Path to playoffs..

the one win Lions did beat the 11 win cards, so anything is possible especially this time of year. there are a lot of dream wreckers out there. Go Jags
 
You people really want to see this team in the playoffs? First of all what are the chances of them winning two games in a row? And of course there's the jags and colts. But again do you people really want to see this team in the playoffs the way we've seen them play this season?

The only difference is that the Lions have played some close games. The Jags are just blown out every week it seems. They give up immediately.

Thinking back, it was the Colts playoff spot that we took back in 89. Maybe history will repeat but first things first, let's win tomorrow.

Although I don’t think it’ll matter, Indianapolis hasn’t won a game in Jacksonville since 2013. Their earlier game against the Colts was a six point loss too. Crazy things happen In divisional games. That said, I could see this happening, and then us dropping to the Ravens. I can see it now: the week leading up to it, Jackson is shut down for the year with his ankle, and then covid manages to put Huntley and whoever their #3 is OUT for the game; then Hairball, in a last ditch effort, makes a call to Ryan Mallett because he likes the way he throws a short, quick out pass; Mallett, with but a days worth of practice proceeds to torch the Steelers defense, especially on third downs, and manages to win 20-17…….man, I feel like I’m having a really bad case of deja vu….
 
This has been an odd year so anything can happen. I dont know why anyone wouldnt want the steelers to at make the playoffs. We match up well with a couple teams in the AFC and once your in you just never know. We beat Buf, Tenn, and had a close game against the Chargers (although the score is closer than the game was). Cinci and KC we dont match up well against and we cant beat NE when it counts. I am not confident we will win our last 2 games let alone get into the playoffs, but I will be pulling for a minor miracle

I don't see that horrific Jags team winning. Will obviously watch till the end but realize that slim chance is slimmer now. Oh well I will glue in to Ben and watch his exit. At least with the last two games of the season we will see division matchups.

They don't deserve to be in the playoffs but the impossible/improbable happened in 89. Sounds about the same as what we're up against. That 89 team was a lot more fun to watch. They had grit and came damn close to going to the AFC Championship game. Likely they won't make it but let's see what happens.

They had better things.............................. than todays team.

Anything can happen once the spark catches............




Salute the nation
 
My heart wants to see Ben in the playoffs one last time but my brain wants two losses, a higher draft pick and a third or fourth place division schedule next year.

So if we win out and the colts lose to the Jags (which is a ridiculous concept) can we still get in as both Raiders and Chargers win today?

Football Outsiders has our chance at 2%.
 
I'll admit it's a long shot for us to make the playoffs but only 2%?, We've already beaten the Clowns and the Rats and it's not like the Colts are a league juggernaut, they're 0-6 the last 6 games in Jacksonville so even though the chances aren't high I could see a possible upset there. I would put our odds to make the playoffs at around 20%.

If we win tonight, I'm sure the odds will go up slightly. Maybe to 10%?
