well....playoffs start a week early for us...

[NyQuil]

I'm going to laugh when the Ravens get dicked out of the playoffs in the second round.

Great coaching job by Tomlin this year. Switched out Picket for Rudolph was a nice move. 

Expand  

 

He didn't. Pickett was injured; he switched out Trubisky.

 

He's reliant on blue chip players on defense. The offense is pretty poor, but it works.

I love all the Mike Tomlin adulation now from the announcers. 3 weeks ago he was horrible for not having control of his players and was on his way out

Expand  

They have finished off the season well when it looked off the rails when they lost to the Cardinals and Patriots … he  deserves some credit in my view

Stupid play call by the Ravens.  Get the 1st down.

Expand  

I agree.

 

Not thrilled with the ravens play calls tonight. Should tailor his calls to the players on the field and the weather.  Don’t think he did either very well.

I agree…I’m scratching my head why Lamar didn’t play a drive or two

Yeh I would have run it where he leaves after a touchdown or even a field goal drive  to completely sit these guys man that’s playing with fire 

[BigDingus]

Mike Tomlin is a fantastic coach.

 

Aside from never finishing with a losing record, his teams almost always win the games they're supposed to win.

Rudolph is a bum.

Exactly. Shows you how good of a coach Tomlin is. When he had Ben he won rings.

Ravens didn’t purposefully lose.

Maybe.

 

But they did everything they could not to win. 😉

The guy has won like one playoff game in nearly a decade and ridiculously held on to his offensive coordinator when anyone with functional eyes could see he needed to go. Not sure his coaching deserves this much praise

The team that lost back to back home games against the Cardinals and Patriots could be in the playoffs lol

Expand  

the cardinals in 08 got beat by like a hundred vs the pats late in the year then went to the super bowl a few weeks later.

[UKBillFan]

If the Ravens wanted this they would be targeting the sidelines.

[Billsfanatic8989]

So it's likely win and in. Lose or out for us tomorrow.

 

If we can't beat an injury depleted Fins squad, we don't deserve it.

Happens when you wrap the 1 seed up early

Huntley is not good.

Huntley is a bag of poo.  My god

Would they have won this game had Harbaugh not decided to lay down?

So if the Jags win, we are in no matter what happens tomorrow night?

If the Jags lose, not win

Anyone suggesting Huntley should be our backup is high.
