Not this year for sure, but Harbaugh has gotten a lot of credit for having his team in the mix, even when things look their worst in Ravens land.
Harbaugh survived winning one playoff game since 2014 and multiple “down” years since then. A lot of them with Flacco and/or Lamar.
Harbaugh survived having LJ being the unanimous MVP, and the one seed, and getting punked in their first playoff game.
Harbaugh survived getting ABSOLUTELY out coached in the divisional round in 2020.
I disagree the health of the Ravens and the Bills are the same. Roquan Smith has been a huge piece for them. If they lost him, I don’t think Lamar has already locked up the MVP (from a win perspective). I also disagree that their talent is the same.
But regardless, the Ravens went 8-9 and 10-7 with a one and done playoff run the last two seasons with Lamar. I think most agree the fan base wouldn’t want to give McD that chance to retool with two years like that. Jmo.
