Bozosforall, the AFC North (with the Bungles and Clowns) may be competitive against each other, but certainly not against New England. The Patriots own the Steelers and Ravens.
————————————————-

Apparently you weren’t watching the last time the Pats and Steelers met.

The Ravens can’t clinch, even with a win, because they lost to the Titans. If they end up with the same record as the Titans at 10 and 6 they would be out of the playoffs (because they lost head to head) – unless the Steelers lost out and finished at 10 and 6 as well. However, they wouldn’t clinch the playoff spot until a tie or better with the Steelers is guaranteed (or if they are guaranteed a better record than the Titans). That can’t happen this weekend no matter what happens.

So, we have an oddity this weekend. The team that currently sits in the wild card spot can actually claim a playoff spot before the team that sits in first.

“The patriots own the steelers and ravens”

————————————————-

Aren’t you forgetting when Ray Rice took the first play from scrimmage 80 yards for a TD in Foxboro a couple years ago? Which led to a dominating road playoff win?

It’s the usual suspects: Pitt, Balt, NE. The only prediction that I will make is one of those three will represent the AFC in the Super Bowl.

——————————————

When’s the last time the Patriot’s were in the playoffs?

I’m trying to remember but the only things I’m picking up are words and numbers like

Rice, 159, yards, Brady, Three , interceptions

I don’t remeber the final score tho, care to remind me

Why do you/people hate the Steelers? We are a fun loving bunch who support our team since there is nothing else to do around here in the winter.

We have nothing in common with The Yankees who buy their championships, with Duke who recruit the best players every year and their fan base is a bit snobbish, Notre Dame who has its own television deal. The Heat since they signed the 3 clowns!

The Steelers are just good because they have made sound decisions since they hired Chuck Noll back in the 70s. Before then they were not very good.

===============================
Wrong! Ravens would have a better record against common opponents. Look it up….

And you were OK with that game sunday? They made Matt freakin Moore look like Aaron Rodgers.

*******************************
Matt Moore looked like Aaron Rodgers???
13/25 for 162 yards and 1 td

I can only hope ARod plays so well Sunday…. your comments actually make Sapp look smart. And he is a idiot!

We know who’s out, who’s in if they win enough and who needs help. Doubtful, that it will end in any manner prognosticated here.

One thing I am sure of; there are 15 teams under .500. They are done.

End of Discussion….

And you were OK with that game sunday? They made Matt freakin Moore look like Aaron Rodgers.

Nope, Sundays game blew chunks.

But the fact that you would use the same stupid line ( the raiders cant handle succeess) that Warren Sapp has been spewing every time he open his dumb mouth is just really annoying. Especially after they have overcome so much adversity this season to still be tied for first.

Again, the StD disChargers welcome that type mindset from their fan base. Maybe you should ask Santa for P Rivers Jeresy for xmas.

The Ravens do not have the inside track to the #1 seed…
Look on NFL.com, if both Pats and Ravens win out, then Pats finish at #1 in the AFC

Wrong. it’s not yet determined and couldn’t mathematically be until week 17. Too many variables. Nice try though.

Because they actually play in a competitive division…unlike the Pats, whose only half-assed competition has been the Jets for most of the last decade.

And you were OK with that game sunday? They made Matt freakin Moore look like Aaron Rodgers.

They also gave their head coach, not one, but two Gatorade showers after two regular season wins. Serious organizations don’t do this silly crap.

Coming from a guy with a Raiders/Chargers surname…hmmm, makes sense. I really don’t even need to dive into details, I’m sure you all understand where I’d go with it anyways.

Texans, and Patriots have 2 game leads plus tiebreaks over their divisions, so easier for them to clinch.

Steelers are Ravens both have a harder time clinching as a result. Steelers can clinch but Ravens can’t yet because Steelers hold a tiebreak over the Bengals who are one of the teams in the running for a wildcard. The Ravens have only played the Bengals once so that tiebreak is still up in the air.

So my Steelers clinch a playoff spot this week if they win and everyone else in the AFC loses? Got it!

Remember last year? SEA was the 4th ranked NFC playoff team…even though they had a losing record. Division winners are necessarily ranked 1-4, with the Wild Card teams ranking 5 and 6 in each conference.

Because of math.

I didnt know that Warren Sapp read this blog and posted as a r8rsfan?

Fans like you are pathetic, they just came off a 3 game win streak and losea road game to team that is making a habit of winning of late and you have one foot off the ledge.

Really? after the last 10 years of Raiders football you want to complain about a team tied for first place. You need another hobby… trying being a Chargers fan. Jumping on and off the Bandwagon is accepted in their fanbase.
