Nah. Come out firing like the Miami game. Then West and Dixon wear them down! Actually-i'll leave that for harbs marty and joe to figure out. Let's just find a way to scrape out a W in any way, shape, or fashion! Please beat these cheaters!

If just Pitt and Miami are tied, Miami wins head to head. But, if 3 team tie (Pitt Miami and Denver) it goes by conference record, which I believe Pitt wins because 2 of their losses are to NFC teams (Eagles and Cowboys) http://www.nfl.com/standings/tiebreakingprocedures

Me too! I'm so pumped for this game! I can't stand the Patriots, and this game has huge playoff implications! Plus, since it is in primetime, I can watch the entire game without distractions since my young kids will be in bed

And there's no guarantee about the NE game either. It depends if NE is still fighting for homefield or if they already have that wrapped up. But, here's the bright side....We beat Pitt (and 2 of other 3) and win our division at 10-6. Miami sneaks in at 10-6 (need Denver to fall to 9-7 because Pitt wins a 3-way tie) as a very weak 6th seed and we beat them down again in the first round of playoffs!

Not guaranteed, but pretty darn close. Need 1 loss by Miami (@Jets, @Bills, vs.. Patriots) and 1 loss by Denver. (Patriots, @ Chiefs, Raiders) Technically, we could still lose this one, the beat Eagles, Steelers, and Bengals and we would still win the division (but would have no margin for error).

I believe it does, but we are still set with all tiebreakers due to our conference record. (3 of our losses are to NFC teams-Redskins, Giants, and Cowboys) I have ran the scenarios through nflplayoffpredictor.com and http://www.nfl.com/playoffs/playoff-picture/predictor(I have given up on ESPN's playoff machine because there were a ton of errors) and the Ravens win every conceivable tiebreak vs. other teams (unless somehow we end up tied alone with the Raiders of course)

I respectfully disagree. Win this and we have an excellent shot at the wildcard if we lose to pitt (we could then beat Eagles and Cincy to move to 10-6) All we would need to happen then is for Miami to lose 1 more (@Jets, @Bills, vs. Patriots) and Denver to lose 1 (Patriots, @ Chiefs, Raiders) to get the final wildard (small shot even if we lose 1 other and go to 9-7 if Miamii and Denver both lose 2. Obviously, I would prefer we beat the Steelers and win the division, but a win tonight gives us another path or 2 to the playoffs.

a 1/2 game back. A game back in the standings is equal to 1 win by you and 1 loss by your opponent. But, I agree with your premise. I think the Ravens need to go 10-6 to make the playoffs (and must beat Steelers to win division) I know there is a chance the Ravens could sneak in at 9-7, but I am definitely not counting on that!

You never know. I still think they can beat the jets...and may just need 1 of bills and patriots (and patriots are week 17...so it depends if they are playing for homefield or resting starters)

Looms like we have 2 paths to playoffs since i don't see Pitt losing to. Inch or Clev. 1) Win 3 of next 4 (and beat Pitt) to win division 2) Beat NE, Philly, and Cincy but lose to Pitt--Miami and Denver lose 1 more each--we get wildcard (and most likely a rematch in for first round of playoffs)

Also known as illegal pick plays or offensive pass interference...well at least for the other 31 teams in the league

I think we could use a tackle as well for depth in the middle rounds, especially if we lose Wagner. I think we all agree that would like to have a better backup option than Hurst. If we retain Wagner, this is less of a need because Lewis is an OK backup tackle.

Excellent point. I enjoy these articles because I often do miss segments of our games. Typically I see the first half or so in whole because my 2 young children are down for nap, but often see bits and pieces of the 2nd half. Not every fan can watch every second of every game. These articles and this message board are a great way to keep me up to date on everything that happened/is happening with the Ravens.

Why not make it a record-setting 65 yarder just for fun!

Amen. Exactly my thoughts!

I don't think this will ever happen because it takes away a TV timeslot each Sunday. The NFL (and networks) make big money by having games at 1:00 and 4:00 (plus the night games)
