Title: AFC 6 seed- Pittsburgh?
Post by: Dave Gray on December 22, 2013, 08:03:06 pm
How can they still get in?  It seems like they should be eliminated.

If the Ravens, Fins, and Chargers lose next week that adds a conference loss to all of them....and in that 4 way tie Pitt owns the tiebreaker. Pitt isn't going to make the playoffs. SD and Baltimore are playing teams that might just rest guys and mail it in. Both won't lose

This says nothing about that.  I'm so confused.

I see.  The jets would take a tiebreaker over us....still miss the playoffs, but screw us.
