1. If Baltimore were interested in whats best for Baltimore they would trade Lamar Jackson for multiple 1st and second round picks and Draft all Defensive players,then and maybe then they might have a chance to beat Kansas City if Mahomes gets hurt because we all know Lamar isn't beating Mahomes
   At least if he was in the NFC its possible an AFC Team could slay the Dragon for Him

2. As a lifelong ravens fan i will say that we HAVE NOT won because of Harbough.. we win in spite of him… he’s a terrible situational coach.. he’s outdated and a horrible game manager.. he doesn’t make any adjustments.. and he’s outdated in every way… Lamar mask a lot of coaching and GM flaws.. he should have been fired years ago

3. Okay, Florio I gotta call you out. They did not & do not play their starters in all 4 quarters of preseason games. C'mon man, stop making up $h&t.

4. Have we played all our starters in the preseason all 4 quarters ever??.

5. So the Ravens are Paul Tergat and the Chiefs are Haile Gebrselassie?

6. It’s always awards and record breaks with you ravens fans. Never any real post season talk 😂

7. Yes, John should be fire or resign

8. Two Proud Trolls

9. Florio is such a Lamar hater. He hating indirectly cause he can’t rn directly

10. Oh NOW we aren’t going to talk about stats anymore. Sure. Sure. No more carping about something so darn meaningless as *rushing”.

11. For all the Ravens fans, Florio said, “Then why aren’t you playing all your starters all four quarters in a preseason game”.

12. Preseason record meant a lot to the guys who aren't starters or never made a roster. Or even more to the guys who put stuff on film that got them a shot somewhere else. The rushing record means something because it's the Steelers and they are the arch nemesis.. anything to rub in their face is valued.

13. I think Florio misses the point about the Ravens and culture. They want the record but they aren’t going to sacrifice a win to get it. They play and have a physical brand of football. They have done more with a WR at QB and roll players than any other team. No star receivers, first year with a big name back despite all the rushing records. They created an offense that everyone said wouldn’t work and have done nothing but win games over and over and instead of figuring out why or giving them credit, the media attacks them because it doesn’t look like everyone else, because Lamar runs they say he can’t throw even tho he’s a better passer then 85% of the league.. they criticize him for a drop pass when the only reason the play had a chance is because he made 6 people miss. It’s just a joke how bias these guys are towards anything they don’t understand. Same guys said Brady was trash with 3 rings and said Arron Rodgers is clutch even tho he has melted down when it matters most his whole career

14. I don’t get your point Florio. It’s something the franchise can be proud of. If it was truly that easy the record would be always being broken. Legacy stats over the entire franchise can tell you a lot about your favorite topic, owners.

15. They should or should’ve a complimentary defense to this offense hopefully we aren’t wasting another year of Lamar prime and career

16. Lmao @ the San Francisco treat.

17. Its not a big deal for us, we literately have had games where henry has rushed 15 times… Stop it

18. Florio is weak

19. The Ravens NEVER play starters in the preseason..
    And thats THE POINT of that record.. our front office is better than your front office, we are the best team builders in the league and year after year our depth is the best in the league!

20. Ravens haven’t won multiple Super Bowls, so their records don’t matter
