Week 17 [1/3] Pittsburgh Steelers (8-7) @ Miami Dolphins (7-8)

  • Non
    No.

    Steelers need to win and have the Jets and Texans lose.
  • Non
    I hope all those games stay at 1 p.m. so it's decided at the same time.
  • GoChiefs
    So that's it? Steelers win and Jets and Texans lose? Doesn't seem like it's such a long shot if that's the case.
  • Non
    It's not if the Bengals and Patriots play for real. Both teams still are fighting for the No. 3 seed if that matters.

    The Steelers also can get in if the Ravens lose to the Raiders, Broncos lose to the Chiefs and either the Jets or Texans lose.
  • GoChiefs
    So just to clarify..Steelers get in if they win..and the Texans and Jet's lose..OR..they win..and the Ravens, Broncos, and Jets and/or Texans lose. So if that happens..who are the 2 teams that get the wild card spots? The Steelers and Ravens?
  • Non
    If the second thing happens there will only be two teams at 9-7.

    Steelers and either the Jets or Texans

    If the Steelers win...and Jets and Texans lose...and Ravens and Broncos win

    Steelers, Ravens and Broncos are 9-7 and Steelers and Ravens are in
  • Non
    Who are the backup QBs for the Bengals and Patriots.

    I'm seeing J.T. O'Sullivan and Brian Hoyer on the depth chart.

    I'm not sure any team has as big a drop off as the Colts. We've seen in the past how bad they become when Manning doesn't play but the Bengals and Patriots might be able to compete a little better.
  • Non
    Actually, it looks like the Ravens and Texans losing would get the Steelers in.
  • Non

    Bengals-Jets is now the Sunday night game next weekend. DAMN!
  • Non
    I was afraid of this.

    NFL should understand the competitive advantage here for the Jets.

    Now the Bengals definitely will rest since it's the late game.
  • Heretic
    Yeah....that definitely makes them more difficult. All they can do is take care of the Dolphins and hope for the best. Maybe the Ravens will lose to Oakland....don't see it happening, but gotta hope for the best.

    Seriously though, I still have confidence in the Patriots but the Raiders??? Wow, can Al Davis' gang do it one more time?

    You're obviously not a TRUE Browns fan. No REAL Browns fan would EVER let those words come out of their mouth!

    That's because most of them aren't capable of more than unintelligible caveman-like grunts. Just sayin'. :dodgy:

    The Raiders actually have moved the ball the past couple weeks.

    They have some good backs, receivers and tight ends if Frye can play an efficient game.
