What it means

[vmax]

From Jamison Hensley....

 

 

What it means: It was a monumental implosion for the Ravens, who conceded the AFC North to the Cincinnati Bengals and lost control of their playoff fate. After Baltimore lost to the AFC East champion Patriots (11-4), the only chance for the Ravens to reach the postseason is as a wild card. The Ravens (8-7) are now in a three-way tie with the Miami Dolphins and San Diego Chargers for the last wild-card spot in the AFC. The Dolphins hold the edge because they have a better conference record. For the Ravens to make the postseason, they have to beat the Bengals in the regular-season finale and have either the Dolphins or Chargers lose. This ended the Ravens' four-game winning streak and marked the Ravens' fourth loss in their past 26 home games. It was the most lopsided loss in six seasons under coach John Harbaugh.

Is that what it takes for the Steelers to get in?

Yeah kinda like back in 89 when they needed 4 teams to lose

[Tornado700]

Steelers deserve it more than the Ravens. They are playing way better.

Does anybody here really want to be nationally humiliated again?

Back to the drawing board.

Jets can't get in, but they can spoil a division rivals chances of getting in, i think Rex will have them fired up to win, i think they like Rex as there coach and will play hard for him that last game. finishing 8-8 as opposed to 7-9 makes you feel a little better going into the off-season, I think it'll be harder for the Ravens to win in Cincy. Nevertheless, the Ravens getting in is not out of the question.

If the steelers don't get in their motto for next year should be one shoe size smaller

When we dont get in, its our own dam fault starting from the HC on down to every single player on O and D

I bet money the Bengals rest out the last game. If you can't beat the scrubs....

[varaven45]

I'd rather the bengals scrubs beat our scrubs and look ahead to the draft. Besides, It's a good year for the reigning champs to watch what the NFL wants: a Brady/Manning AFCC game, then retool in the offseason.

Won't happen. A Bengal win and a Pats loss puts Cinci in the # 2 seat. A first round bye is worth playing your starters for.

[varaven45]

Exactly, bengals don't want to get swept this season, esp at home. Marvin will have em jacked like it's the SB.

[thesteelhurtin]

I'm worried most about the chargers and Chiefs. Hopefully Reid goes all out to try and get some mo going into the playoffs.
