Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson doesn't hold back on huge turnover issue in the postseason
The Baltimore Ravens just cannot get over the hump. I know that is not what fans want to hear right now, but it's the honest truth, and the worst part is, that no one beats the Ravens more than the Ravens. With a chance to tie the game there at the end, they blew it, […]
The Baltimore Ravens just cannot get over the hump. I know that is not what fans want to hear right now, but it's the honest truth, and the worst part is, that no one beats the Ravens more than the Ravens. With a chance to tie the game there at the end, they blew it, dropping a wide-open two-point conversion, after burying themselves out of the hole that they put themselves in.
That's the story of the Ravens in the postseason, and until they can stop doing that — the turnovers — they won't be Super Bowl champions, as sad as it is. The turnovers are really the only weakness, that and going away from the run game far too often, but every team does that now and then.
And, the team is tired of it, too, especially Lamar Jackson.
"We're a team," Lamar Jackson started. "In the first half, I had two costly turnovers… Me not holding the safety, me knowing the coverage and that it was man, threw a BS interception. We battle back and then a fumble. Snap, trying to make something happen, it was an RPO so I couldn't really throw the ball. I tried to make something happen, tried to squeeze the ball and it slipped out of my hand. …That leads to points for them. Like I've been saying all season, every time we're in situations like this, turnovers play a factor. Penalties play a factor. Tonight, it was turnovers. We can't have that sh**. And that's why we lost the game. As you can see, we're moving the ball wonderfully. Hold onto the f***-ing ball. I'm sorry for my language, but this sh** is annoying. I'm tired of this sh**."
I get why he is mad, but luckily he also said it was on him. The turnovers he had were pretty bad, too, but the one by Mark Andrews in the fourth quarter had to be the worst, as the Ravens were rolling down the field looking like they would be on their way to getting some sort of points, whether it was a field goal or touchdown.
They have an issue, but only they can fix it. We will see what happens over the offseason, now. A loss to the Buffalo Bills isn't the end of the world, but if they want to be anywhere near the level of teams like the Kansas City Chiefs, some things have to be fixed.
