Back In or Win In? Tonight's Big Game

[72TributeBike]

I would prefer Miami to be in must win situations from here on out. I have never been a fan of "backing-in" to the playoffs because of another team('s) loss.

Therefore...against the grain...I say...GO BALTIMORE!

 

[El Calebra]

You're nuts friend. I will take post season play any way we can get it. Go Lions!!!!!!!

 

[CamWakeForest]

Nope. Go Lions.

As long as the Dolphins win out I could care less what the Ravens do.

A Baltimore win eliminates the Jets and puts the Patriots in a pressure situation with no playoffs guaranteed.


The patriots will be much more relaxed next week in Baltimore if they have already clinched a playoff spot because of Lion win tonight.
If Lions lose, Patriots go to Baltimore knowing that if they lose it could come down to last game play in with Buffalo.
They don't want it to come to that.

I want the Patriots to have these thoughts...OH YES I DO!

GO BALTIMORE!

I say go Lions, so I can root against the Pats next weekend, as usual.

 

[PhinMagic]

We don't need Baltimore to lose to get in. Cinci lost last night, we win out and Baltimore wins out, we get the 6, ravens win the north and cinci goes home.

Obviously Win out. Why would anyone choose the Back In option?

 

[zach attach]

I don't want to see Miami in that loser column on tv anymore. I like the second column. It just feels right. Go Lions, keep the Ravens in the dreamer column!

 

[Hamhocs]

Losing 62-7 to the Jags is what happens when you back into the playoffs. Do Not Want. Do not care what happens tonight.

 

[Canadianfishfan]

Bottom line is, a Lions win makes it easier.

taking care of our own business makes it for certain.

Don't leave a God damned thing to chance. Take care of business so we don't have to give a **** what anyone else does.

Here is what officially needs to happen to get a playoff spot by this weekend....there will be a quiz on this later on.

Case 1

Dolphins beat Bills, and Lions beat Ravens, and Vikings beat Bengals.

Case 2

Dolphins beat Bills, and Lions beat Ravens, and Patriots beat Ravens.


Case 3

Dolphins beat Bills, and Vikings beat Bengals, and Patriots beat Ravens

 

[DolfanISS]

Go Lions, they if Baltimore loses tonight and to the Pats next week and we beat Buffalo I think we're in. Would love to rest our starters before the 1st wildcard game especially considering the injuries at CB. We aren't winning a playoff game with Wilson, Davis and Thomas as our CB's and the first game will be quite winnable. So GO LIONS!!!!

New England can still get the #1 seed if Denver loses one more game so why would they beat relaxed vs. Baltimore? Hell Miami could still win the division if they win out and NE loses to BAL and BUF.
