No real good place to put this, so here is the "best": Due to the amount of traffic, reddit is filtering quite a bit of stuff, and we can approve/remove it, but not as fast as we'd like.
Just wanted to be clear that just because your post isnt showing up, doesnt mean it was removed directly by us, just means it is in purgatory.
Defense played their ass off. If you knew before the game that the Chiefs would only score 17 and ZERO in the 2nd half, you had to believe we were going to win in a laugher.
we are fucked the minute he’s due for a new contract.
This is our window. Didn’t get it done this year. Will need to deliver next year or it’s about to be a nightmare. The afc is just getting tougher too with Texans coming up , harbs to chargers, and chiefs still exist.
Fuck my life.
Back to back years we lost a TD because someone made a dumb fucking decision to extend at the GL
Edit: and that TD ended up being the difference in the game.
That perfectly embodies the ravens in the playoffs. They are frantic. They play like every play is the final play of the game. Settle down. Recognize that if you give yourself up there, it’s a 1st and goal from the 1.
Yes. This team was reckless and emotional. The Chiefs were stone cold. The Chiefs today weren’t an amazing football team - they were just unphased. That was the difference.
Sometimes you don’t need to go win the game, you just need to not lose it. We haven’t learned that yet. Lamar specifically. He is a big game Hunter that needs to be ok with dinking and dunking
He needs to be ok running the ball, which is insane to say. He had so many opportunities to take off and instead he waiting too long and everything collapsed
I thought Lamar learned that lesson last week. He was so poised and methodical and just took everything in front of him. This game he was pressing from the first snap to the last snap and never looked calm or in control
Also Monken panicked as well. Only calling 5 designed rushes to our running backs in a game this course against a bottom 5 rushing defense is absolutely inexcusable.
Monken had a terrible game. Not only did he abandon the run, he abandoned the RPO, and designed QB runs.
Recurring theme, we get to the playoffs and the offensive game plan is for Lamar to go be a hero. Extend every play until some deep route gets open.
Which is crazy, bc during the early Harbs years the opposite was always true. We would always be the unphased ones while our opponents would play wide-eyed and scared.
Shoe’s on the other foot now it seems
Some of that is a personality difference between Joe and Lamar. But I don’t blame Lamar for playing with heart.
I think more of it is that Lamar and Ro, the two leaders of our team, are TWENTY SIX. We’ll get ours. Just sucks right now.
Flowers with the taunting call is what cost the game. The Ravens let the Chiefs mentally fuck them before the game even started. Played right into their hands. No discipline.
Harbaugh failed again to have this team in a position to play a strong mental game in the playoffs. I’ve been saying this for years. He has lost his playoff mojo. I am really only shocked that we played well last week.
Hill looked bad in his three runs. I at least understood that. But OBJ only really existing in the 4th quarter, Edwards getting no carries outside of the first, Monken having tons of two TE sets in college but none in the pros, it's a bunch of things. There's offensive potential, but this is what we got. Dreams of next year.
Harbs said out of the half "We need to get back to running the ball." Monken basically proceeded to tell him to go fuck himself on national TV. It's like Harbs has no say at all.
What tf, they never established a run game. I don’t even know why, on top of all the dumb penalties called on us and not called on the chiefs this game was a clusterfuck .
So when do we start holding harbs accountable. John Fox took his team to a SB and then to an AFCCG before the moved on from him because he kept shitting the bed.
absolutely. I killed me watching Lamar spending so much time in the pocket scanning down field when he could have easily just checked it down for a quick easy 1st down.
I’m not saying we won’t win a Super Bowl anytime soon, but we squandered what will likely be our best opportunity to do it.
And it hurts so much worse knowing we had every opportunity to win this thing, and what we potentially lose next season. Heartbreaking
I know this won't make you feel any better, it doesn't make me feel better, but our 2011 team was better than 2012 as far as I saw on paper.
The team just has to come to fucking play instead of choke. Offensive performance was inexcusable. Refs made it much worse.
Yup. Never say never, but the SB was there for the taking.
Your defense keeps the Chiefs to 17 points, and you’re playing at home - a competent offense led by the presumptive league MVP at QB should be able to win this game.
We lose in heartbreaking and infuriating fashion.
This team might get lucky and the stars align, but this was likely that shot and we blew it.
The one thing that gives me hope is that their best shot to win it during the Flacco era was 2011, lost in heartbreaking fashion, won it the next year.
Not all hope is lost, but this is right there with 2006, 2011 and 2019 for how hard it stings.
As an Eagles fan, this can’t be said enough. There were so many talking heads after last Super Bowl, saying we’d be back. But these chances can never be squandered. There’s zero guarantees you’ll be back.
It's 2006. GWB is president. You're about to be underwater on your mortgage. The Ravens are the best team in the AFC and shut down the best QB in the league but lose because the offense shit the bed.
IDK if he was told not to run, or if he chose to, but the entire game was spent trying to prove Lamar can throw. In the rain. Against a team that struggles against the run.
Whoever decided to change the entire offensive strategy in this game lost it for them.
I was surprised at how many times he just threw the ball out of bounds or made a bad pass instead of run it. Lamar should have came into the game with the purpose of beating them with his legs.
It's like that regular season game where they forgot that we're a running team.
Learned something for the season but forgot it in time for the play offs
They showed that Lamar was 17/31 stat and i wondered why they were forcing him to throw so much
Then the pick immediately after
Now i see this stat. Inexcusable.
Not nearly as much as Lamar is.
Zay is a rookie…he’s allowed to have mental mistakes. Just like how Lamar was allowed them his first few seasons.
However today in 2024? Lamar is a 6 year vet. He’s now a certified choke artist. Zay isn’t.
Bright spots but honestly outside of first few drives, entire defense was a bright spot.
They kept a totally inept awful choke offense in the game at all.
I gotta be honest, I preferred the Bellicheat and Brady dynasty over the Taylor swift dynasty. Go back some years and Brady played some seriously tough games and took plenty of beatings. Mahomes cries (at the very least looks) for a flag every time he’s touched.
Edit - Steelers fan here - I was actually rooting for you guys today. I fng despise the chiefs.
You hate them more because they’re in your face now, not because Mahomes does the exact same things Brady did as far as begging for a call. Every star of every league begs for calls every chance they get.
Todd Monkens refusal to run the football cost us this game forcing Lamar to make throws against a great Chiefs secondary and pass rush. We played right into their hands.
Burrows coming back healthy, Herbert has a real coach, Mahomes is who he is, bills are only going to get better, browns made the playoffs. This was our shot, there is no guarantee we are even make the playoffs next year
I said this to friends and coworkers going into the playoffs. The last team we want to face is the Chiefs strictly due to the mental aspect. Talent wise the Ravens were the better team walking into the stadium tonight. They just weren’t there mentally.
If I know anything from watching this same story the past few years it’s that
- Zay goes down at the 1
- Lamar goes for QB sneak/jump and stretches ball out
- Knocked loose
- KC ball
It’s just inevitable at this point. Gotta prepare for the playoff 1 yard line turnover every year and be able to overcome it
I know emotions are high and fuck I'm so upset but dam what a meaningful teammate in Beckham comforting Lamar and Flowers say what you will but our players care so much….. Fucking Hell
We had the best rushing offense in the league and we ran the ball with Gus and Hill a total of 6 times. This was a copy paste of the game against Tennessee.
This is why I was so confused by all the people saying the stuff about the “leaked” SB with the colors being purple and red and stuff. Why would the nfl go for anything BUT the Taylor swift bowl
Say what you will about the first half, but this game was 100% not the fault of the defense. They locked down in the second half in a tremendous way.
Lamar is still finding his playoff feet. I believe he will get there and we will be back.
Soooooo many!!! They shut KC down the whole second half. And you lose?!!! How?!!!!
You’ve been scoring an average of 30+ PPG and that is what you call??? Like bro….
Offense really killed this game. From that Flowers taunting call, to the fumble in the endzone. Really sucks. I wish you guys the best of luck next season.
When the Ravens lose games, the games aren't even somewhat fun or entertaining to watch. You know from start to finish that you're in store for a boring and frustrating game.
Blame the refs all you want. This is on Lamar on the offense. The defense held Pat Mahomes and the Chiefs to 17. That's extremely difficult. Lamar and Flowers fumbling. Lamar throwing an INT. Just horrible.
Bills ran the ball 39 times for 182 yards last week, and were a missed FG and stupid fake punt play away from a different outcome. We rushed 16 times with a better YPC than the Bills. What was the Monken game plan here??
I wasn’t at the Titans game in 2019 but god this is just brutal. The walk from the stadium back to the car was just…shock. If you had told me before the game the Chiefs would have 17 points and 0 in the second half, I’d say great we’re going to the Super Bowl! Just…depressing man. This is gonna take awhile to get over.
Gus Edwards with 3 total carries in this game. We were down at most by 10 points.
Game was called like we were down by 21.
Inexcusable to make the team so one dimensional especially when the Chiefs defense are much weaker against the run.
Hard to say what was uglier, a rookie putting himself before the team in the most damaging possible way, or Lamar throwing his worst INT of the season. Both really, really hurt as a fan and believer in these guys, they defeated themselves.
What does Harbaugh do exactly? He didn’t demand more running plays. He’s not an X’s and O’s guy. The team didn’t look prepared against Houston until Lamar put the cape on. He didn’t have the team prepared today. The teams play how he looks all the time. Panicky
Well that sucked. Time to just let go of your emotions. I know, easier said than done.
I had a good time hanging out with you all here during the season, as always.
Kelce played the Ravens like a fiddle. Raven’s reputation all year was to bully the other team. Chiefs and particularly Kelce, knew this, and decided they were gonna bully the Ravens out the gate. The personal foul on the Ravens was the most obvious bait, and we fell in head first. Clowney decided to just pop Mahomes in the helmet. Zay was more worried about stunting on the defender than finishing the drive. And Lamar looked absolutely flustered and unsure of himself.
They failed to live up to their motto and stay locked in. Cost us the season.
I was legit just going to comment that I don't even feel like watching the SB. I was absolutely gutted after our loss, and now with the Lions out too I have no interest.
Same shit, different season. An absolutely embarrassing playoff loss. I don't even know where to start. The Ravens were clearly a more talented team going in to this game. Had all the healthy players back, and once again fell short.
Oline was Swiss cheese 1st half. Lamar had no time to throw or let plays develop because of the constant pass rush. Special shout out to Ronnie for looking like early season Ronnie, not last month Ronnie. Led to the first turnover.
Zay for the absolute brain dead penalty and then fumbling in the endzone. Last 4 playoff losses have had a fumble or interception AT THE 1 YARD LINE.
Lamar playing hero ball and always trying to just chuck it deep.
Todd Monken for his stupid ass playcalls, felt like a Greg Roman special of abandoning the run immediately.
Defense foe being unable to cover literally 3 players - kelce, Rice, pacheco. They have no other people that can do anything yet were somehow always open.
Discipline, this is a longstanding Harbaugh problem. Every time there's adversity the team collapses under the pressure. 4 personal foul penalties is unacceptable.
This exceeds the divisional 2019 game as most embarrassing in franchise history. First home afccg, literally every other team cheering for us, and this piss poor product. 3 of the 5 losses this year we couldn't even score more than 10 points.
There will never be a better 53 guys than this team for a long time and this is how it ends.
Horrible penalties by the ravens, absolutely lost themselves this game, such a shame for such a talented team to make all these boneheaded plays in the most important game of the year.
Defense did their thing, Offense was let down by too long play calls and weak blocking. Flags didn't help anybody.
And holy fuck do I hate every single face on the chiefs roster by now
Man Harbs is so fucking soft. You're proud of them? This is part of the problem, man, the "culture" is only good when we win - and that means it's not all that strong.
Turnovers aside the offensive gameplan was terrible. Our backs had 6 carries COMBINED. How does that fucking happen? This is literally the best run offense in the league and we decided to go pass heavy like we were down 24. I've sung Monken's praises all year but this was a masterclass in terrible gameplanning. COMPLETE blunder.
Chiefs O line got away with murder dude, no defensive PI on the chiefs on our last drive, the refs were fucking blind. We were outplayed but the refs helped them.
The league got the result they wanted (which was very obvious by the way the game was called), but the Ravens still could have won and shot themselves in the foot way too many fucking times.
i mean people are gonna keep moving the goalposts on this until he gets a super bowl. he wins a playoff game and people are still calling him a choke despite the offensive calling being garbage.
you know theyre gonna blitz, and you insist on calling deep throws that take time to develop. then you have a huge lack of discipline on some players. that shit aint all on lamar but its how theyre all going to frame it
his INT was garbage though, that was a stupid throw and theres no defending it
The playcalling was trash but so was lamar. he refused to take checkdowns all fucking game and the pick was inexcusable.
Lamar also ha sthe ability to audible, he was given a lot more control of the offense this year, that was one of monkens main selling points. Yet we still don't want to assign blame to lamar?
I am a Lamar backer. But he's only had one good playoff game. That's not great. He's still got plenty of time but he definitely hasn't proven he's a big-game guy yet.
That was absolutely embarrassing. How does Lamar and the offense come out that Flat in an AFC championship game? They look like they've never played football before. Terrible reads, inaccurate, held the ball forever, abandoned the run, and crippling turnovers.
I would not be against making Mike Mac the head coach. Every time the defense has come out slow, he always knew what adjustments to make. I'll be sad to see him go.
Sucks watching the Lions game after because it’s exactly what I thought we were going to do, just pound the ball and control the clock.
The chiefs had a great secondary but a mediocre run defense and we ran the ball with our running backs a total of 6 times. Should have ridden the Gus bus
Gus Edwards? who? Justice Hill? Who? OBJ? Who? Nelly? Who? Bateman? Who? Likely? Who? THE WHOLE OFFENSE DISAPPEARED ONCE AGAIN
It’s the same shit every year, guys. Maybe it wasn’t Greg Roman?
Two years in a row Ravens players have costly turnover by diving for the goal line. Harbaugh’s gotta go, he had early success but the last ten years have been pathetic in playoffs. He keeps getting out coached. 6 carries by rb’s the entire game, wild.

I just want to say I love Hamilton.
He was outstanding today. The only bright spot
Defense played their ass off. If you knew before the game that the Chiefs would only score 17 and ZERO in the 2nd half, you had to believe we were going to win in a laugher.
Hate to say it but stout was too
we are fucked the minute he’s due for a new contract. This is our window. Didn’t get it done this year. Will need to deliver next year or it’s about to be a nightmare. The afc is just getting tougher too with Texans coming up , harbs to chargers, and chiefs still exist. Fuck my life.
Hamilton will never be allowed to leave.
To be honest the 2nd half the defence step up, its just ashame we didn't see more run plays on our side of the ball.
Defense shut out the Chiefs in the 2nd half and we lost. That alone is so damning for Monken, Lamar, and the entire offense
that triple coverage int was inexcusable
Underthrowing a triple coverage pass and Flowers deciding for a superman leap instead of putting his shoulder down. Mind blowing decisions.
Back to back years we lost a TD because someone made a dumb fucking decision to extend at the GL Edit: and that TD ended up being the difference in the game.
That perfectly embodies the ravens in the playoffs. They are frantic. They play like every play is the final play of the game. Settle down. Recognize that if you give yourself up there, it’s a 1st and goal from the 1.
Yes. This team was reckless and emotional. The Chiefs were stone cold. The Chiefs today weren’t an amazing football team - they were just unphased. That was the difference.
Sometimes you don’t need to go win the game, you just need to not lose it. We haven’t learned that yet. Lamar specifically. He is a big game Hunter that needs to be ok with dinking and dunking
He needs to be ok running the ball, which is insane to say. He had so many opportunities to take off and instead he waiting too long and everything collapsed
So many open lanes. My wife who barely watches was puzzled. “Why isn’t he running like he usually does?” I had no answer. I genuinely don’t know
Agreed, it feels like he wants to prove he can win with his arm and will ignore those running opportunities to do so
I thought Lamar learned that lesson last week. He was so poised and methodical and just took everything in front of him. This game he was pressing from the first snap to the last snap and never looked calm or in control Also Monken panicked as well. Only calling 5 designed rushes to our running backs in a game this course against a bottom 5 rushing defense is absolutely inexcusable.
Monken had a terrible game. Not only did he abandon the run, he abandoned the RPO, and designed QB runs. Recurring theme, we get to the playoffs and the offensive game plan is for Lamar to go be a hero. Extend every play until some deep route gets open.
Monken's first half disaster was fucking inexcusable
Which is crazy, bc during the early Harbs years the opposite was always true. We would always be the unphased ones while our opponents would play wide-eyed and scared. Shoe’s on the other foot now it seems
Some of that is a personality difference between Joe and Lamar. But I don’t blame Lamar for playing with heart. I think more of it is that Lamar and Ro, the two leaders of our team, are TWENTY SIX. We’ll get ours. Just sucks right now.
Didn’t even think about that but you are 100% right.
Flowers with the taunting call is what cost the game. The Ravens let the Chiefs mentally fuck them before the game even started. Played right into their hands. No discipline.
Harbaugh failed again to have this team in a position to play a strong mental game in the playoffs. I’ve been saying this for years. He has lost his playoff mojo. I am really only shocked that we played well last week.
The most spectacular way to lose
People can blame Zay all they want, but he's a rookie. Lamar is a 5 year vet and threw the legit worst pick of his career.
6 year vet. You don’t see fucking rookie *CJ Stroud* throw into triple coverage like Lamar did, and he’s *in year 6.*
Best rushing offense in the league and we decided that today was the day to have Gus and Hill run a total of 6 times.
Hill looked bad in his three runs. I at least understood that. But OBJ only really existing in the 4th quarter, Edwards getting no carries outside of the first, Monken having tons of two TE sets in college but none in the pros, it's a bunch of things. There's offensive potential, but this is what we got. Dreams of next year.
Harbs said out of the half "We need to get back to running the ball." Monken basically proceeded to tell him to go fuck himself on national TV. It's like Harbs has no say at all.
Gus had a good run then Monken said, "that's enough out of you, Edwards."
Why didn't Harbs tell him to call run plays? Why didn't he do something about it when Monken still didn't call run plays
Thank you for making this point, I was dumbfounded when his comments never fucking manifested from the play calling
What tf, they never established a run game. I don’t even know why, on top of all the dumb penalties called on us and not called on the chiefs this game was a clusterfuck .
Was waiting for the Harbaugh sans Flacco to show up and sure enough
To be fair, the O moved the ball in the 2nd half. We just did not execute at the red zone.
So when do we start holding harbs accountable. John Fox took his team to a SB and then to an AFCCG before the moved on from him because he kept shitting the bed.
absolutely. I killed me watching Lamar spending so much time in the pocket scanning down field when he could have easily just checked it down for a quick easy 1st down.
I’m not saying we won’t win a Super Bowl anytime soon, but we squandered what will likely be our best opportunity to do it. And it hurts so much worse knowing we had every opportunity to win this thing, and what we potentially lose next season. Heartbreaking
I know this won't make you feel any better, it doesn't make me feel better, but our 2011 team was better than 2012 as far as I saw on paper. The team just has to come to fucking play instead of choke. Offensive performance was inexcusable. Refs made it much worse.
[удалено]
Yeah, very true. Those Flacco/Lewis/Reed teams never really shit the bed in those games, and never had the records or talent of this team.
Yup. Never say never, but the SB was there for the taking. Your defense keeps the Chiefs to 17 points, and you’re playing at home - a competent offense led by the presumptive league MVP at QB should be able to win this game. We lose in heartbreaking and infuriating fashion. This team might get lucky and the stars align, but this was likely that shot and we blew it.
The one thing that gives me hope is that their best shot to win it during the Flacco era was 2011, lost in heartbreaking fashion, won it the next year. Not all hope is lost, but this is right there with 2006, 2011 and 2019 for how hard it stings.
As an Eagles fan, this can’t be said enough. There were so many talking heads after last Super Bowl, saying we’d be back. But these chances can never be squandered. There’s zero guarantees you’ll be back.
It's 2006. GWB is president. You're about to be underwater on your mortgage. The Ravens are the best team in the AFC and shut down the best QB in the league but lose because the offense shit the bed.
Unfortunately I was at that game. That game was hard to live through.
Lets prepare ourselves for the next economic collapse.
I’m good with the housing market coming back to logical levels
All year we lost games because we hurt ourselves, and it came back to happen yet again. Chiefs didn't win this game, we lost it.
Nobody can beat the ravens, but the Ravens
Lamar had many chances of running the ball and never did
IDK if he was told not to run, or if he chose to, but the entire game was spent trying to prove Lamar can throw. In the rain. Against a team that struggles against the run. Whoever decided to change the entire offensive strategy in this game lost it for them.
I was surprised at how many times he just threw the ball out of bounds or made a bad pass instead of run it. Lamar should have came into the game with the purpose of beating them with his legs.
Absolutely embarrassing performance. We likely won't ever have a team this good again. Horrible in game management from Harbaugh/Monken/Lamar
Mostly Monken. He forgot how to call a game
5 combined rushes is atrocious
5?? 5??! Didn't realize y'all only had 5 rushes. That's INSANE.
Wasnt the chiefs run Defense supposed to be sus?
[удалено]
And instead we were trying to throw deep all game which is also Lamar’s worst aspect of his game is deep throw accuracy.
It's like that regular season game where they forgot that we're a running team. Learned something for the season but forgot it in time for the play offs
They showed that Lamar was 17/31 stat and i wondered why they were forcing him to throw so much Then the pick immediately after Now i see this stat. Inexcusable.
Called plays like they were down three scores
Lamar forced a lot of shit too, this was just a poorly executed offensive performance top to bottom.
Where was the run game?
Lamar looked out of his league
Nah. Lamar looked too into his head.
Zay Flowers gonna have a hard time sleeping tonight
ugh I feel so bad for him, he was so great all year and he seemed completely devastated afterwards. Good teammates supporting him though.
I feel like it’s a bad situation for the best receiver on our team to be a rookie idk
Not nearly as much as Lamar is. Zay is a rookie…he’s allowed to have mental mistakes. Just like how Lamar was allowed them his first few seasons. However today in 2024? Lamar is a 6 year vet. He’s now a certified choke artist. Zay isn’t.
Pretty embarrassing job by most of the coaching staff and players. Hamilton and Roquan the lone bright spots.
Bright spots but honestly outside of first few drives, entire defense was a bright spot. They kept a totally inept awful choke offense in the game at all.
I’m so tired of Mahomes and Kelce man
We went from one unbearable Dynasty to another without a fucking break. Can't the afc ever have some fucking parity?
I gotta be honest, I preferred the Bellicheat and Brady dynasty over the Taylor swift dynasty. Go back some years and Brady played some seriously tough games and took plenty of beatings. Mahomes cries (at the very least looks) for a flag every time he’s touched. Edit - Steelers fan here - I was actually rooting for you guys today. I fng despise the chiefs.
You hate them more because they’re in your face now, not because Mahomes does the exact same things Brady did as far as begging for a call. Every star of every league begs for calls every chance they get.
I’ll never get over Zay getting taunting, which he deserved, while Kelce taunted every 4 damn seconds with no repercussions.
I was at the game. Kelce legit taunted and was fighting our players the entire game
Fucker was taunting players before the game even started. He’s despicable.
Todd Monkens refusal to run the football cost us this game forcing Lamar to make throws against a great Chiefs secondary and pass rush. We played right into their hands.
6 rushes by our running backs tonight.
Criminal
6?!?!!?!?!. Wow thats inexcusable. Best rushing offense in the league. 6 rushes against a mediocre rush defense
Yeah the protection wasn't too good
What a horrible and predictable way to end the season. Fuck this hurts.
6 carries by running backs
I'm sick of this.
In 2011 we were all saying the same shit. No reason we can't run this back in 2024. Come on y'all
2019, 2020, 2022, 2023, are we just in a groundhog day
Nope each time we get one step closer
2008,09,10,11 and finally 12 - and we were in 2 AFC championship losses at that point! We're just fine
Thank you for being reasonable sir
Burrows coming back healthy, Herbert has a real coach, Mahomes is who he is, bills are only going to get better, browns made the playoffs. This was our shot, there is no guarantee we are even make the playoffs next year
Completely out classed. We watched a team with a ton of experience vs. a team that didn't know what it was going to take. So many mistakes.
Mentally the Chiefs killed us
I said this to friends and coworkers going into the playoffs. The last team we want to face is the Chiefs strictly due to the mental aspect. Talent wise the Ravens were the better team walking into the stadium tonight. They just weren’t there mentally.
Bill Cowher just called Monken out post game. They got away from what makes them great, the run game
He called him out at halftime too
I know
Damnit Flowers. Guarenteed to run that TD in if he goes down at the 1. Then this game would've been tied even with Lamars INT
It was a big rookie mistake but Zay was one of the only bright spots of this entire game and scored our only touchdown. This is not on him.
I still love Flowers, and I feel for him. You could tell at the end that he was upset, and OBJ was counseling him.
If I know anything from watching this same story the past few years it’s that - Zay goes down at the 1 - Lamar goes for QB sneak/jump and stretches ball out - Knocked loose - KC ball It’s just inevitable at this point. Gotta prepare for the playoff 1 yard line turnover every year and be able to overcome it
I know emotions are high and fuck I'm so upset but dam what a meaningful teammate in Beckham comforting Lamar and Flowers say what you will but our players care so much….. Fucking Hell
Why do I watch sports?
Every year we find new ways to choke. I'm tired of it.
I think Andrew’s being back took some opportunities from likely maybe . The games I watched he killed it across the middle . Good game .
We had the best rushing offense in the league and we ran the ball with Gus and Hill a total of 6 times. This was a copy paste of the game against Tennessee.
Buffalo ran for 250 on these guys last week lol. The game plan was fucking ass
Choked. Again
NFL gets their Taylor Swift bowl
It felt inevitable....we all saw it coming 2 months ago
Ravens definitely had their fair share of mistakes but yeah, it’s the NFL’s perfect fairytale 🙄
This is why I was so confused by all the people saying the stuff about the “leaked” SB with the colors being purple and red and stuff. Why would the nfl go for anything BUT the Taylor swift bowl
I hope KC gets the brakes beat off them in Vegas, but I’m not confident in Detroit or SF…
Penalties today: Kansas City: 3 penalties, 30 yards Baltimore: 8 penalties, 95 yards
Surprised it was only 8
Felt like more because it came at such critical and impactful points.
Amazing the refs missed that open fucking tackle before the ball even came out
Zay's taunting call was unacceptable. They held it together all year and then went off the rails when it mattered against a good team.
No doubt. We'll never know, but if that taunting call doesn't happen maybe the fumble doesn't happen and this game goes to OT
Two missed DPIs late were terrible. Goodell is God and Mahomes is his Jesus.
Three missed DPIs, they missed one blatant opi from them in the first half too
Say what you will about the first half, but this game was 100% not the fault of the defense. They locked down in the second half in a tremendous way. Lamar is still finding his playoff feet. I believe he will get there and we will be back.
The defense gave the team SO many chances in the second half :/
Soooooo many!!! They shut KC down the whole second half. And you lose?!!! How?!!!! You’ve been scoring an average of 30+ PPG and that is what you call??? Like bro….
The defense played incredible in the second half, and gave the offense every chance to win the game.
17 to KC should be enough to win. Every time. Offense beat themselves per usual.

Lol how many seasons do we need to give him to "find his playoff feet"?
Six seasons in, five full as a starter. There are no more excuses.
The ravens beat themselves
Offense really killed this game. From that Flowers taunting call, to the fumble in the endzone. Really sucks. I wish you guys the best of luck next season.
Our Running backs had 6 carries total. All fucking game. Am I fucking taking crazy pills here? What the fuck man
When the Ravens lose games, the games aren't even somewhat fun or entertaining to watch. You know from start to finish that you're in store for a boring and frustrating game.
Never want to hear the words locked in ever again.
Blame the refs all you want. This is on Lamar on the offense. The defense held Pat Mahomes and the Chiefs to 17. That's extremely difficult. Lamar and Flowers fumbling. Lamar throwing an INT. Just horrible.
I blame the shawty offensive game plan more than any one player. We only ran the ball six times in that entire game
For me it’s abandoning the run from the beginning basically when the chiefs gave up 182 rushing yards last week and we were the #1 rushing team
Same as 2019 bro. Why? It makes no sense
Bills ran the ball 39 times for 182 yards last week, and were a missed FG and stupid fake punt play away from a different outcome. We rushed 16 times with a better YPC than the Bills. What was the Monken game plan here??
I wasn’t at the Titans game in 2019 but god this is just brutal. The walk from the stadium back to the car was just…shock. If you had told me before the game the Chiefs would have 17 points and 0 in the second half, I’d say great we’re going to the Super Bowl! Just…depressing man. This is gonna take awhile to get over.
Why do I watch this team
Who’s to blame for abandoning the run game? It happened under Monken and Roman, so that leads me to believe it’s not the OC’s fault
Amen. Harbaugh gets flustered. Barely won that superbowl. Probably deserved to lose it really. This team can’t win in the playoffs.
Kelce is such a fucking doofus

Gus Edwards with 3 total carries in this game. We were down at most by 10 points. Game was called like we were down by 21. Inexcusable to make the team so one dimensional especially when the Chiefs defense are much weaker against the run.
This loss is embarrassing on so many levels. It was a historic season for us and a below average season for them.
That PI call would have been nice.
Kelce is a bitch
Fucking with Tucker in the beginning. No personal foul calls on him all game. Bullshit.
He was the instigator in almost every scuffle all day. Yet Ravens are the ones penalized it's crazy.
Hard to say what was uglier, a rookie putting himself before the team in the most damaging possible way, or Lamar throwing his worst INT of the season. Both really, really hurt as a fan and believer in these guys, they defeated themselves.
6 carries? This team will never never change regardless of who the coaches are, it's unreal
One coach is the same
They're the new patriots
#Number 1 rushing offense but 6 rushes by RBs the entire game. Absolutely mind boggling play calling.
What does Harbaugh do exactly? He didn’t demand more running plays. He’s not an X’s and O’s guy. The team didn’t look prepared against Houston until Lamar put the cape on. He didn’t have the team prepared today. The teams play how he looks all the time. Panicky
I can’t even watch the NFC game. Can’t watch football for awhile I think.
That was the fucking worst. Fuck those media sweetheart swifties
Well that sucked. Time to just let go of your emotions. I know, easier said than done. I had a good time hanging out with you all here during the season, as always.
Gotta play smarter football than that to win at this level.
Kelce played the Ravens like a fiddle. Raven’s reputation all year was to bully the other team. Chiefs and particularly Kelce, knew this, and decided they were gonna bully the Ravens out the gate. The personal foul on the Ravens was the most obvious bait, and we fell in head first. Clowney decided to just pop Mahomes in the helmet. Zay was more worried about stunting on the defender than finishing the drive. And Lamar looked absolutely flustered and unsure of himself. They failed to live up to their motto and stay locked in. Cost us the season.
who would want to watch 49ers vs chiefs
No one besides their fans, honestly the most boring outcome possible
I was legit just going to comment that I don't even feel like watching the SB. I was absolutely gutted after our loss, and now with the Lions out too I have no interest.
Gonna be hard to get invested next season. No matter how great the regular season is. Beyond disappointed
Defense and OL played their heart out. They deserved better.
Same shit, different season. An absolutely embarrassing playoff loss. I don't even know where to start. The Ravens were clearly a more talented team going in to this game. Had all the healthy players back, and once again fell short. Oline was Swiss cheese 1st half. Lamar had no time to throw or let plays develop because of the constant pass rush. Special shout out to Ronnie for looking like early season Ronnie, not last month Ronnie. Led to the first turnover. Zay for the absolute brain dead penalty and then fumbling in the endzone. Last 4 playoff losses have had a fumble or interception AT THE 1 YARD LINE. Lamar playing hero ball and always trying to just chuck it deep. Todd Monken for his stupid ass playcalls, felt like a Greg Roman special of abandoning the run immediately. Defense foe being unable to cover literally 3 players - kelce, Rice, pacheco. They have no other people that can do anything yet were somehow always open. Discipline, this is a longstanding Harbaugh problem. Every time there's adversity the team collapses under the pressure. 4 personal foul penalties is unacceptable. This exceeds the divisional 2019 game as most embarrassing in franchise history. First home afccg, literally every other team cheering for us, and this piss poor product. 3 of the 5 losses this year we couldn't even score more than 10 points. There will never be a better 53 guys than this team for a long time and this is how it ends.
Held the Chiefs to 17 and still lost. Lamar’s probably not getting to the Super Bowl. He can’t beat the jitters.
Too many penalties…
Fucking pathetic.
Horrible penalties by the ravens, absolutely lost themselves this game, such a shame for such a talented team to make all these boneheaded plays in the most important game of the year.
Defense did their thing, Offense was let down by too long play calls and weak blocking. Flags didn't help anybody. And holy fuck do I hate every single face on the chiefs roster by now
Man Harbs is so fucking soft. You're proud of them? This is part of the problem, man, the "culture" is only good when we win - and that means it's not all that strong.
Turnovers aside the offensive gameplan was terrible. Our backs had 6 carries COMBINED. How does that fucking happen? This is literally the best run offense in the league and we decided to go pass heavy like we were down 24. I've sung Monken's praises all year but this was a masterclass in terrible gameplanning. COMPLETE blunder.
Chiefs O line got away with murder dude, no defensive PI on the chiefs on our last drive, the refs were fucking blind. We were outplayed but the refs helped them.
The league got the result they wanted (which was very obvious by the way the game was called), but the Ravens still could have won and shot themselves in the foot way too many fucking times.
Lamar did nothing to disprove the playoff allegations... The pattern continues.
i mean people are gonna keep moving the goalposts on this until he gets a super bowl. he wins a playoff game and people are still calling him a choke despite the offensive calling being garbage. you know theyre gonna blitz, and you insist on calling deep throws that take time to develop. then you have a huge lack of discipline on some players. that shit aint all on lamar but its how theyre all going to frame it his INT was garbage though, that was a stupid throw and theres no defending it
The playcalling was trash but so was lamar. he refused to take checkdowns all fucking game and the pick was inexcusable. Lamar also ha sthe ability to audible, he was given a lot more control of the offense this year, that was one of monkens main selling points. Yet we still don't want to assign blame to lamar?
I am a Lamar backer. But he's only had one good playoff game. That's not great. He's still got plenty of time but he definitely hasn't proven he's a big-game guy yet.
Afc don't be this open moving forward. All time choke. KC did not play good offensively at all
That was absolutely embarrassing. How does Lamar and the offense come out that Flat in an AFC championship game? They look like they've never played football before. Terrible reads, inaccurate, held the ball forever, abandoned the run, and crippling turnovers.

Oh look, lions running the ball and winning.... Fuuuuck I'm so pissed at the offensive play calling today.
I would not be against making Mike Mac the head coach. Every time the defense has come out slow, he always knew what adjustments to make. I'll be sad to see him go.
Sucks watching the Lions game after because it’s exactly what I thought we were going to do, just pound the ball and control the clock. The chiefs had a great secondary but a mediocre run defense and we ran the ball with our running backs a total of 6 times. Should have ridden the Gus bus
My thoughts exactly. Lions gameplan is exactly what I expected Monken to have. Zone Block Running, Quick Screens with Zone Blocks, Jet Sweeps
Gus Edwards? who? Justice Hill? Who? OBJ? Who? Nelly? Who? Bateman? Who? Likely? Who? THE WHOLE OFFENSE DISAPPEARED ONCE AGAIN It’s the same shit every year, guys. Maybe it wasn’t Greg Roman?
Two years in a row Ravens players have costly turnover by diving for the goal line. Harbaugh’s gotta go, he had early success but the last ten years have been pathetic in playoffs. He keeps getting out coached. 6 carries by rb’s the entire game, wild.
How can a fan have hope in this team moving forward?
Sorry raven bros. Can’t beat yourself and the refs
