Agreed.

 

I also think alotttt of media wants BAL in biggest so many of them were high on the Ravens at the start of the season and them missing the playoffs would not be a great look for the masses. It ignores the fact that their schedule is no joke still, their tie breakers suck, and they still have injuries that have weakened a team that is not nearly the monster it was thought to be. Like Josh/Pat Lamar gives them a chance every day so you cannot discount that, but reality is a different thing too.

Let’s face it, the playoffs with Josh, Patty and Lamar is better than the playoffs with just Josh and Patty.

It is... Lamar with a Hammy, Derek Henry is different at the end of a season... I am not writing their obituary.. but if they do find their way in IMO it was be as historic as the Bills over taking the Dolphins a couple years ago to win the division... when they were down like 3 games with 5 to go... or whatever. It can be done... but I think its gonna be harder than a lot of people think

100% agree. The one difference is BUF was never under .500. Climbing out of 3-5 is a truly sizable and exhausting task. Buffalo had actually clinched a playoff spot before playing Miami in 23' and once they got by KC DAL the path looked relatively doable for the playoffs at least. Miami truly did blow that division crown and it is wild it ended up coming down to that.

Agree on most of this, but I think the Ravens will keep improving, getting healthy and their schedule is fairly light here on. I think they will be the team that is scary at playoff time. If we are in the AFC Championship game, I'd bet they are the team we play.

 

I don't think their schedule is inherently difficult - but 5 division games, New England, and GB on the road isn't particularly good.  Even Minnesota this weeks not really a cupcake.  Almost no margin for error.
