00:00I just have a feeling there's going to be a lot to say around both sides of of this game
00:05And I think we should start with the baltimore side
00:0921 nothing at half
00:11For me, they made
00:13Only one mistake in this game
00:15It didn't make the difference but that punt
00:19To come out at halftime
00:21Was embarrassing and I wish it cost them the game. Oh it didn't
00:26but
00:26do not
00:28in the
00:29There's 11 minutes left in the third quarter
00:32Act like the game is over. They should have went for it. They didn't okay fine the baltimore ravens
00:40Drew the perfect opponent. I was curious to see if that would be the case, but it ended up being exactly that
00:47A one of the things that has haunted lamar you talk about the postseason the steelers are in that conversation as well
00:55You marry the two of them and you give him this hurdle to clear
00:59But it is something in pittsburgh much scarier in theory than practice
01:05Because the steelers in the playoffs the last few seasons are nothing more than something you steamroll
01:12Buffalo did it last year kansas city a few years ago. They show up
01:17They're completely outclassed and that's what the ravens were able to do get lamar a load of confidence
01:23Henry some confidence if need be and the team as a whole
01:28Feeling good about themselves with potentially a trip to buffalo
01:33Happening next week for the ravens. It could not have gone better yesterday
01:37No
01:37It was a carbon copy of what we saw basically in week 15 where they pulled away in terms of the fourth quarter and won that
01:43Match up by 17 points when you average six yards per carry
01:47Derek henry has 26 carries a buck 86 and two touchdowns and you're putting your team in terms of a 21
01:54First half lead over a gutless
01:56Offense in terms of pittsburgh. I'm sorry
01:58You're gonna win that game and more importantly you're gonna cover the 10 point spread and that's exactly what they did
02:03By the time pittsburgh woke up and got 14 points
02:06They already trailed and they didn't have an offensive identity. They ran 11 times 29 yards 2.8 yards per carry
02:13That's not gonna get it done. And again, it's the same thing about baltimore
02:17Yes, when they run the football donnie, they are very explosive and they dominate games and lamar jackson doesn't have to do a lot
02:24Right, they won this game in the trenches, but for the flip side for pittsburgh
02:28We talk about it failing and always putting the square peg into the round hole. We're gonna run it
02:34We're gonna try and play these lower scoring games. They didn't score over 17 points in the five straight losses
02:41This is on arthur smith
02:42This is on mike dom
02:43It certainly is and also you can take some credit away from that defense of the pittsburgh steelers that they sort of built that
02:48Foundation around btj watts last 140 plus snaps. No tackles. No sacks. Come on, man
02:52Biggest games of the year you got to step up and he wasn't able to do that
02:55But I got to tell you if you just look at the box score
02:57It's perfect for the quarterbacks if you would have told me before the game donnie
03:00I'm not going to show you anything but russell wilson's statistics for that game 20 of 29 272 touchdowns
03:05No interceptions. They win that game release that they cover that game for the 10 points. They didn't look at lamar jackson
03:10I told you you don't need 30 plus passing attempts 16 for 21 a buck 75 two touchdowns. No interceptions
03:16That's a perfect box score, but you know, it's more physical
03:18It was the baltimore ravens and it wasn't even close
03:20How about the drive 13 14 straight carries right down the field to punch in a touchdown against the steelers defense?
03:25basically breaking their back and kevin's right it was almost like they were
03:29Disrespecting the steelers by coming out and punting in the second half because if you would have told me right now kevin give you the odds
03:34Uh, they're gonna run that fourth down play lamar goes back and does whatever he wants runs for six yards out of bounds
03:39We laugh they punch it and it's 28 to nothing at that point here
03:42They were also toying with the pittsburgh steelers
03:44which is something that you don't see in this series over the past decade at least decade plus when both of these head coaches have
03:50Been in place that was at 28 to 14. Oh, they got aggressive
03:52Why did we get aggressive late if you were the steelers fourth and an inch not going for the game?
03:56Come on, mike tomlin. Yeah
03:59The the steelers aspect of it again, so tempting. I I just want to
04:03for baltimore
04:05It's only step one
04:07the interesting thing is and look we're gonna get into the denver game, but just if the if the bills win
04:13And then you know that would mean kansas city would play houston
04:17There's a chance for the ravens to exercise every single demon on their way to a super bowl
04:24But it also means the path is very difficult and things are only getting started as far as the steelers go
04:30Mike tomlin hasn't won a playoff game and I believe now eight years
04:35Any coach that that is true of would be fired
04:38but mike tomlin
04:39Is obviously always going to be a winner by the way, we just got breaking nfl news
04:44It looks like here that the patriots are going to be hiring mike vrabel
04:47We're going to be getting into that later on in our show
04:49But anybody just tuning in some coaching news right there mike vrabel will be returning home to new england. We'll get into that
04:56So I guess the patriots, uh, you know don't need a a head coach if tomlin comes available
05:02There's always this thing when people talk about if the steelers got rid of tomlin
05:05Someone would fire him someone will hire him right away
05:09and
05:11Oh, okay. I don't
05:13Who cares?
05:14It's about your situation
05:16and
05:17I do not know
05:19if mike tomlin
05:21is
05:22Ready to make the necessary moves to get this team
05:27back to a
05:28Super bowl contender it might mean a few down years or maybe taking a risk
05:35And trading up in the nfl draft for a cam warchild or sanders
