Steelers have clinched a playoff spot

Those 3rd/4th down and short plays would be more obtainable running behind Banner(imo).

 

Other than players sleeping in their own beds, Home Field throughout won't make much of a difference. Maybe they crank the cardboard fans up to 90 decibels from the current 70 but other than that it's not gonna be hardly any advantage.

 

Conner is irrelevant in this offense. Banner... really? Pouncey is short term and his absence hasn't been a game changer.

Losing your kicker is never good. I'll give you that.

What's your point? You think those injuries are any worse than any other team? The killer injuries are the 2 LB's and it's still our defense that is carrying the team.

 

Idk about resting players. I think that hurt bmore last yr.

 

Thank you for giving me the kicker, at least I got one right.

I do believe you are correct. I wondered why the Steelers had not clinched a PO spot so I looked it up.

The reason the Steelers have not clinched a PO spot is because the LV Raiders at 7-5 can still win 11 games and would win a tie breaker over Pittsburgh.

Hey anything is possible so for laughs I took another look. The following is possible. Wins are in capitals.

LVR 7-5 IND LAC MIA DEN 11-5 9-3 CONF

BUF 9-3 PIT DEN -NE mia 12-3

CLE 9-3 BAL nyg NYJ PIT 12-3

-KC 11-1 -no mia ATL LAC 13-3 COULD BEAT NO 14-2

TEN 8-4 JAX DET -GB HOU 12-4

IND 8-4 -lv HOU PIT JAX 11-4

MIA 8-4 -KC -NE lvr BUF 11-4

PIT 11-1 buf cin ind cle 11-4

Then of course those tie breakers would come into play.

But the odds of all that happening must be astronomical.

If KC beats MIA then the OP is correct. If Ind beats LVR
its over. This really is for laughs but this has really
been a strange season and who knows.

I jokingly said I would bet 1000-1 the Steelers make the PO's
but did add with OPM of course.
