Because you know what happens?
What are we talking?
Five days later, they're in Buffalo.
And we all know how that's going to go.
Well, nothing to be learned from Derrick Henry fumbled when he never fumbles.
And if he doesn't do that, which is a very fluky play, they're going to win that game.
It's like if anyone wanted to have Baltimore number one in their power ranking, still, after that game, ahead of Buffalo, I'd be like, all right, I don't really have a big problem with that.
Buffalo won because of a fluke.
That doesn't mean that Buffalo is better than Baltimore.
Lamar Jackson's awesome.
The team is obviously really talented.
I think over the course of a 60-minute game, when you have that combination of a great quarterback and a really talented team, you're going to win a lot of games.
When the game is tight and you're also playing another good team and you get too late in the game, I think that's when the little things get a little bit exacerbated.
Like those little things being there's no margin for error there.
the way that there is margin for error over the course of a 60-minute game.
And so when Lamar doesn't make big plays at the end of games, or if there's questionable play calm as far as running the clock when it comes to hardball, that's stuff that we're not noticing throughout the course of a game because you have the better team normally.
If we're late in the game, it is exacerbated, and it could wind up costing you the game.
Right, and the thing that's happening to them at the end of these games, look, it happens all the time in the middle of the game, but it doesn't have the consequence that it does at the end of the game when then the clock runs out and you're trailing.
But for whatever reason, Lamar Jackson, and again, I lump Harbaugh in that category too because we're talking about play calling and clock management there as well, which was not good at the end of the game on Sunday night.
I think that then we notice it a whole lot more because then the clock runs out and they've lost.
