ravenz rule

I just hope we get some playmakers this offseason (and I don't think Stallworth is the answer. I think he is insurance in case Mason doesn't come back.)

I haven't been on in awhile and just saw your note. Tough loss in Indy.

Since they moved here from Cleveland in 1996. Season ticket holder since 1998. Baltimore Colts fan as a kid when they moved.

Yep, a 12-4 team (Indy) playing at a 8-8 team (SD) because SD was a division champ doesn't really make a whole lot of sense but those are the rules right now.

New England went 11-5 last year but because Miami won their division, they missed the playoffs because 12-4 and 11-5 (Ravens) were wild cards. So even though SD was 8-8 last year, they won their division and made the playoffs while 11-5 NE did not because they did not win their division.

Because San Diego was not a wild card team, they were division champs. Don't look at their record, that had nothing to do with it. The two wild card teams play the two division winners that have the 3rd and 4th best records. That is why 14-1 Indy and 12-3 SD have byes and 10-5 NE and 10-5 Cincy host the two wild card teams. The winners then play Indy or SD.

We have no chance of playing anybody but New England or Cincinnati in the Wild Card round. Then we would play either Indianapolis or San Diego in the 2nd round. That leaves the AFC Championship game as the only chance to play the other wild card team, whoever it is.

Like I said, we won't have any home playoff games this year. The Broncos, if they even get in, have no chance to advance to the AFC Championship game.
