Thanks @Jett129!

Congrats to @Nocturama and thanks @Jett129 for the entertaining wrap ups. Looking forward to next year…maybe I’ll last more than one week

@Jett129 , any plans to start another round for the playoffs ?

[Jett129]

@scooter I thought about it and if they had both won I would have kept going until one or both of them lost. Maybe we’ll do something for the Super Bowl. It’s hard writing all this stuff every week. My brain needs a bye week.

@Jett129 “Brain needs a bye week” haha.

[Twistlock]

Thanks @Jett129 for orchestrating this! It was fun.

[Nocturama]

Thanks @Jett129 - great fun, and kudos for the write-ups each week.

@scooter not heard that before. I’ll be sure to send it on to my Bears supporting daughter!

Great game from Love last night.

[IrishHeart]

@Jett129 thanks so much for organising this and all your work in keeping everyone on track.

Give your brain a good rest so you are back ready to go next season!

Pardon my playoff ignorance, but it has been ages since the Ravens were #1 seed with a bye. Does this mean they do not play next week and then play one of the winning teams from this weekend, the following weekend, 20th or 21st? From there, is there one more game before the Super bowl or is that it? That would mean the Ravens only have one more game before the SB IF they win that one, correct? For some reason that does not seem right to me but I have a hard time understanding sometimes.

[Nocturama]

It is the Wild Card games next @Oaktavia, for which the Ravens will get a bye as the top seed in the AFC.
After that however, they will be back in for the Divisional round, followed by the Conference Championships - before the Super Bowl.
So, the Ravens may have up to 3 games left in total…

[Jett129]

@Oaktavia The Ravens have off/a bye this week. Next week they will play the lowest remaining seed. If they win that game they play whoever is the winner of the other AFC game,the winner of which,goes to the Super Bowl. Lets say all the home teams win. Texas would be the lowest seed and they'd go to Baltimore and KC would go to Buffalo. If The Ravens beat The Texans ,they would play the winner of the KC/Buffalo game in the AFC Championship game.

[Oaktavia]

OK, thanks @Jett129 so I was correct in my drawn out question. Ideally, this is what could happen for my team:

Win next week's game -------> go to the Super Bowl.

[Twistlock]

Ravens way to SB after bye:
Win divisonal round and then win AFC conference championship. So two more wins until SB @Oaktavia

[Choko]

With Buffalo’s win last night the Steelers play Buffalo next Sunday. We’re definitely gonna lose but making it to the playoffs still makes me feel good. TJ Watt isn’t gonna play so our defense is gonna look mediocre. I think it’s gonna be Ravens-49ers in the Super Bowl or what I really want, Lions-Ravens. The lions need a ring

Ahhhhh okay that makes more sense. Thank you my dude.

[Jett129]

@Oaktavia I think your biggest concern should be if Cleveland beats Texas,and they end up playing the Ravens. They don't know they're not supposed to be playing this good.

[Oaktavia]

@Jett129 it certainly is and I will be watching closely this weekend. Anxious as hell.
