They totally abandoned the run game again, not to mention the costly turnovers. And despite all that, our defense STILL gave us numerous chances to get back in this game. They were lights out in the 2nd half. This loss is totally on Lamar, Zay, and coaching for deviating from a winning formula of balanced running with a good mix of passing. It was ugly, frustrating, and hard to watch.
@@biguzivertt he's a rookie.. Doesn't understand implications yet. He let them get under his skin, took him off his game, and he fumbled a desperately needed TD.
@@Nasa-cosmonaut ur in the afc title game and the ravens have pride themselves being a team that doesn’t let people get to them like that. he was unprepared for the chiefs shit talk
If one were cynical you'd think this game was thrown so Taylor could get all of her minions to watch the Super Bowl. I mean, I'm sure this didn't happen because Lamar played so well.
They gave up on the run far too soon, dumb penalties, anxiousness by lots of players, Lamar couldn't read anything and was crazy innacurate, just a horrible performance by the ravens. The chiefs are letting immature teams beat themselves while they trust one another.
I know they don’t have Swift paying off refs. Called two or three holdings on Chief, but let block in the back on Ravens first punt, multiple pass interference on Chiefs, multiple unsportsmanlike conduct on Kelce, Chris Jones face mask, Lamar Jackson roughing the passer all slide.
I'd given Lamar the benefit of the doubt after his rough first few playoff games, but this one he had everything needed to give him a good shot at the win and he just flat out choked. Can't lose this game at home when your defense holds Mahomes to 17pts if you wanna be "that guy." So far Mahomes is the only active QB that has proven he really is HIM.
@@Scottydoesntknow1989what excuses every ravens fan has said the offense choked they may have been a few no calls but that doesn’t explain why we only scored 1 td the whole game. And then we got Lamar choosing to pass when he has a clear lane to run 🤦♂️
@@killersan6857 the person has made comments that prove they do not watch football they are a troll stop interacting they do it to get a rise out of us!! Chin up Ravens!! We made it further then any of the others so if we choked what does that say for everyone else?? We are still number 1 in my book!! We will get them next year!!
@@Scottydoesntknow1989 No excuses and we just loss 🤷🏾♂️ but that won’t stop me from liking them or cheering for them. Next Year Flock Nation ! 💜🖤💜🖤💜 🐦⬛ ✌🏾
@@PessimisticRavensFamThe Texans are the Cowboys of the AFC. They can make some noise in the regular season, but when push comes to shove, they can’t get into the conference championship.
@@PessimisticRavensFam True - Ravens/Niners is a great comparison. Since those teams at least win playoff games, unlike the Cowboys who barely even do that
3 carries each for Hill and Edwards is just mind boggling. I thought Greg Roman was to blame for the bad play calling but maybe it’s actually Harbaugh lol
@@donovan4222 Mark Ingram & Gus Edwards had 6 & 3 carries, respectively, in '19, too. Albeit Mark exited early. (calf) However, 3 carries for Gus in both losses was perplexing IDC. Coach 'Harbs' is undoubtedly the common denominator. He needs to be investigated. And I stand on that...
Also it was raining and cold. The Chiefs seemed to realize this with how they kept trying to force the run even though they could have kept their foot on the gas.
More playoff experience is good, they could easily return to afc championship next year. Hopefully Lamar learns how to prepare next time and stay more clam/buttoned up, and the coaching staff doesn’t abandon the run game.
@@pierceliu9914Ehh not exactly. The defense was great, but the ravens offense was also dominant all season. If the defense is like 20% worse and the offense is the same, the ravens would still be back in the playoffs. Most of their key players are young and will develop, and they have the cash to retain most of their key defensive players. The bills have way worse contract issues than the ravens do.
@@Scottydoesntknow1989Ray brought Baltimore 1 championship, in his 2nd Super Bowl Ray was mostly just along for the ride. Also, that playoff choker is still a top 4 quarterback in the league, arguably 2nd best.
@@Scottydoesntknow1989 “purely based on all talk” lol not sure what this means? “None of his current stats support that” I’d say getting to the AFC championship, having the highest win percentage in the league, and winning 2 MVPs is enough to make him the 2nd best quarterback. Although you could argue Burrow or Allen, which is why I said arguable. “He is just an average QB” LMFAO now I know you are trolling. No need to read the rest…
@@Scottydoesntknow1989 It’s a qb stat because you can look at the ravens before Lamar and with Lamar. They went from 8-9 last year with Flacco, to a playoff team when he took over and every year after when he is healthy. Also, Lamar individually has the highest win percentage in the league, while leading his team in passing and rushing, doesn’t get much more MVP than that. Lamar is 4th in passer rating, and you are excluding his rushing stats so you can make his numbers look lower lmao. Do the yards not count when you rush for them or something? Also, Lamar’s impact goes beyond stats. Gus Edward’s was walking into the end zone untouched like 15 times this season because the defense is worried about Lamar keeping the ball. He has 2 MVPs, everyone already knows he won the 2nd one, no need to pretend. Also, playoffs don’t affect the MVP voting you goofball. The voting is already done before the AFC championship haplened and they don’t vote based on playoffs anyways. Peyton manning lost 20-3 in the divisional round when he won his 2nd MVP. “He got to the championship game via his #1 defense” His defense didn’t score 4 touchdowns against the Texans the week before to get them to the championship you 🤡
Lamar stunk. Teams defend the run against us, not the pass. That play you showed had 7 in the box. I've had it with the “The receivers aren't getting open.” comments. Someone needs to tell Lamar that his throwing mechanics are horrible and probably account for all of his missed throws. In my opinion, Lamar has two to three years left to prove he can throw the ball on a playoff level, or he’ll be out of the NFL. How can anyone get excited about this team winning in the regular season anymore?
What an idiotic take 😭 he won an MVP and took them to the AFC championship as the 1 seed, but he shouldn’t get paid because he didn’t beat Patrick Mahomes in the 1st year of his contract? That’s absolutely delusional…Lamar is going to make them Super Bowl contenders for the next 5+ years. Thats why you pay franchise QBs when you get them. If the ravens didn’t pay him, they wouldn’t even be in the playoffs.
I've been following Lamar this season since i had him on fantasy. With the new pass first system, they have him sitting in the pocket longer and this guy sometimes takes too long to go through his progressions before making a decision. He took so many unnecessary sacks and got stripped sack so many times. It's a double-edged sword.
Yeah Mahomes had some solid plays in the first half, but you really have to credit the Chiefs defense, they played unbelievably well and it really came down to them.
How did Hulk Hogan or Ric Flair stay on top for all those years. They had millions of fans that loved them and spent shitloads of money buying everything that had their names on it. Maholmes and Kelce are the same way. Now that Taylor swift has teamed up with them to get her crowd in on it the K.C. fan base has doubled in size. You can't imagine the amount of money that generates. The game is rigged!
I give more credit to the coaching and defense than Mahomes. Mahomes was good and didn’t make any big mistakes, but he got shut out the 2nd half and went 3 and out 3 times. He gave the ravens multiple chances to come back, but Reid and Spags coaches circles around Harbaugh and Monken.
tell em again. They might have abandoned the run way too early but that means the ball was put in the hands of the MVP and he stunk again in the playoffs
Kinda reminds me of 2004 Peyton manning coming off of his 2nd MVP and arguably best QB season of all time, then losing 20-3 to New England in the divisional round.
The Chiefs defense doesn't get enough credit. With having Patrick Mahomes on the offense they are often overlooked. Chiefs defense is simply amazing!! The Ravens panicked when they were playing from behind. The Ravens were out played and out coached. Penalties are so costly.
Now we have to hear another entire off-season and all next season about how the Ravens choke in the playoffs. The window is still open, but closing fast.
@@BabyKnotty Nobody was even talking about flacco but flacco won a super bowl and if lee evans dont drop that pass they might have won a second. what a stupid comment lol
Chris Jones said after the game that it was the whole strategy of the Chiefs to make Baltimore throw the ball. If they could get up by a couple of scores, Baltimore would abandon the run and throw against an awesome Chiefs defense that has held teams down all season. You keep giving Mahomes chances and a defense that can keep you in check, and game over. All Mahomes had to do was burn clock and game manage at that point. That's exactly what they did. They only needed to do what was needed to win the game. Chiefs defense is who won this game. Mahomes WR's weren't on the same level as Baltimore's, but still pulled off the win. It truly was an amazing strategy and execution on behalf of the Chief's coaching staff.
Eh. The real nail in the coffin was Lamar’s interception into triple coverage. That makes it a one score game with over 6 minutes left. After that the Chiefs played bend don’t break and let the Ravens burn clock to only come away with 3, and then Mahomes iced the game by getting a first down after forcing them to burn their timeouts.
@@colten53 Yup. This. Worst throw I've ever seen. And ZERO situational awareness and IQ. Zay was their best player all day. Easy. Effort play lead to a fumble. Lamar was dog poop in that game. 😂
Ravens did what I have seen countless teams do in playoffs. Try to get cute and abandon what got them there. I was rooting for Lamar, but people need to understand he has been in the league for six seasons. The guy is not throwing you to a Super Bowl. Just the facts, that is not who he is or who he will ever be. The Chiefs left the door open that whole game. That was his moment, and he could not put them on his back. The coaches for sure blew it along with flowers, but damn man. As of right now, Lamar is tier 2 QB who shouldn't be in MVP conversation. There are 3 people that deserve that award more than him.
Blame this on the coaches. How do you not run the ball and control the game. Gus Edwards had 3 carries for 20 yards. Our running backs had six carries total against a team that the Bills ran all over. We were a one dimensional team. Watched Colin Cowherd who said he was baffled at the Ravens play calling. Saying it was the worst playing calling he has ever seen. The Ravens ran for over 240 yards against Houston and didn't even try against K.C who isn't great against the run.
I’m a Ravens fan, and will no longer be hyped in the offseason. This team clearly has a ceiling and I have 5 years of history in the Lamar area supporting it. The bottleneck in big games is always the offense. 10 against the Chiefs, 3 against the Bills, and 12 against the Titans. You have to go back to Lamar’s rookie season to even get 17. It’s never gonna get it done. This team struggles to put up 2 touchdowns way too often in the playoffs. It’s mental.
@@donovan4222 I totally agree. They’re absolutely capable of doing the things we expect. It’s just a weird mental thing where they lose their identity when it matters most. Even looking at the Lions, and Bills losses for example. They never lost their identity. It was still a good game, and the best team won. These Ravens games become just hard to watch. It’s bad football on one side from the coin toss. Mental mistakes, bad play calls, bad fundamentals, bad clock management, bad sticks management, just everything. I mean just CONSTANTLY behind on the sticks. 1/2 yards on first down, and then try to get 25 on second. It’s extremely low tier football. The floor for this offense should not still be that low 5 years later. They’re never prepared, and I don’t know what the answer is. Maybe a regime/philosophy change because this is certainly old and stale. There isn’t any more excuses to make.
@@mikemonroe9167 Yeah I think it’s a combination of Lamar and Harbaugh not having the team buttoned up and ready. It reminds me a bit of Peyton manning how when he got to the playoffs he would lose a games because he would be trying to do too much, throwing the ball too hard, holding onto it for too long, etc. And Harbaugh needs to have an offensive game plan, you can’t just let Monken only give 6 handoffs to running backs all game when you are the #1 rush offense, Lamar and the offense just never got into a rhythm.
On the defensive side, this game went exactly as I figured it would go. KC starts well, but then gets tired and worn out -> Ravens defence shuts them down. KC only punted in the second half, but bad fouls and terrible decisions by the Ravens offence prevented them from coming back in the game.
@@JohnnyZeroBoo I can't attribute unforced errors from the Ravens offence to the KC defence, but of course the KC defence was great, as it had been all season.
The Chiefs also got extremely conservative on purpose after the first two drives. Mahomes never gave the defense a chance to put the Ravens back in the game. No strip sacks. No close interceptionable passes... Call things unforced... But this whole seaon the Ravens are blowing out teams and making them look silly and the Chiefs and Spags said... Lamar we don't think you can beat us with your arm... And they were right.
@@JohnnyZeroBoo It's not like Mahomes turns it over in the postseason regardless. I don't believe you go full conservative when you're only up by 1 TD or even a TD and a FG. I do credit the Ravens defence for locking everything up in the second half.
You run all over the 49ers, the Lions, embarrassing them! And then, you abandon the run in the biggest game of the year. Including, Lamar not scrambling for first down when he had opportunities. Why?
Still support the ravens despite this hurtful loss but I've got to make these TWO points-the team MUST use this loss as MOTIVATION for next season. 2. The RAVENS DEFENSE locked up the Chiefs in the 2nd half- the decision making of Harbs & MONKEN put the team at a disadvantage-why only ran the ball 8X for the best rushing team-it's INEXCUSABLE. MONKEN & HARBS MUST GO-ASAP.
Monken needs to stay (still a great OC) but he’s definitely the reason why the Ravens lost this game. Great play calling all year but shits the bed in the biggest game of the season. He needs to be questioned.
Gave up on the running game. The number one rushing offense in the NFL ran the ball a handful of downs. Harbaugh and the offensive coaches should be looking for a job!
I told everyone last week after I watched the Texans game that Chiefs will win. Texans offense had no chance so Lamar did not have to make any throws over 15 yards. Chiefs were playing in front so Lamar couldn’t do what he liked. Short passing game or run the ball is what he wants to do. And Texans pass rush was not disclipined on the edge. Chiefs mostly bull rushed, I have no idea why Texans were speed rushing allowing easy rushing lanes up the middle for him.
Andy got his team together pre game and said....." look these guys are talented but also young, dumb, inexperienced and undisciplined....let tgem crash n burn....see ya in vegas".......
Ravens didn't run enough and seemed to forget they had Justin tucker. U don't NEED to force things in the opponents territory you have a automatic 3 points
Ravens OC called 1 of the worst games I've seen in a while. Lamar didn't play as well as he should've, but no one was open. More importantly, you beat Mahomes by keeping him off the field with the run game. Just astoundingly stupid gameplan by the Ravens.
What went wrong? They paid too much $52M a year for an overrated player that chokes every year. Oh well,vyou should blame Deshaun 'Happy Ending' Watson for that overpay since he's the baseline for QB salary.
I can not find any of my friends who are ravens fans on Facebook. I think they've been abducted 😂. But that pass to himself is one of the greatest passes I ever seen.
I feel the ravens didn't play to their strengths and instead tried to win with Lamars arm only. Lamar legs are what makes him special, along with good Qb play.
Let’s be completely honest instead of spreading a bullshit narrative. Todd Monkin did his offense no favors with his play calling. You have the number 1 rushing offense in the league and you abandoned the running game by the end of the 1st half. Your two Rb’s have 6 carries between the both of them. Smh
@@FantasySportsZen He might have to start doing that, but as a coach there has to be some accountability for why Harbaugh signed off on 6 running back carries when you’re the leagues #1 rushing offense. Reid and Spag coached circles around them.
The LJ apologists will be in full on excuse mode on Monday. Take every playoff minute he has competed in and you will be generous if you say he has been bad in 80% of it….
Chiefs playing ahead was the reason why the defense was so good. The two splash plays were busted coverage. Chiefs rushed much better than demeco Texans. I have no idea why the Texans DEs kept on running pass Lamar. Chiefs did not do that. U will not sack lamar from behind, he will just take the rushing lane.
@@donovan4222 no that’s a silly take. I only watched the last few minutes of that game because l thought the Ravens were going to crush the Chiefs. In 2019 the Ravens were the best team in football and they sent a record number of players to the Pro Bowl only to get bounced by the Titans who barely got into the playoffs. Every year since people have been saying “Lamar doesn’t have a good team around him” This was the year to prove everybody wrong with everyone healthy except for Andrews and he choked the Chiefs put up zero points in the second half zero!!! There’s no way that the Ravens should have lost that game.
One thing i will say about hurts is he is very composed. Hes proven he can make deep playoff runs with the right factors in play. Im excited to see if the eagles sink or swim next season.
From the get go they should’ve played to their strength and run the ball. Lamar stood too long in the pocket instead of scrambling and tucking and running it playing his game. Chiefs left opportunities in the second half and the ravens didn’t take advantage of it. Hats off to the chiefs.
man what a sad performance. it's really difficult to win when you have to play against yourself and the opponent and the refs. If you want give the chiefs credit, they at least don't beat themselves so even when they play bad, they still have a shot to win. until the ravens can stop beating themselves, they will never win anything.
Lamar chokes again and harbaugh gets out coached. Abandoned the run in first quarter. I was at game chiefs dominated time of possession and ever statistical metric.
We had a fantastic season. Arguably our best. The reds did fuck us but in the end, old demons came out and haunted us. The Chiefs took our formula and beat us at our own game. Costly errors in the most crucial moments. Guys, if you really wanna win it all, you gotta trust what got you there. We played phenomenal balanced and generally mistake free football pretty much all year. Just play the same game we’ve done every week and you’d easily handle the chiefs. You let them play head games and get you out of rhythm. I hope that the lesson was learned. We still have a shot next year but in order to be a champion, you cannot beat yourselves.
Neither the Lions nor the 49ers have anything to be ashamed of. They both had great seasons. Definitely something to build on for next year. That said, congrats to Mahomes and the Chiefs on their 3rd SB ring!!!
@@Scottydoesntknow1989 - You're probably right about Purdy not choking against Mahomes, since he likely won't get the chance to. Right now, Purdy is getting his azz kicked, 21-7.....and counting
How did the Ravens win a superbowl in 2000? It wasn't just Ray Lewis: Ravens had nothing on offense as 2000 superbowl champions? Searching for a consistent runner, the Ravens gave Holmes a chance in '98. He responded by gaining 1,008 yards in 13 games as a starter, but those numbers didn't impress Brian Billick, who became head coach in '99. Billick craved a burly back for his power-running attack, and the 213-pound Holmes was deemed too slight to take the pounding that a featured back takes in the NFL. Billick drafted Jamal Lewis. Jamal Lewis (Rookie) 309 attempts 1,364 yards 6 TD 27 rec 296 yards 11.0 yds avg. Priest Holmes 137 attempts 537 yards 2 TD 32 rec 221 yards receiving 6.9 yds avg. Shannon Sharpe (2-time superbowl wins in Denver) 67 rec 810 yards 5 TD 12.1 yds avg.
I really thought that Ravens were not only going to win but win big today. I thought Lamar would have 1-2 rushing TDs and throw for at least 2 more. Suffocating defense and a great running game is a great formula and has worked well for this team in the past. I really thought it was going to be something like 35-10 Ravens. How does Gus Edwards only get 3 touches? Mark Andrews only targeted 2 times? Lamar only had 8 rushes. I dont understand the play selection today. I really thought that Baltimore would be raising the Lombardi this year.
We’ve seen since the beginning of the season Lamar’s strength is not throwing to the deep corner/out/fade. Those throws to the outside he usually overthrows the receiver so idk why they tried to force the issue. They abandoned the run completely, I saw so many holes for Lamar to take off and he hesitated.
Chiefs really didn’t do shit in the whole 2nd half. They had a good plan very early but once the defense settled in they balled out. The number one problem in this game was lack of the run game. 2. Stupid ass turnovers. 3. Fuck you if you don’t think the officiating was lobsided, that pick was clear pass interference on Likely. But, chiefs have playoff pedigree and a great coach. Lamar will learn I have faith
Lamar is an average thrower, sure when you include his rushing abilities, he is top 5 in the league, but in the playoffs you need that elite throws, any way he looks like a great guy, hope he can make it to the Super Bowl one day
He pretty much pads his stats against bad teams or when the defense helps him get out to an early lead. When it’s equal footing and everyone knows he has to pass on third and long into a tight window, he can’t do it.
Last play, Odell is literally wide open.. 1-1 with a safety on an inside route.. monken and harbaugh did not know how to utilize Odell. His connection with Lamar was growing into a thing of beauty. Sometimes I really do wonder if we actually want to win another superbowl … Agholor was not the answer.
Lamar totally shit the bed in the playoffs yet again. And the play calling was atrocious. Ravens struggle against really good coaching staffs and the chiefs epitomize this.
Nope, The Ravens threw this game on purpose. I dont believe it was a choke at all. If I was a Ravens fan I would be asking questions because I dont believe for a minute this was legit game. The Chiefs are a very beatable team with an average defense at best. With so many horrible ref calls in big games and billions in gambling money and teams like the Ravens, an elite team, playing like a high school team in the AFC championship? No way. The NFL has no credibility.
Mahomes, Burrows and Allen > Lamar You can't be Elite QB if you constantly choke like Jackson does. He is a very good QB like Dak - def not Elite And not Clutch in the playoffs. He and Dak literally have identical playoff records rn😂(or close 2-5 vs 2-4)
Allen chokes when it matters also bum, always against the chiefs as well Until one of them goes and dominates in the Super Bowl they are all in the same boat
@kevinmancia8708 He literally has the best playoff stats in nfl history, just admit you have no idea what your talking about. Josh Allen was downright special in that game last week but no one could catch the ball. Was his “choke” not checking it down on that last drive? That’s a massive stretch lmao
I agree - if you weren't gonna beat the Chiefs now at arguably their worst, when will you beat them? They'll likely be even better next year and the years following. Also, the Ravens roster was LOADED on offense and defense
What's crazy to me all season long this Ravens team straight up beat the crap out of people but then the game before the Super Bowl they finally lay an egg What??? It wasn't all Lamar Jackson fault but he could have done more running around to make something of nothing
Despite all the immaturity/penalties on defense, they did their job by holding the Chiefs to 17. This loss was 90% on Lamar - he sat in the pocket/held the ball too long, he didn't feel pressure or adjust to the blitz, he continually overthrew receivers on deep shots, he ignored open checkdown targets & tried to force the ball downfield, & he turned over the ball twice. During one of their last drives (the one that ended in a pick IIRC), there were at least TWO plays where a receiver was open within 5-10 yards & Lamar ignored them & tried to force the ball downfield (which fell incomplete both times).
They’re acting like the fix was in as if the NFL and ESPN wouldn’t be jerking themselves off over Lamar being in a Super Bowl. They’ve already crowned him MVP even though like 12 other QBs have better stats than him and he has a top 5 defense.
We did not choke ....we made mistakes but definitely didn't choke...choking would indicate a big blow out loss and that did not happen so you were saying?
The way this game was run adds ammo to the "rigged" conspiracy (whatever the goal of the rigging was). Watching this game, I immediately saw problems with the usage of the RB. Justice Hill was on the field WAY too much. Rushing, he is a decent back but really brings nothing to the table that simply allowing Lamar to run doesn't. He's not a power guy, and he definitely doesn't have better moves than Lamar. In pass protection,he's not as big as Edward's and doesn't provide any benefit. I actually saw him miss his block on multiple plays. Justice Hills' only decent advantage is catching out of the back field. The problem here is to really make this work against a team with as much skill in coverage you needed someone who could capitalize with speed. The Ravens had great success with out of the back field work with Keaton Mitchell. Even some immediately after his injury. I would argue that was due to Keatons' amazing speed. Teams started giving more space to make sure they did not get burned (which keaton did a lot averaging over 10 yards per reception and 8 pee rush). Once teams adjusted to Hill playing the same role, the big gains slowed drastically. In the game, the biggest reception and rush by RB went to Gus "bus". So why did Gus get only 4 touches? You could also ask why, if you are going pass happy, do you not put your 2 amazing receiving TE on the field at the same time? Use this formation with gus in the backfield, he forcing mismatches, and pushing KC to bring people out of coverage to contain the run. There is a lot more, but not putting your players in the best position is not how Harbaugh usually works.
The INT was a disaster though I think LJ8era thought with #22 bumping TE Lively#80 that P/I would have been called. No that doesn't excuse the risk of throwing into triple coverage. He played poorly. Clowney, Van Noy & DT hitting PM2 didn't help.

Lamar is just not a consistent passer. If they don’t run it well they stink.
They got this far because of their defense and run game. The Chiefs can score on anyone though, the Ravens didn’t run the ball, and the Chiefs pass defense has been good all year.
Penalties. Interception and two fumbles. Time of possession barely more than half that of KC. A great running team that didn’t run. It’s hard to win that way. And Mr. October lays another big egg in a big game. AT HOME! Pathetic.
No matter what I’m a raven and a Lamar Jackson fan because we are real champions that keep going no matter what even if we only do good in the regular season or lose every year in the playoffs I’ll be a man at the end of the day to keep going and get back up the next season no matter what happened in the past let go of the fear let go of the guilt let go of whatever was and walk into what is creed 3 ❤ and for all the haters and doubters we love it because there’s always next season and no matter if y’all are right about the ravens and Lamar or not what difference does it make that’s life you win and you lose that simple so we are gonna just see where god takes us and walk into what ever comes next
I can’t defend Lamar anymore , the narrative of him collapsing in the playoffs is true . This loss was on his shoulders , his horrific play was why the ravens lost . I’m done with them bro , Lamar jersey in the trash like skip bayless did the cowboys
@@Scottydoesntknow1989 yeah I truly wish I could blame Zay for that fumble on blowing the game but the ravens offense looked out of sync and rookie like. If this is how they show up in big games , Lamar been in the league since 2018 and I defended him every playoff loss. But this one was on his back alone. He looked completely oblivious in the pocket , overthrowing receivers. Throwing into triple coverage took the cake bro , what a rookie ass decision . Ravens going to need some all star caliber dudes around Lamar to win I mean pro bowl WRs or RBs to help Lamar cause his inability to perform in big games is absolutely an issue after today don’t really give a fuck what anyone says
I think Likely put his hand up for the ball, and that's why Lamar threw it. I don't know why. He had to see at least 2 of the KC defenders back there. Bateman and Odell were open on that play.
#1 mistake is the TAUNTING at the 8 yrd line of the Chiefs. Lamar does not do well under pressure and being down 2 TD, he gets nervous. The odds are the Ravens gets 7 pts from there and would only be 3 down. Lamar would calm down a bit by being only down 3 instead of 14.
They totally abandoned the run game again, not to mention the costly turnovers. And despite all that, our defense STILL gave us numerous chances to get back in this game. They were lights out in the 2nd half. This loss is totally on Lamar, Zay, and coaching for deviating from a winning formula of balanced running with a good mix of passing. It was ugly, frustrating, and hard to watch.
props to the ravens defense for trying to keep their team in the game for as long as they can.
Rigged.
defense locked down so fucking hard but zay flowers really sold
@@biguzivertt he's a rookie.. Doesn't understand implications yet. He let them get under his skin, took him off his game, and he fumbled a desperately needed TD.

I can’t believe how little the Ravens ran the ball.
They only ran the ball 16 times the whole game.lol smh
Man same thing I said they got away from who they are. The run game opens up the passing game smh 😢
If one were cynical you'd think this game was thrown so Taylor could get all of her minions to watch the Super Bowl. I mean, I'm sure this didn't happen because Lamar played so well.
That's why they lost
Lamar is an mvp and should be able to overcome.
They gave up on the run far too soon, dumb penalties, anxiousness by lots of players, Lamar couldn't read anything and was crazy innacurate, just a horrible performance by the ravens.
The chiefs are letting immature teams beat themselves while they trust one another.
Lamar has average arm talent and shitty ball placement. Its hidden by all the running and wide open looks.
Lamar sucks ull never get a ring under him hahahahahaha
I know they don’t have Swift paying off refs. Called two or three holdings on Chief, but let block in the back on Ravens first punt, multiple pass interference on Chiefs, multiple unsportsmanlike conduct on Kelce, Chris Jones face mask, Lamar Jackson roughing the passer all slide.
Lamar always looks like this when the RB and Oline are perfect Adnan dominating.
Lamar shouldn't feel too bad. Lebron can't read, either.
I'd given Lamar the benefit of the doubt after his rough first few playoff games, but this one he had everything needed to give him a good shot at the win and he just flat out choked. Can't lose this game at home when your defense holds Mahomes to 17pts if you wanna be "that guy." So far Mahomes is the only active QB that has proven he really is HIM.
Another choke job 😂

@@Scottydoesntknow1989what excuses every ravens fan has said the offense choked they may have been a few no calls but that doesn’t explain why we only scored 1 td the whole game. And then we got Lamar choosing to pass when he has a clear lane to run 🤦♂️

Im a Ravens fan, and I have to admit this was a choke job by Lamar. There were situations where he could clearly run and he would not.
I think Lamar has lost his speed. He hasn’t had any explosive runs in the past couple of years. Now he’s a pocket passer
@@yvngxnightmarenah maybe this year but last year no. He just wanted to be a pocket passer so bad instead of playing to his strengths
It's like a replay of this guy named Cam in the Super Bowl. Like he shut himself down.
@@yvngxnightmare he hurt his knee in 2022 so yeah, he lost speed for sure. Plus he's older.
No experience

100 yards from penalties didn’t help
We don’t get to make that claim. The offense blew it. No matter how you slice it.

6 rushes. Unbelievable. This has happened every time under Harbaugh with Lamar at the helm. Absolute stupidity.

Ravens Oc, You realize you had barely any runs against one of the worst run defenses in the league
Also it was raining and cold. The Chiefs seemed to realize this with how they kept trying to force the run even though they could have kept their foot on the gas.
I thought lamar was an mvp...
The bottom line is the ravens put the game on lamars arm and he choked.
You sound dumb chiefs were number 2 overall in run d
@@1stAmendmentorDie1776 Lamar's strength is running. I don't know if there was a single designed QB run in the game.
That was the ravens offensive coaches plan to not run
Baltimore was out played and out coached.
Well. Did anyone really think Lamar was going to play at MVP level????
😂😂😂
Maybe not MVP but 20 points maybe and a few more runs😂they all own it
Better than your dearly Mahomes, ummm. Yes, of course.
💔 this was our best chance. Not sure if we can ever have this stacked of a team ever again with so many free agents coming up
More playoff experience is good, they could easily return to afc championship next year. Hopefully Lamar learns how to prepare next time and stay more clam/buttoned up, and the coaching staff doesn’t abandon the run game.
@@donovan4222 the thing is a lot of key defensive will likely be gone. Defense got us to where we were this season
@@pierceliu9914Ehh not exactly. The defense was great, but the ravens offense was also dominant all season. If the defense is like 20% worse and the offense is the same, the ravens would still be back in the playoffs. Most of their key players are young and will develop, and they have the cash to retain most of their key defensive players. The bills have way worse contract issues than the ravens do.
Lamar means more to Baltimore than Ray Lewis 😂😂😂 yeah fucking right
Lamar means more to Baltimore you said that rite
How lamar can win mvp when his stats are medium?
@@Scottydoesntknow1989Ray brought Baltimore 1 championship, in his 2nd Super Bowl Ray was mostly just along for the ride.
Also, that playoff choker is still a top 4 quarterback in the league, arguably 2nd best.
@@Scottydoesntknow1989 “purely based on all talk” lol not sure what this means?
“None of his current stats support that”
I’d say getting to the AFC championship, having the highest win percentage in the league, and winning 2 MVPs is enough to make him the 2nd best quarterback. Although you could argue Burrow or Allen, which is why I said arguable.
“He is just an average QB”
LMFAO now I know you are trolling. No need to read the rest…
@@Scottydoesntknow1989 It’s a qb stat because you can look at the ravens before Lamar and with Lamar. They went from 8-9 last year with Flacco, to a playoff team when he took over and every year after when he is healthy. Also, Lamar individually has the highest win percentage in the league, while leading his team in passing and rushing, doesn’t get much more MVP than that.
Lamar is 4th in passer rating, and you are excluding his rushing stats so you can make his numbers look lower lmao. Do the yards not count when you rush for them or something? Also, Lamar’s impact goes beyond stats. Gus Edward’s was walking into the end zone untouched like 15 times this season because the defense is worried about Lamar keeping the ball.
He has 2 MVPs, everyone already knows he won the 2nd one, no need to pretend.
Also, playoffs don’t affect the MVP voting you goofball. The voting is already done before the AFC championship haplened and they don’t vote based on playoffs anyways. Peyton manning lost 20-3 in the divisional round when he won his 2nd MVP.
“He got to the championship game via his #1 defense”
His defense didn’t score 4 touchdowns against the Texans the week before to get them to the championship you 🤡
Lamar stunk.
Teams defend the run against us, not the pass. That play you showed had 7 in the box.
I've had it with the “The receivers aren't getting open.” comments.
Someone needs to tell Lamar that his throwing mechanics are horrible and probably account for all of his missed throws.
In my opinion, Lamar has two to three years left to prove he can throw the ball on a playoff level, or he’ll be out of the NFL.
How can anyone get excited about this team winning in the regular season anymore?
Lamar has showed you what hes gonna do. To think anything changes would be crazy

Testament to former Giant Defensive Coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.
Lamar continuing to show why you shouldn't pay him what he got.
What an idiotic take 😭 he won an MVP and took them to the AFC championship as the 1 seed, but he shouldn’t get paid because he didn’t beat Patrick Mahomes in the 1st year of his contract? That’s absolutely delusional…Lamar is going to make them Super Bowl contenders for the next 5+ years. Thats why you pay franchise QBs when you get them. If the ravens didn’t pay him, they wouldn’t even be in the playoffs.
Yeah some people shouldn't have opinions. Dumb af
Lamar is a chocker they only got there because of their defense lamar inability to throw accurate passes is whats holds them back@donovan4222
I've been following Lamar this season since i had him on fantasy. With the new pass first system, they have him sitting in the pocket longer and this guy sometimes takes too long to go through his progressions before making a decision. He took so many unnecessary sacks and got stripped sack so many times. It's a double-edged sword.
I called this. Happens every year. Don't matter buf, bal, kc & mahomeboy always finds some way to pull out these games.
Yeah Mahomes had some solid plays in the first half, but you really have to credit the Chiefs defense, they played unbelievably well and it really came down to them.
i am not crediting them for shit mf.@@6lackline445
@@6lackline445 You are right & I didn’t see this coming 😳
How did Hulk Hogan or Ric Flair stay on top for all those years. They had millions of fans that loved them and spent shitloads of money buying everything that had their names on it. Maholmes and Kelce are the same way. Now that Taylor swift has teamed up with them to get her crowd in on it the K.C. fan base has doubled in size. You can't imagine the amount of money that generates. The game is rigged!
I give more credit to the coaching and defense than Mahomes. Mahomes was good and didn’t make any big mistakes, but he got shut out the 2nd half and went 3 and out 3 times. He gave the ravens multiple chances to come back, but Reid and Spags coaches circles around Harbaugh and Monken.
The "consensus" MVP shrunk in the big lights.
MVB beat the MVP... Again 😂👍
tell em again. They might have abandoned the run way too early but that means the ball was put in the hands of the MVP and he stunk again in the playoffs
Kinda reminds me of 2004 Peyton manning coming off of his 2nd MVP and arguably best QB season of all time, then losing 20-3 to New England in the divisional round.
The Chiefs defense doesn't get enough credit. With having Patrick Mahomes on the offense they are often overlooked. Chiefs defense is simply amazing!! The Ravens panicked when they were playing from behind. The Ravens were out played and out coached. Penalties are so costly.
Now we have to hear another entire off-season and all next season about how the Ravens choke in the playoffs. The window is still open, but closing fast.
The window was never open with Lamar

@@Shiestyspicks imagine being this delusional.
Chris Jones said after the game that it was the whole strategy of the Chiefs to make Baltimore throw the ball.
If they could get up by a couple of scores, Baltimore would abandon the run and throw against an awesome Chiefs defense that has held teams down all season.
You keep giving Mahomes chances and a defense that can keep you in check, and game over.
All Mahomes had to do was burn clock and game manage at that point.
That's exactly what they did.
They only needed to do what was needed to win the game.
Chiefs defense is who won this game.
Mahomes WR's weren't on the same level as Baltimore's, but still pulled off the win.
It truly was an amazing strategy and execution on behalf of the Chief's coaching staff.
Where is the Flowers fumble in this breakdown?! That was the game!
And his costly taunting penalty
Eh. The real nail in the coffin was Lamar’s interception into triple coverage. That makes it a one score game with over 6 minutes left. After that the Chiefs played bend don’t break and let the Ravens burn clock to only come away with 3, and then Mahomes iced the game by getting a first down after forcing them to burn their timeouts.
@@colten53 I mean yea but zay fumble killed us as well
@@colten53 The pick contributed for sure but you can't just dismiss Lamar's WR literally fumbling it in the end zone
@@colten53 Yup. This. Worst throw I've ever seen. And ZERO situational awareness and IQ. Zay was their best player all day. Easy. Effort play lead to a fumble. Lamar was dog poop in that game. 😂
Ravens did what I have seen countless teams do in playoffs. Try to get cute and abandon what got them there. I was rooting for Lamar, but people need to understand he has been in the league for six seasons. The guy is not throwing you to a Super Bowl. Just the facts, that is not who he is or who he will ever be. The Chiefs left the door open that whole game. That was his moment, and he could not put them on his back. The coaches for sure blew it along with flowers, but damn man. As of right now, Lamar is tier 2 QB who shouldn't be in MVP conversation. There are 3 people that deserve that award more than him.

@@TheMattTrakker I guess Peyton Mannings first 2 MVPs didn’t count because he didn’t win the Super Bowl yet
Blame this on the coaches. How do you not run the ball and control the game. Gus Edwards had 3 carries for 20 yards. Our running backs had six carries total against a team that the Bills ran all over. We were a one dimensional team. Watched Colin Cowherd who said he was baffled at the Ravens play calling. Saying it was the worst playing calling he has ever seen. The Ravens ran for over 240 yards against Houston and didn't even try against K.C who isn't great against the run.
Lamar is a great quarterback when he doesn't have to be great.
I’m a Ravens fan, and will no longer be hyped in the offseason. This team clearly has a ceiling and I have 5 years of history in the Lamar area supporting it. The bottleneck in big games is always the offense. 10 against the Chiefs, 3 against the Bills, and 12 against the Titans. You have to go back to Lamar’s rookie season to even get 17. It’s never gonna get it done. This team struggles to put up 2 touchdowns way too often in the playoffs. It’s mental.
At least the Texans game proved Lamar is capable of putting up big offense in the postseason
@@donovan4222 I totally agree. They’re absolutely capable of doing the things we expect. It’s just a weird mental thing where they lose their identity when it matters most. Even looking at the Lions, and Bills losses for example. They never lost their identity. It was still a good game, and the best team won. These Ravens games become just hard to watch. It’s bad football on one side from the coin toss. Mental mistakes, bad play calls, bad fundamentals, bad clock management, bad sticks management, just everything. I mean just CONSTANTLY behind on the sticks. 1/2 yards on first down, and then try to get 25 on second. It’s extremely low tier football. The floor for this offense should not still be that low 5 years later. They’re never prepared, and I don’t know what the answer is. Maybe a regime/philosophy change because this is certainly old and stale. There isn’t any more excuses to make.
@@mikemonroe9167 Yeah I think it’s a combination of Lamar and Harbaugh not having the team buttoned up and ready. It reminds me a bit of Peyton manning how when he got to the playoffs he would lose a games because he would be trying to do too much, throwing the ball too hard, holding onto it for too long, etc.
And Harbaugh needs to have an offensive game plan, you can’t just let Monken only give 6 handoffs to running backs all game when you are the #1 rush offense, Lamar and the offense just never got into a rhythm.
Stop being a fan
On the defensive side, this game went exactly as I figured it would go. KC starts well, but then gets tired and worn out -> Ravens defence shuts them down.
KC only punted in the second half, but bad fouls and terrible decisions by the Ravens offence prevented them from coming back in the game.
And the chiefs defense you forgot about
@@JohnnyZeroBoo I can't attribute unforced errors from the Ravens offence to the KC defence, but of course the KC defence was great, as it had been all season.
The Chiefs also got extremely conservative on purpose after the first two drives. Mahomes never gave the defense a chance to put the Ravens back in the game. No strip sacks. No close interceptionable passes... Call things unforced... But this whole seaon the Ravens are blowing out teams and making them look silly and the Chiefs and Spags said... Lamar we don't think you can beat us with your arm... And they were right.
@@JohnnyZeroBoo It's not like Mahomes turns it over in the postseason regardless.
I don't believe you go full conservative when you're only up by 1 TD or even a TD and a FG. I do credit the Ravens defence for locking everything up in the second half.
@@Wladislav Chief defense let's up a TD or less in the second half virtually every game.
For the coaches to make the decision to abandon the run is insane. It almost makes you question if it was rigged with how stupid of a decision it was
You run all over the 49ers, the Lions, embarrassing them! And then, you abandon the run in the biggest game of the year. Including, Lamar not scrambling for first down when he had opportunities. Why?
I couldn't believe it, I thought they would run all over them, and they would have.
Still support the ravens despite this hurtful loss but I've got to make these TWO points-the team MUST use this loss as MOTIVATION for next season. 2. The RAVENS DEFENSE locked up the Chiefs in the 2nd half- the decision making of Harbs & MONKEN put the team at a disadvantage-why only ran the ball 8X for the best rushing team-it's INEXCUSABLE. MONKEN & HARBS MUST GO-ASAP.
Monken needs to stay (still a great OC) but he’s definitely the reason why the Ravens lost this game. Great play calling all year but shits the bed in the biggest game of the season. He needs to be questioned.
Gave up on the running game. The number one rushing offense in the NFL ran the ball a handful of downs. Harbaugh and the offensive coaches should be looking for a job!
I don’t believe they “Choked” They never had the lead to choke
Choked to expectations
I told everyone last week after I watched the Texans game that Chiefs will win. Texans offense had no chance so Lamar did not have to make any throws over 15 yards. Chiefs were playing in front so Lamar couldn’t do what he liked. Short passing game or run the ball is what he wants to do. And Texans pass rush was not disclipined on the edge. Chiefs mostly bull rushed, I have no idea why Texans were speed rushing allowing easy rushing lanes up the middle for him.
This loss in ALL in Him because they had guys open and his terrible inaccuracy cost his team . This dude will NEVER make it to a Super Bowl.
nonblack insecurity...
Swagu said it best. The only way ravens lose is if they beat themselves. And that's exactly what happened...
Right!! That’s honestly how most teams lose!! The packers and Detroit beat themselves too
This game should have been an easy win. Held KC to 17 points 😂 Lamar chokes every big game. He just can't do it and never will.
How about the chiefs defense put some respect on them
No one can apparently outside Mahomes I mean who can? You can’t answer.
Say whatever u like,lamar wss in the pocket he had more passing yards than patrick mahomes.
Same with the ravens defense
Not true!! We made it to the championship so he more than proved himself..today was just a bad day we will get it next year!!
Andy got his team together pre game and said....." look these guys are talented but also young, dumb, inexperienced and undisciplined....let tgem crash n burn....see ya in vegas".......
These Ravens are not the "Ray Lewis" era Ravens. Ray, Reed, and Suggs should be ashamed of these bums
They literally snatched defeat from the jaws of victory 😮
Bruh they never led they were never gonna win
they went down like a dirty prize fighter.
Ravens didn't run enough and seemed to forget they had Justin tucker. U don't NEED to force things in the opponents territory you have a automatic 3 points
Ravens OC called 1 of the worst games I've seen in a while. Lamar didn't play as well as he should've, but no one was open. More importantly, you beat Mahomes by keeping him off the field with the run game. Just astoundingly stupid gameplan by the Ravens.
What went wrong? They paid too much $52M a year for an overrated player that chokes every year. Oh well,vyou should blame Deshaun 'Happy Ending' Watson for that overpay since he's the baseline for QB salary.
I can’t believe they choked on a big stage if though most people feel like Ravens were the better team. Lamar never looked comfortable and composed.
I can’t wait to see the game and then compare Purdy’s performance to Lamars to see who played better regardless of the outcome.
Lamar could have ran for a lot of plays
I can not find any of my friends who are ravens fans on Facebook. I think they've been abducted 😂. But that pass to himself is one of the greatest passes I ever seen.
Lamar Sucks he choked over threw every pass
I feel the ravens didn't play to their strengths and instead tried to win with Lamars arm only. Lamar legs are what makes him special, along with good Qb play.
Let’s be completely honest instead of spreading a bullshit narrative. Todd Monkin did his offense no favors with his play calling. You have the number 1 rushing offense in the league and you abandoned the running game by the end of the 1st half. Your two Rb’s have 6 carries between the both of them. Smh
Can the QB not audible to a run????????? 😂
@@FantasySportsZen He might have to start doing that, but as a coach there has to be some accountability for why Harbaugh signed off on 6 running back carries when you’re the leagues #1 rushing offense. Reid and Spag coached circles around them.
The Chiefs played the Ravens. The difference was Kelce vs Flowers. Flowers let his emotions take over..
The LJ apologists will be in full on excuse mode on Monday. Take every playoff minute he has competed in and you will be generous if you say he has been bad in 80% of it….
Chiefs playing ahead was the reason why the defense was so good. The two splash plays were busted coverage. Chiefs rushed much better than demeco Texans. I have no idea why the Texans DEs kept on running pass Lamar. Chiefs did not do that. U will not sack lamar from behind, he will just take the rushing lane.

@@donovan4222 no that’s a silly take. I only watched the last few minutes of that game because l thought the Ravens were going to crush the Chiefs.

@@davengwashuacc7196 shut your weird little troll ass up lol
From the get go they should’ve played to their strength and run the ball. Lamar stood too long in the pocket instead of scrambling and tucking and running it playing his game. Chiefs left opportunities in the second half and the ravens didn’t take advantage of it.
Hats off to the chiefs.
they lost because of a famous true qoute:, run the dam ball!
He lost me when he said Baltimore was much more dangerous passing the ball as opposed to running it.
Whatever he’s on, I want some
man what a sad performance. it's really difficult to win when you have to play against yourself and the opponent and the refs. If you want give the chiefs credit, they at least don't beat themselves so even when they play bad, they still have a shot to win. until the ravens can stop beating themselves, they will never win anything.
Big mouth Ravens fans have to eat some crow now
They didn’t choke. They simply followed the script
Lamar chokes again and harbaugh gets out coached. Abandoned the run in first quarter. I was at game chiefs dominated time of possession and ever statistical metric.
We had a fantastic season. Arguably our best. The reds did fuck us but in the end, old demons came out and haunted us. The Chiefs took our formula and beat us at our own game. Costly errors in the most crucial moments. Guys, if you really wanna win it all, you gotta trust what got you there. We played phenomenal balanced and generally mistake free football pretty much all year. Just play the same game we’ve done every week and you’d easily handle the chiefs. You let them play head games and get you out of rhythm. I hope that the lesson was learned. We still have a shot next year but in order to be a champion, you cannot beat yourselves.
Neither the Lions nor the 49ers have anything to be ashamed of. They both had great seasons. Definitely something to build on for next year. That said, congrats to Mahomes and the Chiefs on their 3rd SB ring!!!

How did the Ravens win a superbowl in 2000? It wasn't just Ray Lewis:
Ravens had nothing on offense as 2000 superbowl champions?
Searching for a consistent runner, the Ravens gave Holmes a chance in '98. He responded by gaining 1,008 yards in 13 games as a starter, but those numbers didn't impress Brian Billick, who became head coach in '99. Billick craved a burly back for his power-running attack, and the 213-pound Holmes was
deemed too slight to take the pounding that a featured back takes in the NFL. Billick drafted Jamal Lewis.

Shannon Sharpe (2-time superbowl wins in Denver) 67 rec 810 yards 5 TD 12.1 yds avg.
I really thought that Ravens were not only going to win but win big today. I thought Lamar would have 1-2 rushing TDs and throw for at least 2 more. Suffocating defense and a great running game is a great formula and has worked well for this team in the past. I really thought it was going to be something like 35-10 Ravens. How does Gus Edwards only get 3 touches? Mark Andrews only targeted 2 times? Lamar only had 8 rushes. I dont understand the play selection today. I really thought that Baltimore would be raising the Lombardi this year.
We’ve seen since the beginning of the season Lamar’s strength is not throwing to the deep corner/out/fade. Those throws to the outside he usually overthrows the receiver so idk why they tried to force the issue. They abandoned the run completely, I saw so many holes for Lamar to take off and he hesitated.
I thought they had a good chance, too...for a minute. Chiefs were tight this game. And then, there's Mahomes.
Lamar, still not ready for prime time…
Chiefs really didn’t do shit in the whole 2nd half. They had a good plan very early but once the defense settled in they balled out. The number one problem in this game was lack of the run game. 2. Stupid ass turnovers. 3. Fuck you if you don’t think the officiating was lobsided, that pick was clear pass interference on Likely. But, chiefs have playoff pedigree and a great coach. Lamar will learn I have faith
Lamar is an average thrower, sure when you include his rushing abilities, he is top 5 in the league, but in the playoffs you need that elite throws, any way he looks like a great guy, hope he can make it to the Super Bowl one day
Look at all the most recent games in the playoffs and the Super Bowls that were unbelievable. They always pass all game or pass all second half.
Lamar never plays well when it matters the most
He pretty much pads his stats against bad teams or when the defense helps him get out to an early lead. When it’s equal footing and everyone knows he has to pass on third and long into a tight window, he can’t do it.
Last play, Odell is literally wide open.. 1-1 with a safety on an inside route.. monken and harbaugh did not know how to utilize Odell. His connection with Lamar was growing into a thing of beauty. Sometimes I really do wonder if we actually want to win another superbowl … Agholor was not the answer.
Lamar totally shit the bed in the playoffs yet again. And the play calling was atrocious. Ravens struggle against really good coaching staffs and the chiefs epitomize this.
They wanted to prove lamar can win by throwing the ball but of course he cant when will lamar learn
Nope, The Ravens threw this game on purpose. I dont believe it was a choke at all. If I was a Ravens fan I would be asking questions because I dont believe for a minute this was legit game. The Chiefs are a very beatable team with an average defense at best. With so many horrible ref calls in big games and billions in gambling money and teams like the Ravens, an elite team, playing like a high school team in the AFC championship? No way. The NFL has no credibility.
People need stop trying blame Jackson this was a whole team lost

I agree - if you weren't gonna beat the Chiefs now at arguably their worst, when will you beat them? They'll likely be even better next year and the years following. Also, the Ravens roster was LOADED on offense and defense
What's crazy to me all season long this Ravens team straight up beat the crap out of people but then the game before the Super Bowl they finally lay an egg What??? It wasn't all Lamar Jackson fault but he could have done more running around to make something of nothing
Despite all the immaturity/penalties on defense, they did their job by holding the Chiefs to 17. This loss was 90% on Lamar - he sat in the pocket/held the ball too long, he didn't feel pressure or adjust to the blitz, he continually overthrew receivers on deep shots, he ignored open checkdown targets & tried to force the ball downfield, & he turned over the ball twice. During one of their last drives (the one that ended in a pick IIRC), there were at least TWO plays where a receiver was open within 5-10 yards & Lamar ignored them & tried to force the ball downfield (which fell incomplete both times).
Ravens fans can't accept they choked lmao i just see them crying refs instead of accepting the choke job
😂😂😂 wanting a flag thrown everytime in a playoff game is wild. They had chances and choked
@@tonerz0fdubb716 its really pathetic
Oh the refs kinda had some bad calls, but we totally choked offensively
They’re acting like the fix was in as if the NFL and ESPN wouldn’t be jerking themselves off over Lamar being in a Super Bowl. They’ve already crowned him MVP even though like 12 other QBs have better stats than him and he has a top 5 defense.
We did not choke ....we made mistakes but definitely didn't choke...choking would indicate a big blow out loss and that did not happen so you were saying?
The way this game was run adds ammo to the "rigged" conspiracy (whatever the goal of the rigging was).
Watching this game, I immediately saw problems with the usage of the RB. Justice Hill was on the field WAY too much. Rushing, he is a decent back but really brings nothing to the table that simply allowing Lamar to run doesn't. He's not a power guy, and he definitely doesn't have better moves than Lamar. In pass protection,he's not as big as Edward's and doesn't provide any benefit. I actually saw him miss his block on multiple plays. Justice Hills' only decent advantage is catching out of the back field. The problem here is to really make this work against a team with as much skill in coverage you needed someone who could capitalize with speed. The Ravens had great success with out of the back field work with Keaton Mitchell. Even some immediately after his injury. I would argue that was due to Keatons' amazing speed. Teams started giving more space to make sure they did not get burned (which keaton did a lot averaging over 10 yards per reception and 8 pee rush). Once teams adjusted to Hill playing the same role, the big gains slowed drastically.
In the game, the biggest reception and rush by RB went to Gus "bus". So why did Gus get only 4 touches?
You could also ask why, if you are going pass happy, do you not put your 2 amazing receiving TE on the field at the same time? Use this formation with gus in the backfield, he forcing mismatches, and pushing KC to bring people out of coverage to contain the run.
There is a lot more, but not putting your players in the best position is not how Harbaugh usually works.
The INT was a disaster though I think LJ8era thought with #22 bumping TE Lively#80 that P/I would have been called. No that doesn't excuse the risk of throwing into triple coverage. He played poorly. Clowney, Van Noy & DT hitting PM2 didn't help.
Lamar is just not a consistent passer. If they don’t run it well they stink.
Nobody who runs that much is a consistent passer.
They got this far because of their defense and run game. The Chiefs can score on anyone though, the Ravens didn’t run the ball, and the Chiefs pass defense has been good all year.
Why the hell we don’t run the damn ball more?? 😡
Penalties. Interception and two fumbles. Time of possession barely more than half that of KC. A great running team that didn’t run. It’s hard to win that way. And Mr. October lays another big egg in a big game. AT HOME! Pathetic.
No matter what I’m a raven and a Lamar Jackson fan because we are real champions that keep going no matter what even if we only do good in the regular season or lose every year in the playoffs I’ll be a man at the end of the day to keep going and get back up the next season no matter what happened in the past let go of the fear let go of the guilt let go of whatever was and walk into what is creed 3 ❤ and for all the haters and doubters we love it because there’s always next season and no matter if y’all are right about the ravens and Lamar or not what difference does it make that’s life you win and you lose that simple so we are gonna just see where god takes us and walk into what ever comes next
Lamar choked , and the Chiefs defense is better than Baltimores . How about that !!! Chiefs kingdom baby !!!
I can’t defend Lamar anymore , the narrative of him collapsing in the playoffs is true . This loss was on his shoulders , his horrific play was why the ravens lost . I’m done with them bro , Lamar jersey in the trash like skip bayless did the cowboys
That's awful my dude. LJ is still great just had a bad game. Peyton was 2-4 as well. LJ will be just fine.. Still had chance to win and didn't execute
You on every postgame video shitting on Lamar. You aren't a fan
@@jalenkeown cool story bro , he blew the game check the stat line . Did you watch the game or just cheered with a blindfold on
@@ReyWard-t3w hope so my guy I can’t defend him no more. Had an amazing team around him the defense showed up but Lamar damn sure didn’t.
@@Scottydoesntknow1989 yeah I truly wish I could blame Zay for that fumble on blowing the game but the ravens offense looked out of sync and rookie like. If this is how they show up in big games , Lamar been in the league since 2018 and I defended him every playoff loss. But this one was on his back alone. He looked completely oblivious in the pocket , overthrowing receivers. Throwing into triple coverage took the cake bro , what a rookie ass decision . Ravens going to need some all star caliber dudes around Lamar to win I mean pro bowl WRs or RBs to help Lamar cause his inability to perform in big games is absolutely an issue after today don’t really give a fuck what anyone says
I think Likely put his hand up for the ball, and that's why Lamar threw it. I don't know why. He had to see at least 2 of the KC defenders back there. Bateman and Odell were open on that play.
“Dad, tell me about the time Lamar Jackson let down the whole universe?”
Would have liked to see andrews more with 2 te sets and likely. He only played 9 snaps.
#1 mistake is the TAUNTING at the 8 yrd line of the Chiefs. Lamar does not do well under pressure and being down 2 TD, he gets nervous. The odds are the Ravens gets 7 pts from there and would only be 3 down. Lamar would calm down a bit by being only down 3 instead of 14.
Mental breakdown after flowers' karma 😅
Points taken off the board because of *KCs defense*
Don't act now like Lamar has ever been all word. Give Spags his flowers.
