Our record is reflecting what we've looked like the vast majority of the year.

An average team whose playoff chances would go down to the wire.

I love this team and can never turn away from the games, but this has been one of the most "unfun" Ravens team I can remember watching. And nothing has improved throughout the season.

Today, I said last week that I was concerned with his knee injury considering the last time he had a significant injury (his hip in 09), he really struggled down the stretch with his accuracy.

A sprained MCL is no light injury.

27-7 at Home! That is completely outclassed and embarrassed. It was a pathetic performance by the whole team. And that was before they threw in the towel

We'll get pulverized next week. These aren't your Daddy's Ravens.

I don't completely agree. Harbaugh has a strange way of challenging this team, so I think they have a chance. Maybe Cincy will be overconfident? Dalton is unpredictable

I thought we had the tie breaker over the dolphins?

Only head to head. Not in a 3 way tie.

Here is the thing about next week's schedule: if we can beat the Bengals in the early game, San Diego will be eliminated before they kick off against KC no matter what.

If we win and the Dolphins win, a Chargers' victory puts the Dolphins in. If we win and the Dolphins lose, we are in no matter what. Either way, SD can't get in if we win our early game. The only way it matters to them is if both the Ravens and Dolphins lose (as I believe the Dolphins have the advantage over them in a tie).

That doesn't mean that if we win, SD will lay an egg. They could play for a winning season and thereby eliminate us if the Dolphins win. But if we win, we could affect SD's motivation in the late game.

Of course, we have to win first and if we play like we did today. That won't happen.

Someone check me on this but I think this is right.

Deserve's got nothing to do with it.

We knew it was going to be tough this year, but guess what at least this team did not pack it in when they were 4-6. They have giving us something to root for in final game of the season. If they lose then we look forward to next year if we win and Miami loses or San Diego loses then we cheer for another week. Let's just hope they come out firing on all cylinders next Sunday!!

Chargers are in with a win and losses by both us and Dolphins.

If everyone loses Dolphins are in.

So we should be rooting for the Dolphins then? If the Dolphins win, it officially eliminates San Diego, which might make their game a tad less meaningful. Wouldn't it be ironic if both teams won, only to have their fate determined by a team that has officially be eliminated?

No. If we win and the Dolphins lose, we are in no matter what. If the Dolphins win, we would need help from KC.

Next week, cheer for the Ravens, Jets, Chiefs and Browns. If we win, we need one of the Jets or Chiefs to win. If we lose, we need Jets, Chiefs and Browns to win.
