Wildcard standings...

Oakland loses and falls to 6-6 and has a huge game next week with Tennessee who is now the team to watch at 7-5. Their schedule remaining is very tough as they have to play at Oakland still, 2 games home and away with Houston and the Saints at home. So like I will continue to say if the Steelers beat the Bills and win just one of those games on the road against the Cards or Jets 9-7 should be good enough to get them in and it in all likelihood does get them in.

 

Steelers got to go 3-1 in the final 4 games.

Got to beat cardinals, and jets

Buffalo looms large, but it’s a home game, Steelers have been decent at home. Also done talking that the game might be flexed.

Ravens in the final week, they might be playing for 1 seed. But might be playing with nothing to gain.

 

@steelersrule6 optimistic for sure... But I'm an honest homer could be a grand parade

 

The Patriots are getting smacked around by the Texans in the first half. If the Patriots lose this game and also lose to the Chiefs and the Ravens run the table. Then that means the Ravens will have the #1 seed locked up before they play us the last game.

 

Bills might lose next three games. Steelers could go 3-1 and be the 5 seed.

 

I firmly believe if the Steelers get to 9 wins they will win all the necessary tiebreakers over teams like Tenn, Oak,and Indy to get in the playoffs. Arizona is 3-8-1 and got smacked around by the Rams today so this is definitely a game the Steelers can and should win. But overall right now it’s setting up really well for the Steelers to get in the playoffs. The Colts have 6 losses after today and still have to play in New Orleans so they are gonna finish no better then 9-7. And the game next week with the Titans and Raiders is huge as well and might be a loser is out game. If the Raiders fall to 6-7 they are finished so they definitely need this game. So the Steelers continue to be in good shape and if they win the games they should moving forward they will go to the playoffs.

 

Just win the next one first.

 

Bills are not going to lose the next 3 games. They are totally legit. First time since Flutie was QB.

 

Talking heads assume AFCCG will be Pats/Ravens but I would not be shocked if it's the Ravens/Bills.

 

Thank the football gods Steelers play the Bills at Heinz Field. If this game was at Buffalo.... things would get ugly quick.

 

Looks like that is flipped around now. Need Ratbirds to have a one game lead over NE when we play them so they have no need to win it.

 

I don`t know about that. Just beating the Cards and Jets might be enough. Will have to check that playoff predictor when we get down to the Jet game. It would be nice if we just keep winning and by the time we get to the Ratbird game we have a playoff spot already locked.

 

Being home dogs is frightning considering Heinz Field folklore.

 

Well the Pats have the Bills and Chiefs on their remaining schedule. Really need them to lose both.

 

My brother-in-law is a big-time Bills fan so I watch them play pretty consistently and I just am not impressed. As always, the defense is great, but the offense is crazy sporadic. We'll see, but I'm not overly worried with it being a home game. I like Josh Allen but the Cowboys game was the first time I've ever been really impressed with him. lol

Also, we need the Ratbirds to run the table so we can get their throw-aways in the finale.

 

Rather have us play the Raisins in Baltimore than the Cheats & refs in NE, just sayin.

 

Bills defense is good. Allen has really come around this season. Beasly and John Brown (the steelers killer) on the roster.

Singltary is a good rookie back, and they got Frank "107 years old" Gore.

They are legit. Beating the Cowboys on Thanksgiving in Dallas sold me on them.

I am glad we have them at Heinz and not in Buffalo.

 

Steelers are favorites against Arizona.

 

Hey mac daddio.

Yes, one at a time folks. Too many scenarios. I get it though. It is fun. I know that some people love these situations. I too am happy that we are still "significant" and talking about playoffs. Awesome! Take care everyone. B & G.

STEELWINDS AKA The East Side Kid

 

All the Patriots have to do is lose one more game before the last game and that will clinch the #1 seed for the Ravens before they play us. Assuming the Ravens win their next 3 games.

 

How about we wait until the Steelers actually make the playoffs first, before worrying about matchups.

 

Quit pooping on my scenario.

 

Yes, the Steelers wouldn't be playing the Ravens or Patriots anyway unless they won a first round game. Which would be monumental.

 

If NE loses next week they probably wont be playing for anything but other than that they will have no other choice.

 

Idk. They could easily fall to the 3rd seed.
