    And they might have noticed that Jackson was a bit off to start the game.

    We don’t know that if he would have held on to the football instead of fumbling on the goal line that it would have been a 3 point game? I guess Tucker could have missed the extra point and it would have been a 4 point game.

    My theory is that the Ravens went like a full month (Dec 25 vs SF) without playing a team with a good OL/DL.

    They got soft eating cupcakes. KC punched them in the mouth and they imploded.

    Have to give a lot of props to Andy Reid. He put his players in the best position to win and capitalize on the mistakes of the Ravens. He kept them focused and calm while the opposite happened on the other side.

    any qb in the nfl can launch a football if they just throw it as hard as they can, arm talent combined with arm strength is something that a guy not known for his arm strength in cj stroud has shown to me to have light years above lamar jackson in just his rookie year

    check out this throw.. this is one of the most difficult throws i have ever seen a qb make, and cj did it on the move. Only burrow, mahomes, or josh allen can make this throw this precise

    How is a guy jumping and running over the OG a personal foul instead of a regular offsides?

    Unfortunately as a Houston fan living in MInnesota I've seen implosions like this with teams with "Houston" and "Minnesota" on their jerseys. In fact Minnesotans are still in angst as this week was the anniversary of the Vikings with Brett Favre losing in 2009. They call it here "12 men in the huddle and throw across the body"

    ya think? 24 td's and 7 interceptions.. when has those stats ever been good enough for a qb to win the mvp in the modern era. If you are gonna give the mvp to a qb this year.. then brock purdy( regardless of what you think of his skillset) or dak prescott would have been better options

    plus how many fumbles did lamar have this year..

    Best part is we don’t have to listen to Tony Romo for at least another 7 months.

    Minnesota fans understand how Ravens fans feel.
    "This is not DETROIT MAN! This is THE SUPERBOWL!!"


    So should Houston fans.

    Feel good about our loss to the Ravens. Kansas City didn’t score after half time and won the game. Their defense was lights out though . Poor Raven fans. lol atleast Lamar is MVP.

    They’ve been calling him that. Todays game just cemented it.

    Damn that's harsh, but it's true that Lamar doesn't play much defense. :D:eek:
