KEIWAN RATLIFF!! Best PR of the year so far! Bengals at Ravens 31.
Aww dang, start at the 31 and end up having to punt?? That stinks. Bengals miss a golden chance to make it a 3 score game... at least they are able to pin the Ravens inside their own 10 on the punt.
Team RECORD - 7 quarters of shut-out football
4th DOWN!! Ravens are going for it!!!
Ahhhh crap, Ravens convert on 4th down
RAVENS CANNOT CONVERT ON THEIR 2nd 4th down attempt!! BENGALS TAKE THE BALL
HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Ravens MUFF the punt reception... BENGALS RECOVER!!!!!! !@#$

Man, definately right smack in the middle of the wildcard chase, and not to be too presumptuous, but Oakland at home ought to be a W to take us to 8-5. Right now, we may not have to win both the Indy and Denver game, but only one as long as we take care of business at home against the Raiders and Pittsburgh.

Baltimore Sun called the Bengals over Ravens yesterday. They said the Bengals would win because of the intangibles...ie, they needed it more. I didn't see the game but it didn't sound to me like the Ravens laid down. These two teams are dead even.
Here's my fear- the Bengals may be playing well enough to beat the Colts and the Broncos, neither of which is playing as well as they should be, but they may very well lose to the Steelers.

From Jerry Markbreit:
Most rules "make sense", but the rule I've never understood is the muff rule. What is the reasoning behind not allowing the kicking team to advance a muffed punt? --Bob Pleva, Spring Grove, Ill.
Editor's note: Jerry's initial answer has been changed slightly. The definition of a muff is as follows: touching of the ball prior to possessing the ball. The act of muffing the ball is not considered possession. In order to advance the ball, which the kicking team recovers, it has to be possessed by the receiving team first. But, the kicking team can also recover a muff, but it cannot be advanced. The people who wrote the rules of the game thought it was unfair to allow the kickers to recover a ball and advance it, unless the receiving team possessed it first.

Thanks for the explanation, that does make sense. It is the same concept that keeps a team who fumbles the ball and the defense temporarily picks up the ball but muffs it back to the offense from getting the advantage of a new set of downs simply because the D temporarily had the ball, but never really had "possession" of the ball.
Someone on another board tried to tell me that in a Bengals game against the Falcons that the refs messed up when John Thornton temporarily picked up a fumble that the Falcons got back. I explained the difference between a a muff and a fumble, he called me an idiot. Which is why I do most of my Bengals chatting here rather than the Bengals boards.

Does a 10-win season get them in the playoffs? Tall order, winning 10 but you gotta figure they're gonna beat the Raiders...I'll take our chances against the Steelers...that means we have to beat either the Broncos or the Colts to get to 10 wins. But will that even be enough?

But I like your logic better. If they want to prevent the case where it kicks off an offensive player who is not trying to catch the ball turning into a TD, that would be tolerable, but yea, when an NFL player is trying to catch the ball and gets close enough to touch it, he should catch it or suffer the consequences, whatever those may be.

It may come down to the Bengals or Broncos and the game on Christmas Eve may decide the WC. The division is not over yet either Bengals are 2 games back of Baltimore but next week while the Bengals play the Raiders the Ravens play the Chiefs. That looks like a good chance to gain a game on the Ravens.

I think 10-6 is a legitimate possibility, and that could get us into the playoffs. Oakland and Pittsburgh are both winnable, and Denver is the only team that can really give us problems outside of Indy. However, with a rookie QB at the helm, ill take the Bengals. Not to mention three of our next four are at home.
To deal with what we have had to deal with this season with injuries and the toughest schedule and still make the playoffs would be spectacular.

We can tie with the Chiefs with the head to head win, and the same if we beat the Broncos and tie. But winning in Indy and/or Denver will be a tall order.

The key is to beat Denver, because it's altogether possible that they both will finish up 10-6 and if you have the head-to-head victory, you'll get in.

The Bengals are a long shot at this point. The San Diego and Tampa games loom so large.That's the funny part. After the Baltimore loss folks were writing them off, but I kept on thinking that they had really only been beaten in one game, the other losses were close and could have gone either way. Imagine if they win those two winnable games, despite everything else, they would be tied for first with the Ravens. I do agree with the above post that 10-6 probably gets them in if the loss is to Indy since KC and Denver will probably both finish at 10-6 also. I actually think it is better for us if Baltimore beats KC next week. Sure, you may have to play all road games as the WC, but it is more likely we will make it in that way than winning the division at this point. Although, if we win out (highly unlikely, but possible considering Denver and Indy may have already played their best football), we could end up tied with the Ratbirds. Not sure where tiebreakers stand, though.

Winning at Denver or Indy are both long shots. There's nothing this team has shown me that says they can beat those teams. Shutting out Cleveland isn't that big of a deal. The Ravens are not an offensive juggernaut.
I'm not trying to be a negative nelly, but if this is where our hopes rest, then we are in trouble.
And Pittsburgh isn't going to be a cakewalk.

Denver is a major unknown right now due to the switch to Cutler. If he does well, they are Super Bowl contenders. If he's like Plummer, they won't make the playoffs.
If Cutler struggles, the Bengals probably are the better overall team. When the offense is going well, there's not a team in the NFL that will hold the Bengals under 17 points. (The only thing that kept them under 20 against Baltimore was poor RZ execution.i.e. poor play at times) If the D can slow the run, which they've been doing for a while now, they will beat the Broncos with a struggling QB.
If Cutler is Big Ben vol. 2, they're in serious trouble.
If the Broncos can't run the ball effectively, I pray he's Big Ben volume 2. Big Ben absent an extremely strong running game is not a good quarterback.

Go look at the Ravens last five wins. Cudos to our D for their best performance of the year at exactly the right time. Makes me wonder if Marvin did not start getting more involved with the D after the SD debacle. That happened when things started getting ugly during the Frazier regime. If so, I think he has to consider becoming involved more going forward.
Dom Heffner

Go look at the Ravens last five wins.
They were all against teams who gave up over 20 points a game to the entire league: Atlanta, New Orleans, Tennesee, Pittsburgh, and Cincy in game 1.
They've won with scores of 16, 15, and have lost with 3 and 7.
That's a third of their games where they've scored 16 points or less.
One of those teams they scored 16 on was Cleveland.
You are right: hats off to the Bengals "D"- for not allowing a pretty average offense to run over their average defense. :)
I'm liking their chances in Denver a little more as long as Cutler doesn't become Romo overnight. Denver only scores about 18 points a game, but then again, they haven't played the Bengals lol...

The Ravens scored in the 20s (usually mid to high) every game but this one since Billick took over as O coordinator. The D played well and I am not going to diminish that by holding a team that had been scoring in the 20s for 5 straight weeks to one late TD, and almost shut them out. Not to mention that is a major accomplishment to the same cast of characters that gave up 42 points in a half. Just giving credit where it is due.

Wild Card Teams:
Jets 7-5 (Buffalo, @ Minnesota, @Miami, Oakland)
Cincy 7-5 (Oakland, @ Indy, @ Denver, Pittsburgh)
Jacksonville 7-5 (Indy, @ Tenn, New England, @ KC)
Denver 7-4 (up 13-7 at half vs Seattle, @ SD, @ Arizona, Cincy, San Fran)
Kansas City 7-5 (Baltimore, @ SD, @ Oakland, Jacksonville)
Lets hope Denver loses tonight. At San Diego will be tough. @ Arizona & vs San Fran should be wins, and hopefully we can beat them. That would be our best case scenario putting Denver at 9 wins. I think they will end up with 11 wins.
- Jacksonville has a pretty tough schedule which puts them out of it IMO.
- Kansas City also has a hard last few games minus Oakland which also puts them out w/ only 9 wins
- Jets have it pretty easy
- Cincy has two winnable games, but also two tough games. Pray for a win against Denver or Indy
I think Denver has a very good chance of making it. The only other team would be the Jets with their easy schedule, but I don't think they are that great of a team so hopefully they lose two of their last 4 games.
The Bengals have a reasonable chance of making it, although it is definitely a long shot.

I just hope if they end up not in the playoffs it's by more than one win. If it turns out they miss it by one game, that roughing call on Justin Smith will cause a lot of Bengal fans to explode.

The remaining 4 games are all winnable. Indy is really struggling, and really have all year. Sure, Dallas is playing as good as anyone in the NFC, but Tennessee is a team they would normally beat. Denver also is a team on decline who has evidently played their best football in September. Oakland and Pittsburgh are home games a playoff team will win. If they don't, they are not a playoff team in every way.

Denver is beatable. Their defense has been exposed a bit and their offense is Ravens-like.

However, I think they've got momentum. I'm certainly willing the chalk the OAK game up as a win. They just need to figure out a way to win two of the last three.
Can Indy have already clinch by the time we play them? That could help us in that game.
