Yall still don’t get it :snoop: why has Lamar never gotten far, never won a chip? Bc of the run game?! No. It’s bc you are not wining come playoffs vs elite teams without a high end WR1 or at least super reliable WR1. These are razor thin margin of error situations.

Chiefs- Kelce, then Kelce and rice
Rams- Kupp
Tampa- Evans , Gideon, AND AB
Plus the Bengals w/ Chase and Higgins and Philly w/ AN and Davante

Nggas see all these recent trends yet think ‘mmmm nah we good Lamar will find a way’

Also you bringing up a regular season game but what did Buffalo do? Added Amari cooper. Also last year ravens should have won it not for that Zay fumble. And they wouldn’t have got there if not for Zay 5/115

Yea, they need Zay. It’s Deja vu. They crushed Houston last year with no notable WR games but the next week vs KC, better comp, they needed Zay
How has he never gotten far? :heh:

They got to the AFC championship last year and the main reason they lost is becuz they DIDNT run the ball. Only six carries for the RBs despite Gus Edwards averaging over 6 yards a carry
:francis:

Which is why I said, they need Zay.

The chargers aren’t the ravens of course but we just saw in 4k what it can look like if you can’t win at WR at a high rate come playoffs. They got away with a Subpar receiving core all year then voila. Playoffs is different. And the causal eye will see Herbert 4 picks and think it’s all on him but a lot of that is on subpar WRs not winning, bad routes, poor at the catch point, etc

Bills pass d is elite. Bateman is aight but that Agholor and Tylan Wallace shyt ain’t gon cut it
They are gonna need Zay to win it all but I also think Lamar has leveled up enough, and they still have enough weapons, to survive without Zay---->if they have to...

This aint the Chargers offense so your comparison makes no sense. Bateman is better than any receiver LA has besides Cacc McHonkey. The Ravens have dual tight end threats, Likely runs routes like a WR. This notion that Baltimore has a comparable receiving core to LA is not even close to accurate...

The Ravens have weapons. The only legitimate concern is, if his legs and Henry are taken away, can Lamar rise to the occasion and win with his arm? That's a real concern because he's never done it, but the concern isn't really Baltimore's weapons...

Anybody's defense is gonna have to pick whether they attempt to take away Baltimore's run or pass. This is an explosive offense, it's not impossible but the likelihood that both get shut down is very, very slim. So if Lamar has to WIN it with his arm, it's because a team effectively shuts down the run. That better be the case because if the Ravens just do what they want and it's a shootout, they are set up to run and gun with anyone...
