In other words, Miami better win out.
 
Can someone explain to me why we can't get in beating Raiders and losing to Bill's if the Ravens lose to the giants? Is it a SOS scenario?

We're gonna finish 10-6 and not get in. But, we'll see a sub .500 team win the NFC East. And no, I'm not in favor of changing anything.

I disagree...there could be a clause stating finishing .500 or below subjects you to a conference tie breaker for the playoffs.

it’s a joke for a sub .500 team to be in the playoffs...period!
 
Nevermind. Quick Google search answered my question. For anyone wondering, Ravens losing to giants/beating Bengals doesn't help us in the case of a tie, because they will hold the tie breaker (conference record). The internet is a wonderful thing.
 
But Damn!!!..come on guys ...how cool is it to be talking playoffs this late in the year?
House money if we make the playoffs..
If we don’t?...draft choice is higher...boys !!!
We trending up,big time..

Believe it has to do with the conference record tiebreaker (record vs AFC) which we currently hold over them.

In the scenario that we beat the raiders but lose to the bills, we would end up 10-6 overall and 7-5 vs AFC. If Balt loses to NYG but beats Cin, they’ll also be 10-6 and 7-5 vs AFC.

The second tiebreaker is record within your division I believe. Both teams currently sit at 3-2 vs division, but a loss to the bills and a subsequent Ravens win over the Bengals would have us on the outside looking in
