Yeah, we have seen the Chiefs do a lot of mush rushes against Josh Allen, so we know they have that trick in their bag for sure. Makes sense to do it with Lamar Jackson also.

Watching the Ravens a bit again today, I just don’t see much difference in Jackson as a passer. He has better weapons and a more pass friendly scheme, but he still gets inconsistent when he’s moving to throw, and he still struggles throwing outside the numbers.

If you look closely you'll see the two most proven QB's they faced (Stafford and Watson) lit that defense up in Baltimore and Burrow was doing the same until he got injured. I'm digging into the numbers and tape but I think people might be surprised by how basic the list of QB's that defense has faced.

Why not just use Tap a Talk?

Yeah, like any QB you can pull together enough ok throws to make a youtube vid, but he certainly looked like the same passer as me... doesn't even look all that confident throwing the ball from what I saw the other day.

If you think Baltimore's weapons are worse than Buffalo's, I don't know what to tell you.

Kincaid and Shakir are up and coming, but lets not pretend they are studs yet.

Baltimore's weapons are Bona Fide by comparison to the Bills. If anything their production is more indicative of Jackson's limitations than his ability to produce. Jackson is a special player with the ball in his hands, but last I checked, running backs don't win championships. Any weapon is going to struggle to produce by traditional metrics when your QB distributes the ball all of 28.5 times a game in his FAR AND AWAY most pass-oriented year.

So yea, I do think the Raven's weapons have their hands tied, and all things being equal, are on par with, if not better than the Bills. I guess its a good thing Lamar is a good running back. It really elevates his team.

The texans were missing player but even so that'd be why they beat the chiefs, also seen the bills hold the cowboys to 3 and win throwing the ball under 100 yards.

To say the Bills had zero explosive plays is technically correct, but come on. Allen threw two perfect deep balls that were dropped. I don't think the Chiefs D played particularly well yesterday, but I tip the cap to Josh Allen. Having said that, Lamar Jackson just isn't as good as Josh Allen.

Just a reminder of how quickly Lamar chews up yards when he does decide to run. And damn, Fred Warner wasn't even close to touching him here.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Besides this being yet another ridiculous Lamar play, what cracks me up about it is Fred Warner on a dead sprint thinking he&#39;s just going to line Lamar up in the open field. <a href="https://t.co/riJttaPUVA">pic.twitter.com/riJttaPUVA</a></p>&mdash; Ryan Mink (@ryanmink) <a href="https://twitter.com/ryanmink/status/1740047508070633602?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 27, 2023</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Would love to score some tickets for this game, I’m from MD as well.

between the 20's... then it gets compacted. Hold them to 3, which was the plan last night, but Josh made to crazy 3 down throws in the redzone.

Perfect? The one was short and left and the receiver almost made an impossible catch on it. The pass to Diggs, who was very well covered and was thrown slightly to the outside and 50/50 catch at best. That was on the last drive too. So they miss a FG there or score a TD, we have the ball and 6 minutes to play...

The more I hear confident predictions against the chiefs, knowing that Mahomes also hears every word of it, the more confident I get that we'll win.

This team is a completely different animal in the playoffs, and I don't know why that's so hard for some people to grasp.

I referred to the "house money" as well. I feel like the AFC championship game was played in Buffalo last night. I really do. IMO Josh Allen is the 2nd best quarterback in the league and it isn't really a close 3rd. Allen played a near flawless game and left everything on the field and it still did not matter. A stadium full of Bills fans who knew that was the biggest game in their stadium in the past 30+ years poured their hearts and souls into that game and it still did not matter. I feel like that was the biggest obstacle left in our way. By far.

We are witnessing history. Mahomes is an absolute unicorn. He is the best quarterback that will ever play the game. His "over my dead body" mentality and downright refusal to let his team lose in these playoff moments is paralled in history by only Michael Jordan. I think our team knows we have the baddest MFer on the block and they are going to play free and loose from here on out. No more dropped passes. No stupid ass penalties. No turnovers. Jump on Mahomes' back and go secure the greatest dynasty and 6 year stretch the league has ever seen

They don’t have worse then buffalo, their both in the same group of mid though , also player by player who are you taking? Diggs or Flowers’s easy answer , shakir or washed obj? Easy answer , cooks or gus/hill easy answer , kincaid or likely? talking about passing metric while forgetting their like bottom 10 in passing attempts and run heavy and value efficiency over volume, joe Brady made Allen a game manager , Lamar is playmaker that’s going to be the difference
