In history the Ravens/Steelers playoff matchups have been absolute quality to watch. Would be excited for that matchup.

Plus, that game will be a bloodbath that will favor the team playing the winner in the next round.

Man what happen to Tucker

I still say the way to beat the Ravens is focus on shutting down the run first and take your chances with the ball in Lamar's hands on 2nd/3rd and long, ideally clogging up the middle of the field. Lamar's going to make some big plays occasionally but it's better than letting them slowly bleed your defense out over long punishing drives. And they don't have the outside WRs to really punish you for that strategy.

I was curious so I checked - including today's game, Derrick Henry has been held below 100 rushing yards in 7 games this year. The Ravens are 2-5 in those games... Interestingly both wins were against the Bengals who we know have an abysmal pass defense.

 

So I now feel extremely confident in what I said - sell out to keep Henry below 100 yards and the rest of the offense isn't good enough to beat you.

Well done Ravens. TD with three seconds left when you need another, and burned off a load of clock to get it. Great move.

 

Tucker made that kick? Thought he'd missed it.

They went 70yards in 1 minute ffs

Its funny how rooting interests work. If we somehow become the 1 Seed we would want the Ravens to win more and if we're the two seed we'd want them to lose more as long as they don't fall in the 7th spot lol.

So happy this dumbass show is on FOX instead of overtime.

I don't know. I don't think they match up well with the Steelers or the Chiefs. Ironically though they are probably the team in the AFC that matches up with the Bills the best.

100% should be the approach, but you’ve gotta commit bodies to stopping them. Light boxes won’t get it done against that group, unless you’ve got a Ted Washington on the DL.

They only had 1 minute…

 

If they were serious about coming back then Lamar would have been pushing the ball down the field, but that might have risked a pick so they did like 5 passes just past the line of scrimmage instead. Gotta pad those MVP stats.

Wow 6 min after the game is done and zero fans for the ravens left in the stadium

Baltimore cops are experienced professionals at efficiently loading paddy wagons

A guy with Henry's mileage is probably not going to get stronger 5, 6, 7 weeks more into the season.

They needed to try going long. Too much came off the clock with their calls. The majority of the yardage was taken up by Jackson's run. Short left, short left, short middle, short middle, short right. Even with the time outs it bled the clock.

Regardless, we want a road that doesn't involve having to go through both Baltimore and KC in whatever manner it happens

Man I almost pulled off the most improbably Fantasy comeback. If the Bucs kicker would have made that kick. I was down by like 20 points and then Lamar got his garbage points and the Bucs kicker hit a 51 yard to tie that game I was only down by 1. But he missed that FG so I'm probably cooked lol
