Justin Tucker: Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes pregame issue ‘silly’ | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC

[@beatenbykarma]

His explanation and attitude is a perfect illustration of how the game played out. Justin Tucker and the Ravens came to play games. Chiefs came to win an AFC Championship.

[@velder22]

Was it gamesmanship or was it your normal routine give me a freaking break and you're 100% right

[@tammyboon6259]

@@velder22 He only made it sound worse!!! The guy is a vet!!! He's not sum rookie, where u could chalk it up 2 immaturity. I thot of 'New Heights' whn Trav & Jason had Pat on, & they were talking abt vet players!!! BOTH how they helped them whn they came in & how they loved mentoring the younger guys!!! He did his team & ALSO the rookies NO favors! Yesterday I heard parts of the game, where Pat wz mic'd up. Pat got the brunt of most their poor rough calls, striking him across the face & 1 guy intentionally butting his head on2 Pat's helmet. But all oth plays I heard, Pat wz complimenting their guys, whn they got him. Saying "Good rush!!" or "U were fast. I know u were coming up on me." But added lol "But I made it." It wz whn he wz able 2 run but went down 2 not get hit. But at 1 pt, on the sidelines, not 2 Travis, but Pat wz yelling at his guys in a controlled but firm matter, "COMPOSURE, COMPOSURE, COMPOSURE, COMPOSURE..." He just kept on repeating the word. Curious if this wz after Sneed wz being messed up after a play. Pat then says "Keep it 4 in b/t the whistles," meaning harness ur anger & use it whn we're bk out on the field!!" That's the difference of leadership & of being a vet & a mentor 2 the younger players!!!

[@gabeserghini2106]

Ravens started it. Chiefs ended it !

[@tammyboon6259]

Yea, BUT if Travis didn't c all the shit he had put on the ground, & get it out of the way, Pat could've easily tripped?!?! And whn u c the replays of what Raven players did 3xs 2 Patrick, while playing he could've been seriously hurt!!! I wz STUNNED seeing the replays & how brutal they were!!! Its 1 thing if its after a play & guys r getting in2 each oth's faces, BUT as QB Pat wz completely defenseless, whn the 1 guy purposely head butted him w/ his helmet!!! Another Raven struck him across the face, after he tackled him properly, but Pat still being Pat managed 2 pass the ball to Travis, I'm pretty sure it wz 2 Travis. Par wz already going down. I think there's 1 oth more time w/ Pat?! (Unless I'm thinking abt, Sneed whn the oth Raven pushed down?!) BUT c'mon it seemed intentionally that they were wanting 2 purposely hurt the Pat?!?! Cuz suddenly they realized it wzn't gonna 2b so easy 2 take him down?! I would be EMBARRASSED if I wz their Coach & honestly the QB!!! I didn't see any remorse. I'm NOT saying that Lamar is responsible 4 their actions!!! BUT I am saying, he is supposed 2b able 2 lead the team!!!! I wz even confused listening 2 him at the press conference. When he said, he wz mad!! I get it, who wouldn't be. BUT, u are the QB, u r the leader, u need take some accountability?!?! "We messed up. I didn't play my best!!!" "I didn't lead my team in the best way." Something?!?!

[@ecpracticesquad4674]

Maybe the Ravens should have taken the game more seriously instead of focusing on being pestering idiots.

[@zachsmith3685]

Did y’all see the Mahomes radio interview where he said he’s experienced that situation 3 times in 7 years… and all 3 were in Baltimore 😂

[@tammyboon6259]

NO?!?! YIKES! The ONLY thing good, is they were prepared!!! BUT having said that, I take issue w/ them, whn Pat wz STILL their main target, whom I'm sorry it looked deliberate, during the game.1 player hit him across the face, while Pat wz already being taken down, but Pat being Pat wz able 2 still pass the ball!! I mean as QB Pat's defenseless!! I mean, I get that as QB they're gonna trying 2 lock him down 1st. BUT both times, he wz already going down!! Then there's the guy who deliberately butted heads w/ Pat's helmet as he wz already going down. There might've bin 1 oth during the game. But Pat wz still Pay, & able 2 pass the ball, every single time!!!

[@mickcindysal6264]

Totally agree. Justin tried to play mind games and they wouldn't play. They ASKED him to leave and he didn't. The ONLY thing bullies understand is a bigger bully. The Ravens have been thug bullies for years. Now Justin brings it up again when he should have stayed quiet and showed some class. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

[@xyzunotme]

I have to agree with you. Before this game I never looked at the Ravens as being bullies or dirty players. Their behavior on the field shined a light on who they are as a team. The five 15-yard penalties that the Ravens received during the game speaks volumes. KC has listened to the B.S. all year and Baltimore had bought into their own hype of being the absolute best and no way would they lose. smh... arrogance bit them in the a**

[@velder22]

So was it gamesmanship or was it his normal routine, what a buffoon

[@tammyboon6259]

I am new 2 watching the NFL being Canadian w/ our CFL. But Pat Mohomes got me watching the NFL!!! Many, if NOT all sports guys in Canada watch the NFL 2, & our season ends in Nov & starts earlier. What I wz SHOCKED BY & didn't know at that time, he's a 12 yr vet!!!! He wzn't some young, immature rookie. It still would've bin stupid but honestly a vet & few, just a few pundits tried 2 make it sound like this guy wz a rookie or being smaller, that he wz being bullied by Trav & Pat?! The guy is a 12 yr vet!!! If he's going pull this crap, of course, it sends a message 2 his younger teammates, that this behavior is ok!!!

[@gj5990]

Putting your equipment on Chiefs side where they are standing and may trip and break something is not good sportsmanship. He “moved” it inches over and that’s not being problematic? It was a trolling, punk move and he should own it.

[@tammyboon6259]

U APTLY said it, "It was a PUNK MOVE!!!" Take some ownership!!!!

[@eahughey]

Patrick and Travis went into their house and said your pots and pans go over here. 😆😅🤣😂😸

Its childless!!! I know this may sound, corny, BUT I love boxing movies, 4 any1 whose ever watched The Rocky movies, u know, whn his trainer in Rocky 3 or Apollo his knew trainer says 2 him why, he lost this boxing match "U lost the 'eye of tiger,' meaning that hunger!!! & these last 3 games, ESP the road 1s, u saw c these guys, LAZER FOCUS & HUNGER! Its palpable!!! They thrive under pressure! So, no, they're NOT goofing around!!! Pat & Trav & the rest of the team r focused & warming up! This Raven's guy wz either as immature as a middle school boy & needed 2 put his big boys pants on, cuz sumhow he 4got this isn't middle or High School. But ONLY the MOST IMPORTANT GAME b4 the Superbowl!!! Like WTH?! Or 100% he wz purposely trying 2 mess w/ Patti!! (potentially hurt Pat, if Travis didn't move his crap, that he literally put right behind Pat!!! Idk if Pat wld've noticed being so in the zone, w/ his back his shit!!! Frankly this snippet of an interview, didn't help him.

You dont know about the NET behind the goal posts do ya?

[@ThePuttercross]

@@tjellis1479 Look at the video. He is setting up his holder at the goal line near the B in Baltimore in the end zone. To hit the net behind the goal posts he would have to be kicking al like an 80 degree angle. He was doing some passive aggressive nonsense to try and rattle or stir up Mahomes and Kelce.

[@billtyree6876]

It actually is normal for each punter and kicker to go at opposite ends on the goal line or 1 yd line

[@TDR-0484]

​@tjellis1479 have you ever even played football? Dude nobody kicks FG from the goal line. Even PATs are kicked from the 15. Give me a break

[@trienasee2136]

Can anyone in Baltimore show a footage of Tucker sitting up on the 1 line to kick a field goal or extra point....probably NOT! He was messing with Pat and Trav, but they were not having it. Pat could have injured his foot with the pod, helmet or balls.

It is a 99.99999999 % probability that Tucker was doing it with intent. I left the .00000001 % in good faith that there possibly could be at least the remotest chance it wasn't on purpose.

Justin Tucker did himself no favors by explaining himself in this situation. It came off just bad! He should have just shrugged off the question. Or perhaps made fun of the situation.

[@tammyboon6259]

EXACTLY!!! Or man up & admit it was petty!!! Take some accountability. At least u can respect when some1 shows humility. I don't think he realized just how many Sports Commentators saw that, & thot, "What the hell?!?!"

[@SandorCleganeTheHound]

The only “silly” thing is you thinking you could just start messing with the routine of Kelce and Mahomes.

[@tammyboon6259]

I actually think this interview made this Raven's player look bad!!! & he obviously realized that a # of sports commentators were showing it!!! He just sounded immature. U're in the Friggin NFL & most important game 2 go 2 the Superbowl. At least if he wld've owned up & said he was wrong, I'd respect that. We all make mistakes. But its what u do afterwards that really matters!!!

[@cloudcitydigital]

Enjoy the offseason.

[@ThePuttercross]

The Ravens thought this was the Chiefs team from three years ago that could be bullied. They are the bullies now. When Baltimore got punched in the mouth they lost their composure. They were the number one rushing team during the regular season and their starting back ran the ball six times. From the HC down to the Kicker they got rattled and fell apart.

[@T-Bone-bq1yg]

Tucker tried to punk them and he punked his whole team by poking the bears. Mahomes and Kelce and the Chiefs are some bad motherfuckers!

Wow change of tone today. Puting his helmet and everything at Mahomes feet is them going after him? And them goes right back at sets it up at his feet again? I think all the penalties say who really had the attitude, no class, and who the real bullys were.

[@tammyboon6259]

A 100%!!! Its ALMOST shocking how poorly they played & what they resorted 2!!! W/ the Bills, they had guys who didn't play due 2 injuries & oth deficiencies as 1 Broadcaster & former NFL player said, & all agreed on his show. BUT I'd argue that the Bills w/ Josh Allen, had a better game, than the team ranked top & wz said going in2 this game, they had 0 deficiencies!!! Interestingly 1 Broadcaster, showed the next day that Lamar's stats went down in each category during the playoffs, whereas all of Pat's. stats increased during the playoffs!!! The same could obviously be said 4 Travis Kelce, that he played better in the playoffs.

[@FSMWorshiper]

They weren't "self poking" - Tucker put the tee, the helmet and the ball there to INSTIGATE. Chiefs weren't playing...not in pre-game, not in warm ups and not in the game. Meanwhile the bully was busy trying to injure people, instead of playing football. In the end, the bully got punched in the mouth and ran back to their momma - crying the whole way.

[@sheilap2443]

Yeah, Florio is hard to listen to. He speaks as if he was in the locker room and the minds of the Chiefs players and he's speaking out of both sides of his mouth. Not a good look.

[@dunkingpawn3215]

Tucker was 1000% being a jerk, Ravens were too focused on being bullies, giving away silly penalties; instead of focus on football. They deservedly got handled by KC pre and during the game…and packed off.

[@popgrubbs]

Mahomes is quoted on radio that he has only had this happen three times in his career and all three times was teh Ravens. They are trying to get in the Chiefs head.

[@sheilap2443]

Exact;ly! In 7 years he has had only 3 problems in warm ups -- and ALL of them were with the RAVENS. Speaks volumes.

[@Jdeneik]

Tucker was hoping Mahomes would sprain an ankle…the Ravens have had this bully attitude since Brian Billick and the Chiefs out bullied them.

[@jameshopkins6853]

Tucker was just trying to poke the bear. He did…the bear responded. Goofy. Bullies always get theirs. It shouldn’t be allowed for kicker to be able to do that. Oh well, early vacation for the Ravens.

[@sheilap2443]

True. Then came up with excuses why it didn't happen after it got out. Then the back peddling began. Can we all just get along?

[@garyhysell8603]

Yep and when the Raven's player ran to the Chiefs sideline and punched a player in the face that was all in good sportsmanship too! All they need to do is declare to the TV crew (Tony Romo or Chris Collinsworth) before the game they want to make it a fight, make it painful, Be hostile and aggressive beyond the whistle this way they dont get flagged for it. Look they identified Chief's players who represented the greatest threat to their chances to win the game. Then proceed to get them kicked out of the game or injure them. They acted like street thugs! The Refs acted like it was all part of the show for the whole world to see. While Tony Romo acted like their water boy calling the shots and white washing everything they was doing just like every game he gets with the Chiefs. SOB just different faces.

He is a liar unless he kicks 100 yard fg's. Its pretty obvious at this point this was all part of the Ravens game plan, although I don't think they thought they would get all those penalty calls for roughness and poor sportmanship. The Chiefs kicked their ass's anyway. Its like when Mike Tyson bit Holyfields ear because he couldn't beat him in the ring. What it does do is tarnish my opinion of Harbaugh.

@@jca7343you are exactly why I don't like "talking heads" Did you even make an attempt to talk with the " place-kicker" to see why he elected to use that place in that big field or as usual with "talking-heads" you just rambled on? I personally have mo opinion if he was in the right or wrong - I didn't even watch any of the game but I realize you are basing you r"concerns" on "this is not the usual place the kicker practices". And I will explain why I do not like "talking-heads" - their words are based on personal experience, their feelings, their rantings/ravings, their like or dislike of selected persons, their dislike of what a selected person may elected to do which is out of what you consider the ordinary , this is the usual, and "I am always right". To be up front and honest there are perhaps one or two "talking-heads" I have faith in and there are also one or two on air game commentators I believe in and trust their words - you do not fit any of those categories - sorry to say because your face, like many "talking-heads" is all over the tube and soft media. As as an aside I have been watching and following professional long before you were even born, and before your father was even born. I personally have never been able to participate in the game of football because I am a handicapped person but being handicapped has never decreased my love of watching and learning all there is about the game of football nor does it mean I don't know as much about the game of football as do you. While Kelce and Mahomes are both great football players both have been exhibiting erratic behavior this past season and this has been noted by not me but other "talking heads". So enjoy you on air exposure, your highly paid "job" and your opinionated words - you are entitled to your words and I am also entitled to my personal words. While I will take the time to write and express my opinions in this and other places most other people who share b=my beliefs will not take the time or even want to share their feelings about "talkjng-heads" and/or where a place-kicker practices in a stadium. Just remember Mahomes was fined $50,000 by the NFL because of his behavior and his attitude towards officials who he believes are being "unfair" toward him yet that official did in fact make a valid penalty call. No further words need be written - you have your opinion, I have my opinion - we disagree and that is where this all ends. Your "years and experience" and your fathers "years and experience" against my viewing years - I am completely comfortable with what I write in this place - last thought - what exactly does "sounds like" mean?
