If I was a Ravens fan, I'd also be mad about the lack of urgency on that last drive. I get that they wanted to drain the clock so the Bengals couldn't retake the lead, but when you're offensively challenged as a team, you score when you can and let the defense do their job.

Once Jonah Williams went down the Bengals didn't have much time to throw and the Ravens defense shut them down in the 2nd half.

Agreed!!!

I've always been a big fan of Lamar Jackson and vocal supporter of him but him not playing the last quarter of the past 2 seasons is sketchy for a QB who wants a big contract.

I have to question how many big name QBs would have played with a similar injury and have in the past! Lamar Jackson has shown that he can only be effective when fully healthy because the run game is 70% of his game!

The final straw for me and the reason I want to trade him for draft picks ala Russell Wilson or creepy Watson is he wasn't at the game!!! What so called leader of a team in the playoffs doesn't even travel with his team? Moral support, motivation or simply cheering for the team should be a given in that situation...IMO!!!

It's not like the Derek Carr situation where they ask him not to be around!!

The Lamar Jackson era in Baltimore is over, we had our shot in 2019 when he won MVP and we had the #1 seed and he choked versus the Chargers of all teams!!!

Ship him to New York and let the Jets ruin him for the next couple of years!!!

Bad thing about getting rid of Lamar is what to do next. Do you ride with Huntley, keeping the same offense, or do you overhaul the offense when you get a "conventional" QB? That offense was built for Lamar's strengths and if he's not there, that's a problem as we've seen.

The offense has 2 solid RBs and an elite TE with a run based OL so yes we need help at WR and Bateman who got hurt looks promising.

If Lamar goes then Greg Roman the OC goes too since he has always sacked at passing while being the best Run OC out there next to Shanahan.

****, trade Lamar for 3 1st and sign Brady for a season. Promise him he can name the new OC and draft a WR plus a WR would finally want to sign with Baltimore.

That's another issue with having Lamar, no bigtime WR is gonna sign for a team that runs the ball for 3000 yards a season.

If not Brady then sign Carr, Jimmy G. or even Baker Mayfield then use these extra picks to draft a QB.

I know, why would Brady or any other QB want to sign with Baltimore? Top 10 defense led my Roquan Smith plus elite running game means an OC worth his weight can design a play action pass offense with some bite to it which isn't Greg Romans forte

Giants went out with a whimper while Jacksonville should be proud of their season!

Sunday I'm expecting the Bills to win due to Cincys OL issues and SF will probably knock off Dallas because Dallas will Dallas & McCarthy will McCarthy. SF is unbelievable will "Mr. Irrelevant" at QB!

Dallas can only hope Purdy plays like the last pick of the draft for the 1st time!!

KC 5 straight Conference Championship game appearances sounds like an MFN team!!!

I think Dallas has the defense to make Purdy uncomfortable.

Chiefs are on an incredible run!

I agree I also think Buffalo wins. OL and I’m curious to see if we see some controversial calls today against Cincy. NFL really wants that neutral game I think.

Henne did his job like a vet, wasn’t special though. 5/7 23 yards on a 98 yard drive. The run game was huge and that 40 yard run was the key to getting a touchdown.

Jacksonville had a great season and they’ll be back in the playoffs.

Crazy that Giants need to pay Jones & Barkley and I wonder if they can replicate the success next season.

This off-season is gonna be insane!!

Jimmy G
Brady
Carr
Lamar Jackson
Jones
Mayfield
Geno Smith
Burrow
Rodgers
Geno Smith
Hurts

All need contracts

Sean Peyton cost draft picks to head coach!

Not to mention the non-quarterbacks who will become free agents.

Orlando Brown
Daron Payne
Jessie Bates
McGlinchey
Jacob's
Pollard
Payne
Edmunds

Just to name a few!!!!
