Do we make the playoffs?

I believe the Ravens win next week. They will be fired up after this loss and the Redskins are just not a good team. After that, it's anyone's guess what will happen. They close with a brutal stretch of three games. They had a good chance of picking up the number 2 seed, but I believe they threw it away today. Win today and next week, and all they would have to do, in all likelihood, to get the number 2 seed wound be beating Denver at home. Now, unless they run the table, they are going to need serious help. Getting to the SB out of the 3 or 4 seed will be very hard with the way this team plays on the road.

The Colts play home&home with HOU but their other two opponents are TEN and @KC. It is entirely possible that going into Week 17 the two AFCN rivals stand no worse than 9-6 and Indy is 10-5. In that case, if the Ravens have not managed to beat WAS or DEN or NYG, the loser of BAL@CIN in Week 17 would almost certainly go home.

So which of the Ravens' remaining opponents do you think they will beat, and why?

But for the longterm good of the organization it might be better if they dont and blow some things up.

Can't argue with that--the rot seems to have gone pretty deep.

The Manning brothers will make mince meat of the Ravens defense (you can bank on two losses there). If the Raven's couldn't beat a 3rd string 37year old quarterback in their own house they will not be RG3 in DC. My guess is that week 17 in Cinci will decide their playoff fate this year - and I don't think it looks good.

You have to remember that this is the offensive juggernaut that put two offensive field goals up on the board against Chargers and won the KC game with three field goals. They are a bad team that is likely to get worse.

If the Ravens do implode you you can say goodbye to Cam.

And exactly which teams can you not say this about?

This team had been getting by and winning despite really Bad coaching.. You guys keep laying the blame at one persons feet, This is not the case. Flacco need to take his slice of the suckage, Its been 5 years man there is no
next step. Cam is hell bent on running his ancient offense, and harbs, most of the time is clueless in his time out and challenge usage. Do we make the playoffs? Yes. Can we win a road game and go to the SB? Hey Greenbay and the Giants did it..

I'm not a doom and gloomer but if they don't beat Washington, I don't think they win the division. They should still be able to get in as a WC but I don't see them beating Denver or Cincinatti.

Pittsburgh is probably going to finish 11-5 so the Ravens are going to need two more wins and hope the tiebreakers work in their favor.
