year but now the bug is going around and it's hitting this team heavily. They just need to keep hanging in there with Lawrence and figure some [BLEEP] out on defense. Starts this Sunday Night with a nationally televised game. I just hope they can pull one out.
