Will a Steelers loss at Carolina officially eliminate them this week? (1 Viewer)

[posty]

That would be sweet if it does...

Or if they unfortunately do win, will wins by Cincinnati and Jacksonville eliminate them?

Here's a useful thread.

I don't watch much, but if I do during the playoffs, I sure as hell don't want to see the Steelers there...It is already a good thing that the Skins have been eliminated...

for all intents and purposes, they were eliminated when they lost to the Raiders. The rest is a technicality.

This is true. There is a sliver of hope, but with a game left against Cinci it is still a possibility. The Jets losing helped as does Cutler in Denver I think. Jacksonville and Cinci can keep them out though.

A Jax or Cinci win will put the Steelers out. The Steelers have to win out (of course). With the remaining schedules for the other teams, if the Steelers win out, it's not impossilble for the Steelers to make the playoffs. I think the hardest thing for the Steelers to do is....win out.

Pretty sure either Cincy or Jax would have to go 0-3 for the Steelers to get in. And then they would still need some help.

I believe this is correct. The only thing the Steelers are playing for this season is to avoid a losing record and possibly having an affect on the playoffs as far as who might get in and where they might be seeded.

You are right, but have you looked at their schedules. It could happen.

Cool, whatever works... Anything to get them eliminated this weekend...The sooner, the better...

Hoping to knock Cincy out.

Hmmm, anti-Steelers and anti-Skins. Those are quality positions and I'm gonna have to rethink my position on posty.Nope, I'm over it.

So your anti Steelers? Do you have a favorite team? It sounds like you are scared to face them in the playoffs.

Nope not at all... I just hate all teams from Pittsburgh...

How could anyone hate the poor Pittsburgh Pirates?

Both Cincinnati and Jacksonville need to go 0-3. Steelers win out, they go 9-7. If either Cincinnati or Jacksonville win a game, the worst they can do is 9-7. Jacksonville has the first tie-breaker over Pittsburgh with the head-to-head win. Cincinnati and Pittsburgh would each have one win head-to-head, and each have a 4-2 division record. The next tie breaker is conference record. Cincinnati is currently 6-3 in conference, so one more win would give them 7 conference wins (all 3 remaining games are vs. AFC opponents.) Pittsburgh is 4-6 in the AFC with 2 games vs. AFC teams left.

Basically, the Steelers have to win out, PLUS :

1) Both Cincinnati and Jacksonville need to go 0-3

2) Denver has to lose 2 of their last 3.

3) The Jets have to lose 2 out of 3 (or go 2-1, provided their one loss comes vs. Miami or Oakland.)

4) Kansas City and Buffalo need to each lose at least once.

Not that this really matters but why do BOTH cincy and Jax have to lose all 3 games? If all of your other scenarios happened and EITHER cincy or Jax went 0-3, wouldn't the STeelers get in as a wildcard?

Yes, my bad . Sorry - thanks for pointing that out.It should be either #1 takes place and either #2 or #3 AND #4 play out, OR one of those two teams (Cincy or Jax) goes 0-3, PLUS scenarios #2,3,4 all come to pass.

Did you figure this out on your own or did you find it somewhere? I was hoping there was a site out there that listed situations on what would get a team eliminated...

The sad thing is I think the likelihood of the Steelers winning out is less than the likelihood of all of the scenarios above happening.
