No need to panic (steelers win 6th seed)

Impossible. We lose the tie breaker to Miami because our lovely choke job last week. Plus Miami also has a better AFC Conference record than us. No way to get in even if Miami loses their next 2. Impossible.

 

Somehow (idk)we're still in it

 

Someone who watches this stuff probably knows for sure, but I think the tiebreaker changes when more that two teams are tied.

 

Pittsburgh survives another week!!
This has to happen next week 100%

Pittsburgh Win
Buffalo beat Miami
NY Jets beat Cleveland

I could see this happening because Buffalo is really tough at home!

and if Baltimore wins tomorrow
New England needs to beat Baltimore

 

I won't lie....it feels pretty ok that the Steelers are still in this considering how poorly we played all season.

 

if this were true, and Miami loses out, and we win out, and STILL don't make the playoffs, then NFL.com wouldn't be saying our Playoff hopes are alive.

 

One playoff scenario no one is thinking about, is, with their loss last night the bengals could be eliminated from the playoffs; IF, the rats win out they will win the division because they sweep the bungles head to head, even if the bungles beat Minnesota sunday; IF the fish win out they would hold the head to head tie breaker over the bungles and get the 6 seed leaving the bungles eliminated from the playoffs, personally I would rather see the rats eliminated and the bengals get in, so Bengal fans will be rooting for the lions tonight along with me......

 

FALSE..if Miami and Pittsburgh and the Jets all tie at 8-8 pittsburgh is in based on the fact that division ties are broken first...thus eliminating the dolphins...actually pittsburgh holds the tiebreaker if everyone finishes 8-8 or below

 

San Diego losing would help

 

Don't like your logic! Pittsburgh vs Bangles first round playoff book it!!!!

 

One more Miami win, 1 more steeler loss, or two more charger wins and I wont need that ticket, gulp......

 

That's a far fetched scenario!

 

You must still believe in Santa Claus, like Al Michaels said last night, the steelers have a 1 in 1 thousand chance of getting the 6 seed....

 

we need the jets at 8-8 to clean miami out

 

Miami and Pittsburgh and the Jets all tie at 8-8 pittsburgh is in based on the fact that division ties are broken first...thus eliminating the dolphins...actually pittsburgh holds the tiebreaker if everyone finishes 8-8 or below

 

This is getting so complicated I'm getting a migraine headache!

 

Here is the simple breakdown. Don't think too far ahead, only to next week, because if all of these things don't happen, we don't get to the final week. Here is what we need next week:

1. Jets MUST beat Cleveland.
2. Bills MUST beat Miami.
3. Steelers MUST beat Green Bay.

Everything else is optional, but these three things MUST happen next week. I will add, IF Baltimore beats Detroit, then add: 4. Patriots MUST beat Baltimore.

San Diego does not NEED to lose to Oakland, which is a good thing because Oakland stinks and NO WAY are they winning in San Diego. The Chiefs, however, will still have a lot to play for in the final week, and IF everything I detailed above happens, THEN we'll NEED the Chiefs to beat San Diego in the final week.

 

5. Then we need the ghost of Red Foxx riding a donkey to the White House naked.

Then we will wrap up the 6 seed for sure.

 

6. We need people here to stop denying that the playoffs are possibility.

 

MakeNFLplayoffs.com has it at about a 1 in 90 chance.

 

EJ Manuel has a knee sprain, his third knee injury so far this yr. Miami may get break in Buffalo this week.

 

its broke down on the webpage. steelers.com the thing that will kill us is Miami having to lose 2

 

our playoff game was last sunday in the snow , we lost that with an embarassing defense , do you rember the first miami td ? they moved eating our cushion till the end zone with no one near the receivers

 

and now baltimore
