The Running Game, the Turnovers, and the Same Ol’ Ravens

This is who we are and this is why I have tried with every ounce of my being to not give a shit and not have any hope.

I can’t keep investing my Sundays to this team. They only bring me down. I have too much other shit that I have to stay in good energy and good spirits for, can’t dedicate my time and energy to shit that brings me down.

I’m finally hopping on your boat Captain Joey.

I can’t be vested in this shit so heavily every year. Gonna start playing pickle ball or something
 
I’m heartbroken, even though after last year’s loss to the Chiefs I told myself I wouldn’t care so much, yet they sucked me in again.

Well the int didn’t result in any points so any impact is hypothetical, the fumble as I’ve explained many times is much more on Linderbaum than Lamar

That series just looked weird, like they weren't prepared. Lamar couldn't get his mouth guard in and he was rushing. Next thing, inexplicable int. It all looked rushed and weird.

Proposed Trade.... This is the same exact trade compensation from the Sean Payton trade.

Baltimore Ravens Receive: 2025 1st Round Pick (10th Overall), 2026 2nd Round Pick

Chicago Bears Receive: John Harbaugh, 2025 3rd Round Pick

You know what gets me though? This was the first season we showed any resilience. We overcame. Losses, leads turnovers. We were supposed to be the battle tested version. And yet..
 
JAAM said:
I’m slowly but surely getting there. I’ll still watch them next season but I really have to stop getting so invested and just enjoy whatever happens. Like shit affects my daily life when we lose and it ain’t healthy

After week 1 in KC I knew the refs were never going to let anyone else win the SB so I never expected it this season. Maybe that's why I'm less annoyed by this loss.

That's right. And so there must be an implication lol. Are our rosters so much worse than we think? And Lamar is just masking enormous deficiencies? Idk something ain't right

Probably, just look at some of the teams he has willed into the playoffs or almost into the playoffs. The 2021 team had no business being the 1 seed but Lamar willed us into the 1 before he got injured and the team collapsed. Same with the 2022 team, that team had no business being in the playoffs but Lamar won us enough games before he got hurt for us to make it in

There’s a statistic about this. Lamar can’t be bad or average at any point if we expect to win.

Brady and Mahomes have had multiple stinkers and they still manage to win.

We don’t know how to win if Lamar isn’t superhuman and today Mark let us down. It is what it is. Mark hasn’t been great or good in any game as our star TE

We just haven’t had anyone else who can take over a game… this year we had Henry which was the first time we did have that guy… but 3 turnovers and those 2 2 pt failures are too much to overcome

We don’t really have playmakers other than Lamar and henry

Kyle Hamilton can be but not if he’s stuck at post safety all game

We don’t have a Chris jones, tyreek hill, Travis Kelce on this team
 
UPennChem said:
Not trying to be exaggerating or inflammatory. Do you guys think we'll win a SB in the remainder of Lamar's time here?

At this point it just seems like you need Lamar to be a top 3 QB every year and just play the numbers game looking for luck in the playoffs. Like idk what else can be done.

I'm starting to think no. I was thinking this at halftime. Honestly, I'm glad I got to see win it in 2012 otherwise I'd be gutted. Other from the Portland Trail Blazers and Oregon Ducks, I've witnessed all of my favorite teams win a championship in the sports I actually care to watch.

Defense doesn’t create turnovers in the playoffs unfortunately.

And Henry got killed behind the line a few times. There’s an illusion of how great we are running the ball but we need to invest in that line a bit more.

I'm thinking yes if he stays healthy. But it's gonna be when we get another guy. There has to be a Justin Jefferson or a Kyle's Garrett. There has to be somebody with some juice

Blazers never EVER had a roster good enough to compete imo
 
I’m proud of our team for coming back hard in the second half after playing poorly in the 1st half .They didn’t quit .
Andrews’ 4th quarter was horrific and while I don’t like to blame one player for a loss , this is on him.
