    Just did one where we win the next two and are automatically in. At that point if Ravens lose the next two against Broncos and Giants our game against Cleveland will be a bye for us. We could still win the division with a loss at that point to the Browns. Three way tie for the divison goes to us and Ravens get the 6th seed. Wouldn't it be weird to watch the Brown game knowing that we are already in and it makes no difference if we win or lose that game? What would make the difference if we are the 6th seed or the division winner would be from the result of the Bengal-Raven game. Bengals beat Ravens we would win the divison win or lose against the Browns. Ravens beat Bengals we would be the 6th seed win or lose against the Browns.

    What game would everyone watch. Steelers/Browns or Ravens/Bengals? :eek:

    I believe your are incorrect. The Ravens have to lose the final 3, and we would have to win our final 3 for us to win the AFC North. The ravens have a 2 game lead, so even if they lose just two, we basically lose every tiebreaker I believe, record vs divison and record vs AFC teams.

    We cannot win the division if we tie with the Ravens...period. So they essentially have to collapse over the final 3 games, otherwise our only chance is a WC spot.

    That being said, if it happens and we don't go into the Browns game with the intent on absolute destruction of that crappy team, then I will forever be disappointed in Tomlin.

    I'm no Browns lover, but they are little better than people think.

    What world are you living in. Didn't the Browns beat us the first time.

    Agreed. I was using the term 'crappy' more in a "I hate them" sense.

    For this to work, the Bengals would have to win the last week vs the Ravens. Unfortunately, the Ravens@Bengals and the Browns@Steelers will be playing at the same time. The Steelers wont know before hand.

    You know....at this point I don't even care. We need to get our own house in order before we worry about anyone else. Let's win the last 3, finish 10-6 and see where we end up.
