    Because he won a Super Bowl. Confirmation bias.

    No, check his playoff stats that year.  He played lights out.  He was being thought of as the next elite qb in the league.  Didn't pan out but that run by itself was definitely elite.

    Ehh I don’t think so, that was kind of an odd game.  That ravens team is an absolute powerhouse just had a pretty flukey game with those missed kicks which forced them to roll the dice earlier on 4th down than they should’ve had to.  Philly is still really good don’t get me wrong but they’re a tier below Baltimore imo 

    Imo this is right.  To me they are very similar.   I think what Philly lacks compared to Baltimore is a strong passing game.  Any way you cut it we got work to do still.  We haven't won anything yet.

    [I posted the following in the Gameday thread, but thought it might get lost in there, so figured I would repost in this thread.]

     

    So, we keep hearing the better team lost. Baltimore was/is a better team than the Bills, but:

     

    -Head-to-Head: 1-1

    -Record: Buffalo 13-4, Balt 12-5 (plus we purposefully pooched the last game of the year vs. the Pats---could have had two wins on Balt)

    -AFC seeding: Buffalo #2; Baltimore #3 

    -We scored more points than Baltimore this year (only by 7, but still)

    -Conversely, their defense only allowed 7 points fewer than the Bills defense on the year

    -So, the teams are tied in point differential on the year

    -The two teams scored the same number of TDs on the year

     

    That's about as evenly matched as two teams could get (with a slight edge to the Bills based on record and seeding), but then there is this too :

     

    -We had a +24 turnover ratio, the Ravens had a +6 turnover ratio (not surprising this was the difference in the game as it's one of the only stats with a major advantage to either team).

     

    -Josh Allen > Lamar Jackson

     

    Buffalo: Two best wins: KC (15-2), Detroit (15-2)

                  Two worst losses (not counting week 17): Hoston (10-7, div winner, lost div round playoffs); Rams (10-7, div winner, lost division round of playoffs)

     

    Baltimore: Two best wins: Buffalo (13-4), Washington (12-5)

                      Two worst losses: Las Vegas (4-13), Cleveland (3-14)

     

    The only place the Ravens had it over the Bills this year was total yards. They had 1,119 yards more than us on the year (or 65.8 yards per game). But all of those extra yards did not equate to more points or more wins than the Bills (again, the Bills turnover prowess is probably the reason for that---giving our offense more short fields). And more yards than the Bills in the playoff game didn't help them advance either, did it?.

     

    So, how is Baltimore the better team again? What metric are people using? Just total yards without looking at any other stat? Or is it just the popularity contest known as Pro Bowl voting?

    Talent.  All pro players.  plus don't forget the Ravens had a tougher schedule.   Their division is good, ours is crap.  

     

    I'm not saying I agree, just what they are basing their info on imo.

    Well, I don't totally agree but there's some truth to the medias opinion.   Our offense was getting get punched in the gut in the 2nd half and Baltimore only stopped themselves.   If we'd lost we'd be pissed at McD for not being more aggressive on offense.  But we won, so he was right. 

     

    Now do we go with the same game plan against KC?  My guess is no but who knows?
