    A loss today would make a division title difficult...only Bengals beating Baltimore next week would give us title if we beat Browns

    Only chance at wild card would be 2 kc losses (Denver/SD) and we beat Cleveland...

    Please take care of business today...

    As far as wildcard goes, we have excellent tie breakers with 10-6 teams, except head to head with Miami.

    Assuming we beat Brownies:

    If KC loses two, we are in at 10-6 regardless of what Miami does.
    If DEN wins two plus Miami goes 10-6, we are in.

    DEN plays KC today, so we find out if these possibilities will stay alive.

    The other way in after a loss is of course the Ratbirds lose last game which seems to be best odds of these possibilities happening should we lose today.

    I'm hoping that we take the bull by the horns and come out ready to play today. It'd be nice if we got a big contribution from Rodgers or James to take some of the load off of the 3 B's.

    Gotta win to get in. I don't like our chances taking the wild card route.

    "Excellent tie breakers with 10-6 teams", yes.

    Not saying losing to get there is excellent.

    What disgusts me is win any of those three would do. The defense letting the Cowchip game getting away with less than a minute is the most disgusting to me.

    Now we have to win for sure.

    I was reading this thread before the game...I knew it'd be super relevant after this game.

    The only thing impressive about this team is how badly they fail

    Ok yall can blame Tomlin, but Ben is scared of the Raven defense period.

    Alot of people say Ben is elite, I say above avg. Either that or time to retired. Even in the Super Bowl he was below avg.
