The thing to watch going forward for the Ravens will be how they really cater the offense to Lamar. This system and playbook was not designed for Lamar, it was designed for Flacco. What we watched were adaptations to Lamar being the guy. It will be interesting to see how a playbook that's really geared toward taking advantage of Lamar's strengths and helping along his inefficiencies makes a difference.

 

Completely agree. However, that being said, I was more than a little surprised at some of the "easier" passes that he missed yesterday.

Here's something to think about. In the four games this weekend, the running quarterback lost all four games. The one that is a borderline call on that is Wilson vs Dak. In the other three games the obviously pocket passing quarterback won.

At the end of the day a QB has to hit passes and make plays in the playoffs for his teams to win. Even people like Trent Dilfer, Colin Kaepernick, and Blake Bortles last year made plays and passes to help their teams win in their playoff runs. At the end of the day a QB has to make plays in the playoffs to help a team win. It's the biggest reason why Marvin Lewis never won a playoff game, and why those Qb's lost yesterday. QB's have to play solid in the playoffs and make the plays when given the chance to make play.
