The AFC playoff picture

I for one will take great pleasure in the fact the Steeler fans across the world will be cheering their asses off for the Bengals to win.

I would take nearly as much pleasure in having Steeler fans watch their team win its last 3 games, giving them hope for the playoffs, only to have those hopes dashed in a tiebreaker because the Bengals chose to rest their starters. That'd be a nice "f**k you" for them, no?

:lmao:

Oh my God. I guess I didn't realize the full implications of a loss next Sunday. Win or lose, we can't lose!

Oh, did we prevent WHines Hard from making the playoffs if we play or 2nd team? boo-frickin-hooo....! HA!

This is a game to look past, and rest whoever needs resting or is so valuable as to not even possibly expose to the risk of serious injury...think if Rey had broken his anle in a meaningless game against NYJ? now do you want to play the starters?????

NOT.

This doesn't give all the possibilities. What if everyone loses? According to this list the only team that doesn't have to win in order to go to the playoffs is Denver. If everyone loses, who's the other WC team in addition to Denver?

In that scenario... If Jax wins, they get in. If Jax loses, Miami gets in.

OK, I see it now. In the "everybody loses scenario" it would come down to the winner of Miami/Pitt. I like that Miami still has something to play for as they face the Steelers
