10 win playoff scenario

insaniti said:
I posted a bunch of different scenarios with losing to the Falcons, and ones losing to the Chiefs on the previous page. Losing to the Falcons is not a death sentence, especially looking at the other qualified teams schedules. Ours is pretty average, Baltimore's is flat out easy, everyone else's (those with a realistic shot) are pretty damn tough.

SD plays Denver at home (Denver is still in a fight for the 1 or 2 seed), Niners away, Chiefs away.
Balt plays Jax at home, Texans away, Clev at home
Miami plays NE away (still in a fight for the 1 or 2 seed), Minn at home, NYJ at home. They need to win out AND get help.
KC plays Oak at home, Pitt away, Chargers at home.
Buff plays GB at home (should eliminate them), Oak away, NE away (good luck Bills)
Browns play Cinci at home, Car away, Balt away

Even if we lose the Atl game, if we win our other two, Clev wins out, Balt wins their other two, SD wins loses to Den, we'd be the 5th seed, Balt the 6th, Clev 4th with the division title... But lets remember they just made a QB change with three games left in the season. Switch that up and have Balt win out, Clev wins their other two, we lose to Atl but win our last two, we stay the 5th, put Balt at 4, and KC/SD gets in as the 6th (whoever wins the final game). And if SD manages to win out, but we drop the Atl game and win the other two, just swap us to the 6th and SD to 5th.

There are more scenarios where we make it dropping the Atl game than you think. It's not even close to a death sentence.

The game only matters to getting to 10 wins. It has no tie breaking significance. That is why if they win this week, they are almost virtually in with a win over the chiefs next week.
 
I'd imagine that most of us expected a split with the Bengals (at best). A sweep of the Bengals would be great, but unexpected.
 
I expected them to go 10-6 this year mostly because of the schedule. 11-5 is clearly in the wheelhouse.
 
Denver with another FG and now ahead 9-0 with 50 secs before the half
 
Wouldn't it be fun if the Steelers had a chance to thank KC with a win and get into the playoffs.... No more missed field goals and hoping the other team wins crap
 
Hahahahahhahahhhahahhahahahhhaahhaahhaha chargers just doinked a fg attempt off the left upright
 
This is a quote from the post game cooler talk show with Charlie Batch and the other guy.. "10-6 is not a guarantee that the steelers are going to make the playoffs, even at 11-5 they could be left out".. um correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that impossible? If we go 11-5, we are the division champs, I believe.

Did you hear that too? Just last week they were saying this Atlanta game is must win now all of a sudden next week isn't a must win.

With everyone in the hunt playing each other things can change...what is known is if we win out we win the division. If Donkeys win today and we win next week we are in at least as a wild card.
 
We beat Chiefs we are in. If we beat Chiefs & Bengals we win Divison. If we lose both I really don't care.

22-10 donkeys! This one is all but over

Sounds good. We take care of KC next week then we at least have a ticket to the show.
 
Well with the SD loss with 2 games left Cin, Pitt and Balt are in. It will be a race to the end. To bad we had a few bad losses earlier on.
