Re: The Ravens are 99+% certain of going to the playoffs
Except if New England loses to Houston tomorrow and we beat Denver next week (clinching the AFC North), we can still get the #2 seed and a bye if we win the last two. No way we rest if that is the case.
We might rest the last game of the season if the only thing that is possible for us is the #3 or #4 seed (not much if any difference between them, in fact one could argue the #4 seed is better because it will likely mean facing the Colts instead of either Cincy or Pitt).

Re: The Ravens are 99+% certain of going to the playoffs
Same thing, we do. I should have said if New England loses this week or next and we beat Denver (in terms of making a decision on resting for the last two weeks).
If we beat Denver and we finish with the same record as Denver and New England, we get the #2 seed because of head-to-head sweep of both of them.

Re: The Ravens are 99+% certain of going to the playoffs
They're gonna back into the postseason. The only scenario that shuts them out is one where the CIN@PGH game in Week 16 ends in a tie (& each wins its other 2 games & the Ravens lose out). Over the last 10 years there have been exactly 2 ties in over 2,560 games. Do the math.

Re: The Ravens are 99+% certain of going to the playoffs
I am amazed you had the energy to figure this out after such a disheartening loss. After walking several miles to get to the parking lot in outer Raljon and then waiting to get out of the lot, getting stuck on exit roads, and finally sitting on the DC Beltway for 1/2 an hour, I did not have the energy to do anything. Arguing with my wife while listening to the knuckleheads on WBAL radio repeat over and over how our offense stinks (without ever saying get rid of Cam) was the last straw. When I finally got home last night I got into bed, balled up in the fetal position, and tried unsuccessfully not to think about how miserable this week and the rest of the month will be.
Oh well it's Christmas. Maybe I will just watch A Christmas story and Mr Magoo's Christmas Carol over and over again. That will be better than watching the team I love self destuct over the next few weeks to Archie's offspring.
I invest way too much emotional capital in these games.Last edited by ed from Bel Air; 12-10-2012 at 05:10 AM.
