Playoff math may be my favorite part of football.

The Steelers are not out. Yet.

you are like my husband - he has been obsessively reading the playoff chances every day, straight down to the fact that if all other factors were the same, the wild card slot would go to a coin toss. i just do the emotional living-and-dying-by-the-drive thing, which drives him crazy, and causes him to say things like, 'well, if X and Y lose and we beat Z, then we still have a 10.2% chance of making it, don't forget!' :)

(interestingly enough, if i say, 'hey, did you know our defense is still ranked #whatever this week,' he will say, 'honey, statistics don't matter, we're playing like shit.' ;)

Yeah. I think it's just hilarious when we have to root for some other team to win or lose to get in, especially when you're rooting for a team you really, really hate like Dallas or Baltimore.

I really think that if Polamalu had stayed healthy all year we'd be skating into the playoffs right now with no trouble. What can you do?
