00:00It is followed up by wondering what is going on in Baltimore.
00:04That has been common all season long.
00:08And look, I will say this.
00:11Boy, do New England Patriots fans know how to tell a story of a game
00:14with conveniently forgetting Lamar Jackson got injured.
00:17Guttie win on the road.
00:20Ravens.
00:21Henry.
00:22How'd they pull it out?
00:23Lamar got hurt.
00:24But Lamar getting hurt, Joe, like it's, I don't know.
00:28It's been a season of this, and it's been happening.
00:32It happens every so often.
00:34Like, this is, you want to talk about hitting the reset button.
00:38I think the Baltimore Ravens are about to take a sledgehammer, it feels like,
00:42to the reset button.
00:43I don't see any way John Harbaugh is coaching the Baltimore Ravens in 2026.
00:48No, their identity is gone.
00:49And again, this team has regressed since the number one seed in the AFC playoffs,
00:55right, where they lost to Kansas City and Pat Mahomes two years ago.
00:58They got Derrick Henry.
01:00He was great, and he got them to a certain level.
01:02But this team now has got major holes defensively.
01:06They have major concerns from a passing perspective.
01:09Love or hate Lamar Jackson, he's your franchise guy.
01:13But the problem is, again, he goes down yesterday.
01:16Yep.
01:17And Tyler Huntley gives you 62 yards in backup duty with...
01:20The thing, though, Joe, but you're right.
01:23But the score is 24-13.
01:26Derrick Henry hits the end zone.
01:29And then he didn't touch the field the rest of the game.
01:31I don't know.
01:31Crazy.
01:32It's unimaginable.
01:35It's unimaginable.
01:37And this Ravens defense...
01:41Sorry, you can't go 70-yard touchdown drive, 89-yard touchdown drive.
01:44That's what they allowed in this game.
01:46That can't happen.
01:46But, again, that's not the identity when you think of just John Harbaugh on the Ravens.
01:54You think blue collar, pound the rock, run Lamar, and work off a play action.
01:59And, oh, by the way, the defense is going to shut down the run, force turnovers, and beat you up in the trenches.
02:05Yeah.
02:06Have they done that this year?
02:07I mean, every game, they're suspect.
02:10There's been one or two performances that are basically outliers for the Ravens.
02:16And outside of maybe Kyle Hamilton and a couple of others, they don't have dominant defensive players.
02:23You know, they got rid of Pat Queen to the Steelers, which was crazy.
02:28But I'm just saying, like, linebackers, again, don't fear you.
02:32The front seven is getting older.
02:33And, again, teams run and throw on this team like it's – I mean, again, they weren't going anywhere even if they got in.
02:43I'll be honest.
02:44Well, Joe, here's the incredible thing, right?
02:47It's an impossible argument to make if I were to try and go the other way.
02:51There's no evidence that they were, right?
02:53They never were clean on both sides of the football this season.
02:56And the Ravens were the team – I'm sure I probably mentioned this.
03:00I bet Baltimore to win the Super Bowl.
03:03Like, I don't know.
03:04They were doing all those promos on FanDuel.
03:06And I was like, I'm probably going to pick in the Ravens.
03:07And I – the only good thing I did in the Super Bowl market this year was cash out of that bet.
03:11And I, you know, locked in on Cincinnati.
03:13And I never went, you know, like, oh, everyone bet Baltimore.
03:15And I'm like – but I – this is Super Bowl favorites, and they still felt worth it.
03:20And every single time they've told us, like, actually, we're not.
03:24And I – like, look, they're not technically out of it yet, right?
03:28Like, Tomlin losing to Cleveland isn't the craziest thing I've ever heard in my entire life.
03:32But it's just – it's been embarrassing.
03:34And I – and this is the thing for me.
03:36So people then say, well, tell the story of this game.
03:40Back-to-back weeks of New England Patriots have left me completely underwhelmed.
03:43I mean, completely underwhelmed.
03:45Joe, for me, it looked like they were absolutely going to get themselves rocked in another step-up spot here
03:50had Lamar not been injured.
03:52And, look, it's interesting because you give Drake May credit for a great comeback, right?
03:58I mean, he ends up throwing for 380 yards and multiple touchdown passes.
04:03And, you know, he has the game-clinching scramble.
04:05So I – I don't think you can take that away from them.
04:10But when we – I know that the feeling is as if the AFC doesn't have a lot of heavyweights.
04:15But we try and figure out, you know, which horse are you going to be willing to ride.
04:18Dude, that is not how I feel about the New England Patriots.
04:22It's not.
04:22And here's the crazy thing about New England.
04:25They got – yesterday was a great day for them because Denver losing to Jacksonville
04:29gives the Pats some life now back all of a sudden for that number one seed.
