Our Last Actual Playoff Victory

[The Excellector]

Get it together Coach Harbaugh. It's been five years now. You've had home games, you've had a bye, you've had a MVP. No more excuses. Now, I'll have to watch highlights like this on loop to try and cheer the fan in me up.

16', we blew it late in the season against the Steelers
17', we blew it late in the season against the Steelers AND the Bengals
18', we got embarrassed in the playoffs
19', we got our first #1 seed in team history, only to be embarrassed again

There's only one common denominator at this point.

The Ravens had never been a #1 seed. They had a bye in 2006, but the 14-2 Chargers were the #1 seed.

Thank you for the correction. That was the season I was thinking about. I will make the edit.

Not just blowing it, but the ways in which we have.

16'- Antonio Brown carries three defenders to break the plane.
17'- Bell and Brown strike in no time, Maclin forgets where he is on the field, and then the last week of the season, we give up a fourth and long TD with the game on the line..............to Andy Dalton
18'- We get embarrassed at home and the Chargers players are all talking about how they had a bunch of keys to tell them which plays were coming.
19'- Game is over before the end of the third quarter.

That's four consecutive years of, not just ends to the season, but embarrassing, agonizing ends to the season.

Can you really blame 16 and 17 on coaches? Those were player failures.

2019 it was not over before the end of the 3rd.

You don't think the game is over at 28-6 with 04:16 left in Q3?

No. We scored 21 unanswered on the bungles just this season simply by playing our game and not even being in hurry up mode.

Heres how:

Lamar to boyle 10 yard pass
Ingram 7 yard run
Lamar 47 yard TD run

7

Lamar to Hollywood for 7 yards
Lamar to Andrews for 2 yards
Lamar to Hollywood for 20 yards TD

14

Finley then sacked by Ricard and recovered by bowser for a TD

21

All in the third.

We've been playing like this all year with other guys making plays and that's how we've won. Really, that's how anybody wins. We have a banged up ingram, go down by 14 early and decide Lamar has to do it all himself. Forget giving Gus carries. We had most of the game to go back to our brotherly identity if you will and it didn't happen on offense or on defense. It seemed like we chose not to trust certain players and lost trust in others early on.

Yeah, we scored 14 on the Brown in like 1:21. Anything can happen. It just didn't this time.

Where'd that joe flacco go? So good

Guys were too desperate and overcommitted on a lot of plays. Just play disciplined football.
