 to look back at it but at 13-7 you would have felt pretty good I mean I was thinking of taking the Jets just because of two things you know the Jets would try to play hard on national television the Ravens would never really be in doubt but you worry about the second thing the backdoor cover because I figured Jackson would get taken out of as a blow and I was surprised he stayed in the game why was he still in the game unless this injury was Fugazi to begin with he didn't look like he really wasn't that hurt and into his credit he said he was a hundred so he obviously was telling the truth but I'm just wondering if this injury was really anything at all but I can't kill the Jets today they're on the road on a Thursday against a team that I agree with Peter I think they're the best team in football you know we'll see what happens with the 49ers and we'll see what happens with the Patriots but right now this is the team to beat their home on national television and here's the dangerous thing about the Ravens they're so good but yet there could be enough doubters about the quarterback and enough believers in the Patriots where they could still have a chip on their shoulder I think that's why they're covering because they still think they have something to prove because there are some people that doubt the quarterback the doubt when push comes to shove they can beat the Patriots at a big spot and I think that's gonna embolden them to make a run right to the Super Bowl why do you not believe in yourself you said you're gonna pick the Ravens till they let you down I mean you don't even believe in yourself if you don't believe in yourself who do you believe in Peter you know what it's a great point I'm ashamed it would I would have been sitting here I should have thrown three points on I'd be sitting here relaxed oh cigar I don't know how you guys feel I I hate the slate of games oh my god it's awful awful slate of games so it's like you laid off a team that's been scorching hot and has done nothing but cover and now I'm looking at the picks this week and it's and as we know it's moving day yet again yeah it's another big week and I'm disappointed and RJ gave us a winner he said take them in the first half now it it got a little hairy there's driving but they got it they got it they got it was nine and he thought it was seven how about this how about this they cover in the first half they cover in the second half they hit the over everything you could have bet on the Ravens yesterday I think I think Lamar Jackson hit the over on yards certainly hit the over on touchdowns I I just find these stats to be so unique that he's throwing for such a low number of passes at one point yesterday they said he's completed 13 passes he's thrown for four touchdowns it's just bizarre numbers it's a really unique thing and also I said this earlier in the season this team the Ravens have always been great with free agents I mean how good is Ingram to have I mean what what a weapon they have what they did was a lot of teams don't do this they have a quarterback with a certain skill set and they built around them they they brought the people in they brought tight ends in that can block and also catch the passes out of the back out of the backfield they brought in running backs that can you know Jackson could either put it in their stomach pull it back that they built around their specific skill set and teams don't do that the Bears haven't done that with Trubitsky and the bottom line is the Eagles haven't done that the last couple years of whence either you've got to build around the skill set of your quarterback it's like with Eli they didn't build the great offensive line when Eli was a quarterback and Eli can't move so you have to know what you have and the Ravens knew what they had and give them even more credit because they had their forever quarterback and Flacco and they had no issues whatsoever to make the transition and there wasn't a lot there you remember go back to the playoffs it was like well we're not really sure about this guy they they believed and they were able to move on from Flacco who had won them a Super Bowl who was a forever Raven and said we can be better that's something the Giants never did I mean the Giants wanted to hold on to get one more free like one more free like people there was a time I know it to me it sounds crazy now there was a time where the Flacco Eli thing got thrown around quite a bit of them being in a similar category talent-wise and I think Eli is of course the better player the clutch player although don't forget Joe Flacco's playoff numbers are astounding they are career-wise so but you're right they knew the time it was and he could still go get a paycheck somewhere else it's not like they screwed him over he went and got money and they got to move on to Lamar Jackson and I'll tell you this this may be the biggest announcement you hear on the show today this is big news in the world of sports oh wow I am see everybody got quiet yeah you can tell they care I am affirmatively rooting for the Ravens in the playoffs this year why because I want a team to root for Robert Griffin the Thursday back up quarterback I'm not fighting with the people in my area the people who left the Redskins were smart I should have done it instead I'm stuck with my terrible team but guess what I'm not fighting with my friends who root for the Ravens I'm just going I'm not I'm not gonna buy a shirt you might not no I would never do that I can't do it in full about a nationals hat yeah but I always had nationals hats I'm from DC I'm not from Baltimore I'm not buying anything Ravens but I am affirmatively hoping Robert Griffin the third wins a Super Bowl with the Ravens and I will enjoy watching them they have they're a pretty magical team and if we get a rematch from that Ravens 49ers game from a few weeks ago that would be an incredible Super Bowl and you know what I love in a sports time where it's all about let's judge everything quarter by quarter Lamar Jackson could not have been worse in the in the playoffs last year could not have been worse he looked hapless he looked like he was lost that he had no future did they bag him did they give up on them absolutely they doubled down on him and they made it easier for him and now he's gonna win the MVP of the league and they might win the Super Bowl that's why when you have a good coach and you have a good structure you know we throw that word around again it's a hockey term now structure gotta have structure in the game structure in our culture well when you have a good coach and you have the right people pushing the right buttons you could say all right our quarterback is broken we're gonna fix them instead of getting rid of them bring in and somebody else we're gonna put in a system as you said bring in the right guys for the skill set of the player that we have and when you're not flying by the seat of your pants trying to make bad coaching out of something that this is a well-coached team there's a team that that the foundation that was set by Ozzie do some in Baltimore there is a culture there that just seems to work and when you don't have it and certainly the Jets and John Jets we're gonna have to wait and see Giants clearly don't have it right now and that's the difference now
