Would You Rather Beat...but Lose To...

[Alexir]

Would would you want?

[Samari]

I picked the last option. If we beat good teams like that, we can win it all. Also, Oakland is week 17 so hopefully we'll be resting our starters by then.

[kze]

As of right now I feel that beating the current Super Bowl champions twice whom we lost to three times last year would be a sweet ordeal.

[theFRANCHISE]

I also chose the last option. The idea is, assuming all four games against the Pats, Colts, and both Steelers games will have more playoff ramifications than the two games against OAK and DEN, those are more important.

Any embarassment from losing to OAK and DEN would be offset by beating tougher, more quality teams who are more likely to be playoff contenders.

[Samari]

Also, losing to a crappy team like Denver or Oakland would be great motivation for a team like this to take it all the way

[JEEPercreepermd]

I didn't vote because I'd rather see the Ravens win all 16 games

Congrats on becoming a MOD.


I voted for the last one as well but man I would be ticked off if we got shutout by Denver and Oakland, but it would be worth it.

Thanks.


I agree with what you're saying about the last option. Regardless of losses, however, making the playoffs is always goal #2 for every team, just below winning the Super Bowl. It doesn't matter who you beat to get there, so long as you get there. On the flip side, it also doesn't matter who you lose to, just so long as you have a playoff berth.

[Marc2k6]

I can not vote for any of those options!

[PuRock]

Any option where we beat the Steelers is the one we take. If we can beat the Steelers, IND and NE. That's a no-brainier. So what if we have a slip at the beginning and the end of the season. We would be have to be in everybody's conversation as superbowl favorites.

[SackinU]

Last option gives us 4 wins to one loss that is all the motivation I needed to vote for it...

[darklight1216]

I'd definitely take the four wins against our worst enemies.

[CorvusCorax]

Beat NE, IND and PITT, lose to Bears and Oakland (cause we clinched Division and played our b/u's). Somehow I have a feeling we're gonna lose to the Bears. Last time I had this feeling, we lost to Miami in their infamous 1-15 season. And I predicted it WEEKS before the game.

So I voted the last one but instead I see CHI win over us.

[K-Dog]

Voted: beat them all but get shutout by OAK and DEN

If you beat spitburgh twice and NE and Indy once, it would be tough to shake a finger at you for Oak and Den

[MagicianCamille]

If we got shut out by Oakland it'd get pretty embarrassing to be a Ravens fan in California.

I voted for beating Indy, losing to the Pats and splitting with Pitt.

Hey I'm from Chi-town. And I'm not a Bears fan. lol

[PSU RAVEN]

I voted for beat indy and split with Pitt. It would be good to take down indy, I almost can't remember the last time we beat them

True Dat!

[FerrariFan87]

I chose the 4th option because that seems like the most realistic at this point.
