looking closer today borders on a must win

[slashsteel]

why is that?


say the Steelers beat the rats, but end the season with the same overall record.

the tie breaker goes to I believe division and then conference W and L's.

the rats are clearly ahead in both categorizes

So the Steelers have to be one game ahead in the final standings, as the team in second with the AFC West standing in the way...will be sofa gazing...

so little room for error

I hope the urgency of this is felt in the locker room.

With Foster, Hargrave,Bey. Williams all sitting...It won't be a easy task...........

Com'on Steelers a nation of Steelers fans is hoping for the best!

Every game is a must win for this team to get in the playoffs.

I mean maybe not if the rats lose two.... but a team doesn't want to depend on that..

Hopefully the Cheats beat the Rats. That would be huge. But, the must wins for us are the 3 division games. Lose one of those and we have no chance.

We need to win the rest of our games, not rely on the Ravens to lose a few.

If Pats beat the Ravens, and we beat the ravens, the Browns game is a bye.

I will be a big Pat* fan tomorrow. I want to have a 1 game lead going into Cincy. Hold serve and then for Christmas we can put ourselves in the playoffs and end the ravens season. THAT would be a great gift.

I really dont want to have to win the Browns game. I dont trust these guys not to be overconfident, and hung over on New Years early afternoon. We really tend to shrink against crappy teams.
