  1. Obviously our entire season is predicated on winning out. The games we needed to go our way this week pretty much all went the wrong way. I haven't used a Playoff generator yet, but based on the number of teams at 8-6, I don't think there is any way for us to go into week 18 with a Playoff spot locked up. Obviously, it would be really nice if we could head into that game with the Dolphins in the Playoffs no matter what the result, but I don't think it's possible based on this week's results. Sure, if we win the next 2 and lose against the Dolphins it might be possible to backdoor our way in depending on how things go the next few weeks and in week 18, but I honestly think if we don't win out, we'll be on the outside looking in. Just have to keep winning.
  2. Oh, I don't mind it being a big game at all. Should keep the team's focus much easier playing the Cowboys. What will bother me, though, is if we lose, knowing that our season is probably over and having to turn my attention to the draft while I watch like 3 backup QBs play in the Playoffs with bad teams.
  3. Yes....if we win out. Tomorrow's game is so much bigger than we wish it was.
  4. Ugh......I'll say it again. These teams are trash. With the loss today, the Steelers will be out of it after they lose to the Bengals next week. From there, we are going to have to hope the Bengals lose their last 2. This gets more depressing with each passing moment. Our best chance to get in might be for us to win out and the Dolphins to find a way to lose 2 more before we beat them in the last week of the season. Any way you slice it, our chances don't look good at all because our coaches can't count and can't hold onto a lead in the last few seconds of most games.
  5. Colts have: Falcons Raiders Texans Steelers have: Bengals Seahawks Ravens To me, it looks like the Colts have the easier schedule for sure. So, it would be great for the Steelers to give them a loss today. On the other hand, the Steelers have the Bengals (who I think will kill the Steelers next week), a very inconsistent Seahawks team, and a Ravens team that may be resting starters in the last week of the season depending on how things go. So, all that said, I think it is still more likely for the Steelers to lose 2 of 3 rather than the Colts who I can definitely see winning 2 of 3. So, for me, it's rooting for the Steelers all the way today. EDIT: For the record, the Colts are going to win this game easily today.
  6. These teams are both trash........ And they have the tiebreakers over us because of our own stupidity and both could get in the Playoffs while we sit at home. Makes me sick thinking about it. I swear, we'll be the best team in the AFC Playoffs or miss the Playoffs completely. So frustrating.
  7. There were 3 plays I specifically saw him make a great and obvious impact on. There were others I saw him get washed out and look like he wanted no part of diving into a pile and try to help. You can tell he is playing more under control and making a conscious decision not to put his body in harms way. That said, he made an impact on a few snaps at big times which is a step in the right direction. Hopefully he continues to build on it if he continues to be able to play.
  8. Beating Dallas alone won't get us in as you know. We are going to need AT LEAST 3-1. The only thing that pretty much guarantees a spot is running the table.
  9. Kill shot? How many balls went to the end zone on that last drive?
  10. 2:12 left...... Chiefs have 2 TOs. Run the ball on 1st down to the 2 minute warning. Run the ball on 2nd down. Force the Chiefs to use a TO. Run the ball again. Force the Chiefs to use their last TO. If you just pick up that last first down, you can take a knee.....run the clock down to a couple seconds and kick a short game winning FG with no time left for them to get the ball back. Instead, they passed every time, didn't get the first down, left them with basically a full 2 minutes and 2 TOs to go on a potential game winning drive. Worst case if we didn't get the 1st down running on those 3 plays would be giving them the ball with just about a minute left and no TOs. Sure, no guarantees, of course, but it would have been a much better situation at worst.
  11. McDermott was a guy lining up 6" offside from not only a loss, not only season ending loss, not only another completely embarrassing loss, but a loss that would have been replayed until the end of time.......another loss that would have had a name associated with it. Coaching and mismanagement of time almost cost us the remainder of the season. Just an awful job as per usual. Oh well......survive and advance, I guess.
  12. Why are they blaming the refs? The dude lined up offside!!! There is nothing to argue about. They may be more mentally fragile than we are.
  13. Wow.......what a lucky break...... 12 men on the field lost us a game and a WR lining up wrong won us one.....
  14. HA HA HA!!!!! Classic McDermott defensive TO only to allow the conversion anyway......
  15. Ready for the McDermott special!!!! 4th and long conversion!
  16. HA! McDermott saved from even more embarrassment for the time being.........
  17. The coaches are actively preventing us from winning by not knowing how to handle game situations. It is embarrassing.... Can't wait to watch McDermott to lose another game on the last drive. Should be fun! HA!
  18. All we needed to do is run the ball to the 2 minute warning. Then force them ti use their TOs on the opposite side of the 2 minute warning. Get one first down and kick a game winning FG. Of course we do everything exactly the opposite of how it needed to be done.
  19. Murray is the last RB I want in this game right now.
  20. 2 holds by the Chiefs on that play..... no call.
  21. In that situation, I would have been fine with Allen heaving it as far as he could and hoping for a PI.
  22. Game Over........
  23. If they declined it, they better have gone for it.....
  24. It won't be a catch and that's too bad. That would have been one of the best plays in the history of the NFL, but of course, we can't execute the easiest part of if.
  25. Murray dropped it. Incomplete. Waste of a superhero Allen play.
