oh yeah.. but at least there’ll be more interesting questions being asked with your divisional rival making it to the big dance
maybe for macdonald but i doubt the other 2 even entertain questions like that really beyond acknowledging the idea that you have to win the division

Idk about fun… if they sure up that O line they’ll be damn near unbeatable

More than just making it to the dance. How about Burrow going 2/2 Vs KC in comeback fashion? Something the Ravens really struggled with in Lamar’s tenure. Obviously not all on Lamar, it’s a team game, but tough to watch a Division rival pull that off.

I know I'm not supposed to want the Bengals to win as a division rival, but it was hard to root against them today. I really respect how they built that team. They're going to be a pain in the ass for a long time because as good as they are, they still have a lot of room to improve. It also helps they sucked their way into Burrow, who has the cleanest eval I've ever done. But they nailed it both with him and putting pieces around him. Get him some protection and they're going to be dangerous.

Completely agree
To be fair, the Ravens were pretty abysmal at coming from behind with Joe in the later years prior to Lamar and Lamar had plenty of comeback wins this year.
Damn it... Deebo Samuel scored. I imagine we'll see Tank soon.

For sure , but that won’t make fans feel better. I don’t think Lamar is the problem either , it’s this shitty played out offense we run. Burrow is so good, but i didn’t see him make plays today or last week that Lamar couldn’t pull off.

I’m all for it. Fresh blood in the championship and they can have the target on their back next year.
The thing that worries me the most is they will undoubtedly be better next year with and obnoxious amount of cap space.

Absolutely.
I think Lamar is the driving force in why the Ravens had the capability to come back at all.
I'm no Roman defender.
literally feels like media analysts talk about "generational" talents at QB every few years and yet the 1 year where there genuinely was one you heard nothing because he was only a 1 year wonder
Burrow is literally the definition of a generational prospect - there's a reason the bengals hung up the phone when offered 3 1st rounders + more for the number 1 pick by miami that year
There was legitimately nothing overly negative in his tape. I had to nitpick to find anything there.

Broken record here, but the QB talent in the AFC is ridiculous.
Lamar, Mahomes, Allen, Herbert, Burrow. Then you have Tua, Lawrence and Zach Wilson, they should all improve.
It's going to be so hard for any one team to be truly dominant in the AFC the next 5 seasons. I don't see anyone hosting 4 straight title games like KC has just done.
The NFC on the other hand is wide open.

only thing for me was stuff earlier in the year with some ball placement outside and some turnovers
but the further through the season they got those mistakes just vanished
the fact that in the best case scenario - 2 of those 5 AFC QB stars you've talked about will not win their division is wild - someone in the afc south needs to find a quarterback or they will just disappear (again) as a relevant division (i guess the jags hope it's them but lawrence showed in year 1 a lot of the issues that i saw in his college film that made me categorically not think he was a generational talent)
The downside to the competition in the AFC now is that teams might be so beat up from having to run the gauntlet against that level of competition that they're just a sitting duck for whoever rides their way to the top of the NFC
I think Lawrence showed the most highs and highest flashes of any of the rookie quarterbacks and will end up the best still.
idk the end of the season for TLaw was pretty bleak - obviously poor circumstances but he showed very little in the 2nd half of the season even after Urban was gone
Wilson was a trainwreck early and flashed a bit at the end of the year but still sucked
Fields was i think the flashiest tbh but never found any sort of consistency with being in and out of the starting lineup for various reasons
Lance has hardly played
Jones has showed off all his strengths but also his limitations showed up in a big way too
