Lamar's 1st Playoff Win, The Narratives and The Guts

[JoeyFlex5]

we've got to play the chiefs most likely whatever happens to be fair - if not this round then the next

but also id rather play the bills...

as i said earlier this week - im honestly fine now that we've got that first win out of the way but i certainly feel more confident going against the bills first...

but you're right it doesn't matter that much

There’s upside to playing the chiefs in the div, we catch them off their bye and we’re at our hottest.

I’m just sad right now that we won’t get to beat the Steelers in the playoffs, really bummed lol

 

[Deebo813]

Buffalo ain’t built to beat a complete team like the ravens, we have become the team we needed to become, we’ve been waiting to see THIS team all season and they bring it all together as soon as we hit the playoffs. Buffalos about to run into a buzzsaw next weekend, and I think we got something for the chiefs with yannick and Judon looking like absolute world beaters

I believe diggs is also banged up.. we are gonna need great plays from our safties imo

Does it make you feel better if you realize Ben is the only active qb to lose to the Browns in the post season?

 

[JoeyFlex5]

Y'all were shook with the Titans but poking your chests out now? DRIVE SLOW HOMIE... the teams left are nothing to play with.

I was shook because we were seeing the same movie play out, we turned it around.

they not only broke the narratives, but they gained our trust as fans who watch them every week, we thought we were getting more of the same after the first quarter, they proved us wrong. That’s why my chest is out lol

It does actually... fucking hilarious

 

[JoeyFlex5]

If we played 31 other teams, how does harbaugh handle the logo thing? He probably doesn’t even consider allowing it, he probably tells the team show some class and finish the game, the titans though? He said go ahead, disrespect those fuckers. Love it.

In the game yesterday, Byard flipped Lamar off. Crazy. That's why we just walked off without a single word to any of those classless pricks.

Oh well, on to Buffalo

 

[QuothTheRaven]

Oh my god, I'm just watching the post game interviews and I think I love Derek Wolfe

it's more relief now that we've gotten over that hurdle - and now we're playing with house money

it's not like im not aware that both buffalo and KC are far better than the Titans but the pressure's gone

partly they did it on his behalf - the whole logo thing was all about harbs from the beginning - most of the team only found out about it after the week 11 game

but they saw their coach getting fired up and disrespected and knew they wanted to do something about it

i also love that it wasnt pre-planned... it just happened in that moment and the whole defence decided that's what they were doing and they were doing it as one group

It shouldn't be done during the game. The game wasn't over yet, and that penalty could have had a significant impact.

They did their crap pre-game. We can do whatever we want post-game. Stomp on their logo, tweet profanities at them, etc. I couldn't care less. But you shouldn't be taking penalties for showboating in a game that isn't decided yet. That INT didn't guarantee us the win.

nah man - in that situation the yards made almost no difference at all

it wasnt turning it into 1st and 25 which would have been an actual problem

 

[rossihunter2]

Sidenote: it was amazing having jimmy back

but because of the titans and us playing a ton of base it meant that averett didnt play a single snap on defence

im assuming that will change significantly against the bills

I noticed that I wasn't seeing him out there. Also, did Duv even have any offensive snaps?

Actually it does matter. The down and distance doesn't matter. The field position does. If you don't convert a first down, and with Ten having basically all of their time outs, you're potentially gifting them 15 yards of free field position when they get the ball back, depending on the punt and subsequent plays.

Had the Ravens not gotten a first down and been forced to punt, criticism for their stupidity would have been extremely heavy.

Especially when you come out throwing on first down and miss a wide open receiver...

not many - hollywood, snead and boykin dominated the wr snaps

duvernay had 6
dez bryant only had 9

but it's all matchup oriented just like the averett stuff... malik harrison was 2nd in the LB snaps - the only other time that's happened iirc is during the week 11 titans matchup

i expect everything will look more "regular" next week

Fuck that. If peters went down deep in ravens territory, yeah that’s a major deal, but beyond midfield and getting 1st and 10, I want that disrespect lol

We had to get a first no matter what so it didnt matter. We get locked up and its a punt regardless correct?

Yes. The difference is that 15 yards could mean better field position for Tennessee if they get the ball back.

Why would the disrespect be any less 15 seconds after the game is over? Hell, wait until Lamar gets to kneel down mode, then the whole organization, including the band, can come on the field and play fight songs on the logo for hours for all I care.

I'm totally fine with the disrespect. They earned it. I'm saying don't do it when the game isn't decided, which it wasn't.
