Playoff Picture

[Militant X 1]

Oh come on now, Mili. You know damn well that every game the Ravens play is a key game so that's why I didn't bring our game up. Now as for the others, it wouldn't surprise me if we lost and ONLY one team helps us. Seems to be the Raven way nowadays.

And THAT....was why I brought it up! Cause, I wouldn't be surprised "IF" we lost to the Lions or a few other teams left on our schedule to finish the season. To be honest.....I have a bad feeling about their game against the Browns in a few weeks. Now that is pitiful! But it is due to how atrocious our offense has been for nearly 12 weeks now.

I wouldnt be surprised if the only game we won for the rest of the season is vs the browns

The Ravens are one of seven teams with a winless record against teams with a winning record. All six of the other teams are a top 10 pick in the NFL (five are top 7).

I don't think the Ravens will do anything at all if they make the playoffs.

I don't think so either but goddamn if this joe flacco roller coaster ride hasn't taught me one thing... and that is to never try to predict what the ravens will do.

The Browns game I dread the most. It would be such a Ravens thing to do to give them their first win.

More of a chargers thing but I see your point - it’s my nightmare though rather than my expectation

Yes, I’m hoping they win their first game before they play us

I wished this game was in CLE instead of LA, but with these two teams having home disadvantages, I don't think it would've mattered that much.

Is it really a “home” disadvantage if they lose everywhere else as well?

In the Chargers case, yes. The Browns? Ehhh.....no.

IN case you folks are interested, this is updated through the Cincy loss of 12/4:

Technically, it is still possible for the Ravens to steal the division from the Steelers and get the fourth seed. The Steelers could lose the next two games (against the Ravens and against the Pats), but they have the Texans and Browns after that. With the way they've been playing down to their competition and now getting injuries there's a chance they lose out, but it's unlikely. If only the Packers, Colts, or Lions could have pulled off the upset.

technically they could but it would have been much simpler had the bengals not been jobbed out of the game last night by the refs - at this point its exceedingly unlikely we can win the division - it requires us beating the steelers, them losing the pats (both highly possible) but they then do need a loss to the texans and browns and i just dont see that

I don’t agree with that. 2014, I think we only beat one team with a winning record and that was Pittsburgh. After that we nearly went to the AFC Title game against NE. I understand the circumstances are different but the Eagles right now literally only have one win against a winning team and that I believe is the Panthers who don’t really look like a team I would trust to make a run.

I understand that their wins are impressive but our margin of victory is among the highest in the league as well. I really like our chances if we draw Kansas City or Tennessee, KC has been playing very poorly lately and Marcus Mariota might be playing worse then Joe.

San Diego on the other hand, I’m scared to death.of, I do not want any part of them.

Now how could you be scared of a team that doesn't exist anymore? LOL, but I don't blame you. Chargers defense is nothing to scoff about and Rivers can still do major damage. If only they didn't have such a horrible start.

And if our offense plays 75% as well as they did vs the lions and we can overcome the loss of jimmy, then we are dangerous. Teams that force turnovers and play hard hitting physical defense win in January, for the most part.

Agreed about the chargers. If they make their way in, they are gonna make some noise. I can totally see them pulling an 08 cardinals, matter of fact I think they are the closest thing I've seen to them

luckily given the way the records work out we likely dont play the chargers in the wildcard round

I think you kind of hit on it, but the Ravens looked really, really bad against winning teams prior to Detroit. They looked totally unconvincing on offense and more often than not put the defense in really difficult positions by turning it over more often than they needed to.

Detroit totally caught me off guard when the Ravens jumped out to a 20 point lead at halftime. Like, shit, when have we seen that? This win gave me a little hope because Detroit is a good team with an elite quarterback and the Ravens made him useless until Jimmy went out and when Jimmy did go out, the offense yet again stepped up to help secure a faltering defense.

I think you're right- if the Ravens play KC or Tenn, I think the Ravens could win. Against a NE or Pitt? Depending on how they close out the season, I could be convinced.
