Clinch playoffs Thursday night?

[Mista T]

I believe so. With a win over the Bengals, the Ravens would be 10-2 and the Bengals 6-6, a 4 game lead with 4 to play. With the Ravens owning the first tiebreaker (head to head), we'd clinch by beating the Bengals.

Forgettabout the Bengals players' whiny talk after getting beaten last month, or any other locker room material: the Ravens need no more motivation than knowing that this is the playoff clincher. Riding the wave of the Steelers stomping, I believe that our guys can do it.:thumbup:

Winning Thursday would clinch the division, but I have my sights set on a first round bye. That should be the goal at this point.

Keep the pedal pushed all the way down until the final gun fires on February 4th. Don't let up, just run over every team & every NFL talking head on every NFL show. Beat em up, intimidate them, run them over. Full throttle all the way.

I want a 1st round bye and home field. Let Manning and co. know the road to Miami comes through US, not the other way around.

I think the Colts, Bears, and Ravens all have a chance to clinch division titles this week, and because we play Thursday, we could officially be the first. Let's keep the same energy from our game on Sunday and carry it all the way to Cincy. While we can't crush their playoff hopes in one game like we could against the Steelers, we could make it nearly impossible for them, having to travel to Indy and Denver in back-to-back weeks.

And since they feel they got robbed in our last game, and coming off an impressive win of their own... this one's gonna be fierce.

Amen to all of the above!!!
