The Ravens

[Ring 6]

Harbaugh is hoping to keep the Titans out it would seem...if the Steelers win and Titans lose, the Titans are out. But a Ravens win and a Titans loss would mean the Titans are in. So the only way for the Titans to miss the playoffs is a Steeler win.

I don’t think they care

I don’t think they care

Maybe not, but the Steelers getting in basically assures KC going to Foxborough and Baltimore getting either Houston/Buffalo.

So does Tennessee or the raiders getting in

I wouldn't count on KC easily beating Tennessee

I would. Tennessee is not very good.

It’ll be hard to beat KC without a running game. The titans have one of the better running games in the league. And Tannehill has sparked the offense.
IMO they have shown enough balance to beat KC. They are a little banged up though.

KC is better now than when they lost to Tennessee though. Tenn can beat them

TN gives KC fits

Correct me if I'm wrong if Tennessee beats Houston they'll have the tiebreaker over Pittsburgh for the final wild card

Tennessee has the tie breaker yes.

actually if Indy wins and the titans and Steelers lose. The Steelers would actually get in. But if Indy loses and the other 2 also lose the titans get in.

The Indy game matters

Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! God Bless You All, Everyone! Cheers! Happy Festival of Lights! O Little Town of Bethlehem! Noche de Paz, Noche de Amor! Trêve de Noël! O Tannenbaum! Beat the Dolphins! One Game at a Time!

Pfffttt.....You forgot Happy Festivus for the rest of us.

Plain and simple. The reason I don’t fear the NFC is because both BAL and KC are each better versions of the best teams in the NFC.
(SF/BAL- NO/KC)

If Indy wins and the titans and Steelers lose, the raiders probably get in but it will come down to strength of schedule

yes the raiders would get in if they were to win

I know the prevailing winds here call for us to mock the Bills, but I could see them giving the Ravens some trouble. They held Jackson to 40 yards rushing a few weeks ago. Ingram didn't fair much better. Allen pulls off a couple big plays, that could be the difference. I want to see BUF @ BAL.

Agreed. For whatever reason, TEN has had KC’s number the last few times they’ve played; including the playoffs.

I think the Jills are better than what we saw Saturday. They missed a ton of tackles. I also think we are better defensively.

Then Baltimore figured it out in turn. And in the second half, the Ravens only had two possessions. Here were their two possessions:

13 plays, 81 yards, nearly 7 1/2 minutes, touchdown
14 plays, 68 yards, nearly 9 1/2 minutes, touchdown

So whatever adjustments the Patriots made in the second quarter, the Ravens adjusted right back and their offense was unstoppable in the second half.

They're going to be a massive, massive problem in the playoffs. Not invincible, but a real problem to deal with.

The second drive was kept alive by a really bogus hands to the face penalty.

I would equate the game to Tennessee last year. By the second half the team looked pretty exhausted and needed the bye. It would have been better to have the bye like week 5. However, the positioning and reaction seemed much better just tired slow.

In a potential next matchup, the team will much better rested and had have had time to fully study up.

Think 2010 with the Jets.
