Final Game of the Season - At Cinci - Playoff Scenario

**MD Boy** · 12-16-2012, 04:46 PM

Next week: Should the Ravens lose to the Giants - where there is a good chance they do - and Cinci beats Shittsburgh....

The final game of the season for the Ravens would be for the AFC North Title, against Cinci, in their home, correct?

So, we'll be rooting for Shittsburgh to lose to Dallas today and then actually root for Shittsburgh to beat Cinci next week, nullifying the above scenario.

Best case scenario - Being that we can't get better than a #4 seed and hosting a WC match up - might as well rest your entire team in a meaningless week 17 game.

Please, can we just win one more game. Just one.

Ravens must win next week, period. I believe that clinches #4 seed based on AFC conference record.

If Dallas wins today and Puttsburgh wins next week, ravens clinch before they take the Feild. I think, Dallas will choke today, worse coached team in NFL based on talent. Dallas should throw every play today with Steeler secondary problems, victorian can't even come close to covering Austin. But,
Cowboys will choke is my guess.

I agree. Watching Shittsburgh/Dallas right now and it's got a last second Romo Pick6 written all over it.

If Dallas can hold on, we'll be rooting for Shittsburgh to beat Cinci next week to secure the division.

JFC, I never thought I'd be rooting for the, 'Piss & Black'.

A Pittsburgh loss puts in the playoffs, if I am not mistaken. I really don't care about next week. We will secure a spot next week just by virtue of the Bengals or Steelers winning.

I agree about the coaching in Dallas, but I don't think they have a lot of talent, especially on the defensive side of the ball.

A WC spot, but if the Steelers or Bengals win out and Ravens lose Cincy or Pitt wins division.

Securing a playoff spot is all that matters. Seeding, especially since we are out of HFA and bye contention doesn't matter to me.

**MD Boy** · 12-16-2012, 05:44 PM

I will be sick to my stomach if we lose out, Shittsburgh wins out and they take the division.

Come on Dallas. Please don't choke this one away, in your house.

The division matters. It's about playing at home in the first round vs. on the road. And we all know how we've played on the road this year.

Not to mention, having a chance to rest your team in the final week against Cinci.

**Corey** · 12-16-2012, 05:53 PM

It doesn't even matter, Dallas is about to blow it in the worst way.

Game over! Fucking Dallas has no answer for Wallace and Big Ben is picking their weak-ass defense apart.

**Haloti92** · 12-16-2012, 06:13 PM

Chances Dallas' defense can hold? Not good.
Chances Romo throws INT even if Dallas' defense holds? Enough to consider.

**steelerhater** · 12-16-2012, 06:52 PM

Whew! Nice pick by Brandon Carr!

With the Ravens playing the late game, they could have meaningless games in weeks 16 and 17.

**MD Boy** · 12-16-2012, 06:54 PM

Shittsburgh goes down in OT!!!!!!!!!

Awesome.

Now (Can't believe I'm saying this), I'll be rooting for Shittsburgh against Cinci next week. Eff it, win the AFC N by default and the #4 seed with a home playoff game.

I'll take it.

**Corey** · 12-16-2012, 06:56 PM

The division could be ours before we even play. Awesome. Big D gave us a hell of a Christmas gift today.

Fine by me. We've got a shitty hand dealt to us this season with injuries.

Rest up for the final two weeks and have the Offense keep practicing Caldwell's, 'system' and get ready for the big dance.

Last thing I want is for the Division to come down to the final week of the season, playing Cinci in their house.

I don't know, its a tough one. It would be pretty nice to see Pittsburgh eliminated from the playoffs.
