    Too bad we got Par-kayed on MNF, we could have darn near eliminated the Ratbirds, now they're a near lock to get in...  

    PS, win the next two, and we're in.  🙂  

    The Phins can go 2-1 and we go 1-2 and they could be in-  looking at who the Ravens play they are essentially up against us

    I REALLY don't want to play them again. Sadly, it's the most likely scenario, right? I don't see any way that Ravens lose their games coming up. They won't even be close from what I'm seeing.

    Why would you think that?   All WCs play the division champs in the first round, so we would not see them there.  We would be more likely to see the Steelers.   Here would be the  matchups under the current standings:

    PLAYOFF MATCHUPS
    Miami at Pittsburgh
     
    Indianapolis at Buffalo
     
    Cleveland at Tennessee 
     
    KC with the bye.
     
    IF by chance the Browns were to beat TN in this scenario, and Buffalo and Pittsburgh won, we would then have to go to KC. 
    If you replace Miami with Baltimore, they would have to go to Pitt. 
    I am just not seeing under what circumstances we would ever play Baltimore, unless we both made the AFC title game..and then, OK
    Bring it ON!!

    We will not play them again unless it’s AFC championship.  I was saying the Dolphins are essentially fighting the Browns/Colts/Titans for a playoff spot.  Ravens are playing three teams wanting a premium draft pick

    Hey SD how are things in sunny ☀️ California ?   Isn't this fun kicking around playoff scenarios better than the alternative.

    We all know how much easier this could have been if they would have won that exciting CLE/BAL game -but-they didn't so we move on.

    First secure a spot then see who the BROWNS line up against, I personally don't like TEN so we'll see what happens starting with the CLE/NYG game.  Beginning of the year I thought this might be a gimmie but it's turned into a great flex matchup.  And of course:

    GO BROWNS, 10-4 over and out......baby !        😁

    Thanks for asking- i hope all is well in Youngstown.  The weather is perfect today 70 Sun.  We have some occasional brush fires pop up- had one really close Wednesday.  The fire crew out here is amazing.  A Wedgwood pie would make the day perfect- can’t have the best of both worlds.   


    I am ready for Browns playoff football.  18 long years!!!  And you are right the few times we’ve been involved this late-we needed a miracle.  
     

    If we get any type of output from the defense we can hang with ANYONE and beat anyone.  Hasn’t been the case since maybe the late 80s.

    Cool....that is different than the thing I pasted.   Here is what I found by playing with it: 

    If Browns win all 3, they are in  100%

    If they win 2 of 3, they are still 99% chance of getting in. 

    If the Browns lost to both Steelers and Giants, they still have an 80% chance of making the playoffs.

    If they lost to the Giants and the Jets, but beat the Steelers  they have a 77% chance. 

    If they lost to the Jets and the Steelers they would have a 73% chance. 

    ..but only 14% chance if they lose their last 3 games.  

    Because Giants are out of conference, losing to them would not hurt nearly as bad as losing to the Jets. 

    Yeah, I played with that simulator too.... The Dolphins only path to the playoffs is to win out.... One loss virtually cooks them, barring Baltimore suffering a major upset...  (right now they're double digit favorites against the Jags) 

    Too bad we got Par-kayed on MNF, we could have darn near eliminated the Ratbirds, now they're a near lock to get in...

    To me, it's still the three body gravitational rule.  Too complicated to predict.  More data needed.  

    IMO, we've gotta win 2 out of 3.  And that would be this 2 week stint in NY.

    Yep, they need to win 2 of 3.

    But in reality, for their future, I think they need to beat Pittsburgh. They need to finally beat Pittsburgh with Ben at QB and in a game that means something. 

    Going 11-5 for the season is phenomenal, but also going 0-4 vs Baltimore and Pittsburgh? 

    That would leave a bad taste in my mouth if I was a coach or player.

    Yeah.  It would wouldn't it......even if we did qualify for the playoffs.  We want to head into a playoff game on the heels of a win don't we.....
