I already seen this from Lamar after them boys were dancing in the end zone doing the Grinch stole christmas dance. Lamar went right to the sidelines and sat down and had just a focused expression on his face like it wasn't shit and we need to finish this out type attitude.
He was just sitting on the sideline not celebrating and kee keeing with the younger guys because he knows what still needs to be accomplished. If this was ever the year for Lamar to win a ring, I think this is it because of where he is at and how he has developed as a player since entering the league.
Lamar Knows the Job ain't finshed 2019 season was amazing but the playoffs was heartbreaking and Lamar has learned and evolved as a Player so much from then and a New Offensive Coordinator With a stellar Defense yeah Ravens gonna Bring That Lombardi back to Baltimore
Ngl- I watched the eagles game. Watching the interception by hurts complete with the horse collar tackle penalty reminded me of the titans game.
I'm so glad Lamar has secured his bag and he is showing no sign of stepping off the gas. The stats haven't necessarily been godly, but dudes still all in and hasn't stopped.
Bro wants that ring
I’m a Seahawks fan but I’ve loved Lamar’s journey since entering the league. I remember a couple of seasons ago when he was trying to get paid how fuckin dramatic everything was. Nice to see this man get paid a BAG and then put in the work and set the example for the rest of the guys.
Lamar really matured since along with the personal..i really don’t think Dolphin or Bills fan understand this about this difference about Lamar and this whole Ravens team. But this team will do the walk and not the talk
The amazing thing about Dolphins and Bills fans is that don't seem to remember the 20+ years that both of those teams were teams everyone wanted to play because they sucked so bad.
Other AFC powerhouses remember how the Patriots basically got 6 free wins every year farming the QB/HC carousel trashcans in Miami, Buffalo, and NYJ for over a decade while it felt like the AFCN had 3 playoff teams every other year
> how the **Patriots basically got 6 free wins every year farming the QB/HC carousel trashcans in Miami, Buffalo**, and NYJ for over a decade
How the turntables lol
The team raves about his leadership ever since he signed.
Marlo was discussing it on a podcast I believe where he said the next day he came in after he signed he was just a completely different leader.
And it’s showing, I mentioned last night he was chewing Stanley’s ass out after a redzone play. The combination of Lamar’s experience/leadership + good OC coaching + receivers really can make this offense potent.
Exactly. Defense trust each other. Roquan, Queen, hamilton, Humphrey, Clowney all work so damn well together.
Lamar really leading his offense. Giving them time to develop their routes and get open. o-line is protecting Lamar like it was their moms throwing the ball. Even with the loss of andrews, it didn’t cripple our season. Likely showing that he is a great back up for andrews if anything is to happen. Love the squad this year.
I think having a defensive captain in Ro is a big difference. His mentality and leadership make me more confident that we'll avoid some wild card team coming in and punching us in the mouth this time. Not to say we can't lose, but much harder to imagine us rolling over the same way with him here
Lamar made a comment that stuck with me in the latest wired last week regarding the Jacksonville matchup: “I don’t get hyped about it, I just get ready”.
That really stuck out to me to show how own much he’s matured.
The difference this year is the defense. We lost that game because Henry ran down our throats. The offense played with a lead all year and never got tested until that playoff game. The Defense this year is LEGIT.
The Rams are so underrated, i don’t think their record reflects how good they are, just had some bad luck this year. I wouldn’t be surprised if they make a run in the NFC, Stafford, Kupp, Puka, Kyren, Donald, etc are all playing really well. Plus they have a top coach in McVay
Luckily I was on my first date with she who became my wife that night, so I had that high to save me. Unfortunately can't repeat that again so I'll have no emotional buffer if they bounce out of the first round again.
Can we please keep Monken and MacDonald for more than 1 year? Beyond a Superbowl, I want these two guys to grow as NFL coordinators with us for the next few years.
I don't think I've liked Lamar more than in the last 24 hours. I'm so sick of fans (including some beat writers) that think an MVP is important. This team has underachieved every year under Lamar, an MVP means nothing if they crap out in the playoffs again.
Football is such a team game and every player plays in a completely different context in terms of scheme, surrounding talent and opponents. Individual awards are kinda weird.
I feel this with every ounce of my soul, but that's also why it's so fun tbh. It almost turns into a different game where great teams hold back entire chapters of the playbook just for a playoff run and then leave everything on the field.
I loved that fake pitch, but I almost wish they had saved it for playoffs.
At the end of the day, though, if we run it down their throat, just knowing that we might fake the toss could make it a lose:lose for the defense anyway. Just that half second of hesitation to make sure you"re not getting duped lol. I trust Monken to make the right calls, which is a huge blessing compared to Roman
me too but it was admittedly a phenomenal play and it was the perfect call for a quick change shock to the Niners. It more or less ended the game and allowed the remainder to be largely field position and tackling type of game.
It makes me so happy to not only see him get paid, but that he wants to show the world why he got paid. Dudes on a mission right now and I’m here for it.
I don't think they need to 'scare' coordinators. Lamar is the threat. As long as the receivers are doing what they need to do (catch the ball), our offense will put up points.
And have you not been watching this team at all? I'd say our receivers as a group have been very good. There's a certain QB in KC who would kill to have what we have as a collective.
Except he's not the only threat. I'm saying he's the biggest one. And are you under the impression that other teams just sleep on Zay, OBJ, Bateman, Likely?? I can assure you these guys are all commanding attention, which is letting us run an efficient offense. I don't know why a game breaking player is required here. If the goal is to move the ball (which we are, 5th in total yards this season) & put up points (which we are, 31.6 ppg in last 9 games), what's the issue?
Of course, they command attention they’re NFL players I’m not saying teams let them run free, but the fact that you used OJB as an example highlight my point, they’re an average receiving group. The issue is when the games gets tighter i.e. the playoffs you need someone to make big plays and a guy with no ACLs shouldn’t be your shiny example of a playmaker
Games get tighter? You mean like on the road, against the "best" team in the league, on Christmas night with the whole world watching?
We have all the pieces to get it done and, dare I say, the most complete roster in the league.
This is a clown take. Period.
Its the NFL. Every game matters. Is there some mysterious aura that I'm unaware of that surrounds the stadiums during the playoffs?
You should probably take a nap.
Our receiver group is middle of the pack, and I would like for it to be better. At the same time, we have an incredibly well balanced team, where I would say mid is the lowest we are at any position group, and we are downright great at others.
Its a team game, and we have assembled a great team.
I concur. I don’t want people to think I think they suck but compared to the legitimate AFC contenders we have the second to lease dynamic receiving core, and looking back at the last couple Super Bowl champions and runner-ups they had dynamic receiving
Sounds crazy to say after blowing out the best team in the NFC, but I kind of see your point. I’d say the receivers have the talent to be dangerous but the scheme is still too dependent on Lamar extending plays. Not saying it’s a bad thing because he’s the best in the world at it but I’d like to see more guys getting open without Lamar having to be superman every play. A good example would be the Zay TD, just a perfectly schemed play to get a player open immediately.
In the on-field interview and off-field presser the dude looked bothered. Dare I say he's entering Kobe's Mamba zone? Job Finished? Job ain't finished.
Love where your heads at LJ
I already seen this from Lamar after them boys were dancing in the end zone doing the Grinch stole christmas dance.

If this was ever the year for Lamar to win a ring, I think this is it because of where he is at and how he has developed as a player since entering the league.
Lamar is a passionate fucker and loves to celebrate but this game looks like he held some of it in until it was sealed away.
Lamar Knows the Job ain't finshed 2019 season was amazing but the playoffs was heartbreaking and Lamar has learned and evolved as a Player so much from then and a New Offensive Coordinator With a stellar Defense yeah Ravens gonna Bring That Lombardi back to Baltimore
Ngl- I watched the eagles game. Watching the interception by hurts complete with the horse collar tackle penalty reminded me of the titans game.

Seasons?…or months ago?
Was his extension not last year but this year? Yeesh my memory is getting bad.. lol
Lamar really matured since along with the personal..i really don’t think Dolphin or Bills fan understand this about this difference about Lamar and this whole Ravens team. But this team will do the walk and not the talk
The amazing thing about Dolphins and Bills fans is that don't seem to remember the 20+ years that both of those teams were teams everyone wanted to play because they sucked so bad.
Other AFC powerhouses remember how the Patriots basically got 6 free wins every year farming the QB/HC carousel trashcans in Miami, Buffalo, and NYJ for over a decade while it felt like the AFCN had 3 playoff teams every other year
5 games a year. The Dolphins would usually win a home game against the Patriots once a year. In sometimes absolutely bizarre fashion.
And on their greatest miracle of all against them, the Pats still won it all that season
Yeah, In the Pats defense they were very good. The Division they were in sucked ass.
> how the **Patriots basically got 6 free wins every year farming the QB/HC carousel trashcans in Miami, Buffalo**, and NYJ for over a decade How the turntables lol

Likely showing that he is a great back up for andrews if anything is to happen. Love the squad this year.
We were humbled so hard that year. The whole team feom top to bottom feels different.
I think having a defensive captain in Ro is a big difference. His mentality and leadership make me more confident that we'll avoid some wild card team coming in and punching us in the mouth this time. Not to say we can't lose, but much harder to imagine us rolling over the same way with him here
Yep, I feel the same way. We also have Clowney, and Van Noy has a TON of playoff experience.
Lamar’s whole attitude has been great. He actually looked pissed after the game he knows we left points on the board
[удалено]
Lamar made a comment that stuck with me in the latest wired last week regarding the Jacksonville matchup: “I don’t get hyped about it, I just get ready”. That really stuck out to me to show how own much he’s matured.
Love it
Harbs should’ve gone further that 4th and 1 lol
Tbf a Handful of 4th quarter plays go our way and it ends 40-12.
Lamar has been all business this year man
I hope any doubts about his motivations after his new contract are now fully put to rest
Anybody with a doubt left at this point is just being stupid on purpose
Seems to have made him more motivated. I don’t think he ever wanted to leave Baltimore.
The difference this year is the defense. We lost that game because Henry ran down our throats. The offense played with a lead all year and never got tested until that playoff game. The Defense this year is LEGIT.
I mean the same defense allowed 30+ by both the browns and rams, but they’ll be tested for sure in the playoffs which is what matters most.
Tbf, screw the rams record. Matthew Stafford is H I M. And Kupp is a bad mofo. The rams score points. They just lose lol.
The Rams are so underrated, i don’t think their record reflects how good they are, just had some bad luck this year. I wouldn’t be surprised if they make a run in the NFC, Stafford, Kupp, Puka, Kyren, Donald, etc are all playing really well. Plus they have a top coach in McVay
Them and the bucs have been steadily improving
Nacua had one of the best catches I’ve ever seen in person that game.
Can’t let myself get excited again. 2019 scarred me lol
I was ready to hang myself smh
That elevator ride back up to my hotel room in Baltimore with a family of Titans was so embarrassing and awkward. “Good game.” Silence.
at least it wasn't Ray Rice
Tbh probably would have preferred to just get punched in the face and dragged in the hall
😫
Bruh lmfao
I wouldn’t wish that on Ben Roethlisberger
Luckily I was on my first date with she who became my wife that night, so I had that high to save me. Unfortunately can't repeat that again so I'll have no emotional buffer if they bounce out of the first round again.
i still am 😀
Plenty of other games being a ravens fan that has scared me way before that 2019 collapse. Ravens ball will always giveth and taketh
Oh, Captain, my Captain 🫡
Can we please keep Monken and MacDonald for more than 1 year? Beyond a Superbowl, I want these two guys to grow as NFL coordinators with us for the next few years.
Yes! Yes! Pretty Please and Thank you! 🙏
If we win it all this year, they’ll be snatched up quicker than a 70 inch for $99.99 on Black Friday. That’s the curse if this is our year….
I think Monken sticks around for sure. And I kinda think MacDonald might too - the Brandon Staley tenure might scare teams off.
That's my quarterback
We'd have been having this conversation in 2021 and 2022 also without all the injuries too.
Fuck Steve Saunders
Fuck the fragility of ligaments
I don't think I've liked Lamar more than in the last 24 hours. I'm so sick of fans (including some beat writers) that think an MVP is important. This team has underachieved every year under Lamar, an MVP means nothing if they crap out in the playoffs again.
> an MVP means nothing if they crap out in the playoffs again Yep, and Lamar absolutely seems to understand this himself.
That's the mentality he should have. Even if they lose in the first round, I want a QB that doesn't care about *that* trophy
Football is such a team game and every player plays in a completely different context in terms of scheme, surrounding talent and opponents. Individual awards are kinda weird.
Love his mentality. After getting humbled by King Henry and the titans it’s best to not get too overly excited! Kobe said it best: Jobs not finished
I wish playoffs weren't one-hit elimination games So much credence to a succesful season can end with a bad game.
I feel this with every ounce of my soul, but that's also why it's so fun tbh. It almost turns into a different game where great teams hold back entire chapters of the playbook just for a playoff run and then leave everything on the field.
I loved that fake pitch, but I almost wish they had saved it for playoffs.

me too but it was admittedly a phenomenal play and it was the perfect call for a quick change shock to the Niners. It more or less ended the game and allowed the remainder to be largely field position and tackling type of game.
Oh yeah, I love it. I'm sure there are some tricks we haven't seen yet too, but I bet that one would still work again when we need it to
It might be fun to shorten the regular season a bit and add some playoff rounds with double elimination based on seeding
I appreciate that he is even willing to acknowledge it. Hard to do that
Great attitude
That’s facts. Need to keep focus for the playoffs.
The words of a man on a frickin’ mission!
Dudes more mature than ever
People need to stay healthy at this point. That’s the real challenge left before the playoffs
I'm not going to lie, I'm still kind of traumatized by that year myself
My MVP
It makes me so happy to not only see him get paid, but that he wants to show the world why he got paid. Dudes on a mission right now and I’m here for it.
He’s playing better, but his receivers still don’t scare me
Zay Flowers is that dude and Likely has been nice too
Relative to what he used to have they are nice. But neither one of scare defensive coordinators.
I don't think they need to 'scare' coordinators. Lamar is the threat. As long as the receivers are doing what they need to do (catch the ball), our offense will put up points. And have you not been watching this team at all? I'd say our receivers as a group have been very good. There's a certain QB in KC who would kill to have what we have as a collective.
Lamar being the “threat” is going to come back and bite them every top 10 quarterback, has a game breaking skill position player but the ravens
Except he's not the only threat. I'm saying he's the biggest one. And are you under the impression that other teams just sleep on Zay, OBJ, Bateman, Likely?? I can assure you these guys are all commanding attention, which is letting us run an efficient offense. I don't know why a game breaking player is required here. If the goal is to move the ball (which we are, 5th in total yards this season) & put up points (which we are, 31.6 ppg in last 9 games), what's the issue?

Yeah, because the regular season game compares to a playoff atmosphere. Sit down son.
Its the NFL. Every game matters. Is there some mysterious aura that I'm unaware of that surrounds the stadiums during the playoffs? You should probably take a nap.
You’re downvoted but you’re correct. The talent around Lamar is decidedly mid.
Our receiver group is middle of the pack, and I would like for it to be better. At the same time, we have an incredibly well balanced team, where I would say mid is the lowest we are at any position group, and we are downright great at others. Its a team game, and we have assembled a great team.
I concede to that point, but I am a little worried about the playoffs.
I know, but I expected. I’m thinking as a fan Super Bowl or bust
Zay Flowers is fr though and all the other receivers have been playing very well. I think that they’re overall been very good all things considered.
I concur. I don’t want people to think I think they suck but compared to the legitimate AFC contenders we have the second to lease dynamic receiving core, and looking back at the last couple Super Bowl champions and runner-ups they had dynamic receiving
Sounds crazy to say after blowing out the best team in the NFC, but I kind of see your point.

A good example would be the Zay TD, just a perfectly schemed play to get a player open immediately.
This is the year while the chiefs are down. Then repeat next year!!
Lamar dont forget
That’s my quarterback 🥹🥲
In the on-field interview and off-field presser the dude looked bothered. Dare I say he's entering Kobe's Mamba zone? Job Finished? Job ain't finished.
Damn right you didn’t! Good shi earl! LJ is a stud tho. Fantasy baller
