No reason to be overly upset, not like we couldn't see it coming. Melting down in the playoffs is a fucking annual tradition. We see cities like Detroit say , "This is our year!", and we laugh and laugh. Welcome to sports hell, fellas.

Pretty sure Ravens have like top 3 winning % since they came into existence, and have 2 Super Bowls in the last 25 years. This is not sports hell.

Doesn't matter when you rush for like almost 300. I think they were at like 285 or something? I don't know, a lot of these are confirmation bias. Rams probably put up a shit ton of their overall yards in their last 2 drives, and obviously they almost pulled out the result, but pretty obvious Eagles were laying back on the first of those two drives.
Buffalo played conservative as fuck all night with Allen, content to just let Baltimore shoot themselves in the foot while they played ball control moving the chains. Almost came back to bite them, I would have gone for a kill shot going into 2nd half 21-10.
Commanders/Lions Detroit outgainted Wash 521-481.
The biggest stat of this weekend was turnovers. Every winning team had 0 turnovers. Detroit had 5, Ravens 3, Rams 2. Houston actually had 0, but their special teams cost them a good 7 points by itself. For all the talk about Mahomes sloppy play earlier in the season, he hasn't thrown a pick since November 17 v Buffalo (had 2 in that game). Prior to that none since October. Clean play rules the playoffs.

It will be interesting to see how the criticism lands this week. On one hand, he had a couple turnovers in this game, but he also had some incredible plays. That and...I mean, Mark Andrews did what he did out there. Fumble was bad enough b/c he already had the first down across midfield on the play, but the drop on the 2 was just wtf. Maybe Allen drives Buffalo for a FG to win it in reg anyways, but pretty hard to argue Andrews doesn't deserve lion share of the blame for this exit.

I disagree somewhat. Nobody is talking about it, but i thought it was boneheaded to go for 2 the first time when they were down 8 in the 3rd quarter. Still too much time left to be chasing the points there. And sure enough, 2 kicked extra points would have been enough to likely send game to OT. Of course Andrews should make the catch, but i don’t put more weight on his drop than i do on Lamar’s 2 turnovers or the questionable Ravens decision making with game management.
Also- how do you not put the ball in Henry’s or Lamar’s hands on either 2 point try to run it in?

Yeah I don't think there is any way he's retiring. That last drive really could have cemented his hall of fame case. Too bad the center fucking blew it.Please retire...

Sickening to listen to NFL propaganda this morning. Lamar Jackson didn't lose the game with his normal TO-fest in important playoff games. His entire team let him down. Those bastards! CJ Stroud did lose the game by taking terrible sacks. Main difference? One team had the balls to call out the cheating refs. Don't believe your lying eyes! Money isn't riding on that game at all!

I think you answered it in your post above this one. The winning team didn't turn the ball over. I don't see how you can definitively say Andrews drops were any worse than Lamar's just because of the timing. No one can know if Buffalo changes their gameplan, if something else happens, etc. Andrews cost them 2 points for sure and Lamar cost them 7. The numbers alone makes this hard to dispute. Lamar's history of shitting the bed sets the tone as well.
It's really the modern attempt to sell QBs to make more money for the NFL that promotes this garbage. QBs are THE reason teams win and NEVER the reason TEAMS lose. It can't be both things. Just because he's an incredible QB, doesn't mean he can't get criticism for his flaws. Accountability is a real issue in modern America. No one ever wants it.

Oh please, go read Reddit or Twitter threads. Lamar is getting plenty of blame, probably as much or more than he deserves. It is still a team game but QBs get a lot of blame.
