Was last Sunday's game against Baltimore a preview of the AFC Championship game?

Answer Yes or No.

I don't see the ravens squeezing in there i'm saying colts pats again

I don't even think they will make the playoffs. They are in a tough division with the Bengals playing well and the Steelers are still the Steelers. The Jets and Broncos and Chargers are all in the mix too. I think the lack of discipline on the Ravens is going to come back to bite them on the butt.

I think that come the end of the year, they may be the best two teams in the AFC. Whether they meet each other is subject to a lot of factors. There is a high probability right now, but no certainties.

I would not rule out the Colts,Chargers,Steelers,Jets or even the Bengals.....yes I said the Bengals

Short answer: no

Long answer: I just don't see the Ravens beating the Colts/Steelers/Broncos in the playoffs. Whoever they play in the second round will trip them up. I see them in the number 3 seed and they would end up facing us, maybe the Colts if we can beat them later on this year. But they just can't make it to the AFCC game, too many obstacles. For the Pats, its just the Jets and Colts. The Raves have us, Colts, Jets, Bengals, etc.

Not discounting their potential (especially with that D)... but I think Indy and even Pitt would be better bets right now. We'll see. I did mention the D, but when analysing a bit, they allowed 27 against the Pats - and there were a few missed chances. They allowed quite a few vs the Chargers... I think they only really stopped the weaker teams they played.

So then you would say that, especially because we lost to the Jets and right now lose the tiebreaker with them, its paramount we beat the Colts and not lose the tiebreaker with them?

You can's really say we lost the tiebreaker to the Jets yet. We still have a game to play with them and 4 more division games.

I'd have to agree, their secondary will take a hammering against the better passing teams in the AFC and the Colts are just that. Also having to meet the Steelers twice, go to Minnesota and Green Bay and play the Bears along with a much improved Bengals side and of course a home game against the Colts makes me think they will not be a top seed and more likely if we do meet them it will be before the AFCCG.
