Worst Playoff path EVER


Narcosys

Recommended Posts

I believe the Ravens felt they had the easiest playoff opponent. That's why they lost a few games so they would be certain to play us in the first round.

No , we lost four of the last five because we were injury riddled. After we beat the Giants and sowed up the division , we rested everyone the last game against the Bengals, and got mostly everyone back for the playoff run. In that case, it was getting hot, and getting healthy at the same time.

Our playoff and regular season record is not good against the Colts , so we knew we were in for a tough game. Without Manning, and Luck being a rookie, I thought this was our best chance for a win, especially at home. This Ravens team is obviously different , and if we get in, we'd be on the road.

So im thinking we end up going 10-6.  We get 4th seed.  Heres the most probably route to the SB.

 

vs. Chiefs

@ Denver

@ NE (Can switch these two if the Bengals lose first round)

 

Talk about stomach churning.

 

Even with we go 11-5 or amazing 12-4 were still 3rd seed

 

vs. Steelers (Dolphins Ravens)

@ NE

@ Denver (Maybe get lucky and be vs Chiefs)

 

Still horrible.

 

Then for the SB youre looking at most likely NO or Seattle, thats no fun either.  I mean we have beaten the Seahawks, but it was at home, and with Reggie.  Plus i think we would match up very poorly against New Orleans offense. 

 

I think the first path is the most likely and that does not give me happy thoughts.  Anyone elses thoughts?

Nice to fantasize about...if we had our full roster (Reggie,Allen,Bradshaw,Thomas) we could have some hope.

Not really, I mean if we beat Cincinnati on Sunday we pretty much lock up the #3 seed.

 

Even if we lose to KC, as long as we take care of the Texans and Jaguars at home we win the #3 seed, and that scenario is assuming Cincinnati wins out, if they don't as long as we have the same record we win the tie breaker for winning the head 2 head match.

Thats what the second scenario was.  If we were 3rd seed.  Its still dirty.

I hope you're joking. Do you think they also poisoned Arians?

Devious!

No, it was the NFL giving a retiring player a SB before he left.  The refs were paid all the way through to the SB.  Ray charles and Stevie Wonder could have called better games than the refs.

This is football!!! Get on the field and give the opposing team everything you got and let the best team win! If it's us, so be it! If it's them, fine! The Patriots can beat us 99 times out of every 100 times we play them! Who's to say if we meet them in the playoffs we catch them on that one time and squeeze out a win? Nobody knows jack! That's why they take the field!

    • Yeah... Richardson needs players who can separate and who can get open deep. IMO "give the inaccurate QB a contested catch receiver with large catch radius" is one of the tropes that hasn't proven to work well. Contested catches have about 50-55% success rate even with the best of contested catch receivers and with relatively accurate QBs... now if you think AR's accuracy is not good, drop that rate even more. The best way to give a relatively inaccurate QB better chance to complete passes is to give him a WR who separates and and who is open so the QB would have more of a margin for error to throw the ball a little behind or ahead or a little higher or lower than ideal. (we are not talking about uncatchable balls here... those will be uncatchable for anyone really). In that regard, one thing I would agree about is - we need WRs who have good hands and have good ball skills.   And this is ignoring that AR has indeed been pretty good with his accuracy on passes at intermediate and long range. His biggest problem coming into the league was the short stuff and he was already showing improvements in that deparment before he got injured.    And Worthy is the WR who created the most separation from anybody in this draft :   
    • Richardson  accuracy  on deep balls is his strength.  Hence why you pair an elite deep threat in worthy.
    • No.   You weren’t.   If you were the least bit sincere, we’d be having these conversations in private.  But you’ve repeatedly ignored my efforts to do that.  Your call.      Then you avoid me until I’m in an uncomfortable conversation with another poster.   You use that awkward moment as an excuse for you to come in with some sincere friendly advice.   The problem is, you’re neither sincere, nor friendly.  And you’ve been doing this for months now.  This is not new.   The pattern is clear and obvious.     And the shame of it all is that even with our different views on Ballard we have enough in common that we should be friendly.  Maybe not friends, but friendly.  You wouldn’t need to address me as “Sir.”    “Good deed going unpunished”.  You flatter yourself.     But your actions speak much louder than your words.   There’s no reason for me to trust you.  And here we are.  A real shame.      
    • In a year when the Colts were in serious need of a QB and in position to draft one, Ballard came up in front of the media 3 days before the draft and straight up said something to the effect of "That guy everybody in media is talking about(Levis), we are not taking him". I don't know why you think the Colts are trying to throw us off the scent this year specifically. They are not trying to give us away the pick(thus the vagueness), but I also don't really think they are trying to mislead anybody. This usually becomes specifically apparent in retrospect after the draft when you look back at a lot of those quotes in the videos they release pre-draft... and they were talking precisely about players we ended up drafting, which they reveal in the post-draft video by extending some of those quotes(they did that with AR last year for example).    And about why people are doing it(guessing who they are talking about) - because it is fun. Nobody has the illusion that we will be right in our guesses 100% of the time... or anywhere close really... but it's still fun. And it's part of why the Colts release those videos with those quotes - to create engagement with the fanbase... part of which, and the entirety of which that 70 pages thread and whole board is about in the offseason. is to guess who the Colts might take and how they might feel about specific prospects.
