The Ravens are 7-4.

12-5?
11-6?

Currently the 4th seed in the AFC, facing Buffalo in the WC round.
If they won, they'd have the Chiefs in KC in the Divisional round.

Division games are going to be tough regardless of records. WIn 2 of the 3 games from Pitt and Cle and that should be good enough to win the divsion without having to beat CIncy in Cincy. I think . Cincy certainly coming on but can they really go 4-1 before our showdown with them. If they beat KC this week that does go a long way for them.

[Pedro Cerrano]

Cincy still has to play KC and Buffalo and at New England.

Annoying they beat Tennessee yesterday without Chase or Mixon though.

[Biggsy]

No, you’re right. Print those Super Bowl tickets. Everything is perfect.

Macdonald being terrible. Roman continuing to flounder in similar situations. Recievers consistently dropping balls, and never making the tough catch. Lamar overthrowing passes over 25 yards with regularity. Stanley being out. Humphrey and Hamilton being hurt. Those aren't excuses. Those are things that are combining to cost us games this season. Things are far from perfect.

You wanting to blame Lamar for anything outside of one errant pass (yesterdays game) is just pure stubborness. He put the football on his receiver 90% of the time yesterday. His recievers not making the play isn't an excuse. It's literally what happened. Lamar did his part. Andrews, Robinson, Drake, Oliver and Edwards didn't hold up to their end of the deal. The defense didn't hold when they had to.

[You Play to Win the Game]

I said in the game thread yesterday that he did his part. This debate isn’t about just yesterday.

At this point I think they go 3-3.

If I had to guess:

Den: L
Pitt: W
Cle: L
Atl: W
Pitt: W
Cin: L

10-7, Wild Card, 1 and done.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Den is the easiest game left on the schedule there hoss

They certainly should be. I just have a feeling they're going to piss it away. They almost lost to Carolina and then lost to Jacksonville. They were both bad teams, and the Ravens looked every bit as bad as they did.

No reason to expect they'll stop that now.

Can I suggest that most of you are too emotionally fragile to handle a loss? They’ve all been very painful but we’re 7-4 with a stupid easy schedule. Chill out

How easy have the last two games been?

FTFY.

Wasn't yesterday supposed to be a part of the easy schedule?

Depending on if Hamilton & Williams come back to play the should be 4-2. Without W vs Den, then losses to Pitt & Cleve. Wins vs Atl & Pitt, Loss to Cinn. 10-7. Hamilton with the way he has been playing was really missed on Sunday. His size & length creates difficulty for QB's.

I think Harbs should have been gone at the end of last season. If they lose to Denver this Sunday, with a much better overall roster, at home, while Denver has their QB getting yelled at by teammates between plays... Harbs should be unemployed before his rear hits the seat of his car after the game.

Denver has a good D. If this game is another close win then it doesn't look good for the 2 games after.

Usually, one game has little to do with another but I doubt the Ravens go out there Sunday and put up 30 points against Denver.  It has all the makings of another Carolina game and that's what I'm expecting.

I think Harbs got a mulligan because of the M.A.S.H. unit he was coaching last year.  If they can't beat Denver, this season is pretty much over. They probably still make the playoffs but i predict a one and done.

I don't see how it's possible but if the Ravens did lose enough games to not make the play-offs, you've got to think that Bisciotti would be at the end of his rope with Harbaugh.  He's a lover of continuity but at some point, you have to say enough is enough.  If they miss the play-offs and Harbaugh is still the head coach next year, then it's pretty obvious nothing can get the guy fired.

Denver has only given up more than 20 points 3 times this year, only once more than 30.  Interestingly, 2 of the 3 were to the Raiders.  But they are a team with a lot of infighting right now.  I think it is reasonable to expect a low scoring slugfest.  But if the Ravens let them hang close and steal one in the 4th quarter, people will go absolutely berserk.  And their playoff hopes would take a big hit.  I expect a bounce back of sorts.  Something along the lines of a 19-6 win.

I could see the Ravens winning 19-6 with 7:00 to play in the game and then losing 20-19. That’s happened enough times to be a plausible guess.
