Playoffs? We’re talking about playoffs?

Yes, we are…
“So you’re saying there’s a chance”…
Bengals - I was playing with the ESPN Playoff Generator this morning. Here’s what @Mik needs to have happen…
Bengals need to win out to get to 9-8, then Broncos or Chargers need to lose the rest of their games. They play each other Thursday, so one of the two will likely lose. The loser just needs to lose 2 more times after that. The Chargers last 2 games are the Patriots and the Raiders. Two very winnable games… The Broncos last 2 games are against the Bengals, then the Chiefs. That’s your most likely shot, so pull for the Broncos on Thursday. THEN… you still need the Colts and Dolphins to each lose 1 more game. You guys are at 5% probability of making it…
The Bengals aren’t the only team still in the hunt! None other than @Jolly ’s Saints still have a .0001% chance of making the playoffs. They can’t make the Wildcard, but they can still win the division IF they win out and Tampa and Atlanta both lose the rest of their games.
Steelers, naturally, are already in. A win on Saturday gets them the division and all but assures them of the 3rd seed. There is a small chance that they can get the #2 seed, but would need the Chiefs to lose the rest of their games.

@Mik said in Playoffs? We’re talking about playoffs?:
Plus, Denver losing all their games is believable. The Chargers? I'd have to see the schedule, but I doubt it. Bengals beating Pittsburgh? Nahhhhhh.
If the Broncos lose out, you don’t need the Chargers to lose out. What they do is irrelevant at that point… Of course, you still need MIA and IND to each lose one more time.
And Pittsburgh will likely be locked into the 3 or 5 seed by that point and will be managing snap counts.

Well, looks like Mik’s going to be rooting for the Steelers on Wednesday & the Browns on Sunday…

Nothing like spending Christmas morning listening to pregame analysis…
