We might have no home field advantage. Seems like a big majority of the stadiums tickets are for sale and for stupid cheap, and nobody is buying

I was at the game against Philly and it was pretty shameful to hear the thunderous E-A-G-L-E-S chants throughout the stadium the entire game. A portion of our fanbase has become soft af.. whether it be due to the weather, or trying to make a quick buck by selling their tickets well above face value lol

Don’t sleep on mcdermotts ability to scheme the run game away and force us to pass the ball well in bad weather

He’ll have them communicating like the 9/11 terrorists

drive, it's certainly what the PA Steeler fans are doing.

And I'd argue its not the reason why we lost. Turnovers, like pretty much all playoff games we've played, is the reason why we lost.

I have no issue in throwing on first down, mostly because if you're playing loaded fronts, running on 1st down and getting 2-3 yards doesn't do much for you. Again, that's why balance is critical.

Just don't recall a Bills or Chiefs postseason loss where the narrative was "we didn't run the ball enough".

I don't recall the Chiefs or Bills only rushing the ball with the backs 6 times

Pussies. When did Baltimore get so soft. We used to build shit in this country, make shit, now we just put our hands in the next guys pocket

 

[allblackraven]

its correlation vs causation

of course we win when derrick henry has 25 carries... he's only getting 25 carries because we're winning and trying to close it out

the 25 carries arent causing the win

There was a game we were going to lose with a chance to get Henry to 20 I think with 1 more carry and I wish we did just to dead this stupid fucking narrative.

Was going to make another post. Allen is a great qb. I have no beef with him, but these talking points are retarded. We are his only win in the divisional round and he's played bums in the WC. I said this last year, but most of Lamar's playoff performances are based off games from 4 years ago. And I know... he didn't play well last year against the Chiefs. As a whole, last year showed progress and only expect it to be better this year.

I havent seen any reasonable person wanting to throw it less other than the guys in sports media. They look at the box score and say “ why henry only has 15 carries” but dont understand penalties and game situations have a lot to do with that because all they did was look at some adv metrics that reads “ ravens are 10-0 when henry has 99 touches”

I would normally agree but Henry is different. Always was, since his Bama days. The more and the earlier you start feeding him, the more effective he is. Run him in no huddle and it quickly becomes exhausting for defense and opens everything for our offense.

Son of a bitch, I love me some negative peer pressure.. I'm in

Same as every other crew.

No, but I recall the Bills rushing the ball with backs 9 times in a playoff game. Against the Chiefs.
They lost 38-24. Nobody blamed lack of running game. Josh Allen had 375 total yards. Led his team in both carries and rushing yards (by a gigantic margin).
And the Chiefs scored 38 points with their RBs getting less than 60 yards of rushing.

they call a ton of holding calls and the 2nd most penalties in the league

counter point: Eagles are one of the fan bases that travel really well. Extra obnoxious as well, every one of them is like 10 commanders fans lol

im not saying not to give him carries

just saying that the idea that he gets 25 carries and we magically win is not true

Obviously not but there is also a single game we lost this season (Eagles) where he had close to 20. All the other losses he was under 15 and we lost all these games by 7 or less.

Allen played out of his mind. Again not trying to knock the players but that was also a different Chiefs defense and the Bills were built to pass at that point. We were a running team that abandoned the run when the game was still within reach.

Right but my point is "being a running team" doesn't mean you're game plan is to just run on everybody no matter what. You'll definitely lose games that way. Especially big one's. If you have an offense that can only win one way, you were dead $ anyway.

Agree and i think you would still agree the game plan was bad against the chiefs.

For whatever reason this comment made me go check when zay fumbled And it was 8 seconds into the 4th q.

Fuck it. I'm in. We winning it all

Didn't love it, didn't hate it. If we don't turn the ball over, the game plan may have changed or not mattered at all. I'm not in the "lets overreact to every loss" business. I just want to win games. Don't care how its done.
