A handful of them have been playing with injuries. Especially in their secondary and RB has already been decimated. Is this possible? You can’t have more than 5-6 inactive players… this list has like 15 guys on it lol Quote
Drew21PA Posted January 1 Posted January 1 Yeah really hate this situation myself i don’t see a pitt or Jac loss - I just don’t see it sooooo we need to win period 3 Quote
zow2 Posted January 1 Posted January 1 I think a lot is being made of Baltimore mailing in this game in with backups. I still think they’d love to bounce the Steelers out and their backups are still good players including the QB, …and it’s in Baltimore. That being said, the last time Baltimore and Harbaugh won the SB was in 2012. They went into the playoffs losers of 4 of their last 5 games including the finale. So I don’t think Harbaugh is worried about losing momentum because of a loss, which kind of sucks. Quote

Baltimore does have really seasoned backups though and Huntley is much better than mason rudolph straight up so who knows feels like a ‘could go 3 points either direction when we have more info’ line to me…if the ravens starters play a half I think it’s a pick em i mean, Pitt is currently -4, so that's roughly an 11 point swing in the line if it were a normal week. i think the oddsmakers very much expect the Ravens to do a lot of resting of starters. even if they play a series or two.

Yea I don’t think there’s any way they play the full game but if ravens starters play a half it’s a pick em to me and the line will swing a few points Quote

Regardless of the circumstances, Bills will have lots of incentive to win and earn the 2 seed. Quote

This is a critical point. They hate the Steelers and are not going to give them a free pass into the playoffs. This the same team that has won like 20 straight games in the preseason. I would expect Lamar to play a portion of this game and Harbaugh will go after the win. Quote

They aren’t asking Rudolph to do that much, and he isn’t playing out of his mind. He is playing like a competent backup QB, which he is. Making accurate throws when he has time. Going through his progressions. Not forcing things. I never understood why the Steelers went with trubisky over him. It is clear that trubisky isn’t an NFL caliber QB. Quote

We'll see I remember watching a Rudolph game in his final year of college while sitting at a bar in Nashville. It was a nice afternoon. I was impressed and thought he would be a good (not great) NFL starter. Remember, I was sitting at a bar. 1 Quote
BigAl2526 Posted January 1 Posted January 1 I could see the Ravens playing starters for a quarter or so and then resting them. Quote

They may want to win but I see them playing it like a pre season game. Starters play a quarter, vanilla playbook and playing it safe. 1 Quote
Gman10 Posted January 1 Posted January 1 (edited) You would assume they rest the starters. The question is can the B team beat the Steelers? Edited January 1 by Gman10 Quote
billsfanmd07 Posted January 1 Posted January 1 Living here I see them alot. Huntley could prob start on 10 teams....He is mobile and can hit his WR. The ravens seem to have stable of RB that can all play. They have several TE as well. Their DL is stacked and they have a reputation to uphold. Its also at home. They need to cover Pickens and stop the run. We have 3 games next week to get us in.....2 we need the home team and us to be fins. I like our odds. 1 Quote

gonzo1105 Posted January 2 Posted January 2 Just to add to this, the Steelers dominated the Ravens in their first matchup. I’m sure they don’t want to get swept and B, the Steelers know the Ravens better than any team in the NFL Quote
MJS Posted January 2 Posted January 2 If they play, it is probably for like a quarter at the most. They'd be dumb to risk all their starters when they have nothing to play for. Quote
Turk71 Posted January 2 Posted January 2 Bills need to win, anything less is unacceptable. This team should be competing for a SB, not relying on luck to back into the #7 seed. I hope the Bills aren't even considering what their chances are if they lose. This is a must win. 2 1 Quote

Since they play the last game of the season there will be no wondering. I say go for the 2 seed regardless Quote
