I'm sorry. I must have missed the part where you made all those specific distinctions about positions.
Seemed like you made just a generic overall statement about 4 Ravens players without qualifying any of it.
I must have misread. I'll go back and read it again. [Reply]

It sux to be an insomniac. In HS and college I often only got 3-4 hours of sleep/night. But most of the time I could function just fine. I didn't like how I felt, but I could go about my business. Every few weeks I'd go sleepless for a couple days, and that sucked. A few times a year I'd go 50+ hours. Twice I went 5 straight days without sleeping. Hallucinated towards the end of those, smelled rotten oranges all day, saw things that weren't there, etc.
Nowadays, a couple times a year I'll go sleepless for 40+ hours. Most nights I can get 6 hours of sleep.
Worst thing about it is that when it hits, you're just stuck with it. No sleeping pills/alcohol/drugs seem to work. You're just awake until it's over, whenever that happens. [Reply]

He also failed to win a ring in 15 of 22 seasons while losing to the likes of Ryan Tannehill and Nick Foles.
Chiefs looked dead in the water on Christmas Day. As a guy with more pessimistic views, I was actually somewhat concerned they would lose their final 2 games and miss the Playoffs entirely. I think it’s pretty amazing the Chiefs got their act together enough to make it to the Conference title game. The Ravens are a great TEAM and should win the game.
But it's ok to hold the 2019 playoff Loss against Lamar Even though he had 500 yards of total offense including 350 passing. He had multiple guys drop multiple passes and the defense couldn't stop Derrick Henry. They also hold a playoff loss against him in 2018 when he took over for Joe Flacco. Joe Flacco and Lamar Jackson couldn't be more different QBs but he took that team from a below .500 team to a division winner in 7 games. Do you see the hypocrisy in that [Reply]

Lamar turned the ball over 3 times in that game (2 INT's, 1 fumble) all by himself.

I do see all of that. Lamar didn’t exactly play his best in that Tennessee game. Some of that loss falls on him. Some of it falls on his teammates and coaches for sure. They were much better prepared this time around after the bye week, which seemed to take the wind out of Baltimore’s sails in the Tennessee game 4 years ago. They headed into the Playoffs at the end of 2019 regular season looking unbeatable. Crushed Belichick & Brady on Sunday Night Football late in the season. And then something happened in the bye week. They came out very flat in that Tennessee game and could never dig themselves out of the hole. Harbaugh figured out something in the bye week this year to have the guys better prepared. [Reply]

Only on Chiefsplanet do we have to put up with every damned teams' asshole fans coming in here, with their chests puffed out about how their team is da greatest evah! Only to disappear when Mahomes rips their heart out.
And he usually does this time of year.
If you get us this time, bummer. Better go win it all, then-because it's the best chance you're going to have for a while.
Us? We'll be here next year. And the year after that. And the year after that. And the year after that. And the year after that. And the year after that. And the year after that. And the year after that. And the year after that.
Nobody wins every year. But we get within a game every year, and nobody else does.
And THAT is why we don't give a shit about your team.
You're all just flashes in the pan. Mahomes is inevitable. [Reply]

We lose a close game that could go either way I'll tip my hat. Disappointed yes, devastated, probably not.
Come on. Don't lie. You will be devastated and should be with an all time DVOA team and a team that beat 11 winning teams, many handely. We had whole thread in here dedicated to people who gave up on these asp things weeks ago. [Reply]

Also suggesting that a guy is in the GOAT conversation while also explaining away how a loss as acceptable is incongruent. If he’s the GOAT, he wins this game. He beats the DVOA darlings with the MVP in their house. If he doesn’t win that game, it matters. As a non-Chiefs fan, I’ll tell you right now that I won’t think of him the way people here want me to. Because people here aren’t saying he’s very good—they’re saying he is the greatest to ever do it. Then prove it no matter the circumstances.
If you construct a mid roster and the baby goat loses, you’re not who people on this board are telling me you are. You don’t have the Pats’ cache, not even close. You might think you’re “on track,” but you’re not there just as much as no one here will give credit to Lamar/the Ravens for being “on track” for a Super Bowl when it’s all said and done. You have to actually do it in games like this. Defend your title.
Spinning this narrative that this game is a win/win for the Chiefs should be beneath you if you think these guys are who you say they are.
You see, we won last year with the highest cap percentage a QB has ever had. We are on the ups of doing it again with a top 2 Defense that are the youngest in the NFL. This is your year to get us. �� [Reply]
