Speaker 1 (00:00):
Baltimore Ravens. Contenders are pretenders. It's the same aspect with
the Buffalo Bills. Can they make the AFC Championship Game.
As of right now, guys, the Baltimore Rams are playing
some of their best football to date. They have finally
locked in their playoff spot and as of right now,
they're at the third seed. If they continue their winning
(00:21):
ways and the Pittsburgh Wis continue their losing ways, they
will all but lock up that third overall seed. They can, however,
jump up into the second seed if they went out
and the Buffalo Bills do lose one more game this season,
but more likely will probably be the third seed. They
are very, very battle tested as well. The Baltimore Rams
are six and three versus playoff teams so far this season,
(00:43):
so almost half of their games, actually over half of
their games have been against playoff teams so far this season.
When you look at their offense, they have one of
the best offenses in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Hands down.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
The offense has been non stop right first overall offense
averaging four hundred and twenty four point two yards per game,
fourth and passing averaging two hundred and thirty eight point
six yards per game, second in rushing averaging one hundred
and eighty five point six rushing yards per game, third
and scoring given up or scoring thirty point two points
per game, and first in red zone scoring scoring get
(01:18):
a touchdown rate of seventy four point two percent. That
is mind blowing because when you just when you look
at the Buffalo Bills, they're at sixty eight percent, and
then the Baltimore Rams are damn near eight percent better
at seventy damn near seventy five percent. Their offense is NonStop.
They're the most powerful offensive team I've seen in the very,
(01:39):
very long time. Their defense has been their achilles heel
all season a long. Let's just be flat out, flat
and honest. But they are improving. Let's not get a
twisted They are improving. They are the fourteenth ranked oral
offense as of right now heading into week seventeen. They're
giving up three hundred and seventy point one yards per
game twenty ninth, then pass out giving up two hundred
(01:59):
and forty eight point five yards per game, first and
rushing go only giving up eighty one point six. But
that is skewed because they jump up such a early
like early lead and teams have to pass two catch up.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
But I digressed.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
They're still first in rushing eleven the scoring defens, only
giving up twenty one point nine points per game, and
thirteenth in red zone efficiency at fifty four point two percent. Guys,
the Baltimore Ravens are a team that's been hot, and
they've been cold, and they've been hot.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Right.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
The Baltimore Ravens are a team that needed the buye
week in a very very bad way. Luckily for them,
they got the last bye week of the season and
since then they have been on three game winning streak.
They've beaten the Giants thirty four to fourteen, They've beaten
the Pittsburgh Steelers thirty four to seventeen, and then we
just saw them beat the Houston Texans thirty one to two,
(02:49):
a SmackDown of the Houston Texans, and they have won
for their last five, including a win versus the Charge
on Money Night Football thirty to twenty three.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
And they turned around.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
They lost to the Eagles twenty four to nine nineteen
before going on to their bye week. Since the bye week, though,
the Devas has been playing top notch. They've only given
up seventeen points most in those last three weeks, They've
only given one hundred and eighty five yards passing versus Houston,
two hundred and seventeen passing yards versus Pittsburgh, and one
hundred and twenty three yards passing versus New York for
(03:19):
the Football Giants, So that twenty ninth passing defense. Yes,
it's bad, but they've been pretty good in the last
three weeks. So, guys, are the Baltimore Raves. Are they
cut tenders or are they pretenders? Can they make it
to the AFT Championship Game? And I think, guys, they
are pretenders. I think they are pretenders. I don't think
(03:41):
they might. They may not even make it out of
the first round. To be one honest, if the Pittsburgh
Steelers continued their losing ways, we might see the Baltimore
Rams and the Pittsburgheelers play in the first round. And
I don't think that the Pittsburgh Steelers or sorry, I
don't think the Baltimore Ravens are ready for the Pittsburgh
Steelers and the in the playoffs. I just don't think so.
(04:03):
I think the Baltimore Ravens are a good team. They
can probably beat the Chargers they can probably beat the Broncos.
They can probably beat the Colt or Dolphins that they
somehow slide ben and to the playoffs. But I do
not see them beating the Buffalo Bills. I do not
see them beating the Buffalo Bills at all in the
divisional round. It just it is, it is, It is
what it is. Super Bowl or sorry, MVP man himself,
(04:26):
Josh Allen is just so much better than the rest
of the Baltimore Ravens team that defense would get exposed.
I think the Baltimore Ravens are one hundred percent pretenders
and they're not making the AC Championship Ship Game. But
guys in the comments below, let me know, do you
think that the Baltimore Ravens. Are they contenders or are
they pretenders? Mister McNugget says, protect the North skull Vikings.
(04:49):
There's no North to protect the Lions on the North.
Mister mcnuggett. Alpha Robb says, no, they will come to Buffalo.
Jackson will do what he does best in the playoffs,
and that is choked. And Alpha rob you are one
hundred percent correct, and and my narrative the last three
seasons is Lamar Jackson does choke does not play his best.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Football in the month of January. It is right.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
And last year they're like, oh, he made the AFC
Championship game.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
He won one game. He won one game.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Josh Allen has yet has yet to win two games
in the playoffs back to back. He has not done it.
He probably won't do it. It's just the mo The
AFC is pretty loaded. Let's just be honest with the Steelers,
the Ravens, the Bills, and the like in the Chiefs,
(05:44):
the Chargers and Broncos are are They're not ready to
be slept on, but they're just not ready yet. The
Ravens are pretenders, guys. They are pretenders. They're not beating
the Buffalo Bills, and they're going to struggle in the
first first especially if they have to play the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
They probably won't, but if they do.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Josh also says they're definitely contenders and the power running team.
And Josh, they are a power running team when they're up,
when they're up ten, twelve, fourteen to fifteen points, they
like to give the ball to Derrick Henry until the
fourth quarter. They like to use and abuse Derrick Henry
(06:29):
until the fourth quarter. In all of their losses so
far this season, they've given the ball to Derrick Henry
a total of five times in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
That is tough.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Now, I know coach Harball is saying, oh, we don't
want to use them up b for the playoffs. We
don't want to do this, this and this whatever. Stop it,
stop it. You paid the man, use them and abuse him.
I'm made a Facebook post saying that Derrick Henry is
sequel handedly carrying the Baltimore Ravens, which he was back
in the first quarter. Yes, Lamar Jackson took the game
(07:02):
over in the second, third, and fourth quarter, but that
first quarter was all Dereck Henry. Let's just be honest
Derrick Henry. I'm not saying he's gonna get tired. I'm
not saying there's a cliff. But Father Time is undefeated
and running back round. Matter of fact, Father Time is
undefeated versus everybody. I'm not saying it's this season. I'm
(07:26):
not saying this next week. I'm not saying it's it
is in.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
It is in. It is in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
But since Joe Flacco and Hardball's last Super Bowl, Hardball
cannot get out of his way. And in the playoffs,
that's just what it is. Their whole play calling changes
in the playoffs last year versus the KNCA Chiefs. They
should have beat the CANCA Chiefs in the sc Championship
Ship game, no question about it. They should have beat
(07:54):
THEKNCA Chiefs. But when you throw for forty five times
in a game, you rush for eight, that is not
a disease. That is not a recipe to win games.
And if you do that against the Buffalo Bills, you
are going to lose a shootout. I am telling you
you're going to lose a shootout. You are twenty ninth
in past defense. Josh Allen will cut that secondary up
(08:16):
like sliced brother. He's he's, he is gonna get that
butterknife hot is gonna slice through the butter boom boomble,
it's it's it's gonna be terrible to watch. Great if
you're a Buffalo Bill Bills fan. Terrible if you're anybody
else's fan, like man like man. I don't want to
see Josh Allen do do that. But Casey says their
(08:38):
pretenders they don't have a postseason formula two and four. Yes,
Lamar Jackson is too and four in the playoffs. Wrap
your head around that, guys. The two time potentially three
times league MVP has two playoff wins. Two playoff wins
(09:00):
as simple as that. It's two playoff wins. And like
Alpha Robbs says, the Texans are done. I don't care
who they play in the wild card. We'll talk about
the Texas next. Josh says, you are trolling if you
think the Ravens are pretenders. No, I'm just speaking the
way I see it. I've I live in Louisville. I
see Lamar Jackson play in cold. He doesn't like the cold.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
It just is what it is. And Nato says the
Ravens are pretenders. I agree.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Every year they make a quick exit and the playoffs
they can win one game, that's about it. And Kate
says that Steelers suck. Steelers are not playing good football
right now, you are correct, Alpha Robb says, teams are
going to make Jackson beat them, stop Henry and get
the lead, and Jackson will do. Jackson thanks. What you
(09:47):
want to do is make Lamar Jackson nickel and dim
you down the field. He gets tired of it, and
it is what it is. Locally hated off Road says,
not this year, babies, the Ravens aren't the same team.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
They are the same team. I don't care if you added.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Derrick Henry, Shai Kwan Barkley and the best offensive line
in the league. You still have Lamar Jackson, you still
have hardball as your head coach. You still have the
stigma of you cannot win two playoff games.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
It just is.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
It is what it is. And Anthony James says, clickbait title.
It was not a clickbait title. It was not We
talked about the Minnesota Vikings an hour and a half ago,
So go click bait somewhere else.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Anthony, it is what it is.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Jay fine, And then I says Packers fans gonna be
quiet when they lose on Sunday. Jefferson Addison Hawkins's gonna
dice up y'all. Secondary. I don't think the Packers really
care there, Bud. We already talked about the Vikings and
Packers both times. Josh Olton says, but they didn't have
Henry last season. That is the difference. No, it's not
the difference. Derrick Henry is not the end all be all. Yes,
(10:56):
Derrick Henry is the reason why the Baltimore Ravens are
a what.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Ten win team right right now? Is is that is that?
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Is that where they're at eleven wins. I'm sorry, Derrick
Henry is the reason why they're a eleven win team.
But last season they had a three headed monster in
that backfield. Keaton Mitchell was a dog right hell, they
still had Gus Edwards JK.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Dobbins may have been healthy into the playoffs. I don't
don't remember.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
They recycle, they cycle through Ruyan running back so fast
the last two seasons. I don't know who was in
like who was out. But they were just fine. They
were just fine. The reason why they lost was because
Lamar Jackson threw it forty six times.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
That's just it. That's just it.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
It's gonna happen again against the Buffalo Bills. Josh, you
are going to see the Buffalo Bill's defense has the
twenty fifth pass ranked defense. Right, give me up two
twenty nine point five yards per game. Lamar's like, ha
ha ha, let me eat like no, no, no, not not
not so fast, not so fast. Alpha Rob says. Ravens
(12:02):
fans have been talking this bs for years exactly exactly,
and Alpha Rob says, what's up with these Vikings fans? Listen,
they when your team wins, the fans come out of
the work.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Work baby. That's just the way it is now. If
the Vikings were seven to ten em, it's Sam Brown's fault.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
It says bro. Don't be hating on on on the Vikings.
I'm not hating on the Vikings. I'm speaking facts. The
facts are you played four good teams.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
I just it is what it is.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Casey says Henry won't be able to carry them into
the playoffs. If he could, he would have a ring
already before joining the Ravens. Yes and no, Casey. The
Tennessee Titans, I believe the one year that they legitimately
had a shot at going deep into the playoffs, they
ran too the buzz all the and the Canta Chiefs.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Right.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
The Titans were never really built to win a Super Bowl.
Their defense wasn't great. They had Derek Derrick Henry a
subpar offense. But let's just say that they weren't They weren't.
They weren't very good. Jay Fine and I says, didn't
Lebron say the Races were going to the Super Bowl.
The Ravens. I don't I don't know. I don't follow
(13:24):
Lebron Jane, I don't follow NBA at all. Freddi Edis says,
let's shut up. Who's your favorite team? My favorite teams?
I can't see the Chiefs. I don't think that matters
who your favorite team is. The facts are that the
Vikings are overrated. The Vikings are fugazi. Look at Lamar's
stats from last season to this year. He's breaking records.
Nobody thought he could be broken. Lamar is not the
(13:45):
same this season. Listen, stats lie to you. It's as
simple as that. I don't care if Lamar Jackson is
putting up five hundred yards per game. It doesn't matter.
What matters is January and February. What matters is is
Lamar Jackson and coach Harball and the rest of the
Baltimore Ravens cannot win back to back playoff game since
(14:07):
their Super Bowl run. As simple as that, we saw
it last year. Everything was in place for them to
make it to the super Bowl. Home field advantage, the
Kansay sheets we see in course sucked. The defense was
was was playing lights out right. Let's not let's not
get let's not get that twisted and you were playing
good football championship game, you change everything.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
That you do. That is that.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
That is Lamar Jackson and hardball shitting the bed. It's
just it is what it is. The facts are facts.
The facts are the facts. Alpha Rob says, Jackson is
the same as last season, couldn't break Kansas City last
year on or this year exactly.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Max says overrated, how especially with expectations, Lamar Jackson is overrated.
Lamar Jackson is overrated because you fans Max Lamar NFL
eight Freddy edits you guys put Lamar Jackson up on
this pedestal and he he can't consistently reach that pedestal. Right,
(15:19):
And it gets even better because when Lamar Jackson wins,
it's all Lamar Jackson. Lamar Jackson did this, this and this.
He's the greatest thing ever. But when he loses, my man,
Wayne g says the best. Oh, he doesn't have a
number one, doesn't have a number one receiver. The running
game suck. Coaching gets the issue. The defense is twenty
eighth in the NFL. It's always excuses. That is why
(15:43):
people hate the Baltimore Ravens. Hell, that is why the
people hate in the Minnesota Vikings. Hell, that is the
reason why people hate a lot of other teams in
the in the NFL, because when your team loses, you
have excuse, excuse, excuse, excuse, not just like, hey, maybe
we just suck today, Maybe just maybe we did not
play our best football today. When the CANCA Chiefs lost
(16:06):
to the Buffalo Bills, I came out here and I said,
the Buffalo Bills outplayed the KNCA Chiefs from start to finish.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
They dominated him.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
When have you ever heard of Baltimore Ravens fans say
say that, Yeah, the canc Chiefs just outplayed us. Yeah,
this is the Yeah, the Pittsburgh Seeders just outplayed us.
You don't you have excuses? Oh, we don't have a
number one receiver, King Henry was hurt, the the defense sucks. Whatever,
it's excuses, it's excuses. Just stop it. Lamar NFL eight
(16:38):
And it says, of course, because you're saying that because
the Vikings are are not good, because you're a Chiefs fan,
My fandom has nothing to do with with with my opinion.
My fandom has nothing to do with my opinion. I'm
the most unbiased. I've actually been down on the CANCA
Chiefs all season. Low my fandom has nothing to do
with it. And Freddy Eddis says, the Chiefs are blank
(17:00):
the rest of here we go, Here we go. We've
been waiting for this, Freddy Edits, Let's give this matter
rout of applause. The CANC Chiefs are winning because of
the referees.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Here.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Let me let let me put that scant there there
for you. The referees called the wrong play. Mahomes of
the INCA. We passy plays a lot of scrimmage. See
that clearly behind the line of scrimmage? Are Freddy Edits?
Come on, man, you're better than that. Not overrated at all?
He is overrated.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Oh, the Chiefs are overrated. How are the Chiefs over
over rated? They've been dominated one game this season. They
lost that one game this season. Hopefully we can get
revenge of that in the AC Championship Chip Chip Game.
I'm just saying.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Casey Morgan says, every AC team knows how to beat
the Raids in the playoffs. Take out the run, forced
Lamar to mar to pass. Actually, Casey, let me take
you one step further. Take away the run. Yes, Force
Lamar to pass. Yes, force Lamar, don Nicol and Diamond
down the field because he can't throw medium meeting medium passes. Actually,
(18:15):
uh re re re repettively until the next time, said
the Ravens lost. The Ravens lost to the Raiders this season.
You are right, you are right, and says, oh, you're
a Taylor Swift Swift Swist Swifts fan.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
I like so, I like a little I like a
little bit of taite.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
I'm not for sure what the has to have to
do with do with anything, and Alfa Rob says another
excuse Tucker missing field goals.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
It's justin Tucker's fault that we now that we uh
that we lost those games.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Right. Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Josh Olsen says, what do you think if what what
will you say if then, if the Ravens make it
to the Super Bowl this season, some of you will
have to eat your words, say if the Ravens make
the Super Bowl this season. They finally got over that
got over that hump. Lamar Jackson finally stopped pissing down
his leg during the postseason. Coach Harball finally stuck to
(19:12):
what has been successful in the regular season and the
Chiefs win because of Taylor Swift. Oh here we go,
and Freddy says, you look like an off brand Travis kelcey. Okay, whatever,
But guys, are the Baltimore Raves are they contenders or
(19:33):
are they pretenders? AC Championship Game. I am saying they
are pretenders. They are not going to make the AFC
Championship Game this season.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Next up,
Baltimore Ravens. Contenders are pretenders. It's the same aspect with
the Buffalo Bills. Can they make the AFC Championship Game.
As of right now, guys, the Baltimore Rams are playing
some of their best football to date. They have finally
locked in their playoff spot and as of right now,
they're at the third seed. If they continue their winning
(00:21):
ways and the Pittsburgh Wis continue their losing ways, they
will all but lock up that third overall seed. They can, however,
jump up into the second seed if they went out
and the Buffalo Bills do lose one more game this season,
but more likely will probably be the third seed. They
are very, very battle tested as well. The Baltimore Rams
are six and three versus playoff teams so far this season,

Speaker 2 (06:03):
They probably won't, but if they do.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Josh also says they're definitely contenders and the power running team.
And Josh, they are a power running team when they're up,
when they're up ten, twelve, fourteen to fifteen points, they
like to give the ball to Derrick Henry until the

undefeated versus everybody. I'm not saying it's this season. I'm
(07:26):
not saying this next week. I'm not saying it's it
is in.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
It is in. It is in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
But since Joe Flacco and Hardball's last Super Bowl, Hardball
cannot get out of his way. And in the playoffs,
that's just what it is. Their whole play calling changes
in the playoffs last year versus the KNCA Chiefs. They
should have beat the CANCA Chiefs in the sc Championship
Ship game, no question about it. They should have beat
(07:54):
THEKNCA Chiefs. But when you throw for forty five times
in a game, you rush for eight, that is not
a disease. That is not a recipe to win games.
And if you do that against the Buffalo Bills, you
are going to lose a shootout. I am telling you
you're going to lose a shootout. You are twenty ninth
in past defense. Josh Allen will cut that secondary up
(08:16):
like sliced brother. He's he's, he is gonna get that
butterknife hot is gonna slice through the butter boom boomble,
it's it's it's gonna be terrible to watch. Great if
you're a Buffalo Bill Bills fan. Terrible if you're anybody
else's fan, like man like man. I don't want to
see Josh Allen do do that. But Casey says their
(08:38):
pretenders they don't have a postseason formula two and four. Yes,
Lamar Jackson is too and four in the playoffs. Wrap
your head around that, guys. The two time potentially three
times league MVP has two playoff wins. Two playoff wins
(09:00):
as simple as that. It's two playoff wins. And like
Alpha Robbs says, the Texans are done. I don't care
who they play in the wild card. We'll talk about
the Texas next. Josh says, you are trolling if you
think the Ravens are pretenders. No, I'm just speaking the
way I see it. I've I live in Louisville. I
see Lamar Jackson play in cold. He doesn't like the cold.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
It just is what it is. And Nato says the
Ravens are pretenders. I agree.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Every year they make a quick exit and the playoffs
they can win one game, that's about it. And Kate
says that Steelers suck. Steelers are not playing good football
right now, you are correct, Alpha Robb says, teams are
going to make Jackson beat them, stop Henry and get
the lead, and Jackson will do. Jackson thanks. What you
(09:47):
want to do is make Lamar Jackson nickel and dim
you down the field. He gets tired of it, and
it is what it is. Locally hated off Road says,
not this year, babies, the Ravens aren't the same team.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
They are the same team. I don't care if you added.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Derrick Henry, Shai Kwan Barkley and the best offensive line
in the league. You still have Lamar Jackson, you still
have hardball as your head coach. You still have the
stigma of you cannot win two playoff games.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
It just is.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
It is what it is. And Anthony James says, clickbait title.
It was not a clickbait title. It was not We
talked about the Minnesota Vikings an hour and a half ago,
So go click bait somewhere else.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Anthony, it is what it is.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Jay fine, And then I says Packers fans gonna be
quiet when they lose on Sunday. Jefferson Addison Hawkins's gonna
dice up y'all. Secondary. I don't think the Packers really
care there, Bud. We already talked about the Vikings and
Packers both times. Josh Olton says, but they didn't have
Henry last season. That is the difference. No, it's not
the difference. Derrick Henry is not the end all be all. Yes,
(10:56):
Derrick Henry is the reason why the Baltimore Ravens are
a what.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Ten win team right right now? Is is that is that?
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Is that where they're at eleven wins. I'm sorry, Derrick
Henry is the reason why they're a eleven win team.
But last season they had a three headed monster in
that backfield. Keaton Mitchell was a dog right hell, they
still had Gus Edwards JK.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Dobbins may have been healthy into the playoffs. I don't
don't remember.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
They recycle, they cycle through Ruyan running back so fast
the last two seasons. I don't know who was in
like who was out. But they were just fine. They
were just fine. The reason why they lost was because
Lamar Jackson threw it forty six times.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
That's just it. That's just it.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
It's gonna happen again against the Buffalo Bills. Josh, you
are going to see the Buffalo Bill's defense has the
twenty fifth pass ranked defense. Right, give me up two
twenty nine point five yards per game. Lamar's like, ha
ha ha, let me eat like no, no, no, not not
not so fast, not so fast. Alpha Rob says. Ravens
(12:02):
fans have been talking this bs for years exactly exactly,
and Alpha Rob says, what's up with these Vikings fans? Listen,
they when your team wins, the fans come out of
the work.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Work baby. That's just the way it is now. If
the Vikings were seven to ten em, it's Sam Brown's fault.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
It says bro. Don't be hating on on on the Vikings.
I'm not hating on the Vikings. I'm speaking facts. The
facts are you played four good teams.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
I just it is what it is.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Casey says Henry won't be able to carry them into
the playoffs. If he could, he would have a ring
already before joining the Ravens. Yes and no, Casey. The
Tennessee Titans, I believe the one year that they legitimately
had a shot at going deep into the playoffs, they
ran too the buzz all the and the Canta Chiefs.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Right.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
The Titans were never really built to win a Super Bowl.
Their defense wasn't great. They had Derek Derrick Henry a
subpar offense. But let's just say that they weren't They weren't.
They weren't very good. Jay Fine and I says, didn't
Lebron say the Races were going to the Super Bowl.
The Ravens. I don't I don't know. I don't follow
(13:24):
Lebron Jane, I don't follow NBA at all. Freddi Edis says,
let's shut up. Who's your favorite team? My favorite teams?
I can't see the Chiefs. I don't think that matters
who your favorite team is. The facts are that the
Vikings are overrated. The Vikings are fugazi. Look at Lamar's
stats from last season to this year. He's breaking records.
Nobody thought he could be broken. Lamar is not the
(13:45):
same this season. Listen, stats lie to you. It's as
simple as that. I don't care if Lamar Jackson is
putting up five hundred yards per game. It doesn't matter.
What matters is January and February. What matters is is
Lamar Jackson and coach Harball and the rest of the
Baltimore Ravens cannot win back to back playoff game since
(14:07):
their Super Bowl run. As simple as that, we saw
it last year. Everything was in place for them to
make it to the super Bowl. Home field advantage, the
Kansay sheets we see in course sucked. The defense was
was was playing lights out right. Let's not let's not
get let's not get that twisted and you were playing
good football championship game, you change everything.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
That you do. That is that.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
That is Lamar Jackson and hardball shitting the bed. It's
just it is what it is. The facts are facts.
The facts are the facts. Alpha Rob says, Jackson is
the same as last season, couldn't break Kansas City last
year on or this year exactly.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Max says overrated, how especially with expectations, Lamar Jackson is overrated.
Lamar Jackson is overrated because you fans Max Lamar NFL
eight Freddy edits you guys put Lamar Jackson up on
this pedestal and he he can't consistently reach that pedestal. Right,
(15:19):
And it gets even better because when Lamar Jackson wins,
it's all Lamar Jackson. Lamar Jackson did this, this and this.
He's the greatest thing ever. But when he loses, my man,
Wayne g says the best. Oh, he doesn't have a
number one, doesn't have a number one receiver. The running
game suck. Coaching gets the issue. The defense is twenty
eighth in the NFL. It's always excuses. That is why
(15:43):
people hate the Baltimore Ravens. Hell, that is why the
people hate in the Minnesota Vikings. Hell, that is the
reason why people hate a lot of other teams in
the in the NFL, because when your team loses, you
have excuse, excuse, excuse, excuse, not just like, hey, maybe
we just suck today, Maybe just maybe we did not
play our best football today. When the CANCA Chiefs lost
(16:06):
to the Buffalo Bills, I came out here and I said,
the Buffalo Bills outplayed the KNCA Chiefs from start to finish.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
They dominated him.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
When have you ever heard of Baltimore Ravens fans say
say that, Yeah, the canc Chiefs just outplayed us. Yeah,
this is the Yeah, the Pittsburgh Seeders just outplayed us.
You don't you have excuses? Oh, we don't have a
number one receiver, King Henry was hurt, the the defense sucks. Whatever,
it's excuses, it's excuses. Just stop it. Lamar NFL eight
(16:38):
And it says, of course, because you're saying that because
the Vikings are are not good, because you're a Chiefs fan,
My fandom has nothing to do with with with my opinion.
My fandom has nothing to do with my opinion. I'm
the most unbiased. I've actually been down on the CANCA
Chiefs all season. Low my fandom has nothing to do
with it. And Freddy Eddis says, the Chiefs are blank
(17:00):
the rest of here we go, Here we go. We've
been waiting for this, Freddy Edits, Let's give this matter
rout of applause. The CANC Chiefs are winning because of
the referees.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Here.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Let me let let me put that scant there there
for you. The referees called the wrong play. Mahomes of
the INCA. We passy plays a lot of scrimmage. See
that clearly behind the line of scrimmage? Are Freddy Edits?
Come on, man, you're better than that. Not overrated at all?
He is overrated.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Oh, the Chiefs are overrated. How are the Chiefs over
over rated? They've been dominated one game this season. They
lost that one game this season. Hopefully we can get
revenge of that in the AC Championship Chip Chip Game.
I'm just saying.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Casey Morgan says, every AC team knows how to beat
the Raids in the playoffs. Take out the run, forced
Lamar to mar to pass. Actually, Casey, let me take
you one step further. Take away the run. Yes, Force
Lamar to pass. Yes, force Lamar, don Nicol and Diamond
down the field because he can't throw medium meeting medium passes. Actually,
(18:15):
uh re re re repettively until the next time, said
the Ravens lost. The Ravens lost to the Raiders this season.
You are right, you are right, and says, oh, you're
a Taylor Swift Swift Swist Swifts fan.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
I like so, I like a little I like a
little bit of taite.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
I'm not for sure what the has to have to
do with do with anything, and Alfa Rob says another
excuse Tucker missing field goals.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
It's justin Tucker's fault that we now that we uh
that we lost those games.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Right. Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Josh Olsen says, what do you think if what what
will you say if then, if the Ravens make it
to the Super Bowl this season, some of you will
have to eat your words, say if the Ravens make
the Super Bowl this season. They finally got over that
got over that hump. Lamar Jackson finally stopped pissing down
his leg during the postseason. Coach Harball finally stuck to
(19:12):
what has been successful in the regular season and the
Chiefs win because of Taylor Swift. Oh here we go,
and Freddy says, you look like an off brand Travis kelcey. Okay, whatever,
But guys, are the Baltimore Raves are they contenders or
(19:33):
are they pretenders? AC Championship Game. I am saying they
are pretenders. They are not going to make the AFC
Championship Game this season.
