 Missing Link, next question came from my guy George. He said, what's up in Greenville team? Keep it clean fam. I hope you and your family are doing well. Yeah, I appreciate it, George. He said, so after the heartbreaking loss to the Chiefs, I believe it showcases a huge need for the Ravens organization. You may have never heard this before, but the Ravens need a wide receiver, LOL. I know you and I have agreed a lot on the wide opposition. Zay is gonna be a playmaker. And I still have faith in Bateman through this upcoming year, will determine his future with the franchise. I know that you won at DHOP last season, as I did too. I was Zay being here for the foreseeable future and bait with us for another year. Let's say we re-signed Agalor to a modest extension as a debt piece and go and get that big buy to receive a free agency and sign Mike Evans. We are gonna need a running back as well, but imagine lining up with Andrews and likely at tight end with Zay Flowers, Mike Evans, Bateman and Agalor and Evans replacing Odell Beckham Jr. That will give us an option we don't have on the boundaries. I know that's when the wide receiver in the off season will be a new concept for this organization, LOL. But I believe we will finally get it right. And then we will have the best receiving corp this franchise has ever seen. Get a tackle early in the draft, another running back to Pamela Keaton in a corner in the mid rounds and I believe we will have an AFC championship rematch next year versus the Chiefs. Sorry for the Ravens' need to why I receive a question, but what seems ongoing for a decade now, but I truly believe he would put us over the top. Oh man, Mike Evans would, that would be amazing. Because Mike Evans is, yeah, he's liked that. Now, with his 1,000 yards being Jeopardy, being with the Baltimore Ravens. No, I think he could get it. He's somebody that's worked with Todd Munkin before. Couldn't remember, offensive coordinator's name for a second. But he's somebody that's worked with him before so there's that familiarity. And Mike Evans is just productive, straight up. He's a producer, he makes plays, makes catches, gets yak, gets yak in a different way. Not does they flowers kind of yak? I mean, really, who gets it like that, really? Maybe not even Tyree Hill does the same thing, but then this is in a different way. Tyree Hill uses more speed. Agility's there too, for sure. But Tyree Hill uses more speed, they flowers like that. Agility is crazy, it's like through the roof. But anyway, Mike Evans would be amazing because if you have, and with all the guys that you mentioned too, with Mike Evans and his eight flowers, and Rasha Baby, and still Nelson Aguilore, and still likely he got Mark Angus too in the running band. So yeah, Mike Evans would do great for the Baltimore Ravens. He would be a great piece for the Baltimore Ravens and he would just, he would make them that much more powerful. New Year, same problem. Next question came from my guy, Evan. He said, I ain't gravy, I hope you and the family are well amidst this day, but here's my thoughts. There's a lot that goes into the loss against the Kansas City Chiefs. Number one, there were lack of calls on KC side. That could have been taunting from them and maybe two PIs that should have went our way. Number two, there were a lot of fair calls where we showed a lack of discipline, all the roughing calls, unnecessary roughness, et cetera. Number three, there were a lot of mistakes with our turnovers. He was very upset because in that part of the question, he did not keep it clean. Come on now, man. Anyway, number four, bad offensive play calling is what killed us. Number one, Russian offense against the bottom 16, Russian defense, and only eight running calls played. Only eight running plays called, excuse me. Biggest takeaway this game was very much given to the Chiefs we threw. It's just like with peak Brady era, we know they're gonna get calls their way, but we have to stay disciplined and true to our game. Can't set up a defense without setting up the run, which we've had ample opportunity to. But nope, bad play calling and lack of discipline lost this for us, yeah. Made it easy for the Chiefs. We beat ourselves that game by not utilizing the run game in which we had a very clear advantage and love my Ravens, love team keeping clean, but we got to be consistent with our strengths. Can't play the way the media wants us to. We have to play our game. Shout out to Nyan, the great, and yeah. Ravens didn't play that game, and they got beaten bad. Was everybody right about Lamar? Next question came from my god, Jair. Is this Jair Alexander? Could it be? Anyway, they said, I ain't great, I'll be doing well after this heartbreaking loss. I'm questioning if everyone was right about Lamar Jackson after this game. I'm puzzled by the repeated playoff struggles, especially when comparing to Mahomes, Allen, and Burroughs, amazing and sustained performances in the postseason. I know it's not solely Lamar's fault, but I can't grasp why he faces pressure differently. Is it coaching, play calling, or the need for perfection? We had better weapons than the Chiefs offensively and still lost. The playoff losses feel frustratingly similar each time, making me wonder if Lamar can't progress like his peers. I'm lost. Is it Lamar coaching or organizational factors? The uncertainty is getting to me. I'm starting to believe the doubts about Lamar might be valid. The losses feel the same and I can't pinpoint the common denominator. What do you think it is? Lamar coaching, hubs, or culture? I think it is a mix of all of it. All have certainly had their struggles in the playoffs, but in my opinion, I think it starts at the top. Who are your leaders on this team? Who runs this team? If I ask you the question, who runs this team? Who runs the Baltimore Raven? Would you say it's a player, or would you say it's a coach? I'm assuming, just assuming that your answer would be a coach and that answer would be Jonathan Harbaugh. And if that is your answer, then I would think somebody who runs the show, somebody who calls the shots, somebody who makes the decisions, they would realize and recognize what's going on and what's not going on, what's working and what's not working. And they would address it right then and there, especially come playoff time. Now I know John likes to let his coordinator coordinate and I get that. But sometimes if you don't wanna be a micromanager, that's cool, but you still gotta step in at times. And then with Lamar Jackson, Lamar Jackson, you gotta make some better decisions in playoff times. If you're talking about how some of the playoff games are eerily similar, you think about the Bills game from 2020. You think about the pick six that was thrown, cause they call the same play two times in a row. On the previous play, I think either Hollywood was open, I think, or Mark Andrews, or one of them two was open. But Lamar got pressured. And then later in completion, they ran the same exact play back to back. Then he threw the pick six. And that's points right there. That literally takes the minimum of three points away. And of course it could have been seven, but it changes it into zero. And it actually is a seven point swing because it's a pick six, cause they scored a touchdown off of it. And then you think about that Isaiah likely, or the interception with that one. While it should have been passing the fans, it should have been. It was not a good decision. He threw it into one to triple coverage on that one. So that's the part that's on Lamar Jackson. And when you talk about coaching, I mean we talked about that already. Culture, it's weird because the Baltimore Ravens culture, it is and has been based off of defense. It's obviously been a lot of offense now recently too, especially under Lamar Jackson, but their culture is also running the ball. It's running the ball. So the Ravens, they didn't even use their culture in the playoff game. Next question came from Brandon. He said, I know that's a lot of people been saying Lamar is not capable of winning a playoff game or anything. Do you think this is true? No, he literally won a playoff game this year. He literally did. So I mean that X is that out already. He's won a playoff game before. He's won another one this year. So no, that's of course that's not true. There's some people within my family state that also, how do you believe 2025 will go for the Baltimore Ravens? Oh, you're already thinking two years ahead. We got to get to 2024 first. Well, you already think it, but I'm sure you meant the 2024 season. He said, will we come out on top next season? What are your thoughts there? I would hope so, but it's gonna be one of those things we're seeing as believing. I'm with a lot of Ravens fans. I'm not the most confident in the Baltimore Ravens moving forward. I would love if they won a Super Bowl, of course, but my confidence for them, especially playoff time, especially in tough games, especially against the Chiefs, my confidence for them is not through the roof right now because of what we've continued to see. It's very hard to be confident in the Baltimore Ravens moving forward. They're not the most confident in the Baltimore Ravens moving forward because of everything. So, if they change stuff like in regular season, we could see them make adjustments. We saw it this year. We saw them make adjustments, but we saw them not give up leads. We saw them fix stuff. We saw them go through all these positive changes in the regular season this year. We're like, oh yeah, let's go. Then even in the playoffs that first game, it was like, oh yeah, they continue to do it. But then against the Chiefs, against Patrick Holmes, against Andy Reed, yeah, they did that. They did the exact opposite of everything that worked. So, and it was frustrating. It was frustrating to watch. It's frustrating to sit there and sit through that. So, I would hope they come out on top, but my confidence ain't through the roof right now. Next question came from Sebastian. He said, 2023 playoffs, RB1, JK Dobbins, let out his frustrations of not getting the ball more in the run first offense versus the Bengals. 2024 playoffs, different offensive coordinator, six carries for the running backs versus a D-line with a Hopper Chris Jones and no Willie Gay. Oh, I forgot that Willie Gay was out too. This, he said after they just ran, after they just got ran over for over 200 yards a previous week, this isn't an offensive coordinator problem. This is a hardball problem. I'm sick of hearing, yeah, we could have done this that every loss. You are the head coach. If Steve Barshotti can't do the move because he's buddy buddy with him, then we at the end of the ball will just have to watch years of regular season success and wait for the inevitable coaching collapse in the playoffs. See, that's what I was saying too. It's, again, regular season, we're not scared of that. We're not worried about that. Regular season, we're like, oh, yeah, regular season, we got that, we straight. It's the playoffs, man. Playoffs, it just, because again, we could have the nicest teams like we had this year. Got the nicest squad, got health on our side and then they go out and do that. If they go out and do that with a great team, how can we really have confidence that things won't be different or things will be different moving forward? It's really hard too, man. It really is. Oh, and to tag along with the previous question, this was obviously something before this move was official. He said, P.S. promote Mike Mack to head coach. He actually has a brain. Zero points allowed on the second half against Mahomes, sheesh. Then he said also playoff Kyle Hamilton is slowly reaching playoff Ed Reid status. Kyle Hamilton is just amazing. He just, he's amazing at everything. He's just like, I can't call him a perfect player because like he'll have his hiccups because he gave up that touchdown to Travis Kelsy. Even though like Mahomes put that in a perfect spot, man. Cause Kyle Hamilton was all over Travis Kelsy. But when Mahomes put it, only Kelsy could get. Oh, man, that was like, I couldn't be mad at Kyle Hamilton for that one. Cause he was all over Travis Kelsy but Patrick Mahomes put it perfectly. Then he said also it looks like our overconfident rookie got humbled. Yikes. I mean, just try to make a play. Got the ball knocked out and that was that. Next question came from my guy, Jack. He said, do you think we should trade? Come on now, man. What are we doing? What are we doing? He said, do you think we should trade Lamar to a bad team and draft the rookie quarterback? No. Wow, wow. Come on now. We not, we not going back to these. We're not doing this. What are we? Let's continue though. He said, the reason I say this is because Lamar has had so many chances to win it all 2019 blew it. 2020 to 2022 seasons taking uneasy hits and this year he was finally healthy again and blew it. I am done with Lamar. I think we have got to keep mad at BK and coordinators at all costs. In addition, we will probably lose so many pending free agents or honestly, depending on who we lose, we need to draft and sign the wide receivers. O-line secondary D-line edge rushers as well as running back. Anyway, I think the blame pie starts with Lamar. Safe flowers, Todd Monk and John Harbaugh and then the defense to add on. This was probably the easiest chance to win it all. Obviously, winning it all is never easy but so many teams and quarterbacks were having up and down seasons. Next year, so many teams are gonna be better. We will have a harder schedule. Anyway, sorry for the long question. We'll have to hear your thoughts on this. And no, no. Trade Lamar Jackson, no. Just signed him to a big deal, no. He has been the most amazing quarterback in Raven's history. No. And look at, that's not a shot at Joe Flacco. Can I know somebody? Can I say, not a shot at Joe Flacco. Joe Flacco, obviously the most accomplished Baltimore Ravens quarterback in Raven's history. Well, with the Super Bowl, he's the most, he has the most playoff accomplishments. I gotta say that, because Lamar individual accomplishments as far as the two MVP's are the million records, but Flacco playoff accomplishments because all the playoff wins Super Bowl and Super Bowl MVP too. So it's nice that our most recent two quarterbacks, they've done that thing. Now we're waiting for Lamar to just get over that playoff hump, but by trading him, no. I don't think that would be a good idea for the Baltimore Ravens at all. At all. For them to start from scratch, I just do not think it would be a wise move.
