Week 16 Discussion (Other Teams - Christmas Edition)

[Militant X 1]

i think we need help but like we only need the dolphins to be beaten by either the titans or the pats

the texans beating the chargers massively helps us

but it's all moot if we don't win out - if we lose a game it becomes very difficult to make it

Needing help is one mountain for the Ravens to overcome but to have to win out against both the Rams and then the Steelers (who always seem to play the Ravens tough when playoff implications are on the line) as well? That's a tall order for this team imo.

especially if lamar's status is up in the air still - hard to think that even if he can go on sunday that he'll be fully healthy or up to speed given he wont have practiced much for 3 weeks in the best case scenario

7 wins in a row...... and unfortunately because Roman doesn't know to beat a Cover 0 we are the only team with a winning record during this span.

Texans 4-11
Ravens 8-7
Jets 4-11
Panthers 5-10
Giants 4-11
Jets 4-11
Saints 7-8

Now entering Week 17, the AFC playoff picture is as complicated as ever. Entering Week 16, the Ravens were on the outside of the playoff picture looking in, as they were the No. 8 seed. That hasn’t changed, as they still hold their spot at No. 8, just one spot out of the postseason.

1. Kansas City Chiefs (11-4)
2. Tennessee Titans (10-5)
3. Cincinnati Bengals (9-6)
4. Buffalo Bills (9-6)
5. Indianapolis Colts (9-6)
6. New England Patriots (9-6)
7. Miami Dolphins (8-7)

Miami currently holds the tiebreaker over Baltimore, the Los Angeles Chargers, and the Las Vegas Raiders due to records in both common and conference games. The Ravens, the Chargers, and Raiders rank as follows:

8. Baltimore Ravens (8-7)
9. Los Angeles Chargers (8-7)
10. Las Vegas Raiders (8-7)

Baltimore holds the tiebreaker with Los Angeles and Las Vegas due to the head-to-head win percentage with the Chargers after the Raiders were eliminated using the division tie break method. In the AFC North, the standings through 16 weeks continue to be close:

1. Cincinnati Bengals (9-6)
2. Baltimore Ravens (8-7)
3. Pittsburgh Steelers (7-7-1)
4. Cleveland Browns (7-8)

In order to make the playoffs, the Ravens will have to win their final two games while also needing other teams to lose. Although they don’t control their own destiny, they still have a path to the playoffs, so they just need to control what they can and see how the rest of the dominos fall.
