To amplify further, the two most likely games left on the schedule to get us a first-round bye are if New England loses at Denver or Baltimore loses at Cincinnati. Otherwise, we are left rooting for outrageous upsets from teams like the Browns or the Bills.

Of course, we have very little, if any, margin for error in this whole process. Week 16 appears as a cake walk for all. MIA @ NE CLE @ BAL HOU @ IND Week 17 a little more challenging, but really depends on what happens 15/16, at least for TEN and CIN. If they have nothing to play for, it might be a little less challenging. TEN @ HOU BUF @ NE BAL @ CIN

I agree about SD. But they underachieve enough that you start to believe they just aren't that good. They've lost a lot of their o-linemen this year and it's a given that Norv Turner will be fired as soon as their season is over.
After CBS protested, the games were not flexed so Texan fans can settle in and watch Car-Hou, NE-Den and Bal-SD on Sunday consecutively with a rooting interest in all three games.

I was pretty impressed with Tebow yesterday. He made some quality throws. I loathe the media buzz/overkill about that kid, but he's fun to watch, and it is somewhat entertaining for him to keep showing everyone that is telling him that he can't do this......do it.

It was a thrilling win and Tebow probably played the most complete game of his NFL career but the Steelers were on life support with all the injuries they'd suffered. Still, it's always enjoyable watching the Steelers lose.

I really think the AFC North ended up way overrated by playing the two worst divisions in football for half of their schedule (AFC South and NFC West). All of their defensive stats were inflated playing 7 bad offenses, and they got 6 easy games and only 2 real ones.
I was not shocked by the Broncos win because both teams tended to play close games, and neither score that much. Tebow is pretty tough in those situations. And Cincy was this year's version of Tampa. Baltimore was clearly the class of that division (they went 6-0 in the division), but they are about as Jeckyl and Hyde a team as there is in the NFL. They are occasionally great, and occasionally flat. Unfortunately for us, they are usually great at home. Given the state of the AFC right now, if we had Schaub (not to mention Mario, etc...), I would make us a favorite to reach the superbowl even with our flaws. Oh well.

Whether it was coaching, the players, or both, someone on the Steelers should be reamed for that horrible defensive scheme/play in OT (and most of the game for that matter). Granted they had a lot of injuries on D, but to leave the backend exposed like that, even against a horrible passer like Tebow, was just asinine. With the new OT rules, all they had to do was keep the Broncos in front of them and hope Tebow would make a mistake or at worst hold them to a FG. You make them drive the whole 80yds. If they happen to score a TD, well then they deserve the win. Instead, PITT goes all-in against the run leaving Taylor exposed, who already had a horrible game at that point. Amazing.
Have to hand it to Tebow, though. He's a tough SOB to bring down and he has a fire inside like few others. And as gimmicky as that offense is, it's going to be terribly hard to stop if Tebow can somehow find some accuracy.
