Your guys choked. Period.

The refs miss things every game - and they missed plenty that would have benefitted The Chiefs, too.

Blaming the refs is for losers.

Exactly.

KC dominated that game from start to finish. The only drives that didn't end in a punt ended in disaster in the red zone. There really isn't a week's worth of conversation to have about this game. I'm shocked this thread is still breathing...

With Burrow returning they know the #1 seed is going to be a bitter distant memory. Hell, a home playoff game just might be in that division. They really did completely shit the bed.

And it wasn't even a debatable game.

The coaching staff completely blew it. Lamar played horrible like he always does and like he always does he cost his team the game. It's the same as always only this time the OC/HC jumped on board with the bed shitting as well.

Watch out for Houston as they continue to build the roster around CJ Stroud. That team is potentially gonna be a Top 2 seed next season. It’s very possible Baltimore will find themselves on the road against Houston next year instead of a home game against the Texans.

Don't forget the holding on the end zone.
That would have made it 26-3

Put. The. Crack. Down.

*In the regular season*

Anthony Weaver DL coach going to the Dolphins. They're getting gutted

Keep this shit in DC you reerun. You want to discuss what was actually reported, then lets chat in DC.

AFC North gonna beat the hell out of eachother next year

It was the perfect year for Allen and Lamar. No Burrow and a struggling Chiefs team, and they still couldn’t get it done

Wait, what in the blue ****?

Yeah but we got all the calls in that game, holy shit thats bad

This is why i hate all the 'ref talk' when people start debating/arguing a game. Lots of Bengals fan cry about the holding call against Logan Wilson but the game wasn't over at that point. It wasn't even a bad call. The Bengals lost that game because they didn't do a good enough job in building an offensive line, starters and backups. You can't bring trash off the bench because your starter goes down and hope to win anything because it's the NFL and guys get hurt all the time. The second thing they did wrong in that game was to not allow the other team's best player(s) beat you. They allowed Cooper Kupp to go off on the last drive and they allowed Aaron Donald to jump on the QB in about 2 seconds on their final offensive drive. They even lost the AFCCG last year for the same reasons; trash oline guy and not recoginizing an All Pro is lined up one on one against him on the most crucial down in the most crucial time of the game.

Refs are bad. Across the board. They miss calls and make bad calls every game. There's no correcting that until they make them full-time, to where they can be in class and on the field studying year round. Even then, games are not going to be called 100% right most times.

The Chiefs have overcome all that because they have a front office that can draft and identify players that can patch better than others and they have a coach who can identify and plan accordingly, game to game. They scheme and execute, with good players better than everyone else. The Bengals have a core of starters to get there and lead, but they've failed in the other areas that are just as important.

Yall do not have that winning gene yet and your QB is soft like frat boy...........

I wonder if Lamar wants to go full Tater & want to replace Harbaugh with Vrable. He like what he did with Henry

So, the winning gene is the difference of 1.5 seconds?

IT IS TIME

LMAO Damn, they fined Flowers 10k for that taunting penalty.

Let this drop off the front page please. Other team trolls deserve indifference.

The refs! Losers always whine about the refs. Winners go home and f$%# the pop queen.

I miss Sean Connery

It would be different if they got ****ed by the refs but KC lost 13 points directly from bad calls. 4 from the phantom hold on the Rice TD. Blatant holding missed on a 4th down play on Baltimore only TD drive. 2 on tge missed safety. Ravens lost 0 points from poor calls.

Great points. Cincinnati has arguably the best QB in their history and are treating him like he was Andrew Luck. Jamar Chase is a great receiver, but he was the wrong pick long term. I get his short term value, but your QB is getting killed out there because another WR was more important than keeping your most important player upright and healthy.

A good GM like Veach watched what happened to Mahomes due to poor line play (all backups mind you) in SB 55. He spent the offseason focusing 100% on addressing that issue and has crushed it. He’s still doing what he has to in order to protect Mahomes. One team has elite WRs and is watching the SB from the house because their QB is injured again due to a weak offensive line. The other has lesser WRs yet is in their 4th SB in 5 years because their QB is healthy because he took very few hits.

That pop queen must be faaaaaat

Gfy

As a Super Bowl person, I have no need for non-Super Bowl people. I’m done with this thread.

Some interesting reading from Lamar land. Ravens Wire, USA Today

Are we ready to be honest about Lamar Jackson?

Larry Brown Jr.

After Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson lost again in the playoffs, it’s time to be honest about his shortcomings.

While offensive coordinator Todd Monken does deserve some blame for abandoning the running game, is Monken wrong for expecting his “MVP” to complete passes with accuracy and timing on three-step drops? Furthermore, Monken’s quick passing attack was the correct counter to the blitz scheme of Kansas City Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.



Jackson’s play was pedestrian at best, holding the ball too long in the pocket, dropping back 15-plus yards aimlessly on the first play, and throwing into triple coverage at a crucial point of the game. The Ravens were 3 of 11 on third down. Jackson went 20 for 37 through the air and was sacked four times, losing a fumble on one of them.

As a result of Jackson’s inability to lead the offense, the Ravens defense had to be on the field for 73 snaps. After shutting the Chiefs down entirely in the second half, the Ravens still had to wake up to the false narrative that Patrick Mahomes carved them up. Defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald didn’t even speak to the media before he decided to skip town.

Instead of presuming the Ravens will be back next season, Jackson needs to process the loss and know that the AFC North will be a much more challenging road in 2024. Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow will return from injury, and the Cleveland Browns will have running back Nick Chubb back from injury.

The Ravens didn’t sign Jackson to a five-year, $260 million contract last offseason for empty promises at the podium, locker room dance moves or his ability to win the MVP award. Jackson must improve his game as a pocket passer. It’s time to hold him accountable.

Yep. He killed it with the Humphrey and Smith picks in '21. The Bengals have been beyond bad in evaluating offensive linemen for a long long time. I wanted Humphrey and there were more than a few on the Bengals MB who were calling for taking a shot on Trey Smith. The Bengals were interested in Thuney but they historically just won't pay guards, so they probably low-balled him with an offer.

I'm not upset with the Chase pick because, as good as he is, Sewell is only 1 guy out of 5 and they'd still have 4 spots they'd need to hit on, so at least they got an elite talent for the QB. Plus they would have probably put him at LT due to his draft position and they weren't ready to move Williams at that point, which is a problem of it's own. They're just really bad at FA/draft/positioning offensive linemen.

Rewatching the game today to fill in the void.

Now they need to fine the scumbag who MMA kicked Pacheco as the ref stared right at him...

I see what you did there.

What does this even mean?

You have to play like a $260 million QB or else?

Maybe the Ravens should hold themselves accountable for signing a bad contract.

:doh!:

..and the scumbag for the left haymaker to the face of Mahomes.

..and the scumbag who leg whipped Jones shin.

Boy it does my heart a lot of good seeing this Pro Bowl filled with Ravens, Bills, and Bengals.

Baltimore Ravens Invitational… the Pro Bowl.

This is all that needs to be said. /Thread

I'm on to talking about winning teams...

Tucker can warm up wherever he wants

H I S T O R I C

Mahomes
Pacheco
Rice
Kelce
Creed
Thuney
Taylor
Jones
Karlaftis
Bolton
Mc Duffie
Sneed
Cook

All guys as good or better than what Baltimore has

Chiefs could easily put 10 plus in the PB every year

BINGO !!

Excellent analysis !! :thumb:

Yep, they knew before and buried this...

This aged remarkably well considering Zay is already in trouble

I think we should round up all the people who post youtube reaction videos, put them on an island, and nuke it.

Except the bizarre ones from creepy NFL fans after losses. My God. I love these kind of videos where you have to guess if the fans are sincerely behaving this way or if they discovered some glitch in the algorithm that gets them more views if they act like dickless wonders.

I couldn’t even make it 60 seconds into that feminine-esque blubbering. Good grief.

Same here. A minute of that weepy douche is five minutes too long.

Yeah wow, I only made to 1:07 with emo Urkel LMAO

I didnt know it was a thing to video yourself during a game until the SBvs niners.
Weird. just weird.

Then, post your self even after your team loses....even weirder.

It was like watching the creepy kid in school make an ass of himself when the head cheerleader won't go to the prom with him.

So I guess that guy is a 49ers fan? And just reeeeeeeally hates the Chiefs or some shit? Keeps talking about how bad at football Travis Kelce is and how Kittle is a way better player who can do exactly what Kelce does.

He must be trying to cultivate the angsty side of a football fan as his schtick. If he is, he needs to stop.

Sadly, even by glancing at it until our gag reflexes kick in, we're giving him exactly what he wants; clicks. I regret my part in that.

So when Lamar gets the #1 seed he gets to be MVP '19 & 23. He overachieved, here's your cookie!

Lamar is the MVP of overachieving low expectations of him as a passing QB, consider this context…

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GF7o8ulX...pg&name=medium

I'd want more credit for prescience but seriously - who DIDN'T see this coming? He's a Raven.

It's what they do.

A big reason why Lamar is so coddled is because he literally has an army of media pundits that will pull the race card the second he gets any criticism.

Hey, remember when Lamar was a savant? Told the offensive coordinator to run short passes at halftime? Good times.

Yep. But Lamar doesn't ask for their protection.

Then tried chucking it all day at KCs elite corners ROFL

I mean, I've bagged on Lamar all thread long but this ain't the comparison. Derek Carr is flat out awful and is pulling those stats off without any rushing yards and a positive passing script. Lamar is a really good QB for the system he plays in. Hes only overrated because he's constantly compared to mahomes let alone burrow and Josh Allen.

I don’t blame Lamar but it’s gotten way out of hand. The one guy who didn’t vote for him for MVP got called out by the usual suspects and has had to go on tv to explain himself for not voting for Lamar.

A savant, like Jason Avant.

He's also overrated because the style of QB he is has proven to be a consistent loser in the playoffs, against teams with better passing QBs.

I mean, if Jackson couldn't get it done THIS year, with the best roster around him he has ever had (and is likely to ever have, especially if Zay Flowers gets in real trouble), it's just not going to happen.

Patrick wasn’t even a unanimous MVP for his 5,000 yard, 50 TD season and I can’t say I remember any controversy about that in 2020 or 2023, for that matter.

Baltimore should give up on Lamar and draft Jason Bean

Cringe you gotta see to believe.

“Maryland governor declares Super Bowl Sunday to be Lamar Jackson Day.”

https://wtop.com/maryland/2024/02/su...rnor-declares/

LMAO

Yeah but that doesnt put him in the same company as Derek Carr who had an atrocious season. He's a good enough qb. He just doesn't belong anywhere near guys like mahomes or even burrow. But it also still puts him ahead of guys like Herbert and Dak who are also miles ahead of Carr.

He's overrated and not tier 1 but he's still comfortably been one of the better qbs in the league.

What the **** LMAO

That whole state got bamboozled, and they continue to quadruple down. I wonder if they’re gonna be in shock when they turn on the SB and LameArm isn’t playing in it.

They might as well celebrate something as it won’t be a SB win.

Nah.

There's like ten guys I'd choose before I would go with Lamar.

Remember, you have to pay him and field a team.

Nope.

He's a good enough QB for what?

To win a bunch of regular season games and wilt in the playoffs? I agree.

I'd take Herbert and even Dak without blinking instead of Jackson.

Mahomes
Allen
Burrow
Stroud
Hurts
Herbert
Dak
Love
Stafford

That's 9 no question I want over Jackson. And I would put Cousins in the "coin toss" conversation.

Lamar Jackson aka Pyrite

Because he doesn’t come from “the culture” as it was explained to me.

As a Maryland resident I find this both hilarious and sad.

I haven't heard any chirping. This is usually a cawing bunch
