A Steelers loss increases our chances. [Merge]

[FireJimCaldwell]

These playoff scenarios are confusing, especially considering the possible 3 way ties in the AFC North, and they fact they play each other the final two weeks. 

 

Last week's scenarios:

 

 

This week's:

 

 

Okay, so now with the Jets loss, why wouldn't we be in with a Pittsburgh loss?  If Pittsburgh loses, no one else can get to 9 wins.  And if a Pittsburgh loss or a Bengals loss gets us in, we're in.  They play each other.   Something is wrong here.  I do not believe a Bengals loss gets us in.  The simulators and published scenarios both appear to be wrong.  I believe we should actually be cheering for the Bengals this week; cheering for a Steelers loss.

 

If I am missing something, which is entirely possible, someone please correct me. 

Those were actually both week 15 scenarios, the 2nd one was just updated after Sunday's games.

Got it, and now it makes sense.
