    Exactly. And he still got his millions to dry his eyes. It's not like the livelihood of these guys rests upon winning.

    I'd take Lamar in a heartbeat. If the Rats could get the playoff turnovers ironed out of themselves they would be like the Chiefs and be in the AFC championship or more, just about every year IMHO. Jackson is a super good playmaker that turns nothing into something as good or better than anyone in the league IMHO.As much as it pains me to say it. That team is just mistake prone in the playoffs. Look at how close their games are even when losing the turnover battle.

    they are ok with being slightly better than average - I don’t want to get into excuse making, but the reality is we outperform the NFL mean at a greater rate than just about any team for the last 25 years.

    What I find funny is these latest MVPs just aren't clutch in the playoffs. The last to win MVP and a SB was Mahomes in 2023, before that it was Warner in 1999.

    Lamar was clutch enough , on Sunday. that final drive was Ben-esque, I am sure you watched it.

    He did what he had to do to tie the game.

    It was adverse weather, for sure. affected the Ravens a good bit.

    in OT, Rats would have won, Bills were cooked at that point......

    Bills did little, they just did not make errors......

    Lamar two early turnovers were a problem, even if Andrews catches the two point pass to tie the game the Bills had 1:30 and two timeouts.

    Ben, in his prime would have won that game. Lamar, currently in his prime is a playoff choke artist. Lamar made way too many mistakes to say that the Ravens would have cooked the Bills in OT.

    correct

    Ben was T/O machine at times too

    this is a TEAM sport, it is not 1 QB vs. another.

    the Lamar hate and dissing is half ret*arde%

    maybe - Ben lost plenty of close games, in his prime. Lamar's TEAM failed him (Andrews primarily) in the 4th Q


    Let's talk reality here.

    and the refs F*#%*@ them with that PI call 1 min before the half. These Refs should be FIRED for those offenses.

    In the last year you have basically made this or a similarly foolish comment about Mr Rooney 78 times. Yes I went and counted them. And each time you have been wrong.

    As @SteelerGlenn@SteelerGlenn pointed out Mr Art Rooney has been the team president for our last three SuperBowls

    He does not suck and he most definitely wants to win

    He went to college and got a BS and a JD so he most definitely isn’t stupid

    You may not agree with his approach and right now most of us don’t but stop making up and repeating total nonsense

    Jim Rooney is probably correct. Word is we have the smallest and lowest paid coaching staff. Say what you will about Tomlin’s lack of success, but any other coach would probably struggle being so hamstrung
