Didn't Molden have a pick?

I don't know, our DC has made chicken salad at every turn with guys that nobody wanted, it's coaching, 100% it's the coaching on O-line and OC positions...WR coach is elite and some of the others might be good too, but that O-line and OC positions need to be upgraded...

At the very least, the oline coach has to go . . . . . . . . . Roman is uninspiring to say the least, but getting rid of him may be a bridge too far for Harbaugh. Joe may need to step in on that one . . . . . . . . .

its not complicated .... most think the percentages and risk does not match the reward. Lose a tough game in Denver and they will probably lose the following week (Saturday?) in New England.

What advantage do they have that most other AFC playoff teams don't? It’s the opportunity to sit and rest: Denver, New England, Houston, Jacksonville, Pitt/Baltimore will all be pushing the pedal to the metal next week.

I definitely understand this argument, but my problem is (which is why I would have been wanting to keep the Bills at #7 and wanting the Bills to knock off the 2 and maybe 1 seed), If the Chargers have to win 3 road games against AFC playoff teams to see a Superbowl, the percentages say that they’re gonna get bounced at some point anyways.

IMO, the percentages are low for the Chargers to get the #5 seed because the Texans aren’t going to lose to the Colts… but what if the Texans who play before the Chargers actually do come out and lose… do we try for the #5 seed then?

The #5 could potentially mean only having to play 1 road game as opposed to having to definitely play 3 road games to make the Superbowl.

I'd really like the Texans to be the 5 and play @ the 4 seed (which is likely)
because both the Steelers and/or Ravens (while not their usual selves) are still physical enough to tenderize the Texans.
My preference of opponents are the following:
1.(AFCN winner but not happening)
2. Pats
3. Broncos
4. Bills
5. Texans
6. Jags

Pretty damn close to a hip drop.
too bad the refs didn't decide to call this "ticky tac" play.
Oh wait, Herbert didn't need it because he's a freaking machine.

i think they play these games simultaneously so that teams can't let outcomes determine their effort.

Last I saw, the Bills game is the same time as the Chargers game but the Texans game is one of the earlier games.

He did, after that play.
