So Which Teams Will We Be Facing In The Playoffs?

[CapoRocky]

It doesn't matter who we play, I predict that they will leave beaten and bruised.

Steelers or Patriots
or houston and Steelers
or houston or patriots.
I think cincy, houston and denver will be going home.
the top 3 are us, pats, and squelers...

I'd love to see the Steelers lose next weekend. I could see Tebow shaking in fear when Suggs hits him. Flacco would have his revenge. It's not that I don't like Tebow, I just want to win.

Realistically, I see Steelers and Bengals winning next week. Broncos and Texans are fading fast.

But I'd much rather see the Texans win so we have a chance at getting home field advantage through the playoffs. I don't think Cinci has the ability to take out Brady's Patriots in Foxboro. Steelers can do it (assuming they stay healthy long enough). And I sure would love to return the favor of defeating the Steelers at home for the championship.

I'm not as worried about the Steelers as I was before the season started. They are playing hurt and we know them very well. We can beat them. Cinci probably scares me more these days. They seem a bit of a loose cannon to me. Very dangerous in the second half of the game.

I'm not as confident as others that we'd have an easy time of Patriots. We're not doing as well on the road this year and we seem to fumble most on games we should win. I'd much rather the football gods worked it so we could play home throughout. Then I can be there adding my voice to the crowd noise and evening the odds against our opponents.

6-0 in the division, 8-0 at home. [img]http://content.boards.baltimoreravens.com//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png[/img]

But no matter who we play, we all know the Bank will be rocking. It will rock even louder if our opponent is the Steelers though!

LOL, yeah, that's obviously what I meant. Got our two awesome undefeated records mixed up. Maybe we'll be 8-0 in the division after the playoffs [img]http://content.boards.baltimoreravens.com//public/style_emoticons/default/wink.png[/img]

The best case scenario is that the texans and steelers win, meaning that we get to face a weak and hobbled team without a great qb while pittsburgh can tire out and weaken the patriots. If the steelers lose their match up with the patriots, it will still weaken the patriots. The best scenario is if the steelers win, thus meaning that we will be able to host them at m&t. And everyone knows that WE DONT LOSE AT HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want Pitt but Ben is banged up and Mendenhall tore his ACL, so we'll never hear the end of why we won besides we're better

Based on that it might be better for our sanity if someone else knocked them out. At least that way we do not have to hear all the trolls whining about how they "woulda/shoulda/coulda" won if not for thier injuries.

I kinda forsee, and hope for that matter, the playoff scenario will go something like this: Wild Card round-Steelers beating Broncos, Texans beating Bengals. Divisional Round-Ravens beating Texans, Steelers beating Patriots. Conference Round-Ravens beating Steelers in Baltimore. I think this is the best situation and most probable. Steelers could knock Patriots out of 1st seed, giving Ravens home field in Conference. That would be great for Ravens, even if we face Steelers 3rd time, but it would be in Baltimore in Conference Championship.

Now that would be a nice scenario. And sweet sweet revenge.
