The Refs, the Special Teams, and the Mistakes

This is one of my biggest issues when it has come to talking about the success or lack thereof that Lamar Jackson has had in the playoffs (because of course it's just Lamar Jackson right? Nobody else)

How can anyone forget just how piss poor all the weapons were? If he makes 10 throws and 1 is picked off but another 3 throws to score but the other guys don't execute....then what?

Yes his weapons were bad but they were also good enough to dominate some of those same teams in regular season and others! We were atleast good enough to make SB but fell really really short! Fast forward to 2025 playoffs and the same mistakes are happening! Holding the ball with one hand while being sacked knowing its slippery and rainy out is just something you gotta be aware of. I feel like we have that team that cant do it by themselves! We dont have a ray lewis, ed reed, suggs nor anquan and all the other guys anymore for us to be mentally tough and well disciplined, therefore we gonna need lots of help from coaching…. and so far we just havent had that.

And I watch every Raven and Bengal game and I see the ridiculous catches Burrow’s NUMBER 2 makes every single game and it’s a fucking joke

The bengals should be heavily fined and punished for letting Tee play vs buffalo. I feel really bad for the guy, he's going to have some serious long term damage and his career just got cut a lot shorter. It’s actually criminal they let him back in the game after hitting his head returning from a NASTY concussion. His careee probably just got cut short 2 years by that and his life 5. Fuck the bengals and fuck the NFL for taking gambling more seriously then concussions

Higgins a monster! Also, if we had higgins, he would not look as good here as he does in cincy! Lamar doesnt attempt passes as borrow does! Not saying that he cant but he just dont do it as consistent as borrow does! Tbh, borrow is a much better passer than lamar! Shyt, he really might be a much better passer than everyone in the nfl. I do want us to have a guy like higgins though. I think lamar enjoys those bombs or 1vs1 to dhop that he doesnt often to get throw

Yea idk about this. People think this but then 42 year old Flacco goes to the bengals with no practice and throws for the most yards in his career.

It’s football, talent finds talent.

Herbert is a better passer than Burrow, people don’t understand how much of a difference Burrow’s weapons make, we just saw Flacco prove it

If we played flacco instead of borrow, we would 1000% have won that game. Did flacco even win games for bengals this year?

Patriots wasnt picking low for dam near 20yrs straight lol! Thats no excuse. Eagles OC terrible and kc has been picking guys like worthy and clyide edwards. We couldve kept guys like big Z and even makari but didnt. Im no expert but even i knew the oline was gonna be bad and that orr wasnt experienced enough to take over a team with no real pass rushers.. also, its not like we havent tried to get serviceable guys at LOS, it just hasnt worked out

One of the obvious differences is teams like the Patriots and Texans right now have good QBs that are only around 2% to 3% of their cap. Lamar accounts for almost 16% of ours this year. That’s a lot of extra $ to spend on other players. Even Hurts(7.5%) and Mahomes(10%) account for much less.

Lamar’s number jumps up to 24% next year, so obviously there needs to be some sort of restructure, extension, etc..

Yes he played great against the Steelers I went to the game. Flacco would have beat us as well we literally handed the game to them with 5 TOs. You don’t think Flacco could manage 52% completion?

Burrow did his usual 4th quarter turnovers against the Bills btw to lose them the game. Most overrated athlete of my lifetime I honestly think

This is where him not having an agent hurts us. Really don’t feel like going through that drama again

Seem to recall he won one, with a couple tough losses to the Jets and Bears. Cincinnati has a terrible defense. We need to take advantage of that to move on.

It’s really the double standards when it comes to Lamar and I’m more exposed to it out here too. But I watch all of their games and ours and it’s outrageous the plays his WRs make. I’m not saying he isn’t good but I truly dont think Ravens fans are even capable of understanding it because we are so whipped and we get hyped about fucking Tex Walker
