Soko Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 So far this year, they’re definitely top dog in the AFC. I’ll never bet against Mahomes in the playoffs, but really no argument to be had against Baltimore right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of all things, if they meet Ravens in the post season, it could be a great defensive game of all things. I think Keaton Mitchell will have a great last half of the season as well. See how Cinci is tonight, a real test. Browns looked good today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just once the postseason comes around, even with good/great defense being played on both sides, it just seems taboo to expect anything less than clutch-play from Patrick Mahomes. Offense is still getting by now, but when things ramp up, I can’t pick against Mahomes… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nagahide13 Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 They definitely beat the crap out of the Lions and Seahawks, two really good teams. Losing to the Colts and Steelers was weird but I think the wins count for more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ravens play style is a shock to the system, Jalen and the Eagles dont even play quite like that. The Lions with the same coaching staff played Lamar only 2 years ago (more recently than a bunch of AFC teams). They did much better the first time. I also disagree that the Ravens offense is more unique/unusual than the Eagles, whether under Roman or especially Monken.

AZ_Eaglesfan Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 I think the reason the Ravens have been so good against the NFC is because they are typically just a really good football team when Lamar is playing QB for them lol. But ya I mean the Ravens are definitely in the conversation for top of the AFC. Clear top 3 to me is Chiefs, Ravens, and Bengals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Steelers loss was the game where literally everyone dropped a touchdown pass. We would've beaten them by 40 if people just didn't drop easy touchdowns all game.

jonnguy2015 Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 (edited) In my opinion, if the Chiefs and Ravens meet in the AFC Championship, the winner of that will beat anyone coming out of the NFC Edited November 6, 2023 by jonnguy2015 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wackywabbit Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 The Ravens with a healthy Lamar are reliably great over the course of a season at a level only matched/exceeded by Mahomes on the Chiefs. But they also have the characteristic of being able to blow any given game. So I think it is a complete waste of time to mentally project them into any round of the playoffs.

But, Burrow was moving well in the first meeting in Cincy that they won. He re-aggravated his hamstring on literally his last snap of the game. No need to build that up as the truth-seeking game. People who do will dismiss the outcome as being a Thursday game in Baltimore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Steelers game is why I don't trust them to win it all (and same reason I'm down on KC to repeat). At some point you're going to face a top defense and top offense in a one or done game, and not having WRs is going to be what kills you.

JaguarCrazy2832 Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 A mix of an incredible QB and a very very good defense. The losses are incredibly weird but everyone has those this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
