Zombo Posted December 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 On 11/27/2018 at 10:56 AM, Zombo said: This Week's Cheat Sheet: Baltimore at Atlanta (GO FALCONS!) Pick'em Denver at Cincinnati (not a consensus team to root for since both teams have same record and we play then both down the stretch.. but it would be nice to move into third place) Broncos favored by 3.5 Buffalo @ Miami (GO BILLS!) Dolphins favored by 5 Indianapolis @ Jacksonville (GO JAGUARS!) Colts favored by 4.5 NY Jets @ Tennessee (GO JETS!) Tits favored by 10.5 Cleveland at Houston (WE GOT THIS!) Texans favored by 4.5 Zombo Well, we got that Indy loss we were looking for , but nothing else that happened helped us much and of course ... we lost. I can guarantee you that will be our last loss of the season, so let's see what has to happen now: For the Wild Card , we run the table (including wins over Cincy, Balt and Denver) and ... The Ravens lose two other games outside of ours. Need them to go no better than 1-3 down the stretch. Dolphins need to lose two (no better than 2-2) Colts need to lose two (no better than 2-2) Titans need to lose two (no better than 2-2) Broncos need to lose another in addition to us (no better than 2-2) Too win the division we would need to run the table and Baltimore to finish 8-8 or worse, and Steelers to finish 7-8-1 since they have the tiebreaker on us. So the Steelers would need to lose out (0-4) and the Ravens could go no better than 1-3 (including losing to us). So ... It's not looking good to put it lightly. But it's December and we're not eliminated! Zombo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLEVELANDwantsPLAYOFFS Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 Ravens lose 2: BAL @ KC BAL @ Chargers. Colts lose 2: Colts @ Texans next week then Cowboys at Colts. Titans have the easiest path: Jags, Giants, Redskins, Colts. Jags and Skins could give them a run 4 money. MAYBE Giants play well. Broncos: Browns need to win and SD needs to win season finale against Miami: plays NE, Minn, Buffalo, and the Jags How sad...as mentioned by some foreshadowing fans months ago: THAT BS LOSS TO THE RAIDERS MAY COST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onkyoreceiver Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 Had the NFL not deliberately taken our victory against Oakland from us, all we'd have had to do is win out, and have the Dolphins, Titans, and Colts each lose only ONE of their next three and we'd be in as a wild card. Alternatively, to win the division, we'd have had to win out, and have the Steelers lose two of their next three, which include the Patriots and the Saints, with the possibility the Big Ben can't go or will not be full strength. Both pretty decent odds scenarios. That notwithstanding, the more likely path ahead is we win out and the Steelers collapse, as we need much more help for the wild card scenario. They should lose to the Patriots and the Saints (they play them in the Super Dome,) and Bengals will need to dig deep and pull the upset week 17. Could happen. Even if we miss, we are very realistically in the fight for 8-7-1 which is a winning season and well worth fighting for in its own right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I screamed from the mountain tops that game defined our season and look where we would be with that "W". You're absolutely right, that game was nothing short of a total sham job by the NFL and refs and that shit matters. To be really honest though, the way the Steelers are playing I could actually see a week 17 scenario with the Browns, Ravens, and Steelers all playing for the division to include us playing the Ravens. How crazy would that be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onkyoreceiver Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 If it came down to we win and the Bengals beat the Steelers in week 17, and we WIN THE DIVISION, that would be completely insane. It just might come down to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 Why is it that the ravens have a wildcard edge over the other three 7 and 6 teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoorta Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 2 hours ago, The Gipper said: Why is it that the ravens have a wildcard edge over the other three 7 and 6 teams Good question, and it probably has something to do with a fourth or fifth tiebreaker. Too early for us to worry about that. I agree the remote chance of winning the division counting on a complete Steeler collapse is more likely than all the four 7-6 teams losing two out of three. And the Colts and Titans play each other last game. And the Browns can play a big spoiler role last game if the Ratbirds need a win to make the playoffs.

flyingfooldoug Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 Its possible. But I’m fine with watching this season play out. Then with another off season we should be set for a legitimate playoff run next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am with you on it. We should have humiliated Cincy. Honestly, we are a better team than the Textards and should have won that game. It is very reasonable to expect the Browns to win out.

Spermsuckers play NE, N.O. and Cincy Ratrapers play Bucs, Chargers...and Browns. I would not bet on it happening. BUT....let's say that those teams each lose 2 out of 3..and the Browns win all 3: Spermsuckers end up 8-7-1. Ratrapers end up 8-8. Browns end up 8-7-1. Unfortuneately, the SS's win the division because of their 0-1-1 record vs. Browns. Too bad. (But...maybe 8-7-1 gets us a WC?) (How do you like my new names for those teams?

To be mathematically alive for the postseason with three games to play is a vast improvement. LOL, in case you're interested, the Browns would currently draft #13.

Hell the Ravens could tie the chargers as long as Browns beat them they have identical records and Browns have the head to head 2-0. In order of realistic possibility Ravens finish 1-1-1 or worse (I put it at 70%) Browns win out (45% those odds go Way up if they keep Baker upright this weekend in mile high and walk away with the win.)

There are just too many near impossible permutations of the four 7-6 teams ahead of them to make it as a wild card. Start with the Titans losing to both the Giants and Redskins. Colts losing to both Dallas and the Giants. Then the Dolphins losing to- (pick two) Vikings, Jags, Bills. Besides the already mentioned Ravens losing a couple- including to us.
