Baltimore Beatdown: An SB Nation Community

Playoffs! Playoffs?

The Baltimore Ravens sit in second place in the AFC North with a 6-5 record and five games remaining in the regular season. In order to make the post season, the team now has it's own fate in it's hands. Win out and without a doubt we will make the playoffs and who knows, possibly win the division if the Cincinnati Bengals fall apart over the last few games.

However, to expect this team to finish 11-5 with wins over both the Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers on the road is pretty high expectations and while I'd love to see this happen and we absolutely have the talent to do so, finishing 10-6 seems like a more realistic outlook. That would mean that the Ravens would have to win one of the two aforementioned games and it would be great to get that out of the way this coming Monday night on the "Frozen Tundra of Lambeau Field." Winning in Green Bay in December, much less at night in front of a prime time audience is a tall task, but the Ravens are 2-0 in prime time so far this season.

So what has to happen around the AFC for the Ravens to get in if they end up finishing with a 10-6 record?

Star-divide

How the Ravens finish 10-6 makes a huge difference. If the Ravens lose to the Packers but beat the Steelers in Pittsburgh, that should be enough to get us in by a better division and head-to-head record. Otherwise, we'll have to possibly take a look at all the different tie-breakers against the other 10-6 teams to determine which teams get the two Wild Cards. So who is our competition and where do they stand?

The teams currently sitting at 5-6 look to be out of the picture but are only one game behind the Ravens, so for the sake of a great finish by one of those teams, let's just list them by name (Miami, NY Jets, Houston, Tennessee!).

That said, here are the teams whose record is as good or better than the Ravens and are fighting for the Wild Card positions at this point: Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Jacksonville, Denver). If the season ended right now, the Broncos and Jaguars would be the Wild Cards, with Denver getting in by a better record and the Jags beating out the Ravens with a better conference record.

How these teams do down the stretch will decide their fates with key matchups along the way. Here's each teams' schedules over the final five weeks of the season:

Ravens (@ GB, vs. Det., vs. Chi., @ Pit., @ Oak)

Steelers (vs. Oak, @ Cle., vs. GB, vs. Bal., @ Mia.)

Jaguars (vs. Hou., vs. Mia., vs. Ind., @ NE, @ Cle.)

Broncos (@ KC, @ Ind., vs. Oak., @ Phi., vs. KC)

Looking at the above schedules, we can see some advantages and disadvantages. Denver, albeit with the best schedule right now, goes on the road to both Indy and Philly. Expecting them to lose both of those contests, they could finish 10-6 and if the Ravens do the same, then we have the head-to-head tie-breaker over them. Jacksonville has a tough division game this weekend hosting Houston, but did beat them in week three at Houston. However, with games against both Indy and NE, they too could finish 3-2 down the stretch and end up 9-7 and out of the playoff picture. That leaves the Pittsburgh and us, with the Steelers being the most questionable team of all the current contenders based on the injury status of both Troy Polamalu and more importantly, Ben Roethlisberger. They could go anywhere from 5-0 to 2-3 depending on who plays and how they play. Knowing the Steelers, however, odds are they will be in the hunt and our game in three weeks will be another classic and could define the season.

So while there are a lot of possibilities that could determine the prder of the teams in contention, the Ravens can start their hunt for another post season berth this Monday night with an impressive victory in their second straight prime time appearance. Bring on the Pack!

We have to win out...

While getting help from someone else is nice the best way to assure the post season is to win out. Of course it is not going to be easy. The Monday night game against the Packers and the showdown in Pittsburgh are obviously huge, but we certainly don’t want to get caught napping or looking past 2 mediocre NFC North teams and an Oakland team that has actually won some games at home. There is no doubt in my mind that this Ravens team has the potential to win out but do they have the ability to execute? That remains to be seen.

I think we have the best shot, looking at the schedule.

Ours seems the easiest of the 4 teams in the hunt. Detroit, CHI and Oakland should be no problem. We need to take one from GB this weekend. It is a must win, seeing as I think we will lose to Pitt in week 16.

This is hilarious...

Last week it was like “this team are done, we need to bench Joe, write off the year”, and after one win, we’re talking about playoffs!!! I’m not saying I’m not thinking about it, and I think we have a great chance, as currently we’re 1 win off Denver, and Jacksonville are only beating us out of the 6th spot on their divisional record. I think playoffs are definitely a possibility, but it’s going to be a tough road to get there, and we need to be a lot more consistent for the next 9 gameweeks!!!

Nobody who ever gave his best regretted it...

I still don't think we will make it

Loses to GB and Pitt is my guess. And this is coming from someone who predicts 16-0 every season since 1996.

by Mr MaLoR on Dec 1, 2009 1:27 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

you're probably right

but if we can pull this out monday night in Lambeau, we have a good chance. The packers did lose to TAMPA, and their O-Line gives up a lot of pressure and their Linebackers are poor in coverage (good for Ray Rice). This is a winnable game.

If we win that and lose in Pitt, then we’re 10-6, and I’ll bet just about anything that Denver doesn’t finish any better than 10-6 themselves. I do not believe that they can win either in Indy or in Philly, and they might even drop a third game against Oakland (who has brought a lot of pressure on QBs recently).

The real threat, to me, remains the Steelers. All of those games are very winnable (if Ben is playing) and it’s even conceivable to me that they could win-out.

My take is with winning Chi, Det, Oak

If we beat GB and lose to Pitt, I think we are out at 10-6. If we lose to GB and beat Pitt, I think we are in at 10-6. But how about this…..We just win out and go 11-5. Sound good?

Actually, I looked

at the standings at nfl.com, and even if Pitt beats us, we still have the tiebreakers on them. I KNOW we can beat GB, so why not aim for a full six-game winning streak? 11-5 is pretty much a guaranteed playoff spot.

Honestly, I also doubt we can beat Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh, especially with Polamalu and Roethlisberger back in. But we can still pray for miracles. We’re due one anyway!

Depends how we do

in the Det., Chi., Oak., and GB games before we get the nod due to tie-breakers. Besides, we might be using the tie breaker toi determine playoff seed as we can both make the Wild Card.

Obviously not having another loss....

is a pretty good step. But I too see us possibly losing another game. So what else needs to happen you ask? Well a collapse of the Bengals would certainly help, but pretty unlikely. More realistically the Broncos (who currently hold the 1st wild-card spot) will need to continue what they do best. That being, completely fold in the last quarter of the season. All in all, 11-5 pretty much seals us a playoff spot, but 10-6 might just cut it after having the tie-breaker over the Steelers and Chargers. Either way, I’ll have my fingers crossed!

at this point, I’ve accepted that the Bengals are a serious team and I don’t feel mad about it because I respect Marvin so much for the superbowl he helped us win. When you talk about “paying your dues,” Marvin Lewis is paid his for mad long. He deserves this, even if I’d love to see us get revenge against him.

Success there all comes down to

corners who can cover enough to allow the front seven to blitz at will. The offense will score enough to outscore what the defense gives up. Sound familiar? The names might change and the defense certainly isn’t as good, but the philosophy is the same. Good ole Marvin.

Don't overlook the Raiders

We are a pretty decent team here in Cincy and Oakland brought it big time. The west coast trip is exhausting and the time change is more trouble than you may think. Yea I will be the first to admit that we tend to play to the level of our opponents, which bodes well for us in the playoffs a bit, it is probably to biggest test of a playoff team that we have not passed. The Raiders are a schizophrenic team. If to good team shows up like they did against us you will have your hands full. Pittsburg gets a break playing them at home.

Either you or Pittsburg is going to the playoffs and who knows, maybe there will be 3 AFCN teams there. I will root for you against the Steelers in the next game as I think we have about an equal chance of beating both of you and, lets face, a Steelerless playoff year is simply a good thing. It is almost unbelievable to expect to beat you or the Steelers 3 times in the same season. Oh, I think we can, I mean it isn’t out of the question, but that is a tall order. The Bengals couldn’t be lucky enough for both the Ravens and Steelers to miss the post season. A 3rd game between the Bengals or Steelers would be must see TV though. Don’t you agree? To be honest I hope you lose all of the remaining games with the exception of Pittsburg but I won’t hold my breath.

And yes, a Steelerless playoffs is amazing.

I can still see the Steelers making the playoffs.

and while I wouldn’t call Oakland “scary,” I have watched their games and they are a very physical defense and they have talent at RB. It also helps that Gradkowski isn’t JaMarcus Russell.

Titans have me worried. They are still a real tough team. Even at 0-6 I didn’t want to play them. Imagine if the Titans were still in our division. It would be insane. We lucked out having those guys removed and keeping Ohio. Even with Cincy’s success you kind of know there will be a quick end to it. The Titans and Steelers have staying power.

We will see what we will see Malor but........

Are you sure you could survive the off season after being beat 3 times by the Bengals in a single season? Especially after being beat 3 times by the Steelers last season. If we are scheduled to play I am sure your team won’t have to look far to find us. We will meet you at mid field. Hey the Ravens are a good team but you are going to have to come to terms with the fact that they really don’t scare anyone anymore. You may beat us, even though you have failed twice this year to do it, but we aren’t afraid of you at all. I am pretty confident that it will be another close game which either team could win.

I could deal with it

I have respect for Marvin Lewis and do enjoy watching Ochocinco. If we got beat by you guys 3 times, it is because you are the better team. The way we have lost to you guys this year, it was like we deserved it with the way we played and never truly looked to be in the game and want to win. We lost to Steelers last year when we out played them in the first two meetings, plus they represent everything that is wrong in life.

But god damn do I think you guys have it coming to you if we see you in the playoffs.

MaLor, I do hope we see you in the playoffs...........

Nobody including your or I would be stupid enough to guarantee a victory. It would be the game of the year IMO. But if we did manage to pull out a win it would probably be enough to propel us all the way. If we could beat a team like the Ravens 3 times I don’t think any team left in the playoffs would find us an easy win. BTW you have never seen anything from me disrespecting the quality of your team (other than a bit of ribbing). I am not counting you out at all. We are not your problem. The Steelers need another whipping. It makes not difference to me which team we beat on the way to the SB but as I have said a Steelerless playoff year would be a good thing and that is in your hands. We have already done our share on that count. I, a Bengals fan will be wearing Raven colors (not really) and rooting for a Ravens victory, unless of course someone else knocks them off first. Then all bets are off. LOL

Unfortunately he could very well be tagged as a head coach somewhere, possible next year. This whole D is because of his ability to take no name players and make them a unit. He did it in Dallas and again here in Cincy.

Funny comments by Ray Lewis after the game-

If someone hasn’t already pointed this interview with Andrea Kramer out, it’s worth mentioning.

With Rice standing next to him, Lewis called Rice a child and then added that they have a special bond and think of one another while playing. He then added that (with this special relationship) they touch each other on the field. By this time I am begging Lewis to stop but he continues to hog Rice’s air time by mentioning the “flat” games he watched all day and how special the Ravens and Steelers are with great players on each team. LOL. Man, Ray Lewis is something else when that mouth gets going. Had me cringing and laughing.

And through it all Ray probably had no idea that it was his turn to stop talking. That thought probably never crossed his mind.

Those steelers games are almost no fun to watch. They’re nerve-wracking, the thought of losing is absolutely devastating emotionally, and even if you win you might come out of the game missing two or three starters.

Everyone thinks he’s such an amazing public speaker. Look, just because you have a huge voice and an expressive face and you speak with your emotions on your sleeve doesn’t make you eloquent. Saying “bottom line” twice in every sentence doesn’t make you eloquent.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ll have him play for us as long as his body can handle it. But I will never go hear one of his sermons. (and I can’t imagine what sort of rambling will take place when he gets inducted into the Hall of Fame)

Both

You have to hate losing more than you love winning.

by Mr MaLoR on Dec 1, 2009 3:15 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

The Positive

Ray Rice Rules
Clayton did have 7 catches and held on to a huge one (football) while being totally demolished.
Minimalu took tackles away from LB’s and other DB’s. He continues to impress. He tackles better than 90% of the backfield. (Foxworth needs to hit the weights)

Ray showed some youth getting in the backfield. (but still is to far off the line on 3rd and 1’s)
ST’s did a real nice job. (Minus T-bag Gooden and helmet catch guy)
Flacco played okay but Rice made him proficient. With 7 Clayton catches and Heap getting some balls it’s hard to argue his Mason eyeball. I think Kelly Washington is getting open-when the ref doens’t block him.
 
Oher/Gaither solid. 5 sacks more on schemes and RB’s.
Landry getting his sea legs back finally.
Walker didn’t get toasted.

Great game…against a 3rd string QB, no Kemo and Troy. We could have used this boost 3 weeks ago.

The Good:

Cam called a nice game except for the Heap end zone lob. It was lucky enough that Mason got his. 2 in one game. ERRR. Ghost of Billick and the chicken O.

The Bad: Flacco continues to underthrow the deep ball and throw off the back foot. Collinginsworth mentioned that Joe did a great job geting the safety to turn on Claytons deep ball. Uh, no. Upon further reveiw Flacco stared Clayton down like he was the last women at a frat party. The safety just geeked.

he showed just how slow he is and he got disgracefully blocked out of a few plays. I noticed because I was specifically watching #59 to see if I thought he was a starter. He proved last night that he’s a rotation LB at BEST. I’d take my chances with Gooden improving over time.

Did anyone think it was humerus at the game sunday when we were on offensive and the refs blew the whistle and said we were not allowing pitt enough time to get lined up? Did i hear that right? Doesnt manning do this all the time and isnt that the purpose of the no huddle offense?

by ryantz on Dec 1, 2009 4:22 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Yea that was strange

Never heard that one before. But it was not just a regular hurry up offense. I forgot what reason it was for. There was a stoppage before that happened.

After you make a substitution on offense, you have to give the defense a chance to substitute players as well. I’ve seen the refs do the same thing to Indianapolis.

True

When Indy does this, they keep the same personnel on the field – so no D subs.

I think Indy can tank he Jags game on week 15

to help a weaker team (he Jags) into the playoff; and leave out stronger teams(Ravens; Steelers; Titans!) out. If the Jags win the next 2 games; look out to see Jim Sorgi at Indy’s QB most of the time against us on Week 15.
The Colts have a history of tanking. If they clinch the AFC completly; and the Jags win the next 2; Indy will let the Jaguars to win in my opinion(It is logical option for them…)

the Colts will start sitting players or pulling them early as soon as they have home field locked up, which may be week 15 or so?

And the Jags-Colts game is on Week 15

We neeed to win the next 2 games for that option; what I discribed; but if that (somehow) happen don’t wonder if The Jags will beat the Colts(maybe stop there AMAZING streak!)

The Ravens scare me though because with the Packers the egos are getting a bit high just like the last time these two teams faced each other in Monday Night Football and I remember clearly that last time the score was like 42-7 with the Ravens blowing out the Packers.

But it will definitely be a good game. Two of the best defenses and young Quarterbacks in the league going at it in the leagues most historical stadium. Can’t wait. I saw it was supposed to be 30 degrees that night! That is warm as S*** for Green Bay in December.

by raven on Dec 1, 2009 6:44 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

The Ravens will need to get after Rodgers early and often. If they do that, I think the

Ravens would win. Rodgers is another elite quarterback, something the Ravens have struggled against. Mattison will need to blitz more often than he would like because the Packers have a very good receiver core, and quite frankly, our secondary just isn’t that good overall. The Packers running game has been non-existent all year, though Ryan Grant could get involved through screens and such.

Offensively, the Ravens should do well on the ground. I’m more worried about the passing game because of the pressuring secondary of the Packers. I’m not sure if the Ravens receivers will be able to get off the line cleanly enough to get good production. I think we should see a heavy dose of Ray Rice in different ways.

The Ravens should beat the seller dwellers and execute to the best of their abilities against Pittsburgh and Green Bay. The running game will be key against the playoff contending teams.

by E-ROC on Dec 1, 2009 6:03 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

one pressure corner

Al Harris, is out for the year. Woodson usually gets assigned to the top passing threat even if its a TE. He’s usually good for at least one outrageous highlight of him mugging a receiver.

My guess is that they come out early with lots of screens, slants and pitches to slow down pressure. As the game progresses, they’ll go to heavy protection schemes and chuck that thing long. They love bombs.

and…Flacco will throw of his back foot and short the deep rout by 5 yards…

by raven on Dec 2, 2009 9:08 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Your pretty spot on. Getting pressure on Rodgers will be big for you guys, and likely won’t be much of a challenge. He actually tends to do better when blitzed. He has struggled this year when teams rush 3-4 and drop 7-8 in coverage because many times our poor o-line can’t even block 3-4.

I feel pretty confident that our pass defense will have some success against you guys but Rice really scares me. It’s going to be interesting to see what we do to try and keep him and check. When we played the 49ers and Gore, Woodson occasionally covered him out of the backfield but that was before Harris went down for the year.

Capers approach against good pass catching Rb’s has been to blitz. Hoping too force the Rb back to help block but it sounds like your o-line is pretty solid so I don’t know how well this will work.

it will be interesting to see how the league responds to rice now that he has been totally exposed on national tv. he’s a marked man. might be a good time to use him on the front side of a reverse.

by raven on Dec 2, 2009 9:10 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

GB pressure can’t hold a candle to Pitt.. We have faced THE BEST pass rushes in all of the land this year. Vikes, Indy, Pitt and could have taken all 3. Flacco should have seen everything by now. We’ll be okay if Rice and the other RB’s can chip their guys a little better.

With the attention Rice is getting in the flats the middle has been a 1 on 1 with the TE or 3rd receiver. I’d like to see us start hittting candy ass Heap a little more for 15 yarders. I’d also like to see some passing shots in the end zone- not prayer lobs in the corner. Mason should be able to wheel on any DB for 6.

by raven on Dec 1, 2009 6:49 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

GB's weakness

is their o-line and pass defense. They are #1 overall but give us a lot of TD’s especially in the Red Zone. They have weak pass protection and Rodgers holds onto the ball too long and is sacked a lot. If we can blitz him and put pressure every time, we can do some damage. But with his great WR’s and TE’s, if we don’t he’ll pick us apart big time.

okay okay…Gano blood vial necklace.

bruce, you have to admit that if you were main stream media and allowed in the Castle you and this site would be reduced to boring generic player quotes, Raven propaganda and laborous X’s and )‘s talk. This is much better don’t you think – don’t answer that.

Howad Stern is a billionaire and Matt Lauer has to sit between to chicks with his hands on his knees.

No clue

Just drink Seltzer water if you are going to drink non-alcoholic beer. Taste like real beer.

I wonder if Michael McCrary got a decent seat this game or if he had to sit in the end zone drinking warm Bud again.

by raven on Dec 1, 2009 7:27 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Rex Ryan still thinks McCrary is upset for Kruger taking his number. You think Boulware is pissed about Jason Phillips sitting on IR rocking #58?

Or Tony Banks upset for John Beck wearing #12?

Know who now sits behind me?

Anyone remember WR/TE Scott Fitzke from the Phil/Baltimore Stars of the USFL and the Eagles? Played in the last ’70’s thru mid-80’s. Cool guy and when we talked, found out like the NFL normally does handle these things, he gets ZERO health benefits from the league.

No, but went on ebay

and bought his rookie card to give to him and his daughter, but he says he already has it.

Kruger is going to get that number on the Ring.

Tony Banks would have been on the Ring of Honor if it weren’t for the Redskin pass. lol.

Ray..you gonna hunt Raven down?

Nah. It ain’t work like that. I don’t hunt down no one. It’s not about Raven. It’s about The Beatdown. Next man up. Caint worry about what’s said. What’s passed is passed. Can’t go back. Edge of Night. Double Trouble. Bottom Line. I will tell you one thing. I’m above words. To me. Me. It’s football. Edge of Night. I was sitting on my couch at home and I thought Wow. Me. Blessed. It’s all right here! Right here. I can taste it. Little Ray Rice pork chop legs right here. Don’t get no better than that.

by raven on Dec 1, 2009 7:45 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Little Ray, when you get running, you gotta sprint. When you get sprinting, you gotta run. Bottom line. I got some ideas for a dance move I like you to do next game. I call it the “Shake your bottom…..line.” Don’t do it on grass though, could get grass stains on your bottom……line.

i want to see ray rice in a movie where he plays a wise guy baby thief in a diaper and ray lewis plays the enforcer.

hell, give all the ravens a movie:
1. Ed Reed in Unbreakable 2
2. Suggs in Shrek 4
3. Ngata in Princess Bride 2
4. Flacco in Gump 2 w/ Suggs as Bubba and Houshka as Jenny. “We’s like peas and carrots, I tought him how to throw high and he taught me how to miss.”
5. Heap in Rocky 6 The New Russian
6. Rice in Radio 2
7. Kruger in The Hitcher 2
8. Foxy, Walker, Washington, Zbi, Makamura in the Grapes of Wrath 2.

Suggs definitely has the lips to play Bubba to.

If you've ever seen long snapper Matt Katula

He looks just like Jim Carey’s friend in the movie, The Truman Show.

Also, Defensive Line Coach Clarence Brooks looks exactly like The Nutty Professor’s overalls wearing father.

You gotta be big with the name Clarence. I heard he played a mean sax at the arena.

I’d say 80% of this post has to do with beer and nothing about football.

still cant believe you're sticking up for Natty light

if you were really about the cheap beer that goes down easy, youd move to Natty Ice haha, a lot more bang for the buck.

Natty in a glass bottle is the way to go.
