Steelers can beat Favre and the Vikings but can't hold it together to knock off Cleveland?
I was talking about the Steelers, which is why I only bolded that part of the statement.ASUG8 wrote:Delhomme> injuriesBlueHen86 wrote:
Injuries.
You may be right about Delhomme - I think he's had a concussion since the Cardinals playoff game last season, because he can't remember whether to pass to the home jerseys or away.....BlueHen86 wrote:I was talking about the Steelers, which is why I only bolded that part of the statement.ASUG8 wrote:

But since you mentioned it, how do you know that Delhomme isn't playing hurt?
Speaking of the Cardinals, it looks they are going to do something this year that doesn't happen very often - make the playoffs the year after a Super Bowl loss.ASUG8 wrote:You may be right about Delhomme - I think he's had a concussion since the Cardinals playoff game last season, because he can't remember whether to pass to the home jerseys or away.....BlueHen86 wrote:

The AFC wildcard race right now:bandl wrote:Steelers are not eliminated playoffs yet, although that is certainly a long shot. As it stands now Jacksonville and Denver will get the wildcards, but they could both easily fall on their faces opening up wildcard spots for Miami, NYJ, B'more & Pittsburgh. The Pat's could also just eas easily tank...they only have a 1 game lead in the AFC East. There are still plenty of games left to be played.

Denver 8-4, 6-3 vs. AFC
Jacksonville 7-5, 6-2 vs. AFC
Baltimore 6-6, 6-4 vs. AFC
Miami 6-6, 4-4 vs. AFC
NY Jets 6-6, 5-5 vs. AFC
Pittsburgh 6-7, 4-6 vs. AFC
If the Steelers win out and finish 9-7 (6-6 vs. AFC):
-They win a tie breaker over Denver by virtue of having beaten them already this year
-They lose a tie breaker to Jacksonville since Jacksonville will have a better recond against AFC teams (if Jacksonville finishes 9-7 they will be 8-4 vs. AFC)
-They win a tie breaker over Miami since they will have to beat them to finish 9-7
-They lose a head-to-head tie breaker against Baltimore, since the Ravens will have a better division record, they might still have a chance if they are in a three way tie with the Ravens and someone else.
-It's too soon to tell how a tie with the Jets will work out.
The Steelers aren't dead, but they need a lot of help.

Yeah, but Hen used a lot more words, some numbers, and "vs" several times, so we REALLY believed him.bandl wrote:Right, hence what I said "Steelers are not eliminated playoffs yet, although that is certainly a long shot"BlueHen86 wrote:

it helps keep their fans in check somewhat, at least until they pull the Yankee-like crap of "6 times" He probably just copied and pasted off some sports websiteASUG8 wrote:Yeah, but Hen used a lot more words, some numbers, and "vs" several times, so we REALLY believed him.bandl wrote:

...I shot it out of my head without an iota of research. 
Hell, I'm surprised that I got all the teams correct who are still in the wildcard run!
