Re: Both Pittsburgh AND Cleaveland are done
I wouldn't be worried if the Browns didn't crush us earlier this season. I was actually rooting for the Steelers last night cause I know we can beat them. Our schedule remaining schedule is pretty tough as well.

Re: Both Pittsburgh AND Cleaveland are done
It might be a technical fact, but it's also true that both teams have not only significant deficits, but the Steelers are extremely banged up. Their only hope of getting in is as a wildcard IMO. I don't see the Ravens falling off of a cliff which is what would have to happen for the Steelers or Browns to have a shot at the AFCN title. We're the hottest team in football right now with a top-tier MVP QB. That matters. The Browns and Steelers have neither. We're healthy and the Steelers couldn't be more injured (well they could). I get what you're saying and it's the rational way to look at things and the Ravens ARE coming up on a tough patch of our schedule, but there's no way I can look at that trash game and think either of these teams has what it takes over multiple games to take the division. They have to win too many games here on out and I don't think either team is capable of doing that.

Re: Both Pittsburgh AND Cleaveland are done
I'm not sold on Cleveland and Pittsburgh being done yet. There is a lot of football left and we play them both again.

Re: Both Pittsburgh AND Cleaveland are done
This is where I'm at. We've become accustomed to the Ravens having to fight and claw their way to a division win but this year, every other team in our division has major weaknesses. This must be what it's like to play in the AFC East...
We are going to keep winning and we are going to crush both the Browns on Dec. 22nd and the Steelers on Dec. 29th."Put your goggles on, 'cause there's gonna be blood and guts everywhere!" - SSSr

Re: Both Pittsburgh AND Cleaveland are done
ERay, yes we do, but can't you see our team developing/maturing into a tenacious unit to be reckoned with? LJ (our QB is 13 - 4 since being drafted), Hollywood (dangerous and getting healthier by the week), the Three Amigos (our TEs), an O-line becoming more cohesive, a top-notch running game, and a defense (players added by DeCosta and schemed so well by Wink), plus the Wolf Pack. If the Browns and Steelers are in somewhat a state of chaos, we are rising like cream to the top... Bc

Re: Both Pittsburgh AND Cleaveland are done
Dorsey making Kitchen the HC continues to be a huge mistake. I get flushing both Greg Williams and Hue Jackson, but hire someone with some experience at managing a team. I've said before Cleveland has a long way to go organizationally and doesn't have the quality depth staffing wide that other successful teams have, and hiring Kitchens was a step backwards. And people think there would be no interest in Roman as an HC.
Signing and drafting all these big names and good players so far has amounted to "Lipstick on a Pig"."Find #20 on every play"

Re: Both Pittsburgh AND Cleaveland are done
I like the optimism by the OP but I think it's a little too early to count out anyone especially the Steelers. They'll find a way to still make the last game of the season against us relevant for both teams. However winning this Sunday and we'll be able to create a lot more separation between us and the rest of the division.

Re: Both Pittsburgh AND Cleaveland are done
The Steelers and Browns face off again in 2 weeks. One of those teams will end up with their 7th or 6th losses, respectively. My guess is the Browns are gonna get loss #7 that day and officially be eliminated.
Then they each play us again. I'm sorry but if the Week 17 game has any meaning to the Ravens playoff seeding (bye week!) then we aren't losing to the Steelers that day. Chances are the Steelers will be hanging by a thread at that point.
I feel like the Steelers could still sneak into a WC spot based on their gravy schedule and their competition for a WC spot. Both the Ravens and Steelers still play the Bills. We could inadvertently help the Steelers get in by beating the Bills if they beat them too. The Raiders and Colts both seem like they will waffle around .500. Perfect opportunity for a team like the Steelers to sneak in at 9-7.
