[@Nasa-cosmonaut]

They totally abandoned the run game again, not to mention the costly turnovers. And despite all that, our defense STILL gave us numerous chances to get back in this game. They were lights out in the 2nd half. This loss is totally on Lamar, Zay, and coaching for deviating from a winning formula of balanced running with a good mix of passing. It was ugly, frustrating, and hard to watch.

We’ve seen since the beginning of the season Lamar’s strength is not throwing to the deep corner/out/fade.

You keep giving Mahomes chances and a defense that can keep you in check, and game over. All Mahomes had to do was burn clock and game manage at that point. That's exactly what they did. They only needed to do what was needed to win the game. Chiefs defense is who won this game. Mahomes WR's weren't on the same level as Baltimore's, but still pulled off the win.

[@joesmith1544]

How did the Ravens win a superbowl in 2000? It wasn't just Ray Lewis: Ravens had nothing on offense as 2000 superbowl champions? Searching for a consistent runner, the Ravens gave Holmes a chance in '98. He responded by gaining 1,008 yards in 13 games as a starter, but those numbers didn't impress Brian Billick, who became head coach in '99. Billick craved a burly back for his power-running attack, and the 213-pound Holmes was deemed too slight to take the pounding that a featured back takes in the NFL. Billick drafted Jamal Lewis. Jamal Lewis (Rookie) 309 attempts 1,364 yards 6 TD 27 rec 296 yards 11.0 yds avg. Priest Holmes 137 attempts 537 yards 2 TD 32 rec 221 yards receiving 6.9 yds avg. Shannon Sharpe (2-time superbowl wins in Denver) 67 rec 810 yards 5 TD 12.1 yds avg.

[@fredlettuce7962]

Lamar, still not ready for prime time…

[@aaronklestinec9045]

Chiefs really didn’t do shit in the whole 2nd half. They had a good plan very early but once the defense settled in they balled out. The number one problem in this game was lack of the run game. 2. Stupid ass turnovers. 3. Fuck you if you don’t think the officiating was lobsided, that pick was clear pass interference on Likely. But, chiefs have playoff pedigree and a great coach. Lamar will learn I have faith

[@cesaroctaviosanchezgonzale9460]

Lamar is an average thrower, sure when you include his rushing abilities, he is top 5 in the league, but in the playoffs you need that elite throws, any way he looks like a great guy, hope he can make it to the Super Bowl one day

[@mmxcix]

What went wrong? They paid too much $52M a year for an overrated player that chokes every year. Oh well,vyou should blame Deshaun 'Happy Ending' Watson for that overpay since he's the baseline for QB salary.

[@jpap967]

I agree - if you weren't gonna beat the Chiefs now at arguably their worst, when will you beat them? They'll likely be even better next year and the years following. Also, the Ravens roster was LOADED on offense and defense

No matter what I’m a raven and a Lamar Jackson fan because we are real champions that keep going no matter what even if we only do good in the regular season or lose every year in the playoffs I’ll be a man at the end of the day to keep going and get back up the next season no matter what happened in the past let go of the fear let go of the guilt let go of whatever was and walk into what is creed 3 ❤ and for all the haters and doubters we love it because there’s always next season and no matter if y’all are right about the ravens and Lamar or not what difference does it make that’s life you win and you lose that simple so we are gonna just see where god takes us and walk into what ever comes next

[@Greasyheels]

For the coaches to make the decision to abandon the run is insane. It almost makes you question if it was rigged with how stupid of a decision it was

[@lbennhtx6072]

Why the hell we don’t run the damn ball more?? 😡

[@BlimpCityFeeder]

The INT was a disaster though I think LJ8era thought with #22 bumping TE Lively#80 that P/I would have been called. No that doesn't excuse the risk of throwing into triple coverage. He played poorly. Clowney, Van Noy & DT hitting PM2 didn't help.

[@Will-ex2wr]

How do you not run the ball especially when the game is close. Totally unacceptable.

[@amazinkay4512]

This game should have been an easy win. Held KC to 17 points 😂 Lamar chokes every big game. He just can't do it and never will.

[@edwintapia200]

How about the chiefs defense put some respect on them

[@Darth_Arashi]

No one can apparently outside Mahomes I mean who can? You can’t answer.

[@neverstopimproving89]

​@edwintapia200 I mean. The Bills ran all over the Chiefs defense just last week. Allen had 3TDs on them with no turnovers. This was just a severe choke job by Lamar and nothing more.

[@user-xx3kh2wz3o]

Say whatever u like,lamar wss in the pocket he had more passing yards than patrick mahomes.

[@edwintapia200]

Same with the ravens defense

[@CraftySouthpaw]

Despite all the immaturity/penalties on defense, they did their job by holding the Chiefs to 17. This loss was 90% on Lamar - he sat in the pocket/held the ball too long, he didn't feel pressure or adjust to the blitz, he continually overthrew receivers on deep shots, he ignored open checkdown targets & tried to force the ball downfield, & he turned over the ball twice. During one of their last drives (the one that ended in a pick IIRC), there were at least TWO plays where a receiver was open within 5-10 yards & Lamar ignored them & tried to force the ball downfield (which fell incomplete both times).

[@bilyg5689]

Penalties. Interception and two fumbles. Time of possession barely more than half that of KC. A great running team that didn’t run. It’s hard to win that way. And Mr. October lays another big egg in a big game. AT HOME! Pathetic.

[@Lottoboi100]

What's crazy to me all season long this Ravens team straight up beat the crap out of people but then the game before the Super Bowl they finally lay an egg What??? It wasn't all Lamar Jackson fault but he could have done more running around to make something of nothing

Points taken off the board because of *KCs defense* Don't act now like Lamar has ever been all word. Give Spags his flowers.

[@dakotajohnson4229]

The Ravens showed up against Mahomes and the Kansas City Refs with no discipline in key moments. Lamar made mistakes, but the most costly mistakes were definetly the penalties. It sometimes seemed as if the Chiefs could do know wrong, but thats no excuse.

I feel the ravens didn't play to their strengths and instead tried to win with Lamars arm only. Lamar legs are what makes him special, along with good Qb play.

[@rorytribbet6424]

Lamar played the worst half of a football an mvp has maybe ever played in the same season as they actually won an MVP lol. Not saying he didn’t earn it, he did since it’s a regular season award, but this playoff performance was just absolutely 😢😢

[@Joe-dd5ht]

Its a catch22 with Lamar, good enough to win MVP but not to win in the playoffs

[@BuddyChy]

I feel bad for Flowers. Great kid, great player, and he played great all game. People making way too big a deal out of the taunting. It was mostly irrelevant and Sneed was grabbing his leg which is why he pushed him away, but the taunt after was a mistake. Would’ve been his team’s MVP if he protected the ball over the goal line. 5 catches, 115 yards and their only TD. Should’ve had 2. Amazing rookie season and can’t wait to see him bounce back next year!

[@NoelG702]

I think Likely put his hand up for the ball, and that's why Lamar threw it. I don't know why. He had to see at least 2 of the KC defenders back there. Bateman and Odell were open on that play.

[@paulnjoro667]

I can’t believe they choked on a big stage if though most people feel like Ravens were the better team. Lamar never looked comfortable and composed.

Lamar totally shit the bed in the playoffs yet again. And the play calling was atrocious. Ravens struggle against really good coaching staffs and the chiefs epitomize this.

[@justforfun5391]

#1 mistake is the TAUNTING at the 8 yrd line of the Chiefs. Lamar does not do well under pressure and being down 2 TD, he gets nervous. The odds are the Ravens gets 7 pts from there and would only be 3 down. Lamar would calm down a bit by being only down 3 instead of 14.
