I don't know how you get Stefon Diggs to get up for the game if the Bills are locked into 2 or 3, especially without fans present this year. I would think that game would be a pick em' or slightly favor Miami (as long as no snow is falling). I demand that you defend this accusation, sir 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can't beat Buffalo in Buffalo what's the point of being in the playoffs anyway? would be nice to make it but this is a successful season as far as I'm concerned regardless. Assuming we take care of business against LV next week, @Buffalo just becomes our first playoff game (assuming that the Ravens, Colts, or Browns don't manage to lose out somehow). For a lot of teams the playoffs start week 17 If the Dolphins, Titans, Colts, or Browns miss the playoffs, its because they didn't take care of business in the final 2 weeks The real doomsday scenario is all 4 of them win out, along with the Ravens, who would miss at 11-5 edit: I'd also feel awful if the Titans, Colts, or Browns miss at 11-5, but somehow it feels worse if its the team that wins out at the end compared to a team that drops the final game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 It’s crazy how all of the wildcard teams match up against each other. Baltimore would beat Cleveland. Cleveland would beat Tennessee. Tennessee would beat Baltimore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's only that high because of what the Jets did yesterday lol. Sounds about right. There is a 3% chance that the Bengals return two turnovers for scores on defense which is what probably needs to happen to have a chance to score more points than the Steelers. If that happens maybe a 24-23 win for the Bengals. You can do it Bengals! We'll loan you Case Keenum if you want him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one could come back and haunt them. Although I think Baltimore will get in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's not as exciting as crapping on my fellow Ravens fans to look all cool and objective for the NFL Gen crowd but if we end up was the 3rd team in NFL history to miss the playoffs at 11-5 in the middle of a weird pandemic year on the back of a 5 game winning streak w/ the ~2nd best point differential in the league (where we sit right now) because of an improbable and insane collection of results down the stretch conspire to keep us out of the playoffs I'm very comfortable chalking that up to a bad break. If we lose to the Giants or Bengals it's obviously a different conversation entirely. Edited December 21, 2020 by SalvadorsDeli 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re trying way too hard with this “we don’t deserve the playoffs” thing. No one in our forum is saying “it’s so unfair”, we’re saying it would be a pretty historically bad break to miss the playoffs at 11-5 the year a 3rd wild card team is added - and thus - pretty disappointing. Especially when we would be 3-0 against the wildcard teams ahead of us. Not sure what you don’t get about that lol Edited December 21, 2020 by Ray Reed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coltstrong Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 two games will decide the afc wildcard . colts @ steelers and dolphins vs bills . if colts and dolphins win these games ravens are out . If the dolphins and colts both lose these games dolphins are out . If the colts lose and dolphins win colts are out . pretty simple unless a huge upset happens involving either team . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltstrong Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 ravens probably have the best chance because of their easy last two games . then the colts have the better chance over the dolphins , because the dolphins have to win both games and the colts can get in while only winning one game .
