If they win that’s awesome. If they lose I’m not hitting the panic button. I mean if they lose they probably have a higher chance to threepeat lol.
Hope it’s injury free
ALL OF THIS.
I always worried about early games like this and how they might affect playoff seeding, but after seeing this team go to Buffalo AND Baltimore and bitch slap them both - not concerned in the least.
The more championships they win, the less I seem to get worked up over regular season football. [Reply]
Love how he inadvertently blames his legs not being good for his inability to pass. Two time MVP and all who still can’t win a playoff game where his defense gives up more than 13 points. [Reply]

Ravens rushing attempts/yards in losses to Mahomes Chiefs:
2018: 40/194 LOST 24-27
2019: 32/203 LOST 28-33
2020: 21/158 LOST 20-34
I see where they are coming from as those three losses you listed came against a KC team with an explosive offense. Last year they were anything but, so if there was ever a time for them to get past KC it was last year. [Reply]
It's a proven fact that just running the ball on us even if it's effective does not mean you win. Many of those run run run drives end in 3 points not 7 points. Marty and Herm taught us that.
The old "we must establish the run" is the biggest joke of a strategy ever forced on football fans. Running the ball is important in the second half to kill your opponents will when you have the lead but it's not a game plan. Gett fucking TD's any way you can and hit the damn QB as much as you can is a game plan. [Reply]

Cannot wait for the first third and long disaster. :-) [Reply]

They were hammered for being stupid 9 months ago for not running enough so this makes sense. To limit Lamar hits, they may run Henry's old, tired ass all night. Apparently, they paid Lamar to hand it off. [Reply]

The ravens still trailed that anemic offense by 10 at the half just like they trailed by 10 at the half of those other games. And while last years Chiefs offense wasn’t elite, the defense was. They weren’t going to run their way back down 10 at the half. Other than 1 Gus Edward’s rush attempt, the rest of the rb’s carries went for like 2 yards.
First ravens drive off 2nd half:
Gus Edwards left end for 1 yard
Zay Flowers right end for 3 yards
Lamar Jackson pass incomplete deep left intended for Zay Flowers
They lost because the Chiefs kept Lamar in 3rd and long, and Lamar couldn’t convert. [Reply]
