Not to mention a missed tripping call on jones in the end zone and the multiple offensive holds. One which erased a touchdown from Rice.

That doesn't mean he's infallible. I understand he did what was necessary today and could have/would have put up more than 17 points if needed. But the fact of the matter is that the Chiefs didn't score a single point in the second half. And even the field goal was only there because of multiple personal fouls. Again, he's the best player in the world. But he could have been beat today by a better offense.

This is also funny as hell, because they interviewed Allegretti immediately after the game and he dropped an unedited F-bomb at 3.04. LMAO

Now a handful of bleeding hearts wanna tell you 'good game' because you came back for a post-script.

Don't need it. Don't want it. **** all the way back off to your message board full of other dipshit Ravens fans that insist Lamar is a pocket passer now and is winning games with his mind.

You're a dipshit. So is your QB. Your defense is full of dirty pieces of shit and the best player in franchise history is a murderer. Zay Flowers has taken his first step down the road of Ravens ignominy as well.

Keep telling yourself there's time - if it ain't now, when? Your window was more open than it will ever be again.

Have fun watching the NFL honors ceremony for the only trophy presentation your boys will have this year. Regular season honors are all you're gonna know for a looooooong while.

He plays on a good team that has completely tailored itself to take advantage of his strengths and has overall enjoyed a lot of (meaningless) success. But at the end of the day, he can't throw it when he needs to, doesn't have the ability to put his team on his back when he has to, and this has been proven time and time again. And Pat clearly lives in his head, and just made another addition this evening.

But another team didn't beat them, so.... meh.

Every damn year their season has gone at least to Overtime in the AFC title game. Long seasons. Less rest than other players around the league.

I would even say this applies to Andy Reid as well. He has had a longer season on average than any other head coach the last 6 years. Zero breaks when your team is making deep runs in the Playoffs. Harder to bring your A-game in the regular season when you know the Playoffs are the only thing that means a damn thing.

The Chiefs get everyone's best shot every week. They're on TV all the time. This year they dealt with the weird rest deficit stuff.

And Reid has a history of saving some things for the playoffs, as does Mahomes.

The Chiefs force you to play with your left hand.

Scores at the half in the previous 4 matchups (ravens defensive ranking):

2018: 17/10 CHIEFS (2nd)
2019: 23/6 CHIEFS (3rd)
2020: 27/10 CHIEFS (2nd)

So there’s not much to argue, I suppose. He may have lost a step, though I don’t think it’s much if so. Sneed is pretty fast himself and he had a good angle. I don’t think anyone in the league outside of Hill, Mostert or Achane outrun Sneed in that situation.

It was insane. The worst gameplan maybe ever.

Huge brainfart by their OC and Harbaugh for okaying any such plan. Just titanically stupid.

Sorta wonder if the Ravens wanted to prove a point, which got in the way of..ya know…winning the game.

Their defense wanted to make Mahomes pay for running. Which led to them playing out of control and racking up penalties.

Their offense maybe wanted to prove Lamar could win with his arm. Which led to them exposing him worse than most thought possible.

KC comes back with a strong drive for a TD. Baltimore starts feeling like they need to throw the ball. They hit the deep ball TD to tie the game. KC comes back with another very strong drive for a TD. I think at this point Baltimore felt like they had to keep throwing the ball the rest of the game. They should have showed more patience given that their defense allowed 0 points in the 2nd half.

Which seems nuts to me as well, because that's pretty much exactly what they did back a couple years ago when they were playing TEN in the playoffs, right? They got down by a couple scores in the first half, and completely shit kittens in their shorts in the 2nd half trying to throw the ball deep, and never came back to their running attack, iirc.


How the eff do you make the same exact mistake twice in the same situation?

Originally Posted by DRM08 (Post 17375775)

Two different OC's as well. Same "panic" mode while trailing by a reasonable enough margin that they could have leaned more on the run game instead of throwing it non-stop. So is Johnny Harbaugh the one pushing the panic button in these situations? Hard to blame the OC when it happened with 2 different guys in that job.
