Ravens treating this like a preseason game. Oh well. It’ll be fun to watch them lose in the first round again

This why it’s good to control our own destiny.  If we can’t beat Miami, we don’t deserve to be in the playoffs. I’m at peace with it…

I was at peace with this season after that Denver game. I didn't think we were a playoff team at that point but then we went on a run. If we get in, it'll be great & they will have earned it.

Today our season stands on a knife's edge, our backs against the wall. This team can decide who it wants to be with a win or a loss today.

I just hope we execute to the best of our ability, controlling the things we can.. Its one thing battling the other team or the refs, but when you create negative plays for yourself, or you turn the ball over, its just not the way I want to go out.

Its not about rest.  Its about not risking season ending injury when you are the favorite going into the playoffs.  Lamar or some other key players get hurt and the coach should be fired.  This game is meaningless.


Not to mention the weather/field concerns. The idea of the Ravens playing starters in this particular game is absurd. 
 

Gonna need some wild turnovers.

Think they were trying to get a PI on that play.

 

That’s what it felt like, but It’s still OK to try to catch the ball. 🤷‍♂️

No team purposely loses to hope another doesn’t make the playoffs.

 

Every player on the field is trying. Tale of the tape. Backup guys are looking for more money down the road and wouldn’t take a game off.

 

Collectively are they not as deep as I thought?  That could be it.

The Ravens rested their starters the last week in 2019 when they alsi had the 1 seed locked up. They wound up getting trounced by Tennessee in the divisional round. Bold decision by them to try the same thing again.... 

 

True.  But in their 2012 SB run, they lost their final game, finished 10-6 and won the Wild Card and rolled on.  Harbaugh has seen losing the final game in both extremes.

Pittsburg is also better than people are giving them credit for.
