"I'm sorry, Brandon, but we're going to have to bring you back from the island. You've done a great job,er, ...guarding the tree stump all these weeks. You're actually going to have to play this week. I hope you managed to forage enough to eat. Your family are fine, by the way. I love the beard"
I'm only rooting for scenario #2. No way am I rooting for the Bengals to win.

That would be the perfect but certainly most unlikely scenario.

1. It’s Christmas eve
2. It’s going to be freezing
3. We can’t score points
Not saying this is a big deal yet, but it’s concerning for a franchise like the Ravens. This is the type of stuff that leads to organizational change if it turns into a trend.

But that would also mean we swept them so clearly it’s not the worst matchup and we’d be at home. Not ideal to have to beat a team 3x but the Steelers did in 2008

Ehh, its not super meaningful.
Critical aspect is that these are resale tickets on a secondary market. Tickets have already been purchased at face value, which means the Ravens have already gotten ticket revenue from these.
People get all bent out of shape about empty stadium seats, but end of day, all that matters is if those seats were purchased or not. Ravens currently sit at 99.7% paid attendance for home games in 2022. It's basically identical to last years attendance and is a hair more than what we saw in 2019.
And yes, for this particular game, it's the perfect storm. Cold Weather, Saturday game, on Christmas Eve. Actual physical attendance league-wide likely will be down.

Ehh, I know its possible, but I wouldn't say its likely.
I guess it would only really be likely if we lose the next two and then win week 18.
Cincy still in the running for the 1 and the 2 seed. Only a game back on both. They play Buffalo next week, and would jump into the 2 seed by winning this week and next.
Similarly, Ravens win 2 or 3 of the last three and they're highly likely to be the 5 seed, which means they'll play the AFC South champ, who's locked into the 4 seed.
Other factor to consider is that if the Bengals are 2+ games ahead of us by the time we play in week 18, and we've already locked up playoff spot, we will basically not have anything to play for, outside of maybe deciding which teams or teams we'd rather play. So there's plenty of scenarios where week 18 is meaningless to us also.

Resale tickets are still relevant. I have Bucs season tickets solely for the purpose of resale. I’ve been crushing it both locally and for visiting fans. Just sold upper deck seats for the Bengals retailed at $90 for $165 each. But I’m not buying season tix next year for a few reason
1. Doubtful Brady is back
2. Resale value will drop when he leaves to less than what I paid originally.
Much like the impending doom here in Tampa, if Ravens fans feel their trending in the wrong direction tickets sales will drop resale or not.

OK, but they're not relevant to the franchise. They MAY be relevant to season ticket holders, like me, who use them to profit off of. But I've also already paid the Ravens for it.
That feeling is also very cyclical and can be completely dissipated by literally like one good season. Which is why teams won't react to reduced capacity usage at stadiums until they see an actual long term trend of it.
Plus they have all the data we have and all the data we don't. For example, I don't think anybody would suggest the current product is worse off than the one we watched from, say, 2015-2017. Paid attendance never fell below 99% in any of those seasons either. A far, far, far, far, far less "watchable" product than what you'll even see out there tomorrow. Backup QB and all.
Plus Tampa is a notoriously terrible market for pretty much any Pro Sports, regardless of how good the product is. Just the demographics of the area.

I was just gonna say. If the Falcons run defense is as bad as some people have been said, at the very least he should be active as RB3 or RB4. Obviously, Hill should be active as well but I digress.
