Calculating the probability of the Steelers making the playoffs

Apparently Juju is now doubtful after re-injuring his knee. fml.

 

We all know Bell is going to go off for 100+ yards against us. It'll happen.

 

Or maybe the D gets some payback and stuffs his worthless azz. Having that POS get any success against us is unthinkable to me. The only success that I would like to see is that their cart is working and operational to help him leave the field.
Then he recover and be healthy enough to play his next game. .

 

We better hope that the Rats have nothing to play for in their last game. They look pretty damn good last night even though it was the NYJ.

 

I don't really care in regards to Bell, but any success we allow AB (if and when he plays again) would set me off.

 

They're so freaking good and they seem like a likable bunch of guys, it makes me sick. Why couldn't this have happened to ANYONE but the Ravens? Ugh.

A one-and-done in the playoffs would be a dream.

 

I don't see anything likable about Rats. We must break them. Waking up from dream now.

 

I agree AB is the worst of the two but they are both cancers. 2019 season drama = 0.

 

It's been incredible. This season has been everything I've wanted. We're winning, albeit ugly, and doing it with a group of awesome guys.

 

Ok, I see that now. So then it would come down to common 4 games. We both beat Chargers, Bengals, and Colts. But they lost to Jets so it would come down to us winning that game.

 

Hey uncblue012.

I know I just read it. Well, that sucks. Maybe, he tried to rush back too soon? Just speculation. As an athlete myself, the mentality when injured is to get off of the "shelf" as soon as possible. I been there I know the "itch" very, very well. Unfortunately, once again if this was the case with JuJu, when that does happen you not only lose the healing time that you put in but also compound it or have to start it all over from scratch. Hopefully, it was just a "tweak". We need his services.

However, somebody has to step up now! Well with all the hype that Cain is receiving here maybe it will be him. I really do not care who it is but if everyone is buying into Tomlin's mantra, you know: The Next Man Up and The Standard is the Standard, no better time than now for whoever that WR may be.


STEELWINDS AKA The East Side Kid

 

If the Ravens beat the Browns in week 16, then they clinch the #1 seed and have nothing to play for against the Steelers.

 

I'm with you, but I don't think Harbaugh wants his guys to have 3 weeks worth of rust in between games.
You will see Lamar Jackson for at least a half.

 

On my CBS sports app they had a piece saying that RG III will start against the Steelers if the Ravens are either locked into the 1 or 2 seed

 

If Lamar Jackson blows out a knee playing in a game that means nothing, Harbaugh better sneak out of Baltimore in the dead of night because the Raven's fans will be coming after him with torches and pitchforks.

 

If the Ravens beat the Browns next week and lock up home field advantage, there's no way Jackson plays against the Steelers week 17

 

Yeah but even if it's RG3 you better take them serious.

I can remember the 2004 Steelers being 14-1 rested quite a few players against the Bills in the Season finale. The Steelers back ups won and beat a Bills team that needed a win to get in the playoffs.

And along with that long rest, the Steelers nearly lost to the Jets in the divisional round, luckily O"Brien the kicker for the Jets couldn't even come close to making a FG.

 

We won that game with Brian St. Pierre at QB. Yeah the Ravens backups aren't going to roll over and welcome the Steelers into the playoffs. It will be a hard fought battle no matter who they have in there. We could solve the problem by beating the Bills and Jets and not having to worry about who the Ravens start.

 

I'm not worried about who will start for the Ravens in that game, I'm just stating that it definitely won't be Jackson if the Ravens have home field advantage secured by week 17

 

How about we just beat the Bills and Jets and Bills lose to NE like they should, we will have 5th seed and Ravens game means nothing to us too.

 

In that Bills, game, it helped though, that one of those hither to unknown backups was Willie Parker, who had a huge game and led the Steelers to victory.

 

I'll sign up for that all day and I think it's going to happen

 

Heinz you are showing some bi-polar tendencies or you need to reduce the estrogen injections. I can see beating the Bills, but if RG III plays, there is no way you believe the Steelers will beat the Ravens. And of course the Steelers will lose to the Jets, which is your normal way of thinking.

 

While I tend to agree the Steelers lose to bottom feeders at least once a year, I believe this won't be one of those years. I still say the Steelers end up 9-7. It's been an amazing season regardless what happens from here on out.

Debbie Downer here, we are not beating the Ravens in Baltimore regardless who is under center. IMO we have to beat Buffalo Sunday night to make playoffs. 10-6 gets us in. IMO the Bills are going to smoke us. It has been an amazing run after that 1-4 start but Sunday night reality will set in. A lot of Steeler fans will have a depressing Monday morning but I'll just remember how bad we all thought it was going to be after week 5 and the wonderful job our boys did keeping it together. Debbie Downer out.

 

I meant Steelers will not beat the Ravens in the PLAYOFFS vs. Lamar Jackson. Not week 17 vs. RGIII.... I think Steelers can win that game.
