 So those Kansas City Chiefs are Super Bowl champions once again. They went back to back and Patrick Mahomes in the Patrick Mahomes era. The Chiefs are three time Super Bowl champions. That is crazy. Um, but they got it. They got it. They are the dynasty. They are the team that everybody's chasing right now. And the Baltimore Ravens especially. And there was some words by Chiefs player Chris Jones specifically. That really hurt us Ravens fans souls because he talked about the Kansas City Chiefs that the role to them getting here. Because as we know, normally the Kansas City Chiefs home field advantage throughout the playoffs, usually number one seed and they just the playoffs go through them. But not this year. This year they had to take a different route. He talked about how they went against the Miami Dolphins, one of the most prolific offices in the league this year. And then he talked about how they had to go against the Buffalo Bills and how that was a challenge because they had been steamrolling teams recently. But then when he spoke about the Baltimore Ravens, he said the Baltimore Ravens, he didn't say they were the best team in the AFC North. He didn't even say they were the best. Oh my goodness. They're saying it out loud too. He didn't even say they were the best team in the AFC. He didn't even say they were the best team that they went against in the playoffs this year. Well, he did say that, but he said the Baltimore Ravens were the best team in the NFL. And it wasn't a jab. It wasn't him being petty or anything like that, but it's him more so just really talking about the toughness of the schedule and the playoffs that the Chiefs had to go against and they overcame it and his words hurt though. They heard, especially being a Ravens fan, especially watching that game, especially just envisioning it should have been us because that's how all of us were feeling. This was the year. They just felt like everything had lined up so perfectly for the Baltimore Ravens, but why did his words burn? Shout out to Usher, by the way. Well, we're going to talk about it.

And this season we went through a lot of highs, couple of lows, not many lows though, not too many, but we went through a lot of highs and some lows too and really thought that this would be the year. But with Chris Jones with his words, saying that the Baltimore Ravens were the best team in NFL, it was not a shot at the Ravens at all. It was not a diss to the Ravens at all. It was him just again, more so commending his team on how well they did and all the tough battles that they had to get through to get to where they were at. Baltimore Ravens, they squandered an opportunity. They squandered the season. This was the team. This was the coaching staff. This was the roster. This was injury-wise too. Like you were on the right side of injuries. We've been talking about this for years that we feel like that is one of the biggest things that have been holding this Baltimore Ravens team back. It's been injuries, injuries to keep players, especially with Lamar Jackson starting 2020. Ravens made the playoffs, but then Lamar got a concussion while they were down 17-3 and boom, that was that. Then the following year, they were top of the AFC North, the top of the AFC at one point, then Lamar got hurt, all came crashing down. And then 2022, they were again, same thing. Top of the AFC North, top of the AFC. Lamar got hurt, all came crashing down, but they had just did enough to make the playoffs. But then we had high hopes, but low expectations and you know how that went with the whole Tyler Huntley game and the fumble. Anyway, Baltimore Ravens just continued to miss on opportunities, man. But this was probably their biggest missed opportunity, in my opinion, because it was right there in front of them. And for somebody who just won the Super Bowl and he is a key player on that Kansas City Chiefs team, he done been there for their recent Super Bowls. For somebody to have won the Super Bowl and come off and say that, they got a lot of respect for you and they know, because who will be able to fight against Chris Jones if he were to say, hey, us, the Kansas City Chiefs, we're the best team in the NFL and now we got to reign the show for it. Nobody can argue that because the Chiefs won. They're the Super Bowl champions. But for him to be a Super Bowl winner, just won the Super, fresh off of winning the Super Bowl, not even 30 minutes ago. They won the Super Bowl in a close game, overtime game too. They're gonna be not even 30 minutes removed from that, but still to say the Baltimore Ravens, they the best team in the NFL. That's pain right there, man. That is painful right there because Ravens wasted it. They wasted it. It was right there, literally right in front of them. We talked about so many times throughout this year how the Baltimore Ravens, an opportunity was presented to them and they took that opportunity and ran with it. Like it was like, oh, you want to be top of the AFC North? Well, that's what you got to do. Ravens did it. Oh, you want to be a top of the AFC? This is what you got to do. Ravens did it. Oh, you want to get the number one seed? This is what you got to do. Ravens did it. Oh, you want home field advantage through the playoffs? You want to be able to control your own destiny? This is what you got to do. Ravens did it every time. They did it. They did it. And I remember thinking so many times throughout this season, like, oh, man, I remember years past when Ravens would have an opportunity right in front of them. It would be right in front of them and they'd be there for the taking and then they just let it slip away. They didn't do that this year. Even at times I was thinking, well, you know those emotional games, those games where it takes everything out. You like the Rams game, like that one. That was an overtime game. That game was insane. But even in that game, I was thinking the next week, like, oh, I want Ravens to win. I know they're a really good team, but coming off a game like that against the Rams where you gave everything and more, it took you an extra quarter to get the win. Ooh, I get it, man. If Ravens come up a little short in this, nope, they didn't do it though. They didn't do it. Ravens had continued to take care of business, but in the biggest moment with the best team that you've had in the years, you let the opportunity just go away. So now Ravens fans, I can't speak for all of them, but it just makes you wonder like, what are we gonna do next time? I know I've seen so many Ravens fans continue to say it. We ain't worried about regular season. We don't care about regular season. We're just worried about what's gonna happen in the playoffs and I get that because that is a big concern. Ravens fans know, okay, Lamar Jackson healthy, but most people on the team healthy, Raven's gonna be straight in regular season. They're gonna take care of business in regular season, but now, and this whole thing with the playoffs, with the Baltimore Ravens, it had already been something that had been a big concern for us already. We had talked about this plenty of times that regular season, we expected Ravens to take care of their business. We expected Ravens to be good in regular season. I ain't expecting them to be great like they had been this past regular season, but I think they were gonna take care of business, but playoffs, that's where our biggest concern was. That's where the biggest, like, the biggest scare was because it's like, oh, what are we gonna do? What's gonna go down? What's gonna happen? And that first playoff game, it fooled a lot of us because in that first playoff game, it's like, oh, they starting off slow. It's 10-10 going in a halftime. Ooh, I don't know about that, buddy. But guess what they did? They came out and they made adjustments. They made fixes. They made changes and they took off. So we was like, oh, these ain't the same. Oh, Ravens, baby, let's go. Bring on whoever gonna be in the AFC Championship. We're ready for you. Whether it's gonna be Buffalo, whether it be gonna be KC. We're like, oh, we at the crib. We got this. They didn't have this. They didn't get it. The Ravens, they fell short of the ultimate goal again for the same reason again. Not being true to themselves. Not being true to themselves. I was just talking to somebody today on Twitter and they asked me the question. They said, oh, you see, you saw the 49ers, they ran the ball against the Chiefs and it didn't matter. I said, no, no, no, no, it did because they were always in the game. They were never out of the game and they didn't forget who they were. They didn't. And the Chiefs even. Like we talked about the Chiefs, they ran the ball. They were down at 10 at one point. They were still running the ball because when you run the ball and it's like with the Baltimore Ravens, it's just, again, it remains a head scratcher. Like, how do you get into the biggest moment of the season against this team that's a bad run defense? And you decide, you know what? We're not gonna run the ball. No thanks. We ain't doing that. Like, hold up. And the run, even if they weren't a bad run defense, it's like the run can help set up the pass. If you can run the ball, that can open up play action. If you can run the ball, that can diversify your offense that much more and just, it can expand things for you, make a lot of life easier for you on offense. But the Ravens said, no, no, no, no, we ain't not doing that. We are going to make this game 10 times harder than what it should be. 10 times harder. And you see the result. They lost. And what's crazy is that the Baltimore Ravens, they were losing all game, but they were not out of it. They were right there. And offense just let them down big time, big time. Play calling was suspect. Offense was suspect. It was just suspect. Defense was a suspect. So I can't say everything was suspect, but offense was just, it's terrible. It's terrible. And it's like, and I was talking to one of my other guys a couple of days ago, he said, you know, you know what happened with the Baltimore Ravens? These last three playoff losses, I was like, what? They running backs only got six carries. He said, no. He said, they lost the ball at the goal line in each loss. And so he said, they lost the ball within five yards of the end zone in each loss. I said, oh, you, you're right. You're right. Because he talked about the Z-Flowers, that fumble. He talked about the, the Marjaxon interception, even though it should have been passing the fence, but okay, cool. And you, and did y'all see that too? Again, we talked about the refs already, but y'all saw the refs called that holding call last night, but that same, same call against Isaiah likely. But anyway, there was the Z-Flowers fumble at the end zone. It was the Marjaxon interception unlikely that happened in the end zone. So that was that game. Then the previous game, there was the Tyler Huntley, the dive over the top at the end zone, the fumble that went back for seven because it was what Sam Hubbard, I want to say Sean Hubbard, Sam Hubbard, Hubbard. I forget his first name. But then in the 2020 playoff game before that, it was the Lamar Jackson pick six. So all plays where Ravens were literally right there and the ball ends up going the other way. So they don't even get three. They obviously don't get seven, but they don't even get three. So again, the bottom line, just like with those turnovers at in the end zone, just like with Baltimore Ravens this year, it's a big missed opportunity.
