Ok and? Do I call into work? Seek counseling? Cmon man lol

 

@blountforcetrauma Which is better, Back to the Future 1 or 2? I won't even ask about 3.

 

Oh it's part 1 for SURE! I think 2 is actually the weakest of the lot. However, IF the Cubs prophecy in part 2 had came true in 2015 instead of 2016 I'd say 2 would have became my instant favorite. LOL! I wish they would reboot Back to the Future and let Doc and Marty travel through time stopping Hollywood from making crappy reboots.... Get it?

 

Part 1 most def

 

See, I remember seeing 2 at the cinema... back when there was a break in the middle and someone came around selling ice cream, which can't have gone on too much longer.

It was also in the days when there was a smoking and non-smoking part of the cinema (left side and right side). Genius idea.

So I liked 2 the most for a long time. More recently, I've been drawn back to 1. I don't think I've ever sat and watched 3 the whole way through, lacks all of the charm of other two.

 

Always good to see ZZ Top in any film, though.

 

Wow, as anything is possible of course, it's statements like this one that sends up red flags.

Considering how easy the rest of their schedule is, the Stealers can still feasibly forge a path to the postseason through their division. (And note how he mispelled steelers)..

And lets not forget we started the season with what was thought to be an easy schedule and lost 4 out of 8 games, and the last thing this team needs to think, is these last 8 games are going to be easy wins...

 

What's weird is 2 is actually the only one that really deals with the actual "future". The "future" in 1 and 3 just really meant the "present". What time period would you like to have seen them travel to if they had done another one?

 

I say the chances are a lot lower than that. Like somewhere around 5%. If 9-7 can make the playoffs, then the Steelers have at least a slim chance. They would have to win 6 out of 8 games just to get to 10 wins and Steelers will definitely lose more than 2 games by January. I don't see them winning more than 9 games this year... best case scenario.

 

Yeah, man, whatchoo want?

 

What? All I heard was this nasally slur lol

 

If they go 6-2, the rest of the way and finish 10-6, they'll almost certainly make the playoffs. I have a hard time seeing a 10-6 Steeler team not winning the division. But if they finish 10-6 and don't win the division, I'd think they gave a shot at a,wild card.

Its trickier at 9-7. But I think they'd still likely win the division. A WC would be tough.

At this stage there are probably lot of scenarios where an 8-8 or even 7-9 Steeler team win the division. But with 8 weeks left there are lot and lots of scenarios.

So 66% right now seems about right. No one has clinched anything, so no one is at 100%. No one has been mathematically eliminated, not even Cle, so no one is at 0%. 66% means twice as likely to get in as not. Tens, if not hundreds, of millions of scenarios remain possible, and most of them have the Steelers in. Reasonable enough.

 

..........and Real Steel has a 100% chance to annoy everyone on this board! YAY!

 

Rooney's better hope the team makes the playoffs. Fans will drop tickets, sponsorship's go down, etc.
