For the Playoff Masochists

And maybe someone will spot Big Foot eating the Loch Ness Monster today.

I appreciate your humorous reply...but for the most part most of those games can go that way...

The two games that are the most questionable at this point is Broncos vs Chargers and the Steelers vs Browns.

Frankly, it wouldn't surprise me if all of those games fell into place and the Steelers lose after it all falls their way

KC doing their part but Matt Stafford is reminding everyone how reckless he can be when the pressure is on with an early pick 6.

Stafford just getting warmed up, just threw another INT into triple coverage.

[feltdizz]

Stafford with another turnover in the red zone. This time a strip sack when he tried to break a tackle instead of eating it… smh.

Bengals fighting back from an early deficit.

Bills in a dogfight at home with Atlanta

Colts back from a 10 pt deficit to take the lead over Raiders

Titans all over the Phins

These last 2 weeks are going to be intense.

Love it or hate it the NFL has set up an exciting season

[flippy]

Today's results to go Steelers (not the only scenario mind you, just the one where we don't need a 9-6 team to drop 2 straight):

Broncos beat Chargers (@LA)
Colts beat Raiders (@Indy)
Titans beat Dolphin (@Tenn)
Rams beat Ravens (@ Balt) - not needed but anything to demoralize them going into that final game I am all for...and I hate them so always want them to lose.

Things fall that way today...it is a good sign.

But if you want the one game scenario as opposed to the 3 game...

Chiefs beat Bengals (@ Cincy)

So it may seem easier in the Chiefs scenario...the first one puts the Steelers destiny back in their own hands again ( given Steelers need to win out).

The Chiefs scenario means we need (as fans) to rely on a Browns win after being knocked out by Steelers to win against the Bengals.

It is in Cleveland, but just the same I would like the Steelers to have their destiny in own hands by end day today.

The best result is all the above happen...so Steelers own their own destiny for a 7 spot, with a chance to win the division with a Bengals loss against the Browns in the final week.

It would guarantee at least 1 final home playoff game for Ben.

Flippy...am I being positive enough for you?

looks good to me.

so many possibilities my head hurts thinking about em.

Only 1 possibility now.... Steelers win out, Broncos Beat Chargers today, Chargers beat Raiders next week.

That's the only possibility Steelers get in playoffs.

[SteelBucks]

Bengals clinched the North. Ravens and Steelers can pretty much make off season tee times.

Actually there is one more but it is Bigfoot eats Loch Ness who is the eaten by the Easter Rabbit.

Chargers-Raiders cancels one out (one will be 9-8 ).

Colts are 7th seed right now, lose to Jaguars...Steelers win out they have 7 seed

lol lol

[brothervad]

Btw if that happens and upper seeds hold out as is...the Steelers would face the #2 seed Chiefs

[brothervad]

Well that pretty much wraps it up (Charger KR for a TD). 21 point deficit with under 15 minutes to play with Drew Lock at the helm. No chance.

So if the Steeler somehow eek a win out tomorrow night...

All Hail Mighty Jaguars!

Sigh

[Buzz]

When you're down to needing help from the Jaguars, you know you're in bad shape

[T.Ferguson]

Yikes I just assumed if Steelers won out it's likely a wildcard, instead gotta rely on...Jags??? Oooooooooof.

[NorthCoast]

AFCN nearly shut out from playoffs. oh how the mighty have fallen.

Guess it's a miracle by the Jags or CIN is lone represent'n

[WindyCitySteel]

Yikes I just assumed if Steelers won out it's likely a wildcard, instead gotta rely on...Jags??? Oooooooooof.

And only because there's a 7th playoff team, with 6 we'd be done.

The Steelers were only ever mathematically alive, there was nothing else about this team that suggested they were a playoff team. They've got a point differential of -70, for crying out loud.
