Never Gonna win it all with Leemah

[SheriffJoe]

Lamar has generally played well against good competition the last few years

Ravens have a good roster around Lamr, but nothing like what 49ers had last year around Purdy.

Lot of pressure on both of these teams to get it done.

Both teams haven’t been able to get over the hump

9 Pro Bowlers this year, 7 last year. If a QB keeps coming up short surrounded by that level of talent, something's wrong. What more does he need?

The Bills have 2 Pro Bowlers. Allen and Dion Dawkins. Plus, the Bills don't have a WR over 1000 yards...amazing when you look at this team's O output.

Chiefs have 5.

Niners window is already closed.

I mean it doesn't really matter in terms of QB, pressure-wise

Both teams have a ton of pressure on them to win this game

Both have to get over that hump eventually

Why can't a team as stacked as Baltimore win?

Were they better than the Chiefs last year? On paper, absolutely! Arguably, the most talented roster in the league.

Yet, 3-4 playoff record for their QB. Something ain't right.

I wouldn't say that the Ravens were better than the Chiefs last year. Nobody was better.

But in my estimation either Buff or Balty are better than the Chiefs this year.

Gonna be fun Sunday night - a real heavyweight battle. I just may sit back and enjoy without taking a side.

Feels like the Chiefs are being underrated again to be honest

They definitely can win

But the pressure is equally on both the Bills and Ravens

Big blow to either of these teams if they lose

No excuses for either of them

Can never take them for granted. They are the Champs. They know what it takes to win.

But their offense has only put up 30 points once this year. Their Defense is good but not great. They are vulnerable.

Mahomes is getting smarter with the ball. That helps.

In '23 -24 and '22-23 Playoffs combined he has thrown 13 TDs but only 1 int. The previous two years he threw 15 TDs but 5 interceptions.

But he's gonna have to score points to beat Allen or Jackson this year. They haven't done that in the regular season.

Seems like they were more vulnerable last year

Chiefs have been playing good ball as of late; getting healthier, starting to put it together on offense

And they have Reid/Mahomes

Chiefs should be able to move the ball plenty against either Buffalo or Baltimore

Well it is the playoffs

Not like we haven't seen this movie before

At some point scripts change. Just sayin'.

The Chiefs were better in hindsight because they won. On paper prior to the game the Ravens were clearly the better team, hence the higher seed and homefield.

But they failed...again.

The Ravens have 9 Pro-Bowlers
The Bills have Josh Allen

Choose wisely.

Sometimes they do, but Chiefs are in the midst of a dynasty similar to the Patriots

Just think Ravens and Bills both have some recent playoff demons they need to overcome. That's tough to do

Chiefs have a lighter match-up + they get to play at Arrowhead , and they've done all this shit before

No reason Josh Allen shouldn't play well on Sunday, regardless of the outcome of the game

Ravens defense is very vulnerable -- don't care what recent stats say since they moved Humphrey around. Ravens haven't been playing great teams down the stretch either

They're not a juggernaut

Despite a coinflip line, money is pouring in on the Ravens.

But why?

You sure?

Not that Allen has had difficulties shredding high-ranked Ds.

Like I said, stats are deceiving

Ravens have mostly been playing shit teams


Week 13 -- at Chargers, who did move the ball on Ravens a bit

Week 14 -- Eagles, who they lost to and barely threw the ball

Week 15 -- at Giants, who suck all the way around

Week 16 -- Steelers, who suck on offense

Week 17 -- at Texans, who suck on offense

Week 18 -- Browns, who suck all the way around

You always come prepared Joe.
It's like talking to a wall.
Good job & good luck Sunday.

Also weird how bad the Bills looked when Baltimore defense was playing so poorly

Just don't think it's a good match up for Buffalo

So who are you predicting to win the game?

They looked bad because they had a bad game.

Lots of injuries
Allen sustained a concussion (I think)
Baltimore at home the hungrier team (1-2 vs 3-0 Bills)

13-4 season, this was one of their losses, all on the road.
