Not a "moral victory" thread, but I'm proud of this team

And this ravens team just feels...dare I say... Soft.

Maybe it's the bacon infused whiskey idk

3 times ain't a fluke. It's not like they will ever have a better version of THIS offense. Hard to go back to square 1 on a team that's been this successful in the regular season since 2018, but it's obvious.

The Bills were averaging over 40 points a game over their last 4. Their offense is really really good. We were averaging like 24.

I think this team was at best the 3rd or 4th best team in the AFC. Some key injuries, horrific C play, lack of training camp and a good number of rookies learning on the job as well as a lack offensive playmakers in the passing game kind of limited the ceiling of this team.

You don't think if we landed Hopkins or Diggs it would have been different? I do. Baltimore continues to try to find bargain basement deals on WRs, I love Dez Bryant, 4 years ago. I'll give credit to DeCosta for getting Hollywood, but taking a dude that was injured, 170lbs, and scared of contact was mind blowing to me. He's basically John Brown was drafted in the 3rd.

And yet they scored 10 tonight. It was a coinflip until the pick six...Let's not kid ourselves.

What moral victory is there to gain from this. Roman sucks, Lamar isn’t showing much in the playoffs, defense actually played well and we still couldn’t give them more than 3 points. We have a lot to fix going into the off-season.

Shore up the things we need to shore up and come back with a vengeance next year.

I am not even devastated tonight, that is rare. 8 weeks ago, I wasn't even sure they would be here. I dont think the guys ever gave up. They fought the whole time. The Bills were just better.

Ummmm while I think some of your criticisms are fair and are why Brown is more of a good #2 receiver......you comparison to John Brown seems a little extreme. He is a good bit better than John Brown with less help around him.

Look at their first two years. I just see nothing special in Holly wood as a first rounder that we could have easily traded back and picked up of the numerous guys that made more sense.

This comes close to how I view the loss.

Just to clarify, yes I'm disappointed with how the offense played tonight. How could you not be? I'm talking about where we were after week 12 to where we got, I'm proud.
