Baltimore is screwed.
Franchise guys don't just fall off of trees. How many QB's are capable of beating the Chiefs when it really matters? 1? Maybe? |

Lamar Jackson is a guy who is fantastic, until he actually has to think. Once you force him to think instead of just react, it is over.

Allen is capable. Josh played a perfect game and had the lead with 13 seconds, but the Buffalo defense choked. Burrow just had a much better defense helping him win games. That Cincy defense was awesome in 2021 & 2022.

Hell the last 2 years it would look like we were epic ****ed and that's obviously not the case. Let's see if I can trigger some Chiefs-TSD with this, but it's kind of a get in and make some noise kind of thing. Green Bay who wasn't a juggernaut and Detroit who had no business being there were really friggin close to making it happen. Those teams last January weren't necessarily contenders. But catch a few breaks, some guys break out for you and you can get some legs in the playoffs. It can happen, and I think that's what you have to play for if you're the Ravens. Plus, if you just win the division, your life in the playoffs gets easier, and there is a good case to be made there. Watson is coming back (presumably) so Cleveland is going to be worse - somehow - don't ask, I just firmly believe butthole guy is washed. Presumably Burrow won't be dropped off, but they're losing guys off that defense and Higgins is probably gone right? Plus, there's even more film of Orlando Brown, and we know how he ages. Shitsburgh is probably ****ed. Pickett is fire roasted assholes, and if they run it back with him, that lockerroom has to check out. There's just no way around it. It's possible they have a fairly easy path the playoffs. Plus, I think if you're in the room, you know that if Mahomes doesn't exist, you're going to Vegas to play a team they blasted by 30. It's hard to walk away from. |

Burro could. With injuries, luck, and bad officiating Allen could. Lamar isn't beating any top 10 QB in the divisional round. Not any of them... |

They have NO course but forward. But it's not gonna work. All they can hope is that they get lucky because they simply will NOT beat the Chiefs straight up. They won't be better with Lamar Jackson under center than we will be with Patrick Mahomes. |

Insane stat, since 2013 the Ravens are 0-24 when trailing by 10 or more at half. So not only is Lamar not equipped to play from behind talent wise, he was drafted onto a culture that sucked at playing from behind for 4 -5 years already.
Gotta take a good look at Harbaugh on that front. A frontrunner team that collapses when they get punched in the mouth? Lamar is never gonna be the guy to bring you back 2 scores with his arm against a defense pinning their ears back. |
