This is my biggest problem. I understand the desire to control the clock and give our defense rest, but you need to mix in some intermediate passing game so you don't have short stalled out drives. It's like we intentionally played to the opponent's greatest strength and ignored their greatest weakness. Just a really strange game plan, and they got too conservative too early (like they always do).

A lot of talking heads in the media voted for Lamar as MVP and 1st team All Pro, so expect a lot of incoherent takes where they claim Lamar played well (even though it was mostly just the final drive). Their egos will be tied to how they voted, and it doesn't feel good to be wrong.

This game is just another piece of evidence that Lamar wasn't the MVP this season. He was struggling until Henry and Hill started ripping off runs in the second half. Another thing, was this game followed all of the games this season where Lamar is throwing to college wide open players. It's just crazy how these guys don't have anybody within 5-10 yards. This is while missing their #1 WR, and big plodding TEs are still getting this wide open. The OC for Baltimore should get a HC job or raise or something.

That was obviously the game plan, and it worked. Conditions were bad, so don't take unnecessary risks. Led to a 3-0 turnover ratio.

I'm more optimistic this year than last year because our defense was so injured.

Normally I would sort of understand the conservative shell on offense being up 2 scores in the second half, but it wasn't a good idea vs the Ravens. Their defensive line and run defense is too good. It will just lead to 3-and-outs (like we saw). The Ravens biggest weakness was intermediate to deep passes, which we attempted like 2 of the entire game. I just can't really wrap my head around the game plan there. I know the elements weren't great, but still...

Are people saying that Lamar is a playoff choker and had 2 bad turnovers that were the difference in the game? Is that low rent?

On replay, that pass by Lamar on the 2pt conversion wasn’t perfect. Instead of a nice throw up to Andrews chest, it was kind of underthrown and in his lap. It’s a drop, but could have been a better throw.

I choose to believe that Allen would have led an epic game winning drive even if the Ravens got that 2 point conversion. 1 minute and a half with 2 timeouts? Fuggeddabouttit

By the skin of our teeth!

What? The defense was a sieve in the 2nd half and a Bernard punch out from blowing the game.

Leg got flexed there a bit

Cam Lewis is no bueno

Kick is the right call to take us up 8. Ravens can only tie in regulation (probably).

Hollins planted him, but Humphrey was also pulling him down.

Historic turnover margin, I guess they are really good at it.

Wow, that was divine intervention.

Offense gave the defense a decent breather when you consider the break between quarters. Probably nearly 15 minutes real-time since they’ve been on the field.

Are you in shock? They almost let the Lions come back with a 3 score lead almost the entire game.

Way too conservative

Samuel was like 10 yards away. I dunno…

Should have been intentional grounding.

That was a bad call on the pass interference, but I’ll take it. Evens it up a bit for the game.

He must be there with the guy in the Bills Anquan Boldin jersey.

It’s crazy that wasn’t a personal foul on that dude pile driving Phillips. He took the ref with him.
