Do Steelers have a shot at the wildcard

As well as quit running the ball out of the ez. Take the 25 and quit pissing against the wind

 

win the nex

we can lose to Buffalo and then win the last 3 and make the playoffs as division champs
3 seed

 

or an Int for that matter right?

 

Absolutely... Quit pissing against interceptions too... Those be things we need

 

Especially if it was a 4th down and the other team was throwing from the 35 yard line
right ?

 

Obviously we disagree, and that's okay. For the team, one game at a time. For the fans, I have no problem looking ahead, predicting who will win what game, and what that potential result might have on the team I follow.

 

Yes I say there is a 80 % chance that they will be a wild card contender

 

no biggy rush, thats fine if you want to look ahead, i just feel as if we don't win this one the following week begins to not matter.

 

Sports line gives the steelers a 38% chance of making the playoffs, right now the steelers are ranked 8th in seeding standings, they have to win out and win this division to be guaranteed to get in, better chance with division title than getting the 6 seed.....

 

On post season.com
i'm seeing a
68% to make the playoffs
38% to reach 2nd rd
14% to reach afccg
6% to go to super bowl
2% to win super bowl

 

If he did that they would probably lose.

 

With the playoffs hanging in the balance why would they consider the buff game expendable? They better be in win out mode because losing a game now means they just put more pressure on them selves to have 3 must win games, they need to win this game as badly as they need to win the next 3 games after this one....

 

Wildcard nothin... It's Christmas season and I'm still hoping for a first round bye! All it will take is KC and Oakland both losing 2 of their next 3 games, and Denver losing 1 (and the Steelers running the table of course). That's tougher to imagine for KC at this point (home against Tenn, Denver, road to San Diego -- oh great, another week 17 KC/SD matchup - hope Succop is playing for the Chiefs THIS time). Oakland - road SD/Denver, home Indy.

Yeah, it seems like a longshot, but Christmas is the season of miracles, and as long as it's possible, there's something to root for! Of course, as others have pointed out, the next best thing would be clinching the division heading into week 17 so we get a mock-bye against the Browns, yet still send them to an 0-16 record....

It all starts with a glorious win at Buffalo!!!!!

 

i agree
i hope they have that win out mentality
but
i'm
just saying if we lose this week and even if ravens win
we still win the division by winning the last 3
so it's not the end of the season this weekend with a loss

 

i hope so too
but

we can be at home if we lose to the browns if we win the next 3 the Browns game is not a lock this browns game can't be a bye week unless ravens lose to Pats. IF

the team has a tough road because every team wants to beat the Steelers every team

 

Agreed, a loss doesn't end the season.... I haven't done the math or read the 3,000 tiebreaking rules, but I'm reasonably certain if we lost to Buffalo and the Ravens beat New England, and then we win out (including Baltimore) and finished at a 10-6 tie with Baltimore, we would lose the division tiebreaker due to conference record. We'd need Baltimore to lose to either Philly or Cincy as well. Not impossible either, but it would be MUCH better if we do no worse than mirroring whatever Baltimore does until week 16.....I think

 

lol
3,000 tiebreakers
there is no sense of the order on some of those tiebreakers lol

 

If the second seed is indeed a possibility, I'd love to see it. Basically, need Denver to lose to Titans and beat chiefs and raiders. Then, hope the chargers can win a meaningless game for them.

 

Steelers are winning it all

 

You're right
THANKS

stupid playoff simulator is doing the tie breaker wrong

 

Run the table that is our best shot.

 

Best scenario is to have Rats lose to Pats, beat them on Christmas and then treat Browns game as a bye/tune up for the playoffs

 

As I mentioned someplace earlier- the Broncos final schedule is pretty difficult, and I can see them going 9-7. Buffalo, should they run the table and go 10-6- which is plausible should they win today- still has a shot.
