If KC wins, it continues the dominance over Lamar. If Baltimore wins, we'll treat it as a regular game and say "see you in January". Baltimore really can't "win" here.
That's true tho. If Lamar play really well, then it will only further show that Lamar is a playoff choke. Nobody is doubting the Ravens or Lamar in the regular season. Manning went through similar criticism, and as a Colts fan, I agreed with it.
What the hell is Nick even talking about? 😂 It’s the first game of the year, it’s arguably the best time to play your “rival.” Not to mention, if the Ravens aren’t motivated by watching the Chiefs hang a banger, nothing else will.
Baltimore isn't a rival. There's not hate, no intense dislike, nothing like Bengals. Heck even the Bills, although the medial calls it a rivalry, it's just like Baltimore. The fans may hate each other but the teams have to feel it and KC doesn't hate Baltimore or the Bills.
LMAO was Stefon motivated by staying on the field while the Chiefs got the lamar hunt trophy ? watching your rival get awards doesnt motivate everyone the same. maybe if this was basketball lmao but you got 52 people watching that shit happen and id bet my life more than half of them it discourages them
You're right. But if you win, Ravens fans will be talking all Year how they're unstoppable. At least you have perspective. None of it matters til you face KC in the playoffs. Which if you make it as far as you can in the AFC, you almost certainly will
@@Truthteller01Chiefs beat them without a great offense. Watch this year when we actually have recievers that can catch. Lamar always choke on the biggest stage
When ppl talk about the AFC chip game, why do ppl act like Lamar didn’t have a TD pass negated because Zay decides to dive unnecessarily & gets it punched out😂 that’s not his fault. Granted, Lamar definitely had a bad game but dawg, come on. He had another TD off the table because of something out of his control. Zay scores it’s 14-17 and they have momentum with a solid amount of time left to tie it or win it.
Without that fumble Lamar doesn’t have a bad game because it changes the mindset on the drive that resulted in INT to Likely. He’s not forcing that ball with a FG to tie the game in the back pocket and they perhaps run more balanced attack to get in the endzone
The same way they dragged dax prescott and josh allen. They blamed them for recievers dropping passes etc. In they respective games. Lamar is way more accomplished so he gotta bear responsibility
Not to mention Mahomes got shut out the entire 2nd half but Nick was acting likes he’s unstoppable and was “game managing” so he didn’t score on purpose 🤣
@donovan4222 somebody need to point out to nick that patrick plays in a weak division and he will always be in the playoffs. He made a point of saying all josh allen playoffs wins came at the hand of less talented qb. I wish they had a call in line. Because that HOMER needs to be put in his place
That’s the point we beat the ravens and won a superbowl 🤷♀️😂 so if they win it’s not going to mean anything 🤷♀️😂 but I understand coming from a person like you
@@kennyb1997they’re only consistent target was a rookie 🤷♂️ the oline was terrible as well on top of having his favorite target in andrews rushed back
Saying the ravens lost because they didn’t run the ball is weak. So take the ball out of Lamar Jacksons hands? Yall would have criticized the ravens for doing that too. Lamar should have used his legs more. He just stopped running when he had on open lane and let sneed tackle him. He was 3 hitching when it should have been 1-2 reads take off. Zay Flowers fumble in the end done changed the whole game. It wasnt the gameplan the players need to be better.
yes, take it out of his hands because hes a shitty pocket passer. that IS why they lost. if you are relying on lamars arm alone to win good fucking luck. cant even get more than 10 points.
@@KillingWithaSmile613 If you just expect to hand the ball off to henry and beat the chiefs youre out of your damn mind. The scariest thing to any defense is a qb who can just take off and run even if you got everyone covered especially in a man to man scheme like the chiefs run. Look at what Mike Vick did to defenses that played him that way.
@@KillingWithaSmile613 Lamar was the number one QB from the pocket last year against teams with .500 record. And guess what they played 13 of them. Yall just type anything.
This a dumb take, nobody is saying take it out his hands, if he’s running it, whose hands is the ball in? They should of ran more because they had the best rushing attack in the league, him scrambling more would of opened up more passing lanes, he’s a DUEL THREAT
I agree they haven’t gotten off to a 6-0/8-1 start since the 2020 season i believe, but i think after losing a home opener to detroit last year, they aren’t gonna make the same mistake
This is such a nothing game, no matter how it plays out it will tell you nothing about either team. Chiefs win: cool we already saw this a few months ago, Ravens win: so what? The Chiefs just practice for 18 weeks every year and the Ravens still have a tough division.
Oh this game will establish the beginning of Lamar/King Henry era as well as start the Back to Back MVP campaign for Lamar as well as get the Ravens on track for 1 seed. Also gives Lamar a chance to get within 1 game in H2H record with Mahomes by end of the year with a chance to make it 3 wins in the last 4 meetings in his favor
@@xyzunotme you're talking about Tennessee with a mediocre Tannehill as the QB. This is 2 time MVP Lamar Jackson we're talking about now lol don't even try it
When has a run heavy team ever beaten Mahomes? Lol lamar gotta play QB to beat mahomes when it comes. A 30+ year old Henry doesn't matter when they just beat the best rb in cmc in the superbowl lol
Who’s gonna explain to Nick that “running the ball more” and “keeping the game outta Lamar hands” are not synonymous because Lamar an excellent rusher…..
Because you are making Lamar one dimensional instead of two. Passing plays that end up in a QB scramble are not the same as running the ball more because it wasn't a designed run and it was out of a passing formation.
Naw the problem is he trying flip a narrative that he tried creating last season 🗑️. Nobody said “let Lamar cook” the argument was new OC game plan would be more balanced not just run heavy
Not really he has fan like takes any time it comes to the chiefs and it’s easy to be proven right when your team has the best players, what no one anticipated in the playoffs was that the Ravens would stop doing what they do
@@jaywilliams4770 It's easy to be proven right when you have the best players . . . Then why were the Chiefs the underdogs starting with the divisional round all the through the Super Bowl? Why was the majority of the talking heads picking them to lose those road games? Why was everyone saying Chiefs had the best QB, the other teams had the best roster 2-53?
Almost all his takes on Ravens are wrong. He said Lamar wouldn’t re-sign there, he said he made a mistake being his own agent, he said Ravens would miss playoffs, he said Ravens wouldn’t make it to AFCCG. His only saving grace has been Chiefs winning that game thanks to Ravens gifting it. And he falsely diagnoses what happened that game. He and Chiefs kingdom are cooked now that Ravens have Henry and will stick to their gameplan
IDK if they are going to feature Walker out the gate. When they unlock him it’s really over for the league. He’s got Tyreek Hill level ball carrier speed
I am stoked!! Let’s see, they got D. Henry, So!! We shut him, down more than 2x playing the Titans, Ravens lost some good players to free agents, we lost some too but kept our #1 Defense up to par! We are 4:1 playing the Ravens. They have a great Offense, We got a SUPERB Offense, bring it on Baltimore, we are ready, WELCOME TO THE KINGDOM! 🔥♥️💛🏈🏆🏈💛♥️🔥
I don’t understand how Nick loves joe who can’t beat Lamar or haven’t won any mvps r super bowls but hate on Lamar when he clearly has the second best resume in football after patrick if joe had the career Lamar has people would be saying he better than dam patrick
Since 2018 the ravens have gotten 1 step closer to the SB..yeah Lamar is 2-4 but u have to lose in order to learn and win…ravens didn’t run the ball enough to win the AFC championship SIMPLE…but now they have Derrick Henry they will learn from their mistakes and beat KC and everybody else
I feel like Nick is just making shit up. They wanted a big prime time opening game and that’s it. When people tune in, it’s because it’s opening night and we love football. It ain’t going to be about Lamar’s struggles like he thinks it’s going to be. Like who tf cares about that
Mmm fan he? This whas lamar 3e trip to the playoffs as a starter..first time divional second time divional amd 3e championship game so..slow you down man
The ONLY reason we didn’t win the AFC championship was because WE DID NOT RUN THE BALL😂they want to always bring up Lamar playoff record but peyton had to go through the same process 💯
Man dont act like this chiefs homer doesn't drag josh allen every other day. And constantly hating on brock purdy😂😂😂. Allen receivers dropped passes all night. And his #1 receiver (diggs,) with the drop of the playoffs .so come on lamar is a 2 mvps he going to be held to a higher level
The quarterback gets the credit for wins. They touch the ball the most of any single player, they determine the reads, diagnose coverages, and call audibles on their own. They are the player with the ability to directly affect a game the most out of anyone on the field. They deserve the largest share of the credit when their team wins and therefore the largest share of blame when their team loses.
@@loganleroy8622 true. However, in the last quarter of the season you know what teams are, and teams have an idea what playoff seeding they’re fighting for. It adds more of a narrative when two contender teams play each other in December.
I rarely agree with Nick, but this time I definitely agree with Nick, you lost the final game of the season,a playoff game no less, and now possibly lose your first game of the season 🤮😂😁🤣😂😁🤣
IDK that chiefs defense gonna get better and don't sleep on that DB they drafted in the later rounds I said we was gonna beat them 49-3 in the Superbowl nope we lost 25-23 game winning drive by Patrick Mahomes good luck on wishing a blowout because if y'all lose again to them your gonna be fucking livid 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
It's weird how everyone will agree that Lamar is a 1 of 1 unicorn but demand that he beats the Chiefs as a pocket passer. A win is a win and that's all that matters.
Nick what you don't know which you will know is what is going to be shocking! I'll give you a clue of many. Patrick will have 05 to1 sec to get rid of the ball. And with that he won't be able to run like before.
The two number 1 seeds mean a bye week in. The playoff. Means you won the first game essentially. It means you beat enough teams and the best teams at that to get the bye. They are automatic wins due to your accomplishments. I know it doesn’t go towards record but people act like Lamar was given the bye for free Just because he’s Lamar. He got it because he beat your team and most likely beat them pretty bad.
The only hope the league has is the Cincinnati Bengals. Ravens loss to much in the off-season, Derrick Henry isn't enough, and everyone else fears the Chiefs, the Bengals will be the only team this season too beat the Chiefs this season. The Bills, the Ravens, Houston, will all take drastic steps back.
If the Ravens win, they'll have to expose their hand, and you can bet KC will be ready for them if they meet in the playoffs. If they lose, then there's that negative feeling as to we just can't be the CHIEFS.
Lmao Nick def scared of Ravens. Ravens will be pissed about the banner and will play harder, and Nick knows this lol. Also Derrick Henry will be fresh and healthy and motivated to do well for his new team. And Chiefs won't have Rashee Rice. I think Baltimore is probably pumped about getting first crack at the Chiefs and possibly ruining their banner night. And I'm not a Ravens fan.
@@cloutboibrent212Most of those wins came when Mahomes had a super team with a prime Tyreek Hill and Kelce and Lamar’s best weapon would at best be 3rd best target on the Chiefs. This is Lamar’s first year with a HOF caliber weapon on his side in Derrick Henry and Chiefs are gonna be cooked
@@truthbearer7891 Except those years were when Mahomes had a much weaker defense. Now Mahomes is helped immensely by his defense. This lightens the burden that Mahomes has to play to drag his team to victory.
I think this is the game of the year for the Chiefs because the Chiefs are going to win and let Josh Joe and who ever else thinking there better then Patrick I feel sorry for ya ?
This is kind of a dumb take. I think Baltimore should want to play Chiefs early, as one, Chiefs might start slow, as they have last few years, before getting in their offensive stride in week 3 or 4. Then also, first week everyone is going to be working out what the new tackle rule is, and how you can tackle, and how you can't, so that's a big fucking bonus for Derick fucking Henry.
nick literally changes words to make his point true, nobody’s take was they “let lamar cook” so they lost, the take is that he ran into the best defense in the league (nicks words) and they didn’t take advantage of what they were given, they were running on them bad, and didn’t take advantage of that, that isn’t a lamar diss, nick doesn’t even make sense
This is the problem with sports analysis. The over reliance on past performance . The way I see it , you have to beat good teams to be a Superbowl champ . Kansas City is tge reigning Champ they will not win every Superbowl going forward . Change is the only certainty in sports .
Nick just taking way too far, maybe the Ravens say ok we’re gonna run the ball more but he’s acting like if they decided to do that then that means they don’t trust Lamar at all, Lamar elite is a duel threat QB things are better for him when the run game is good, he runs the ball and then add in a few big throwing plays , triple threat
This is the only topic that Nick annoys me about the weird dislike for the Lamar and the denial of what the Ravens are, I’m fine with him being a chief and mahomes guy but the takes be weird
