Today was just like how playoffs games tend to go. A lot of waves back and forth, several highs and lows and then CRUCIAL last 2 possessions to decide it.
We historically have not done well in these situations. We know we’re great front runners. But when the opponents counter we aren’t great at recovering. If we were a boxer we’d have a crazy haymaker that can knock anyone out but lose stamina in long fights and end up losing on points.
The was today played out is exactly my fear of what will happen in the playoffs. You can say any given Sunday all you want. We have documented games, lots of them, of these scenarios.
Meanwhile the Steelers have 6 wins, ALL OF THEM, one score games. I don’t know what needs to change for us to get different results.
Same thing keeps happening over and over. It. is. Harbs.
Harbs is a good person. He’s a good coach. But whatever his shtick is, it’s old. It’s tapped out. He was able to help accomplish the goal with some legendary players (HOFers on defense and Anquan is a HOFer too fight me). We’ve won two playoff games in 10 years? We’ve blown HOW MANY big leads? I’m over it.
This might be controversial, but any non-idiot coach could go 65% with the rosters we’ve had. Note the non-idiot part. And I trust the Ravens organization to not hire an idiot.
I mean tbh his predecessor won 0 playoff games with mostly the same core
