Must Be Ravens Fans In Week 9 - ItsOdellThurman - 11-01-2016
Our chances of winning the AFC North are astronomically greater if Baltimore beats Pittsburgh on Sunday. Simple as that.

Heck, I always root for the Bengals, the Vikings, and whoever is playing Shitsburgh....

They would have been greater if we would just win. I hate having to depend on another team.

That's not the point.
We have to WIN, WIN and WIN, but Baltimore beating Pittsburgh gives us a lot more control over the outcomes.
Pittsburgh has an easier schedule than Baltimore going forward, so for them to go essentially 2 games up on everyone, isn't best.
If the Ravens lose at home to the Steelers, they are just about done given their schedule.

Pitt beating ravens or vice versa does not give us more control. Winning does.

Pretty much.....
RE: Must Be Ravens Fans In Week 9 - Pat5775 - 11-01-2016
Well yeah, that pretty much goes without saying

It actually does. We have more control head to head because we play Baltimore twice.
Sure, if the Bengals just win 8 in a row, we're going to be in the playoffs. Be realistic. Most likely, if we go 6-2 or 5-3, it's going to come down to these tiebreakers and head to head wins.

Yeah. But now we are playing the "if" game. That stinks.
RE: Must Be Ravens Fans In Week 9 - TheCincinnatiKid - 11-02-2016
I can't see the AFC North sending more than 1 team to the playoffs this season. Therefore if the playoff streak is to continue, we need to win the division and so we need Baltimore to win this Sunday. It is pretty much that simple.

We're 3-4-1. Realistically, there's going to need to be some other results not involving the Bengals to go our way. To say "it doesn't matter, just win", is being very narrow-minded.
RE: Must Be Ravens Fans In Week 9 - Bengal Dude - 11-02-2016
Whenever the Ravens and Steelers face each other, I always root for the same person.
The asteroid.

And how are other results going to make this team win?
RE: Must Be Ravens Fans In Week 9 - Whacked - 11-02-2016
Rat Turds don't have a prayer. The Stoolers smell blood after we botched the Skins game and they know the division is officially theirs as the Bungles are back.
A "legitimate" franchise like the Stoolers that DEMANDS success from management, coaches and players will not blow a game like this AND will play at home like a home team SHOULD; defending their turf !!
Must be nice.
I can't stand the Stoolers and the Pats but I'm not going to lie - I'm envious !!!

They won't. We obviously have to pull our weight. But we're not going 8-0, and short of doing that, likely means we need help somewhere. It starts with rooting for Baltimore.

Same here. I think the Ravens can beat the Steelers too. Pitt is not that good.
