I agree. All this crap about winning pretty is bullshit.
The Steelers were down 10 in the 4th quarter to the Giants and basically on one big play turned the whole game around. If you didn't watch the game, you'd have thought the Steelers won going away based off a dominant performance. They played well when it counted and won which is all that matters.
The Browns shut down the Chargers who have a better offense than Ravens yet despite the Ravens scoring 25 points because the offense was shut down in quarters 2 & 3, the Ravens were somehow losers despite winning.
Re: How does this team get to 10 wins?
I think we can pull off 2 more wins regardless of Cam getting his head out of his ass.
Raiders
Skins
The rest I am really up in the air the way the team has been playing.
We should beat the following.... but both are on the road.
Bengals
Chargers
vs Steelers
I'm really concerned with the rest.
Denver coming off of 10 days, they play Thursday the week before us, that gives Manning (who usually finds a way to beat us even with a dominate D) 10 days to prep.
Giants
@ Steelers

And their schedule was one of the easiest in the league, look at the rest of their schedule.

In the end, it doesn't really matter as long as they find ways to win though.
But then the Orioles got great defense on the left side with Machado and Mclouth. Great SP from Gonzalez, Tillman & others. The Orioles trended upward and reversed the run differential.

That stuff didn't happen until they were significantly into the second half of the season.
Hopefully the Ravens can do the same during their second half.

They don't. Sell your tickets and take hikes on Sundays.
Re: How does this team get to 10 wins?
Win tomorrow gets us to 7.
Split with the Steelers = 8
Win @ Washington = 9
Win vs. either Giants or Denver (we aren't losing both of those) = 10
That's what I think.. then you take one more roadie, either San Diego or Cincy.. and I think we'll get to 11.
Re: How does this team get to 10 wins?
The key is to not get swept by the Steelers. If that happens, they lose any real hope of taking the division.
However, looking at the other wild card contenders in the AFC, it looks like 9-7 might be good enough for that 5th or 6th seed. The Colts & Steelers are the only teams that look to be legitimate competition for the wild card.
I don't see the Dolphins and Chargers making it this year.

Exactly, if we can split with the Steelers it would have to take a complete collapse not to win the division. We'd be 2 games up AND have the division diebreaker(unless we were to lose to Cinnci and depending on what they do with the Browns), than we still have AFC and Common opponents tiebreakers.
Re: How does this team get to 10 wins?
Split with Steel-City: 7
Win @ San Diego: 8
Win today: 9
Atleast 2 with Broncos, Giants, @ Washington & @ Cincy: 11
Who wins the division then if Steelers-Ravens tie at 11 and they split???
