I was pretty skeptical about him but he is legit. If the Ravens keep the D up as they always do I can see many battles in the playoffs against them for awhile. [Reply]
Two years in a row the Ravens have come into Arrowhead, and both times it was a white knuckle experience beating this guy. This year their defense let go of their pass rushers, but it was still tough. Chiefs are the better team, but once again I'd rather not face these guys in the postseason. [Reply]

Oh please. This wasn't remotely like last year.
Last year Mahomes had to pull an amazing play out of his butt to bring us from behind.
This year we got away ahead and they got two garbage time TDs thanks to ridiculous 50/50 jump balls. They were shot with luck, and we just needed one play to slice their throats.
The Ravens were lucky to be in that game at the end.
They're a good team, but not in the Chiefs' league - next time we play them they won't be so lucky. If their QB could throw deep with any kind of consistency maybe I'd fear them.
Especially with a full strength Chiefs offense. We'll blow the fucking doors off that team. When it was 30-13 we were on the verge of doing that anyway - they just pulled a couple miracles out their ass. [Reply]
Jackson was lucky that he did not have at least 3 interceptions. He had zero touch on the deep ball. The refs let their O line hold all day- it was ridiculous.
The talk of Jackson being MVP over Mahomes this year- ended today. [Reply]

But in terms of offensive fit, I also don't see Vick running the ball 15 times a game. And when we say running, we're talking running back like carries. For Harbaughs system specifically, lamar isn't a bad fit. Outside the system with a lesser defense and running game, can't imagine lamar would be that good. [Reply]
Prime example of east coast media bias overhyping a player leading up to this game. If Lamar Jackson played in KC or another small media market they’d be saying tap the breaks on this kid and rightfully pointing out that he played really bad teams. Instead they were touting this as a future Brady/Manning rivalry. [Reply]
Jackson is actually ahead of Vick at the same stage of the career, which is how ya do this. One play away today from beating a great Chiefs team....on the road!

The guy is going to be just fine.
Holy hyperbole.
At what point were the Ravens a “play away” from beating the Chiefs yesterday? I must have missed them having the ball with even a chance to tie the game in the second half, let alone take the lead.
If you never have the ball with a chance to take the lead in the second half, you’re not one play away from winning.
Jackson is a solid QB but the narrative is awfully different if he doesn’t connect on 2 desperation heaves that were incredibly low percentage. [Reply]
