Assuming Cleveland wins tomorrow, if we lose to KC, are we out or is there a situation where we’re still alive if we lose?

I am sure there is......that said. If we hit 8 wins we are winners in my book. Great job Tomlin. Simply a hell of a coach.

Yes we are still alive. The Colts beating NE hurt, but we still have a few paths. Espn has a playoff simulator you can play with. If Indy loses 2 games and we win all but the KC game we have a good shot. I also found a scenario where Indy could lose one game and if the Browns beat the Bengals we were in. Still lots of variables and moving parts though

just like jitter just said, Colts lose twice and we win all but KC and we get in. What works in our favor is the amount of divisional games left for everyone in our division. We are essentially going to keep us all in it until the end by playing each other. However, if we win out, the division is ours for the taking.

Yep. We are in the playoffs right now. Gotta have that mentality. Every week is a must win or you are out.

We forced that ****
The schobet Interception was kinda miraculous. Seriously... I cant believe he got that.
I'm reminded of when Watt took several punches at a ball trying to cause a fumble.
I wonder if its possible for a D to get good at forcing turnovers out of desperation over always getting beat.
I remember when we used to get turnovers because we were a good defense, not a bad one.
Its totally possible however here is the issue… we are a in 10th place right now( potentially 9th if the Browns lose to the Raiders today… we are only half game up on the dolphins and Broncos and maybe the Browns and Raiders if, again the raiders were to win… so is losing doesn’t only mean we need three of those teams ahead of us to lose two of their last three, it also potentially means we need those two to four teams trailing us to lose again too… and there is some cross over there in who plays who…
Winning out we have a great chance of winning the division and if Cinci manages to win out by some miracle we’d have a realistic chance of one of the three wild card teams stumbling at least once down the stretch
Losing any one of our remaining games drops the scenarios to unlikely at best… basically the next loss effectively ends the Ben Roethlisberger era…

Win the division. Period. Take it, if we can stop the bleeding on the run defense, and just score a little in the first half this team will be competitive.

If this team could play a whole game like they do in the second half of games, we'd be in a pretty good spot
If the Steelers win every game left this season, they will be hoisting their 7th Lombardi.
per the ESPN Playoff Predictor, if we beat KC (LOL) and Green Bay beats Cleveland, we're somehow atop the division if Baltimore beats the Bungles.
We need to start a petition to have Sundays game start in the 4th quarter.
Or don't watch until the 4th.
Or try a different offensive strategy in the first 1/4 just maybe.
I use the first three quarters to strengthen my vocal cords.
Maybe instead of the National Anthem, they should play Renegade.
I don't think we're catching the Bungholes for the division. I think we'd have to win out and they would need to lose out or something close to that.
When the run defense hits the field they could play, "With arms wide open".

The wife suggested we start watching at halftime. Would save some aggravation.
This is wrong. Baltimore or Cincy will be 9-6 after the game Sunday and if we beat KC we would only be 8-6-1.
The playoffs are a pipe dream boys and girls. They may still be on the board in week 18 but that is best case scenario.
I think if they lose in KC then you can scratch them off the list. A must win IMO.
