According to NFL.com, win over KC and we are in

According to playoff possibilities even if Chargers win last two.

 

using this.. a just a Steelers win doesnt clinch it.

this has the Steelers winning next week and not making the playoffs

I just clicked that link and it has us in.

 

win the last two games, and we ARE!!!

Ain`t gotta be pretty...
Don` care about "style points"...

We DO control our destiny at this point...

BeaT KC, Beat Cincy, and we are IN!!!

Good win today boys...

Glad to see a 3 and out by the D at the end, and enuff first downs at the end, to put it away...

That is solid football,, Boys n Girls...

Here`s hopin we can do it for 2 more weeks, then thru the playoffss...to Lombardi #7!!!

No reason we can`t!!!

 

Truth.

Lose to KC and we need a lot of help to get in. A lot of it revolves around what Cincy does. However, if we win, we're sitting in a good spot, and would most likely get in either via 4th or 6th seed, depending on our final game outcome.

 

The Chokers couldn't win today against a lame, flu-ridden Peyton. Their last 2 games are on the road........"Alligator arms" Rivers is done!

 

I did too.

Plug in the following: Steelers over KC, lose to Cincy...

+SD wins vs SF and KC
+Buffalo wins vs Oak and Pats
+Miami wins vs Vikes and Jets
+Baltimore wins vs Texans and Browns

Steelers are 6 seed.

So, yes, win vs KC clinches a playoff spot, it would seem.

 

Dude this stuff only serves to fry ones brain. I will just wait til the tv tells me what I need to know. LOL.

 

Here's the "what if" explanation:

Oddly, if the Texans beat the Ravens, that puts a monkey wrench into things.

 

Change one result: Houston wins vs Baltimore. Keep the rest just as you said.
And look again.

 

Yes, that's the only scenario in which a win vs KC doesn't mean a playoff spot for the Steelers.

 

so... just a Steelers win doesnt clinch it. it has to be paired with a Ravens win

 

We lost some games we should have won but if we can get hot right now and win the last two we could be as high as the 3 seed. Time to right this ship and let our offense lead us to the promise lands!

 

The Steelers hold the best conference record over any team in contention with them with a wild card. Any way I look at this. They are in with a win over the Chiefs! Go to Nfl.com playoff predictions and compare them to ESPN's, they are different.

 

I just went to the NFL prediction thing and put in the same thing as the ESPN one.... no difference. Steelers dont clinch this weekend with a win without it being paired with a Ravens win or a Bills loss.

 

Use NFL.com, not the other sites for correct results

Steelers are in with win over KC no matter what.

 

Yep, TV never lies

 

Nope, too many tie breaker scenarios...... Pitt win KC lose Cincy/ Balt lose Houston win Browns / SD win both....

Cincy wins division
SD gets 5th seed
Balt gets 6th seed
= Pitt in 3 way tie with SD & Balt loses tiebreaker according to NFL.com:

• 5th Seed - San Diego
  Wins tie break over Baltimore based on head-to-head win percentage. Division tie break was initially used to eliminate Pittsburgh (Baltimore wins tie break over Pittsburgh based on best win percentage in common games).
• 6th Seed - Baltimore
  Wins tie break over Pittsburgh based on best win percentage in common games.

 

I predict we will win the last two and Colts lose this week @ Dallas. We get 3rd seed and host the Bengals. Ravens vs Colts in the other wild card.
We sweep the Bengals and go to Denver. Ravens beat the Colts and go to New England.
We defeat the Broncos and Patriots defeat the Ravens. Steelers @ Patriots
That's as far as my crystal football tells me right now.
It also says bet the house on the Saints -3 and the Over, tonight.

 

Really scared about this game . KC plays great D and on O they use the kiss of death for us . They run the Football and throw off PA .

Should Baltimore lose to Houston and then beat Cleveland while the Steelers beat the Chiefs and then lose to the Bengals the Ravens would NOT have a better winning % against common opponents,they will have the same 9-5 record.Both 3-3 in the division and 6-2 in the other 8 common games. To eliminate a team from within the same division you would then go to conference records where the Steelers would be 8-4 while the Ravens withdrawal be 6-6.The Steelers would then eliminate the Ravens

 

Sorry to disagree.... but the tie breaker would come down to common opponents, which the teams share (I'm excluding the division as they'd both be 3-3 based on my above scenarios, maybe I'm wrong by excluding them????).

Other common opponents:

Carolina - Both teams won
Indy - Pitt won/Balt lost
Tampa - Pitt lost / balt won
Atlanta - both won
Tennessee - both won
New Orleans - Pitt lost / Balt won
Jacksonville - both won

Baltimore would have one more win against common opponents. I think that Elias may have made a mistake.
