I'd love for Baltimore to sneak in, assuming we get the 2 seed. Miami has no shot in Denver, and if Baltimore can do it again, I'd prefer play them in Foxboro to Denver in Denver.
 
Whoa ... deja vu

And why is that "most wins stat" misleading...?
 
 
I laughed at that too.  With both Brady and Manning missing full years, Flacco is obviously better.

Plus, Flacco usually gets an extra postseason game as Baltimore hasn't had too many byes.

After Baltimore wins this game, will they be right back at Cincy next week?
 
Well, Miami has to lose for Baltimore to get in, but if Miami lost, still unlikely. Indy is going to win, and they'd take over the 3. Assuming the Pats don't lose...then I guess Cincy does go back to the 3 and NE slides to 4.

It is not a misleading stat. Flacco has won the most games since he entered the NFL in 2008.  It would be misleading if CBS cherrypicked and said something like "Flacco has won the most games since Week 8 in 2009."

Too bad Eric Van isn't running the CBS graphics.

QB "wins" are more useless as a stat than pitcher "wins"

It's misleading if they're trying to show that Flacco has been the "best" QB in that timeframe based on that stat, especially with Brady and Manning having missed a full season each.

Thank god WBZ didn't put onthe Jets/Miami game. They usually pull that crap since it an AFC East matchup vs the Ravens/Cincy game.

I'm stuck in the airport and can't wait for the Pats to face CIN again. Dalton is a god awful QB.

Dierdork is a fucking moron.

In the first quarter he missed or misread every significant issue/play

Missed that a spot needed to be challenged

Said Tannehill made a bad or high throw over the middle when it was the only place to throw it

And thank Jah the Pats don't call plays like Miami. They might try to run all game on second and ten when they can't run the ball a lick
