Speaker 1 (00:00):
Must fitsh situations on Super Bowl Wildcard Weekend? What what what? But,
as you guys know, the Steelers and the Ravens do
go to battle on Saturday night in the second game
of the Super Bowl Wild Card Weekend. They've already played
twice this season's plaiting the season series one to one.
The Spittsburgh Steelers won the first meeting eighteen to sixteen,

(00:21):
and then the Baltimore Ravens said come back and hold
my beer. At the second meeting, the whooped that ass
thirty four to seventeen. The Steelers are currently on a
four game losing streak. They've lost to the Philadelphia Eagles,
the Baltimore Ravens, the Canteen Chiefs, and the Cincinnati Bengals.
And on the flip side, the Baltimore Ravens are currently
on a five game winning streak, beating the New York

(00:43):
Football Giants, beating the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Houston Texas, and
the Cleveland Browns. So many people are pretty much picking
the Baltimore Ravens a cakewalk in this game to lay
the wood to the Pittsburgh Steelers cake walk all the
way to the Super Bowl. But I gotta ask the question,
you gotta put this process out there.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
What if the Baltimore Ravens lose this game?

Speaker 1 (01:05):
What if they come out there in the super Bowl
wild Card weekend and Lamar Jackson does Lamar Jackson in
things in the playoffs and Coach Harball does Coach Harball
things in the playoffs and they lose this game. Is
their season considered a failure if they lose to the
Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowl wild Card weekend? That is the
question that I want to ask, And that's the question

(01:25):
that we're gonna answer, because when you look at the
Baltimore Ravens guys, they have been the top rated offense
all season long. I don't think they've dropped from the
number one spot at all this season.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
So let me just put it out there.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Eighteen weeks, they have been the best offense in the game,
week after week after week, putting up monster numbers. Right,
Lamar Jackson has been putting up MVP numbers. He's actually
been putting up better numbers than his previous two MVP seasons.
He's not gonna win the MVP, but he's been putting
up MVP numbers. They also got Dare Henry this offseason. Right,

(02:01):
the man the met the legend that the Baltimore Ravens
needed to get to the Super Bowl. They got him.
He's been putting up massive numbers too. Hell, you could
argue that he is the.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
MVP for this uh for the NFL.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
Right, they got Derrick Henry strictly for the postseason. And oh,
by the way, it's supposed to snow and be nasty
in Baltimore on Saturday, perfect for Derrick Henry in a
running game.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
On the flip side, the defense has sucked. Let's just
be flatter, honest.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
The defense has been terrible for the Baltimore Ravens most
of the season. The last four weeks. Actually, since their
bye week, they've gotten a lot better. Still not great,
still putting this still letting some shit sly by, but
they've gotten a hell of a lot better. So, guys,
if the Baltimore Ravens lose this game, is their season

(02:53):
considered a failure? That is a hundred percent yes, That
is a hundred percent yes. You cannot go out there
and be deemed the best team in the end of
the NFL. As mister comp or Compass says, right there,
the Ravens are the best team. You cannot be consistently

(03:14):
be called the best team, the hottest team, the super
Bowl favorites, this and this and this, and then go
out there, lose to a division rival on the second
game of Super Bowl Wildcard or Super wild Card weekend,
and shit to bed.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
This season would be all for not all for not.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
Now, I understand all the excuses are starting to load up, right,
all those excuses are starting to be pending for Lamar Jackson. Right,
it's gonna be cold, it's gonna be snowing.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Jay Flowers is out, YadA, YadA, YadA.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
And that is all we hear from Baltimore Ravens fans
most of the season. When Lamar Jackson wins, Oh, Lamar great.
Lamar Jackson is great, he is amazing, He's MVP. Is
this and this and this and this. But when they lose,
especially in the playoffs, especially in the playoffs, he doesn't
have a wide receiver number one, he doesn't have a

(04:08):
running game. Coach, hardballs, terrible, fire him, offensive coordinators doing this,
this and this. It's always somebody else's fault. So the
answer that question is yes, it will be a complete failure.
If the Baltimore Ravens do not win this game. They
have to go out there and they have to win
this game. Not only do they have to win, they
need to dominate the game, I think, because if they

(04:28):
don't dominate, they let the Pittsburgh Steelers hang around a
little bit, They're gonna come back and.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Wax that ass. Now, I can tell you.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
I can tell you that the buff that the Buffalo
Bills fans want the Baltimore Ravens to lose. The Kisay
Chiefs want the Baltimore Ravens to lose. They want to
play the Pittsburgh Steelers. Just just it is what it is, right,
they want to play the Pittsburgh Steelers. Hell, if the
Baltimore Ravens lose, the Buffalo Bills could be playing the

(04:59):
Chargers again. I mean, I guess it would be the
Steelers probably, But either way, either way, they want the
Baltimore Ravens to lose. So it is a win or
else situation for the Baltimore Ravens. This season will be
deemed a failure if they lose. So, guys in the
comments below, if the Baltimore Ravens lose to the Pittsburgh
Steelers on Super Bowl Wild Card weekend on Saturday night

(05:21):
at eight o'clock, is their season deemed a failure? I'm saying, yes,
what do you guys think? What do you guys think?
What do you gotts think? Alpha rob said, the Steelers
twenty four to twenty playoff Jackson shows up, which equals trash? Trash,
He says, Now, Alpha Robb, I do agree with you

(05:41):
to an extent, right, I do agree with you to
an extent that that Lamar Jackson impass has definitely dribbled
down his leg, but holes, pucker and a little bit
of turns popped out in the playoffs last season, that
first playoff game. He did play very very very well

(06:01):
in the championship game versus the kan See Chiefs. Yeah,
it's not so terrible, right, still not great, Still not
in VP level, Lamar Jackson. Right, still not regular season
Lamar Jackson, But he has gotten better. Has that monkey
officially gotten off his back? I guess we'll find out
Saturday night, just two days away, in two days time? Actually, right,

(06:22):
is that at this time nine pm East Coast time,
we'll see if Lamar Jackson's balling or not? Right, balling
or not? And over here at at YouTube p h
V t MP. I'm not even gonna try this. I
don't know what your try, what your name is. And
like he says, the panic is setting in for you, huh,
good luck. The panic for me is not setting in

(06:45):
at all.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Right.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
The panic for a can't see Chiefs fan is not
setting in at lock like at all. Panic for a
Buffalo Bills fan is not setting in at like at all.
There is no panic across the landscape at all. Let's
just be honest, right, Because the Pittsburgh Steelers are supposed
to lose this game. They lost four in a row.

(07:08):
They are supposed to lose five five five in a row.
Matter of fact, I believe the Ravens are favored by
like seven points and might even be more now. The
Ravens are supposed to win. So who is in panic mode?
The Ravens are supposed to win. The Ravens are supposed
to be the Super Bowl favorites.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Right, was it? I saw a mean? Actually?

Speaker 1 (07:29):
I think Haffee posted it on our Facebook page every
twelve years with this twenty eight year old quarterback to
Baltimore Ravens win the Super Bowl?

Speaker 2 (07:37):
Right? They did it with Joe Flaco.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
They did it with Trent Dilfer and now Lamar Jackson's
twenty eight years old, twelve years since they won the
last Super Bowl. The Ravens are supposed to win. Hell,
I'd even take it one step further that the Baltimore
Ravens are the favorite to win the Super Bowl over
the Buffalo Bills, over the kant Cheese, over the Pittsburgh Steelers,
over anybody. They're the favors to win it. So who

(08:02):
is panicking, that's the question. Who is panicking? Nobody's panicking.
If anything, the Baltimore Ravens are panicking because Alpha Rob
says Zay Flowers will be their excuse.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
It is.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
The excuse is already there. They already have three excuses
lined up, right and now, right off the bat, Alpha Rob, Oh,
we cut Deontay Johnson. There goes our back, our our
number three, number four receiver, Zay Flowers is hurt. There
goes our number one guy uh Derrick Henry can't run
very well in the snow. The excuses are already starting

(08:39):
to pile up, pile up, pile up. We've already won
four in a row. We're tired, you know, The Baltimore
Ravens had the last bye week of the NFL season,
which is Week fourteen. Then they turn around and then
they played three games in eleven days. Then they had
eleven days off. Yes, they did how to play week

(09:02):
eighteen to win the division? They they did right, they
I think hell, I think most of their starters play
most of the game. Actually, if I'm not mistaken, so
the and now they already got they are a well
rested team.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
That's what I'm trying to to to like say.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
Both everything's lining up for Baltimore Ravens to win the
Suite super Bowl. Everything's pointing that they're well rested Week
fourteen bye week, they had eleven days off between Week
seventeen and week eighteen. Everything's pointing that they should win it.
Zay Flowers will be an excuse. I guarantee it. I

(09:41):
can already see it Monday.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
Come.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
Come Monday morning or Monday night when we're doing the
show here, which is gonna be tough because the Vikings
and Rams will be playing. I'll be watching that game
while doing the show, and I can already see the
Ravens fans like like just like just like in in here.
We don't have a number one receiver. We need better coaching,

(10:05):
we need this. The excuses are piling up already. Derek says,
he lose, can we'll call him Charlie Brown. So if
Lamar Jackson loses, can we call him Charlie Brown. I mean,
I guess you could could if you want to. But
wasn't Charlie Brown the only reason why he kept missing
the kick because the girl kepn't move in the ball, right,

(10:28):
It was always somebody else's fault. I mean, I guess, so,
I guess, I guess so, And Laura says, I'm waffling,
but hey, go purple. Laura says, I don't know who
would to pick. She doesn't know who to pick. She says,
I'm waffling around, but go purple because I like purple,
because I like Vikings.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Go baby. Derek says, Lamar gets hurt, it's over. And
that is correct.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
And honestly, if any quarterback on any playoff tame gets hurt,
it's probably over. Jalen Hurts gets hurt, it's over. Patrick
Holmes gets hurt, it's over. Jared Goff gets hurt, probably
over right, justin Herbert gets hurt me and like that,
that is not it and that is not a stretch
at all.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
Derek right.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Hell, I don't even know who the backup for the
Ravens is, so it is definitely over.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
Definitely over. James Frasan the chat, what's up? James says,
what up?

Speaker 1 (11:23):
I'm done, finally made it back Ravens my ten baby,
And I said, James, slow with down, baby, How can
you pick the Ravens to beat the Pittsburgh Seelers. I'm
just playing. I'm just playing.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
And James says, I told you y'all.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
Pittsburgh was fiezled out at the end of the season and
it's kind of out of reach. They have the hardest
schedule to end the season. And band notification says Kansas
City Chiefs fans stand up, Let's go Chiefs Kingdom Baby,
let's go, let's go, let's go. And James says, I
remember George Pickens blaming the snow for the loss in Cleveland.
He can't play in the snow either, Good thing for you, James.

(12:05):
George Pickens can't catch the ball right now either. And
they got Nasy Harris baby, naughsy hairs. Let's go, let's go,
And Richard Lopez says swifty City.

Speaker 2 (12:16):

Speaker 1 (12:23):
I'll let me some tate before she didn't start to
aat my man TK, Daryl Johnson says, eight, no excuse,
just gotta get up there and ball out. And Daryl,
you might be a logical fan. Daryl, you might be
a level headed fan. I don't know if you're a
Baltimore Ravens fan or like or not. Uh, I'm just

(12:44):
I'm just assuming that you are so correct me if
I'm wrong, if you're not a Ravens fan. But most,
when I say most, at least eighty percent of the
Baltimore Ravens fans that I know that interact with our page,
including Wayne G says that when the Baltimore Ravens win,

(13:06):
it's all Lamar Jackson. When they lose, they need all
this help. No number one receiver, no this, no this,
no this this this this is right and honestly it
is always the next man up.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
I believe.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
My man wbn over on a Facebook dot com force
last Man on a page says yeah, Zayflowers is up,
and he says, next man up, baby, Next man up.
But let me ask you this, Daryl, who is the
next man up from Rashad Bateman and Nelson Aguilar? Who
else do you have? As far as receiver excuses, are there,

(13:44):
Excuses are there for the Ravens. Let's just call a
spade of spade. They are there and people can definitely
uh rely on those excuses moving forward right, band Notification
says the whole NFL is getting their butt kicked.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
By the Swifties. Let's go Baby, I like it. Alpha
Rob says.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
The Ravens fans are gonna be crying about and no
one can get open. Probably lockdown defense, Baby, lockdown defense.
And James says, I'm just being a hater. I'm sitting
on the couch, I'm staying warm. I'm root for my
Browns to do well in the draft. I'm just being

(14:23):
a hater.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
Listen, James, I love it. Hate all you want, brother,
hate all you want.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
He says, I'm picking the Ravens because screw Pittsburgh. Richard
Lopez is in the chat today. What's up, Richard? And
he says the Hello, hell Swifties. Wish the Chargers are coming. Richard,
stay around because we're gonna talk about your chargers. Hearing
about twenty fifteen twenty minutes, we're gonna be talking about
your LA Chargers and.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
About how overrated they are.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
That's why I said overrated, overrated. The Chiefs have beat
every team in the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
You're no one, not wrong.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
And Laer says Jack Swift talk please stop it. No
Ta ta all day and James says, don't rape Tay
