Anyway it's more compelling to have 2 L A teams in the playoffs for marketing and Revenue.....
YoloinOhio Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 Looks like both Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler will be out with injury. They are down to Bo Oliver from UB at RB who hasn’t played all year. The raiders suck but Chargers are banged up and offense has been pretty bad last two weeks.

Yes the Raiders defense was stout (till the end) but Derek Carr was just flat out BRUTAL! Raiders had the ball under 2 min. Could easily have won 13-10. Carr's play this year has been odd. They'll be fired up in LA in front of their crazy Raider fans against their division rival. The key game is Cinncy.

They had a chance because of an Eagle turnover, not because of Carr. In fact they lost because Carr threw a pick. Here Carr's stat line: 15/29 140yds 1TD 2INT Brutal!

billsbackto81 Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 Bengals. They played Detroit tough and should be amped to knock the Ravens out of the race, or at least try. Jags can play their starters all game and still lose. I don't see the admiration with this team. They really aren't that good but are heading in the right direction like the Bills. The Raiders are hot garbage. We need the Bengals bad!!
RyanC883 Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 Bengals. They have the talent to do it. Hopefully they also have the motivation.

WTF what are the chances of that? Ugh I think if Bengals and Jaguars win and we take care of business in Miami we are in period. Am I right?

After what I saw with the Raiders last night I should have no confidence they can beat the Chargers, but for some reason I like that one better. What sucks is that every win we need is s road win, including our own. 1) BUF win + BAL loss OR 2) BUF win + LAC loss or tie + TEN loss or tie OR 3) BUF tie + LAC loss + TEN loss.
Success Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 The Ravens celebrated their last win like they made the playoffs. It’s a good sign. Bengals have a great chance to take it.
hondo in seattle Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 The good news is that the teams were competing with for the final wildcard spot are all pretty average and very capable of losing.

Estro Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) Vegas says the Raiders. I happen to think Cincy. I know the Ravens are on a run, and there defense is playing well, but I think they'll get a game from Cincy. We need Flacco to play a game he's capable of playing. He did not play well vs. the Colts last Sunday. Edited December 27, 2017 by Estro
transplantbillsfan Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 Bengals. I think they have a good shot. Division game. Marvin Lewis's last game against the team he made his name with. Win one for the gipper!

I guess we have been let down so many times that it’s human nature to expect the worst. Pretty much any year of the drought I would sign up for what we have. Somehow though, I just don’t believe it to be possible. I want to be wrong so bad. Articulated perfectly. I keep kind of hyping myself up, but it feels like a mirage. I just can't conceive it happening, and will be truly stunned if it does.
ExiledInIllinois Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 If only the Bills had beaten the Bengals. 1
EersN'Bills Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) I know I've harped on this in other threads but if only the Ravens actually played four of their opponents starting QBs. And that includes Rodgers, Watson and Luck. With that said, I say Bengals. They'll be trying to get a win in Lewis' final game, the Ravens look mediocre and keeping a division rival out of the playoffs is a bonus. And remember Lewis was the DC on that 2000 Ravens team, so he'll want to beat his old team. Edited December 27, 2017 by EersN'Bills Addition to respond to thread topic.

Both Jax and Raiders have nothing to play for. This is not happening. make it 18 seasons and counting, as we expected 4 months ago.
CSBill Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 Bengals, Carr seems to have really regressed this year.
