Steelers playoff scenario: per steelerdepot.com
Pretty much all I said in post 72 is true with the exception of HOU, and another and/or scenario involving DEN/BAL. I was figuring it out off the top of my head but here is the 'official' scenario--which is QUITE possible, considering they win out. The reason I am interested mostly is because I do not want to have to face them.
I thought it was damn near impossible for them, but in actuality it is somewhat realistic, as I think they will now have some momentum realizing that they're a lot more 'in it' than they thought last week when everyone was pitifully dejected.

"Here is the long and short of what the Steelers need in the Wild Card Playoff Scenarios following the week 15 win versus the Packers. First, the Steelers must win out versus Baltimore and Miami. Next, the Jets and Jaguars must lose or tie at least one of their remaining games. Lastly, the Broncos must lose one more game OR Baltimore must lose week 17 to Oakland."
----------------------
So they don't need as much help as I originally thought. If JAX loses to us, and IND beats the NYJ next week, all they'll need to do is root for DEN to lose (they play PHI next week)..OR..BAL to lose week 17 to OAK. Not nearly as hard as I first thought. I hope if they do get in, it's at #6, and we're a #4 so we can avoid them.
