Scenario

[Sweetleaf22]

We have to assume the Steelers finish the season 9-7 or there would be no reason to do this. That would eliminate Miami and reduce Baltimore to 9-7 at best. The Jets must play both the Colts and Bengals; New York is likely are to lose one and miss out. Jacksonville has to finish at New England and at Cleveland and the Jaguars also are likely to lose at least one and be done.

That would leave Tennessee, Houston, Baltimore and Denver. The Steelers would win tiebreakers over both Tennessee and Houston.

So, it could readily come down to Baltimore and Denver. If those two and the Steelers finish tied at 9-7, the Steelers and Ravens would earn the two wildcard playoff spots. In that scenario, the NFL would break the tie between the Steelers and Ravens first, because they reside in the same division. The Ravens would advance, based on their better division record.

Then, they would pit the Ravens against the Broncos and Baltimore would win because the Ravens beat Denver. The NFL would then break the tie between the Steelers and Broncos for the final playoff spot, and Denver would lose out because they lost to the Steelers this season.

Have all that?

Other than that, here are some teams to pull for or against if you want to see the Steelers in the playoffs: Root against the Jets and Jaguars to lose at least one game. This weekend, pull for Philadelphia to beat Denver. Next weekend, pull for Oakland to beat Baltimore.

And remember, it can snow in Florida.



Just lining up the Scenario, haters


GO STEELERS

What does it say for the supposedly superior AFC if Pitt gets into playoffs after losing 5 in a row with the likes of Cleveland, KC, and Oakland in that stretch?

[Romanowski]

lol this logic kills me....so the afc is weak because some afc teams lost to other afc teams?

[westcoastO]

next

and what's your logic for the AFC being "a lock" in the Super Bowl?

[Romanowski]

thats not logic its an opinion....2 best teams in the afc are better than any team in the nfc

what you said is illogical, because you are saying the afc is weak because certain afc teams lost to other afc teams....

its a fail argument...big difference

anyways lets get back to ruining queefer steeler dreams

I never said the AFC was weak, just that the Steelers lost to 3 of the WEAKEST teams in the entire NFL (that all happen to be from the AFC).......I agree the AFC has the best 2 teams in the NFL right now in SD and Indy


and yes, I was simply trying to get queefer steeler going

[Bisket]

scenarios are pointless with these many teams and 2 weeks to go. Let the games play out.

[TTB]

there is actually a senario that gets Dallas the 2 seed......lol

would require minny to lose both I think

[NightCap424]

Pitt will lose to Baltimore and this discussion will be over....thanks

[upinya83]

crack is whack

[mrhotpicks2]

by no means a steeler fan , but i hate to say it guys, if Troy plays last 2 games, they have a legit shot. denver is losing 1 of these games (VERY posibly both of them).

With the season-ending status of WR Limas Sweed the Steelers got WR Joey Galloway,The 38-year-old Galloway is from nearby Bellaire, Ohio, and is a part owner in the Arena League's Columbus Destroyers. He's apparently quite the entrepreneur, because he also owns a landscaping company in Dublin, Ohio, near Columbus. He played in Tampa for two seasons while Mike Tomlin was on the Bucs' coaching staff, and visited with the Steelers during this year's free agent signing period. He is a four-time Pro Bowl alternate (how many players can say that?) and has 689 catches for 10,777 yards in his 15-year career.

"It's Ken Anderson month. He's our QB coach. He was a heck of a player, and grew a legendary mustache, so I think Ben is kind of following in that mold," said center Justin Hartwig, a fellow mustache grower. "We're wearing the throwback uniforms and paying homage to the Steelers of old with our mustaches."

Personally, I wouldn't care if he looked like Quasimodo before, during, or after the game, as long as he wins. If a porn-stache gives you that mental edge to beat Ray-Ray on Sunday, then let it grow, let it grow.
