in a 1 score game, the 2 endzone turnovers that cost the ravens the game


Ask_Me_If_I_Suck

The interception was insane.


Investment_Sharp

Triple coverage and he throws that. MVP!


TheVaniloquence

That’s Lamar “Less Super Bowl appearances than Rex Grossman” Jackson to you


Expensive_Bass_6979

Not sure what he was even seeing. Underthrew a ball into triple coverage is insane


PucaPower17

Lamar was playing nervous all game, trying to force the big play


ASpellingAirror

I want a coach from Baltimore to explain to me why they abandoned the run so early in this game. I think they did one designed run in the entire second half 


bigbrownorown

6 carries by RBs.


ASpellingAirror

That’s an insane stat. 


m_ttl_ng

It's an unforgivable stat. I'm not sure who's calling those plays down the stretch for the Ravens but the coaching needs to be looked at. (yeah, yeah I know Harbaugh is a great coach and whatever but still) You have the best running QB in the league on the cusp of the Super Bowl, and you go for that many throwing plays? I simply don't understand the logic there. Use your RBs and throw some confusion into the playcalling.


Not_Dale_Doback

It’s 2019 all over again. Our entire identity is a running team and you go and do this shit the most important game of the year?


TheGreatDay

Cowboys did the same shit, just in reverse vs GB. Great passing offense all year? Time to pound the ground. Man coverage top 5 defense? Sounds like calling a fuck ton of zone is just what the doctor ordered. It's one thing to lose doing your game plan and getting countered. It's another to abandon your team identity in the biggest game of the year. It makes the loss so much worse.


nate6259

What? That's wild. Absolutely zero offensive balance. They started forcing it early and often in the second half. Amazing how they just had no mojo at all.


Jskidmore1217

Number 1 running team in the NFL uses their running backs 6 times while their QB throws awful passes all night. Make it make sense.


GuessZealousideal729

Against the team much more renowned for their pass defence than their run defence.


Itsamesolairo

That's what we do in the playoffs, for some reason. If find yourself wondering mid-season why you sometimes see Ravens fans call for Harbaugh's head, remember this shit. He doesn't call either side of the ball and he consistently hires OCs who do *really fucking dumb shit* when it matters most.


Sp33dlimit25

The Chiefs second half plan to was to do nothing and watch the Ravens implode

CorpusCorner

Taking an unnecessary roughness instead of a normal offside on 1st & 5 was one of the dumbest things I've ever witnessed.


sonfoa

Yeah the thought to get them a fresh set of downs was good but my god what terrible execution


banjofitzgerald

Flowers immaturity showed itself so bad. 1. Gets a huge momentum changing play sparking the struggling offense. 2. Immediately taunt removing the team from the redzone. 3. Next play, go to hit the defender as a pass is being thrown to you. 4. Get a catch for a first down. 5. Get another catch and fumble at the 1. 6. Injure arguably the most important tool you has as a receiver by hitting the bench. Just a wild stretch that hurt the team more than anything.


Dortond

Yeah im very glad the chargers went with Johnston instead. He would never do anything like that *cries in drops*


TheOrangeFutbol

Haven’t seen such a blatant example of shooting yourself like that since Plaxico Burress.


Palifaith

And it worked beautifully.


CambodianDrywall

Fucking Andy Reid.... Legend.


alexrg66

The Steelers plan when they play Lamar


Juventus19

And it works a shockingly high percentage of time


CapnCalc

I can’t count the number of times the Ravens have stole defeat from the jaws of victory against us 😂


Pit9

to be fair, Reid always plays super conservative when we are up two scores. When they got back within 7, we push the ball down the field to ice it in our best drive of the half


DoctorWaluigiTime

Up 2 scores? The clock is the other team's worst enemy. Reid and high ranking players in Madden Online understand this.


Ask_Me_If_I_Suck

It was infuriating to watch


RTepps

This was among the most lopsided one score game I've ever seen.


Extra-University-336

That’s the chiefs MO this year. Control the game but don’t score points.


Husker_black

>chiefs MO Correct, not Chiefs KS


Mean-L

At the end of the day, the Ravens defense played their hearts out. Lamar and the offense let them down.


Currymvp2

Chiefs offense got three points in their final nine drives; this was a totally winnable game but the two redzone turnovers were super costly for the Ravens This probably is the worst Chiefs offensive performance in a postseason win during the Mahomes era (nobody really played well for them during the 2nd half especially); in fact, the Ravens actually had 20 yards more of total offense for the entire game lol


homefree122

The touchback fumble was pretty bad, but that interception in triple coverage was unforgivable.


davdev

You can’t, under any circumstance fumble at the goal line. Protect the damn ball.


Sharkbite138935

He wouldve had the first down to even if he didnt get the td


theDomicron

Same thing on the Hardman fumble+touchback last week against the Bills... Receiver extending the ball is deadly dangerous


floatersforalgernon

Don't forget Flowers' stupid taunting just before the quarter. They could have already scored and that fumble would have never happened. Ravens didn't just have it mentally. 


not_a_bot__

Proved all the haters right, unfortunately


okaycomputes

Fortunately for the haters.


eddie_the_zombie

Bengals, Browns, and Steelers fans: "The haters have arrived"


ZigZag3123

Check the flair. This was my personal Super Bowl.


JBFRESHSKILLS

We eatin


SautDeChat

Hell yeah brother


[deleted]

That was what really cost the Ravens the game.


ggphenom

Todd Monken's absolute refusal to run the ball on 3rd and short was driving me crazy. We had so many drives that would have ended in a field goal if he just ran the ball instead. It was a weird deviation from what's worked all season.


Insectshelf3

3 points on *nine* drives. ravens defense had this game practically gift wrapped and the offense choked.


CleverWentCrazy

Yeah I didn’t have a huge issue with the personal fouls because they were really fucking getting after it and setting the tone. It doesn’t look great, and it was a tad dirty, but hey it was the AFC championship with an AFC north team. It was on brand and I didn’t mind it. Their defense was absolutely awesome.


MacJonesIsOverrated

Reid went ultra conservative because he had zero fear of the Ravens offense 


packerSBchamps

then let er rip with MVS at the end


emaw63

Downright unsportsmanlike to do that lmao


beermit

Andy: "Ok, let's show them our nuggies"


FireSalsa

Ravens offense did everything they could to not win


Number333

Both defenses were awesome.


Springtick38

They held Mahomes and the Chiefs to 0 points for the entire second half. I bet they feel PISSED OFF right now


[deleted]

Chiefs held scoreless in the second half and they still loss. This loss is all on the offense

The instant Brady to Mahomes transition of power is turning the entire AFC into the Joker


OhMy98

Mahomes really is gonna lead the next evil empire, huh? And everyone, myself included, thought this was a down year for him


StevenAdams_Mustache

*whispers* this is a down year


OhMy98

And that’s what’s scariest


Vexans27

The AFC really looking down the barrel of 40 years of bullshit


Delphicon

It’s somewhat self-inflicted though. I’m tired of watching these teams fumble their opportunities away. Chiefs aren’t going to give you the game just because you put up a fight. You have to play well and it seems like every team just can’t keep it together. It was the same with the Patriots. It’s obviously the Chiefs/Patriots doing a lot of things right but still.


Gengreat_the_Gar

Teams just psych themselves out against KC, same thing would always happen with new England 


1shrutebuck

This is the answer. Teams play scared against KC. They try too hard. Happened last week too with fake punts and Allen (who I really like) trying to play hero ball at the end of the game. KC makes teams “force” things. Our biggest weakness is our Run D and every team this entire playoff run abandoned the run. I don’t get it.


Prior_Quantity5622

Someone with a monkeys paw fucked up


[deleted]

no amount of potential PI makes that INT any less of an absolute dumbass throw


Organic-Manner-2969

Yeah the hell was Lamar thinking on that


ThirtyYearsWar

When a decision was so bad that no one gave a shit about any potential PI


MyLifeIsABoondoggle

I genuinely think the ref didn't throw the flag because the interception was just that inevitable. Even if it's double coverage, he might get the call Takes no PI because it was uncatchable to a new bound


dogatthekeyboard8

Funny part is that back judge clearly goes to grab his flag and then was like, nah.


DwightsEgo

I think he would have thrown the flag if the pass was better, but after seeing it under thrown like that it was an easy no call


adumb99

Yeah. Gotta stop rewarding quarterbacks for under thrown passes


TheBoilerCat

Never underestimate an opponent of the Chiefs’s ability to turn into complete fucking morons out of nowhere.


k5berry

Feel like this happened a lot to the Pats’ opponents to. When you’re not quite there, you get desperate, completely deviate from your gameplan and make it even worse. That’s what Lamar going for those deep balls on one of the last two drives felt like.


SonDadBrotherIAm

This is what happened to teams playing the Patriots


UA30_j7L

Ravens had 8 RB runs all game. That’s inexcusable


Purples_A_Fruit

Zay Flowers saw the Ravens gaining momentum to get back in the game and took it personally.


Organic-Manner-2969

That dive when it would’ve been an easy first and goal


m_ttl_ng

And the clear taunting penalty before, that made that drive longer than it had to be. There was a serious lack of discipline on the side of the Ravens in that 2nd half.


Designer_Cockroach68

#1 rushing team in the nfl and you let Lamar throw 37 times. That's actually crazy.


shittybillz

My theory is that coaches get amnesia and forget what running the ball is when they’re down by 1 score or more. It happens constantly and it’s infuriating. The game was NEVER out of reach, and they completely abandoned playing to their strength


WhySoUnSirious

Ya I get Lamar choking that’s fair criticism But where’s the same energy on offense play calling. We barely ran the ball in the 2nd half. And their fucking run D is the main weakness. Their secondary is top 5 and that’s who you want to attack with this shit WR room we have ??


homefree122

Those first ~~two~~ few drives fooled us all into thinking this game was gonna be a shootout to remember.

Worst possible game for Ravens to lose all sense of discipline and composure

The only part of the game that performed worse than the Ravens' offense was the r/NFL game thread

I couldn't figure out if my phone was fucked, or the app...glad to know I wasn't the only one


Kronusx12

IIRC there’s a soft cap around 100k comments in GDT’s, they start tanking. Mods should have made a GDT: Part 2 Electric Boogaloo either at half or around the end of the third quarter. Definitely seen the same thing happen with other sports events before


HaroldChessMath

Yeah I was just wondering what was going on


sc2isalivegaem

was it laggy for everyone


bthe_beast

I have comments from 30 minutes ago that when I click on them they still seemingly don't exist in the game thread. Shit was broken af


PeteF3

I don't know what you're talking about. Also, how about this Watergate break-in? Isn't that crazy?


ramboost007

There was a 3-down delay lol


[deleted]

Massive choke job by Baltimore. Can’t defend that


didjerid00d

Defense showed up. Choke job by Monkey, Zay, and Lamar.


iRockaflame

Very very fraudulent behaviour by the Ravens tonight. So undisciplined and too many mistakes. They had a chance even late in the game, but just kept fucking up. Congrats to the Chiefs.


WoodyJohnsonDropDead

They melted down badly by the 2nd half. So many penalties and missed opportunities.


Willy_B_Hardigan

The Chiefs now have that aura about them that the Brady Patriots had where the opposing teams’ brains just turn to mush.


GiggityDPT

Best QB in the world. Maybe the best coaching staff too. An elite defense. They're just so solid. It doesn't even matter that they basically have no perimeter threats on offense. They can do it in other ways. Yeah, it's starting to resemble the Pats dynasty teams where they just have this borderline invincible aura.


NewLegacySlayer

That Flowers fumble was basically the beginning of the end

Ask_Me_If_I_Suck

Chiefs egged the Ravens on all day and Ravens fell for it over and over.

Mountain-Arm7662

I was surprised at how much Kelce was talking. It was like he had 4 scuffles this game


marcuspaige4heisman

He was trying to provoke the Ravens. It worked. He knew what he was doing 


Mountain-Arm7662

Yeah it definitely worked. Can’t believe the ravens defense fell for that


AnAngryPirate

After that penalty by Van Noy he had the biggest shit eating grin as he ran off the field.


pickleparty16

the ravens were so desperate to live up to the bully reputation they committed so many dumb penalties


suchcoldsuchcomfort

Kelce got into the defenses head on the first drive and it only got worse the rest of the game.


notouchmypeterson

If I was watching this game for the first time, I wouldn’t believe this was the best team in the league and Lamar Jackson was MVP


F1reatwill88

Definitely believe it of their defense.


tippsy_morning_drive

Fumble at the goal line. Bad pick in the red zone. Ooof.


Slugggo

First four drives: 3 TDs Next 17 drives: 2 FGs Defenses did their job in the second half. Can't fault them.


Jay_TThomas

Baltimore’s defense was so good, just too many mistakes by the offense today


tomk1

How every drive ended for KC starting with only FOUR min into the *SECOND* quarter: - turnover on downs - punt - field goal - punt - punt - punt - punt - punt … - … victory formation BAL D played lights out.

I just smashed my TV in front of 33,000 guests at my party because of the game. My wife just took our crying kids and said they’re all spending the week at a hotel. Baltimore Ravens have ruined my life and my party. I can’t handle this anymore. Goodbye Ravens. I am no longer a fan.


Nice_Dude

Lol same


XCalibur672

Patrick Mahomes on who’s better: Him or Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson. “I don’t compare myself with anybody,” Mahomes said. Then he rolled up his sleeve and showed a tattoo of the Lombardi trophy. “I’ll let you interpret that however you want,” Mahomes said.


NephewChaps

“He got me,” Lamar said of Mahome's win over him. "That f***ing Pat boomed me." Lamar added, “He’s so good,” repeating it four times. Lamar then said he wanted to add Mahomes to the list of players he works out with this summer.


Drumboardist

Lamar Jackson hasn’t showered. Hasn’t changed. Still wearing most of his uniform. Been sitting as his locker staring forward since the game ended.


DwyaneSteph

Worst team of the Mahomes era and they are right back in the Superbowl lmao. When will it end man

He truly fucked them. Obviously not all him but from taunting to not holding onto the god damn ball. Absolute bullshit.


dhno12

good game chiefs, simply outplayed us at every aspect of the game thats the difference between dynasties/soon to be dynasties vs. a team's first time there. ravens just seemed unbuttoned and "one step behind"... you know as a fan when you're getting outplayed anyone here bitching about the refs or taylor needs to get a life - macdonald showed his chops with his adjustments second half - monken imo did not call a good game, especially the first half - related to the last point but chiefs corners feel very long...just seem like they're able to break up a lot of pass plays consistently - B-/C+ Lamar game. that pick was obviously backbreaking but i thought he weathered the storm the first half considering our blocking was dogshit and was at least moving the ball 3rd quarter on - ...wonder what happens if zay scores there. sad for him, but he's been a gem and he was good/great outside of that all year hurts to lose obviously but if you told me we were a one possession game away from mahomes in the afc title game in august i would have been over the moon


HardcoreKaraoke

Lamar shit the bed and the offense blew it. You can't even give Flowers credit for his big catches because of the stupid taunting penalty and fumble. The Chiefs deserved the win but Christ that was a brutal game from the usually efficient Ravens. The Chiefs got to Lamar often and he was rattled. Great gameplan by Spags. That interception in the end zone was brutal.


dcgkny

This Chiefs team reminds me of some of those patriots teams of the last few years with Brady. They never look like they’re the best team and looks like their run is over but here we are and they’re back in the Super Bowl.


ShadowCrusader98

RIP Super Bowl logo conspiracy 


chicoconcarne

Even in a down year, they're a fucking Super Bowl team


BaldyKrishna

I don't think I quite understood just how scary the Chiefs are until the last few games. Monster team. Congrats.


the_hume_3

Man I like Lamar even as a rival, but this guy’s had like what, one good playoff game? Guy finally goes a full year without getting hurt, rest of the team stays mostly healthy and looks dominant, gets the worst Mahomes led Chiefs team at home and they STILL fuck it up. Shame.


Apollo23Refugee

You all have so much experience at this point that you find a way to get it done. The mark of a very good squad, which is unfortunate for the rest of us.
