Thats like Baltimores 7th illegal formation penalty.. Crisp play for sure...

New kickoff might be the most overhyped thing ever

If this is what it’s going to be like they gotta just eliminate the kickoff.

 

[ajcardfan]

KC's defense looks like it might even be better than last year. That secondary is tight.

It looks like the field players are lagging

Somehow Lamar Jackson, future hall of fame quarterback, is underrated

 

[SECTION 11]

The Chiefs lack of depth on the D line could cost them this game. Go figure.

Jackson missed two open receivers in the end zone

 

[Cheesebeef]

Wow.

 

[Hoodhero]

Damn. That's brutal way to lose smh

 

[BirdGangThing]

mahomes woulda ran everyone to the 10 yard line after the catch and spiked it with probably around 30 seconds left - and he would've made sure the chiefs scored a td with one of those 3 plays

that loss was on lamar - even though he's the only reason they were in the game - lack of time management and bad throws at the end did him in

Agree. Missed wide open guys in the endzone twice before that last play. He shouldn't need three tries to hit open receivers

That's pretty much the reoccurring narrative with Jackson.

 

[Yuma]

It would have been nice if the toe was in on the last play because the coach was signaling going for two. That would have been a better outcome either way for it to come down to making a two point try for the win!

It’s ridiculous and given colleges didn’t adopt this it just doesn’t look right for some reason.

Chiefs going whatever they want on offense is going to be the theme of 2024.

The tough part about Lamar is that he was on the field with Mahomes. That is always going to make you look worse than you actually are.

 

[MadCardDisease]

I've always said that Lamar is more of a RB playing the QB position. Last night he really looked that way as he rumbled for over 100 rushing yards. However while he was able to hit the short and short intermediate passes OK, his deep balls looked terrible all game. Every one of his deep throws were just way off target. Then at the end of the game he missed those two wide open receivers in the endzone on consecutive plays that would have tied up the game. Lamar didn't look like a MVP last night IMO.

Also the Ravens as a whole just looked off. Way too many penalties, mental errors and blown coverages.

Ehh he showed at the end why he is. 2 wide open guys in the endzone one throw high nearly injures Likely, then next play he throws behind WIDE open Zay Jones.

He's a great player but he misses way too many of those throws.

 

[Russ Smith]

In case nobody else said it aside from the misses on the last drive the biggest play of the game was Mahomes outjumping 2 defenders for that tipped pass, they would have had had WAY more time if that gets picked because of field position. I'm still not sure how he got that ball that was just a great reaction.

 

[RedViper]

Too bad they didn't have that high def endzone cam back in the day. We would have been champs when they showed Santonio Holmes only got one foot down on the turf.

Easy to do so when the refs refuse to call false starts and illegal formations.

The miss was to Likely. Clean pocket. Too much air underneath it and it sailed.

Lamar said he was throwing to a spot on the Zay Flowers play. Apparently Bateman was supposed to sit in the middle of the zone. He didn't see Zay as he was scrambling. If Zay fills the spot Bateman was supposed to be then all look better for it.

Play of the game imo. Ravens arent stressing as much with 40 extra seconds.

Yes, I would like to know that answer and why @kerouac9 gave a thumbs down to MadCard's post
