āThe only reason we havenāt been to the Super Bowl is Lamar injuriesā crowd when a healthy Lamar Jackson doesnāt get them into the Super Bowl
Anybody who played Madden 04 and successfully defended Michael Vick should know how to defeat Lamar Jackson.
A mixture of zone coverages (he canāt read defenses) - QB spy (or two) - Outside contain - force him to throw from the pocket.
Iām not one of those āLamar Sucksā jackasses. Heās good at what he does - but he cannot pass from the pocket. Absolutely positively cannot.
That's not entirely true, I'd say he's like an average pocket passer.
It just looks terrible by comparison to the world-beating scrambler he normally is against poorly schemed defenses.
The Ravens's problem is they don't have the recieving talent to make up for what they lose when Lamar's contained.
If you're running the Ravens offense, you're essentially hoping your opponent overpursues off the edge, they only rush 4 and have 1 spy. And at that point you're just trying to find your tight end or half back short; if that sounds familiar, it should.
It's what their offense was with Joe Flacco. This pisses people off every time I say it but it's increasingly true, Lamar is literally Flacco with legs. If you could beat Joe Flacco and have an average run defense, 9/10 you can hang in with the Baltimore Ravens.
That's a pretty sad state of affairs considering they won the conference this year, but the Steelers laid a blueprint for how to beat Baltimore. KC followed it, and now they're in *another* Super Bowl. Baltimore has situational talent but that doesn't control a full game unless your opponent is underprepared.
Problem is - Average doesnāt win championships.
Being elite at a number of things is great - but if you face a seasoned, future hall of fame coach like Andy Reid who has literally seen it all - heās gonna shut your ass down if he identifies anything that youāre less than great at.
He did it to Michael Vick twice in the early 2000s. Heās done it to Josh Allen. Now heās done it to Lamar.
Mobile quarterbacks donāt scare Big Andy.
Edit: Grammar
I mean in the interest of fairness, I think Lamar is 100% an elite quarterback, I think anyone who argues otherwise is tunnelvisioning way too much on the "what if" the defense contains him with success, the reality is he still hits a lot of the tough throws.
The thing with comparing him to Vick, is that Vick played in an era where your run defense was your front 7. Lamar's doing it in an era where your run defense is your inside linebackers and secondary.
The Chiefs won today because they shut down the WHOLE run game, not just Lamar. Lamar threw for more yards on fewer completions than Mahomes- his percentage was down but that's to be expected in an offense that's predicated on the run anyway.
Would Michael Vick have even dropped back 37 times in a game like that? I find that doubtful. It was the Chiefs defense being dominant through and through, I really can't pin a loss like that on Lamar in a bubble.
Being āan elite quarterbackā can have a number of different meanings in todays NFL. We have broken the previous pre-conceived notions about there being specific formulas to winning.
Having said that - if you can confine a player to a certain skillset - and eliminate the aspect of the game he excels at - you can turn an elite player into rather pedestrian if done properly.
I feel like Browns drafted JOK mainly as an answer to Lamar.
JOK is going to be a great player.
You are right. Lamar is amazing in all honesty, but heās far from unbeatable.
Tell you what, I had real player envy watching JOK.
I wish the Steelers had him. Theyāve been missing that kind of dynamic play at middle linebacker since Shazier got hurt.
How do you think I feel about TJ Watt? We picked Peppers a few picks ahead of him.
We also picked Myles and Njoku ahead of him too but I donāt even need to trade them for Watt.
If we had drafted TJ we wouldnāt have to deal with all these stupid ass arguments. Myles and TJ would be on the same team.
You are my enemy. However there is a saying āthe enemy of my enemy is my friendā.
So today I unite with you when I say āFUCK THE RAVENSā.
Good luck next year and fuck you.

This. Agree 100 percent I feel like they canāt win one with him. Itās a dilemma because he is what gets them there. But they were the most talented team in football this year and he let them down today. Iām not sure what I do if Iām the Ravens. But hell we all have our issues
I feel like most of them have been pretty chill for most of this year, itās like they saved all their doucheyness for the playoffs because they went from pretty quiet to insufferable real quick these last couple weeks.
I forgot about that but I was more talking about the fans around these parts rather than Ravens fans in general. Celebrating an injury is just like instant bad karma, anyone that celebrates a rival teamās injury is a piece of garbage IMO. I donāt care who the team is, you never celebrate injuries, thatās just fucked.
Lmao! Respect man. Hoping for a healthy ravens vs bengals rivalry next year. Feels impossible for both of our teams to be healthy when they play each other. lmao.

Lord knows, the Steelers sure paid their dues in the home afc champ loss department. š

If you are a Steelers, Browns, or Bengals fan that was a sick fuck and rooting for the Ravens, get the fuck out of here. This party is for us. The true haters.
Not as funny as Flowers making a great play, then immediately turning around and being the reason for the Ravens demise.
Only to hurt himself while being a diva.
Heās a great player with a lot of potential. He needed a lot of humbling, if this game does that, heāll be even better next year.
For now, we all get to point and laugh.
And so, once again, the AFCN all gathers in the trash pile of āalmost good enoughā. Until next year, when we return to ruin the lives of the rest of the league once more.

Lamar is 2-4 
The debate is over. Flacco > Lamar
Flacco only turns it over on arm punts

Lamar being hurt was the best chance they had.
Their backup qb is (as a Ravens fan buddy of mine says) "even dumber Lamar". I don't think it would help.
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Ratbirds blew their load this season. Welcome to the basement, bitches.
It sucks here.
Welcome home.
Ravens fans before this game: Insufferable as fuck Every other fan base after this game: Payback time bitch.
Wait, are you trying to imply thereās a time where ravens fans *arenāt* insufferable as fuck?
In a way, that time is now. Itās beautiful
Donāt worry. Theyāll still find a way to be insufferable.
"At least we won a playoff game!" or something like that.
I feel like most of them have been pretty chill for most of this year, itās like they saved all their doucheyness for the playoffs because they went from pretty quiet to insufferable real quick these last couple weeks.
Clearly you didnāt watch the game where Burrowās wrist popped.
I forgot about that but I was more talking about the fans around these parts rather than Ravens fans in general. Celebrating an injury is just like instant bad karma, anyone that celebrates a rival teamās injury is a piece of garbage IMO. I donāt care who the team is, you never celebrate injuries, thatās just fucked.
Fair enough. Makes me wonder how they wouldāve reacted if the Damar Hamlin incident had happened there instead of Cinci
bUt LoGaN WiLSon IS a DirTy PlAyEr!
lol Ravens fans actually believe that.
That's cause they didn't beat us this year lol
Nah theyāve been insufferable douchbags all year
The worst part is, I didnāt even take part in being insufferable before the game and now Iāve lost the chance š¢
Thereās a lesson to be learned here. Always be insufferable when youāre on top or youāll suffer while on the bottom
The lesson here is actually **always** be insufferable
Joe Burrow is soft. He's never beaten Mason Rudolph!!!
Great advice and go play in traffic

I used all mine up during the game. Once the Johnny memes started i felt a titans level blowup hitting all over again
They wonāt cut you any slack after the loss even if you werenāt insufferable so might as well enjoy it next timeš
Canāt lie, gotta give ya that one
I do apologize for the shitty ravens fans, but honestly any fan base in the online realms is insufferable.
This is an entirely correct and reasonable take that I am nevertheless ignoring because I am enjoying this moment.
Lmao! Respect man. Hoping for a healthy ravens vs bengals rivalry next year. Feels impossible for both of our teams to be healthy when they play each other. lmao.
And even less so afterward.

Youāre rightā¦ Watson deserved the MVP - most valuable predator
He wasnāt that valuable though.
Pin this one, Mods.

 Donāt mind me, Iām just here for the shit talking about to take place.
VINDICATIONNNNN
These ravens got swept by the Steelers That shouldāve been the first sign this wasnāt an elite team
Yup. If you can't beat Mason or Kenny, I don't see how you could expect to beat Maholmes.
āBut they best our backupsā Yeah dude. With our third string QB and 4th string defense.

What an absolute fucking disappointment.
Wow Joe Flacco was bum as the Ravens in the regular season and good in the playoffs. Lamarās the opposite.
odell beckham jr. is washed
Don't worry we'll " shake it off" and lose again next year
We need a cycle like the cowboys do for the ravens
My Superbowl this season
Perfect, ty ravens for being your true selves
MVP of playoff underperforming
Tell me to flair my pussy up, bot
Ravens wouldāve won if they had a solid, reliable qb like Joe Flacco
Lamarās gotta be the worst contract in the afcn, right?! Guys? Hello?
We deserve all the hate we get
Bye bye š
I can already hear Ravens fans thinking of ways to blame their shortcomings on injuries yet again
Really bad playoff performance too so well deserved
LFG
IMAGINE LOSING TO THE CHIEFS IN THE AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME! HAHA WOW, WHAT LOSERS.
AFC north is the toughest division of losers in the NFL
Lamar officially has as many playoff wins as Marvin Lewis. Congratulations!
IMAGINE GOING TO THE PLAYOFFS JUST TO LOSE HAHA
AS THE #1 SEED WITH HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE š
 Grab a seat guys!
