they really had the perfect gameplan to beat usAllen had 147 yards of offense and just 3 plays that covered more than 8 yards. That call to throw at the 2 might’ve cost them the game
1 of those titles was 24 years ago now. That shyt is ancient history. The PS2 was fresh on the shelves. Chris and Paulie hadn’t gotten lost in the pine barrens yet. The towers were still standing and WCW & ECW still existed. The raiders last Super Bowl appearance is more recent than that one. Take it from a guy who is 36 and hasn’t even seen his hockey team win a division title in his lifetime, decades of blowing it in the playoffs is worse than just being bad, and since 2006 every ravens playoff loss besides maybe 2009 and/or 2018 is full of awful mistakes they committed all on their own to give it away a lot like the 1998 nfc title game, the 2009 nfc title game, Super Bowl 51, Super Bowl 30, Super Bowl 49, Super Bowl 38, or the 2004 jets/steelers playoff game. Not a single one of their playoff losses since the 2002 realignment was defined by them lining up, giving it their best shot, and it not being enough. Just a miserable and bitter offseason where you’re left waiting 8 months to hope that next year’s team doesn’t beat themselves in January only to watch them do the same dumb and sloppy shyt all over again. They tried their hardest to give away that 2nd Super Bowl too, scoring just 6 points on offense after halftime and that game might as well be ancient history now too.
Breh this franchise has won multiple championships, has great coaching, has a 3X MVP at QB who’s just entering his prime.
Imagine being a Lions, Bills, Browns, Falcons fan. Baltimore will be ok
All Andrews had to do was cut upfield instead of trying to juke 2 linebackers he’d already beat and catch a wide open pass and they win this game
Yup, just stupid turnovers beat ourselves
The Chiefs blueprint.
They lost the game on that play. That was so gross. Big cracka trying to do a step back juke then got the ball just out there with it...I literally felt disgustedAll Andrews had to do was cut upfield instead of trying to juke 2 linebackers he’d already beat and catch a wide open pass and they win this game
Idk breh. That was still a bad play call. I get it if Lamar was rolling to his right and had someone to throw to. That play action both removed Henry from the play (he's not even running a route) and has Lamar staring down the other side of the field waiting for someone to get open. Again he should have thrown it away, but damn if I didn't expect Lamar to be rolling the other way with a chance to throw or run.
Just a damn shame.Allen had 147 yards of offense and just 3 plays that covered more than 8 yards. That call to throw at the 2 might’ve cost them the game
Lamar deserves blame because
yeah most people are gonna kill him for the drop but the fumble was 100x worse
His first fumble in 5 years too. I don’t want to get on the defense too much, but just like the afc title game last year, they had no sacks and no turnovers forced while they gave up 27 points and let Buffalo get 3 touchdowns in the red zone. You gotta get stops down there. That was one of the few things the 2012 defense for example was great at. They got red zone stops consistently. Can’t be too hard on them for this since the refs gifted Buffalo 3-7 points though.yeah most people are gonna kill him for the drop but the fumble was 100x worse
we were about to take the lead
we didnt punt the ball at all and still lost
Redzone defense was awful in the 1st half. I could see if Allen was carving them up in the passing game.They got bullied a couple times.
Even the Lamar fumble isn’t something you can’t entirely blame on him. Bad snap he barely manages to deflect to himself to save it and then the rush is on top of him before he even manages to set his feet or look for a receiver. I didn’t like the call to throw at the 2 where Lamar got sacked either and I don’t think they should’ve gone for it when they did but going for 2 to tie the game is almost always a tactically sound choice. It’s not like the play call was bad either. The pass just got tipped at the line so the open man didn’t get the ball. The 2nd down play where Lamar got sacked should’ve been a rollout so Lamar has space to buy time or throw it away.
