One of the Chiefs' superpowers is their ability to scheme, and by the playoffs, they just have too much data to go on. They know what choices Lamar will make based on the formation they present, and they scheme to use those formations to exploit, because during the season, those plays just work, but now Spags has 16 games of data to make them not work. Mahomes is the better QB because he is as much X's and O's as Reid and whoever is the OC. Mahomes is like Brady in this important way. He is essentially the assistant head coach of the team. He leads on the field, he leads on the sideline, he leads in the locker room, and he leads when he is in the media. And he has the work ethic and personal dedication to back up any demands he has of his team.

Lesson learned: FIRE HARBAUGH. Him and Andy Reid are old friends this will always happen if he remains head coach.

Lesson learned: If a team sucks at run defense (KC), then you run the ball. Baltimore was the better team. I dunno what the Chiefs organization had to pay the Ravens to hand the game to them like that, but it had to be a F*CK TON!

⁠@@joshuacrumley2031I don’t know how much tin foil you used to make that hat but it had to be a FU*K TON!

Absolutely.

Yup. The chiefs only fire as many cylinders as are needed. The league doesnt seem to understand that. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I hate to agree that a team would deliberately not score, but it kinda looks like they did. Until they were ready to ice the game, and then boom it's a >30 yard pass to MVS of all people.

Andy Reid showed mercy. Just think if the Chiefs put another 17 on the Ravens in the second half how bad they would be talking about the Ravens organization. Jobs would be on the line at that point. Keep in mind that John Harbaugh was under Andy Reid at one point in his career so the mutual respect is there.

Exactly. Why put the ball in jeapordy when Ravens O cant do anything right.

As many mistakes they made that added up to a big frustrating day, they fumbled on a play trying to cross goal line and they were still down just by one score and trying to get to the ball back. But then added to the frustration which I called before it happened, that they were vulnerable to a long pass when they had them at 3rd down and a minute + left. Then boom, they let that WR get straight down the field and get that last 1st down.

@@gregorylagrangethe ravens were selling out to stop the run on that last pass from Mahomes

@@scottmac8551 You're not proving me wrong about anything

@@gregorylagrange you’re proving me right about you being a bunch of salty cry babies

@@scottmac8551 I made accurate observations about the game. You reaffirmed what I said thinking you made some additional assessment. Nobody's crying but you about not being credited for something already alluded to.

bruh too funny with that

Oh, he definitely did, but the Ravens’ mistakes were ALL self-inflicted. Spag had nothing to do with the defense and Zay Flowers making boneheaded penalties.

Because the Ravens made his job easier

@@tmc31390 idk about all, the mistakes you’re talking about happened on plays that were made by the ravens, there was still 95% of that game that they weren’t able to make mistakes bc they weren’t able to make any plays. Ravens been making mistakes all season, they’re just successful on all the other plays and end up scoring 30. If they scored 30 and won 30 to 17, no one talks ab those mistakes

​​@@RealRobbyRobb mistakes like only calling 5 running plays against 50% Nickle and Dime coverages. KC played great but the Ravens lost this game

@@imprintz I think that’s the best criticism, I still believe the Ravens blow out 70% of the league if they only ran 5 times and probably beat 93% of teams. The ravens just weren’t as run heavy this season, they lead the league in rush attempts bc they blew everyone out and ran the ball to run out the clock every 2nd half in garbage time, but their go to under Monken is passing when the game actually matters

All NFL teams and sports media want Andy Reid to retire. Andy and Mahomes are going to be a problem for years to come. Plus Reid is under contract for another 2 years.

Right? They turned up.

Exactly. He didn't need to score

You don’t think he would have if he could have though? Its insane that the DEF worked so hard to hold them and then the Ravens OFF couldn’t score! Literally their highest scorer is Justin Tucker and they just didn’t do that all of the sudden. Smh.

@@indigoframes I think he got 'em 17 in the first half and then every play after that was about ball protection and field position until they needed the 3rd and 9 and he dotted one down field to MVS to seal it.

Cuz they didn't run a lot that's why lol.

Did you watch the game

@@junkdawg2740 did you watch this video?

​@@eatYoselfdid YOU watch the video? They were showing the same plays over and over because.. they didn't run the ball enough.

@@juniorbeckham2928 Because the Chiefs shut down the run. That was the defensive game plan coming in force Lamar to beat them from the pocket and stop the run.

That’s what I’m saying lol now it’s fire todd it’s pitiful

I believe the point they were trying to make. Why be something that you're not offensively. I'm sure you've heard the word associated with coaching. ADJUSTMENTS! that was the point.

@@keithgupton9349 No. The point is they need a new sacrificial lamb to offer up because Lamar is being coddled. Was the game plan dumb? Yes. Was it they reason why they lost? No. Ppl were open. They drove down the field several times in the second half primarily passing. But Lamar and the rest of the offense kept shooting themselves in the foot.

Here's the problem as I see it that is specific to black QBs. They may be athletic, but you have to throw from the pocket to be considered a real NFL quarterback. Or you'll NEVER win a Superbowl with a QB playing the way Lamar Jackson plays. So you don't think hearing that criticism influences Lamar Jackson to prove his critics wrong? I bet if you asked Lamar Jackson privately, he probably would say there's some truth to that. Hey Lamar. At the end of the day you'll always have critics. You will always be damned if you do. Damned if you don't. So you might as well be who you are. Your day will come.

@@keithgupton9349 totally right but he has to play better they wanted roman gone cuz he ran too much now it’s Todd fault cuz he didn’t run enough in all reality lamar gotta play better

Totally undisciplined team

Not really the legit went away from their gameplan the entire year, chief defense play great but it's not like they did anything new

@@kylejoseph8941 the Ravens aren’t built to play from behind their game is to take the lead and bleed the clock. You can’t do that when you’re playing from behind 😂 Lamar still can’t throw dude didn’t develop AT ALL

@@sirhoopalot1125 they were behind by 10 or less points for the majority of the game, the ravens def held the chiefs to 3 points in the second half.

yea like a woman in the background. I turned around thinking someone was here with me lol

Cool, I just wanna make sure I'm not the only one. It's happened on two of the ESPN clips I've watch these past couple days.@@Bo87art

lol usually a touchdown yall think this man the fastest in the league ? Lmao the man is quick but not the fastest. He run the same as all the other players 4.4 , he not as fast and when he came in he doesn’t train for speed as much no more

@@Jaywon977 ok maybe not a TD but he clearly slowed down for some reason. I don’t understand why.. he had the angle on Snead and fast enough to get away

@@Willworld.there’s a reason why Lamar’s style of play doesn’t translate to a long career. Injuries pile up, which happened the two prior season, or the speed start to lack. Lamar doesn’t have to lose much of a step for other dudes to start catching him. KC has one of the youngest, fastest defenses in the league.

He did it twice. The first drive (believe that's the one you're referring to) and in the second half also. It was weird because he didn't even try to outrun the guy, just gave himself up.

​​@@Willworld.Probably a smart move on Lamar's part. He wasn't going to outrun Sneed or reach the sidelines. He no longer has QB protection. As a former DC, I taught my defenses to force the pass because 4 things can happen; three of them are in our favor (interception, sack, incomplete). So, look at it this way: if I keep running, 3 things happen. I get a few more yards; he knocks the ball out; he goes low into my legs legally to tackle and I might get injured. Slowing down and going down softly was a better decision when weighing a few yards vs turnover or injury.

Ravens never took the lead how you gonna run when you’re losing 😂

It’s the whole offense fault Lamar included and I’m a ravens fan

Lamar also has the ability entrusted to him to change the play at the line if he doesn’t like it. now that still might not make him responsible but if a Mahomes Brady or Manning was at the helm with the ability to change up plays do we seriously believe they’ll only have 6 completions?

Did y’all not see how the Chiefs were all over Lamar. The defense game plan was to not let Lamar run up and down the field and they succeeded. He was always tackled by 2 or 3 guys. The blue print for beating the Ravens, stop Lamar from running and get him to throw the ball.

@abcdefghijklmnop514 I don't think Lamar ever audibles, does he?

Lamar jus does what they tell him upstairs.. coordinator wasn’t calling RB plays. They was stuck on Air and that’s not their game.. Lamar wasn’t playing well but the play book was awful

All these Analysts are turncoats, They was waiting for Lamar Downfall

We’ll maybe except Shannon Sharpe but Stephen A Smith always been a turncoat that’s what makes him a comedian and analyst

I totally agree: Talking heads are going to talk, that is what they do to keep your attention. Yes, the Ravens didn't dance with the one that got them to the playoffs - running the ball, but that was the skill of the Chiefs in forcing them to do what they don't normally do. That said, I look forward to more from the Ravens... and more TALK!

I said in 2019 that Lamar would have a career arc similar to Michael Vick. He would win a ton of fantasy leagues but also have the same level of postseason success. That has proved to be more true every year. Last year he just skipped the playoffs to protect his contract, and that happened because he wasn't smart enough to hire an agent. Do you think Mahomes would ever sit out a chance to go to the Super Bowl over money, especially when having a pro negotiate for you means you just concentrate on football. My hot take? The Ravens are soft because Lamar is not a leader. You can be Trent Dilfer and win a Super Bowl if you have leadership skills.@@LilJJ010​

Fax lol

They had no shot come on now

@@giffondhall9214 any time you make it that far,you have a shot they just lost💯philly lost a Superbowl by 3 points to a team that was cheating with spy gate💯 (smh) McNabb knocked Vick out, Lamar knocked C.J out(Crazy)

I give the Lions a pass on the lost they played and coached the same way that got them to the NFC championship game, but for the Ravens to not utilize their running game when the game was this close common man

They’re right on both accounts. Ravens should’ve played like themselves and the Lions played too much like themselves.

huh? I just watched a 23min video of all of them (except Niq) saying CHANGE the gameplan lol Not a fan of either team but was pulling for the Lions

Both can be true for three reasons. The Lions and Ravens are two different teams with their own identities, their QG's dont play the same game, and they played two different teams that require certain game plans to beat them. It's not black and white.

This is the playoffs you mske adjustments based on how game is going just say y’all casual fans 😂😂

It contributed, but I agree. Lamar was trying to be a hero too much

@@MarloSoBalJr It's just a crazy excuse to me, "If Lamar wasn't given so many opportunities he would have played better" lol

at least the ravens got to the confrence championchip :D

Look at bright side, you guys at least have two Super Bowl wins in this Millennium. 😂

lol what. You’ve won 2 Super Bowls this century. Such a victim mentality

What do you mean? Cowboys fans are already preparing their "This is our year" chants starting in April

​@@soapa4279how much $ does Dallas pay to live in your head

I really don’t think they choked. I think it was just the worst time that they didn’t play their best. I truly believe they let the media anointing them the Super Bowl Champs go to their heads. Now they know ignore the media and focus on winning each game. Too much hype,ie, MVP quarterback, number 1 defense, OBJ, Mark Andrew’s is back, good rookie WR, Dalvin Cook, and so on. At the end of the day, you have to beat the team in front of you. Ignore the hype, do a game plan and execute it.

They averaged 3 yds on 6 carries. 6 CARRIES. So the c CHEIFS shutdown the run?????

These guys are Clueless...

Couldn't even cover kelce in the first half! Pathetic! I could cover him better than they did!

Points wise yes. BUT HOW YOU NOT DOUBLE KELCE?!!😂😂😂

Defense overaated, Pat couldn’t dropped 30 on it

No, your D gave up too many points. oh and their cheapshot artists too.

Lmao exactly.., they just have to have something to say bad about kc.. yet they don’t talk about the 30 yard td rice scored that got called back ..

@@Jaywon977 Exactly or the other 3 points the Chiefs left on the field. Instead of kicking the field goal they decided to go for it on 4th down. Final score should have been 27 to 10/14 at best.

Goofiest take yet, thank you sir

The rbs (Edwards, Hill) averaged 3 yards a carry don't listen to these idiots they had to abandon the run because chiefs DBS can tackle

Niners aren't putting 30 on the Chiefs... Chiefs 24 Niners 21

Easy the media keep portraying him as a RB, y’all tried to push something he’s not

KC’s defense plan was to not let Lamar run up and down the field. Watch the tape. Every time Lamar scrambled there were three defenders tackling him. Stop Lamar from running and make him throw the ball and harass him which KC defense did. They got into his head. If there was no Lamar MVP talk he would have played better. He played hero ball, ie, catching his own pass and throwing into triple coverage. The defense played bully ball while Lamar played hero ball equals a loss.

Ravens never took the lead

Then he didn't deserve the contract. With him at QB, the Ravens have had their season low in points in the playoffs every year. But championship-caliber defenses will beat him every time. Guys who get that money are the reason their teams win. If you only want a QB that is just not the reason they lost, they are much cheaper to come by. I was absolutely more worried about playing Buffalo than the Ravens. I had no doubt Spags would bottle up Lamar and force mistakes.

@@teewhy6994 sure about that? You want to look at other QBS like Josh allen and Herbert and Tua who will exceed Lamar's contract over time, and none of them have his MVP's and besides Josh Allen those other QBS aren't the best player on the field

They basically saying take that ball out of Lamar’s hands and they woulda won

Lies

That game plan lost them the game. Everybody knows Lamar is not a Josh Allen instead they dropped him back 30 plus time instead of running the ball. They haven’t did that all season.

@@GuRuGuy1 no it did not. everyone just do not want to blame Lamar Jackson because it might hurt his feelings

@@ak102986 ok if you say so

@@ak102986you can’t blame Lamar for a game plan that is meant for him to fail. They put the whole offense on Lamar while they should’ve been leaning more on their running back to help Lamar with the work load. They force Lamar to play out his comfort zone and that’s on the coaches.
