    Hairball going for the win again costs his team another W.

    The biggest doubts in my mind is the Bengals losing a 2nd game (think they'll lose to KC) but losing to either the Ravens or Browns is probably on the wrong side of 50/50 in my mind (despite what the stats indicate).

    Steelers need to win their division games, so there is a loss to the Ravens (plus the one to GB today) and one to the Browns, so only need Browns to lose one more (GB) and Ravens to either the Bengals or Rams.

    Steelers aren't getting in unless they beat Browns and Ravens so may as well assume they'll win those two.

    So it comes down to a 2nd Cincy loss IMO

    I’m with you it’s all gonna come down to whether the Bengals lose either this Sunday to the Ravens or at Cleveland the final week of the season. Why I think the Steelers need to root for the Ravens to win that game on Sunday in Cincinnati. I think it will be hard for the Bengals to sweep the Ravens and Steelers both. So I could definitely see the Bengals losing to the Ravens on Sunday. I still trust the Ravens to win a game over the Browns as well with everything on the line. If the Ravens win against the Bengals the Steelers then will need the Bengals to lose to the Chiefs the following week and the Ravens lose to the Rams at home that same week. So assuming the Steelers lose to the Chiefs and drop to 7-7-1 here is what needs to happen for the Steelers to win the last two games against the Browns and Ravens and win the division at 9-7-1.

    Bengals: Lose to Ravens and Chiefs at home

    Ravens: Win at Cincinnati and lose to Rams at home

    Browns: Lose at Green Bay on Christmas Day and lose at the Steelers the following week on Monday night.

    If that all happens the Steelers will be playing for the division title on January 9th in Baltimore. It’s very possible at this point even with a loss at KC this week especially if the Ravens win in Cincy at 1 o clock on Sunday.

    The way this NFL season is going and knowing how the Steelers can really screw with us watch them beat the Chiefs, get us really fired up, then lose out.;)

    Really hope we do make it but no way we are a SB contender. Regardless how crazy the NFL is this season we don't have the offensive punch to go all the way. The two examples that are keeping my false hope alive, the 2011 NYG and the 2001 Ravens.
