Games to keep an eye on today for the Steelers...

Real quick in terms of wildcard spots here are the ones to watch. The Jets and Giants. I think the Giant win this game and the Steelers get help here. The Bills and the Texans. Either way the Steelers get help here because if the Bills win both teams are 6-6, and if Houston wins they are 7-5 and in first place as long as the Steelers beat the Colts who would be 6-6 if they did and would have the tiebraker in the wildcard race as well over the Colts incase Houston does win the South. Huge game though for the Bills today. I think if they lose and fall to 5-7 their odds of making the playoffs are just about done. Finally, the Chiefs and the Raiders play late today in a MUST win game for the Raiders. If the Raiders win this game keep in mind they would jump the Chiefs for the tiebraker at 6-6 and would be ahead of all the other 6-6 teams based on their conference record. So very possible for the Steelers to be 7-5 with a win and if the Bills win,Jets and Chiefs lose for 6 teams to be 6-6 the Jets,Chiefs,Bills,Houston,Raiders, and Colts. So should be a fun day to keep an eye on all this and see where we are at in about 12 hours from now.

 

Good breakdown and observation. Yeah, I will definitely keep my eye on those games,but we have to take care of business as well

 

Really we have to take care of business first???? I think that was pretty obvious if we are keeping an eye on the other wildcard teams......

 

Here is some cool info I found to look at:

AFC tiebreakers:

• Cincinnati is ahead of Denver based on conference record (7-1 to the Broncos' 5-2).
• Indianapolis is ahead of Houston in the AFC South based on head to head (1-0).
• Kansas City is ahead of Houston, the N.Y. Jets and Pittsburgh based on conference record (Chiefs' 5-2 to the Texans' 4-3, Jets' 5-4 and the Steelers' 3-4).
• Houston is ahead of the N.Y. Jets and Pittsburgh based on conference record (Texans' 4-3 to the Jets' 5-4 and the Steelers' 3-4).
• The N.Y. Jets are ahead of Pittsburgh based on conference record (5-4 to the Steelers' 3-4).
• Oakland is ahead of Buffalo based on conference record (5-3 to the Bills' 5-5).
• Jacksonville is ahead of Baltimore and Miami based on head-to-head sweep (2-0).
• Baltimore is ahead of Miami based on conference record (3-5 to the Dolphins' 2-6).
• Cleveland is ahead of Tennessee based on head to head (1-0).

We can be a # 6 seed today with a HOU and NYG win and beating the Colts tonight. Let's do it!!!!!

 

There is only one game of any concern today and involves the Steelers and Colts.

Win and worry about next week...lose and worry about next year.

 

The only important game today i'm interested in is the colts, i'm not going to track every other teams playoff aspirations just so the steelers can tread water waiting to win out in a mess they created by their own making, they lose this game and as far as i'm concerned they are done.....

 

Yeah I seen that in the other thread love it it is a very cool tool. However like I stated to the other poster I think it is pretty obvious we need to win 1st and foremost. Saying what teams we need to watch without us winning is like touching fire and being surprised you got burned...... Win win win that's what we need to do. If we win out no matter what anyone does we are in but really does anyone expect us to win out? We are gonna drop 1 game either to the Bunholes or the Broncos.

 

I agree we lose tonight it is over however 8:15 is a long way away and other then fantasy what else do I watch for today?

 

I think Revis is out this should give the Giants a chance....I still think the Jets will win the game , but we will see...

 

Its not obvious....if we go out and get out coached and coach has said he's gonna give the dB's a chance to redeem themselves and we lose then all of those scenarios are for not. Take nothing for granted.

 

So a top 10 defense that's only allowed 18 points per a game. Has already given up 21 to the Seahawks in the 1st half. Seahawks drove the whole field for two drives too. Just like I thought last week was a result of horrible coaching, in game decisions, and turnovers which were a result of trying to force the ball to AB.

 

Right thanks for making my point if we don't win nothing matters no need to talk about anything else. We have to win and if we win out we hold our own faith but that is asking a lot.

 

The Jets winning today was not good for the Steelers. Now if KC beats Oakland even with a win tonight we are still on the outside looking in at 7-5. Steelers assuming they win tonight are going to have to find a way to beat either Cincy or Denver the next 2 weeks. The Steelers I feel need to go 10-6 to make the playoffs. They just lose way too many tiebrakers at 9-7.

 

Well we better freakin win tonight cause yet again nothing went our way today.......

 

Giants suck....tom coughlin did his impersonation of mike Tomlin. Kick the fg and get the points instead he go for a 4th and 2 and throw an int...which lead to point for the jets. Sound familiar?!

 

Up by 10 with under 10 left, If they kicked the FG on 4th and 2 they win. Do not understand that call by Coughlin.

 

Thanks a lot Coughlin.....

 

last year we needed KC to kick a field goal for us to get a wild card spot and they missed it

 

That was the year before and we gave them a little payback for that last year

 

Can anybody tell me why Willie Gay's TD dance is being mocked by others this year?

 

oh right.. last year we made the playoffs and lost game against raturds

 

Jets and Chiefs have a cupcake schedual left

A loss tonight it's over or win out and get help
