I build them on cold, hard facts.
Baltimore Ravens Playoff History with Lamar Jackson
2018: Loss in Wild-Card Round to Chargers
2019: Loss in Divisional Round to Titans (choked as 1-seed)
2020: Win in Wild-Card Round over Titans, Loss in Divisional Round to Bills (17-3)
2021: Missed playoffs, finished last in division
2022: Loss in Wild-Card Round to Bengals (Lamar missed game to injury)
2023: Win in Divisional Round over Texans, Loss in AFC Championship to Chiefs in Baltimore
2024: Win in Wild-Card Round over Steelers, Loss in Divisional Round to Bills
So Lamar has played 7 seasons.
He's made the AFC Championship game one time.
He's also missed the playoffs twice, once to injury, once to finishing last.
He's got a 3-6 record in the playoffs.
Let's go deeper.
Playoff Wins for Lamar: Titans, Texans, Steelers
Playoff Losses for Lamar: Chargers, Titans, Bills, Bengals, Chiefs, Bills
Against the trio of Bills/Bengals/Chiefs, Lamar is 0-4.
He did drive down the field and make a pass that should have been caught to tie the game. Mark Androps didn't reel it in.
A few points.
1. The Ravens scored their TD with 1:33 left. The two-point conversion attempt was going to TIE, not take the lead.
2. 1:33 was absolutely enough time for the Bills to get into field goal range. Plain and simple, the Ravens scored too early.
3. The Ravens went for 2 with over 16 minutes left in the game and didn't convert. If they had gone for one there, or converted, they wouldn't have needed to go for 2 at the end of the game.
4. The Lamar interception and fumble in the first half led to a 11-point halftime deficit.
5. This is on the play-calling as much as it is Lamar, but both two-point conversions that failed were pass attempts. Maybe give Henry a chance to pick up two yards instead of relying on sliding catches in the snow.
Seems like Lamar will get his 3rd NFL MVP this month, passing Mahomes.
Mahomes only has two regular season MVPs and 3 Super Bowl MVPs. Damn. Sucks.
(2.11.25 EDIT: Lamar did not get his 3rd NFL MVP.)
The Ravens season started with an incomplete pass to a TE on a two-point conversion attempt that would have tied the game.
The Ravens season ended with an incomplete pass to a TE on a two-point conversion attempt that would have tied the game.

Hey, remember this guy? The Ravens fan who assaulted other fans?
The fans he assaulted, were Commanders fans. Nice bit of karma there.

What was the thing that Likely said after the Chiefs beat the Ravens in Week 1?
Ah there it is.
Which was the worst game the Ravens played all season?
Was it the Week 1 loss to the Chiefs or the Week 2 loss to the Raiders or the Week 8 loss to the Browns or the Week 11 loss to the Steelers or the Week 13 loss to the Eagles or the Divisional loss to the Bills?
Honestly, it's hard to compare all of these losses at once. Maybe instead of wishing the Chiefs luck in the postseason, the Ravens should have won a few more games and could have faced a team like the Texans instead of the Bills.
Besides, according to NFL fans everywhere, the Chiefs are lucky enough.
