FIRST TAKE | Lamar will shink Bengals to HELL - Stephen A. Smith credits Ravens will win Week 5

FIRST TAKE | Lamar Jackson will shink Bengals to HELL - Stephen A. Smith believes Ravens will win Week 5

[volcanicmax]

Crazy how Joe is fortunate to get context when literally last year after week 2 SAS and Shannon were saying Lamar wasn’t worth his contract….. after the ravens had dropped 7 passes including 3 TDs “for context”

[SPORTSNFL]

Canty ain't afraid of big media.

SA is a house ninja

[SPORTSNFL]

The same things SA and RC are saying to defend Burrow. Are the same things they never said to defend Lamar.
Instead, they blamed it all on Lamar.

Even though Lamar wasn't losing.

[Rod]

When the ravens lost to the chiefs the whole world crucified him. Nobody said a word about the defense or his poor O-line play. Lamar missed 1 zay flowers towards the end, 1 freakin mistake after carrying the entire offense and got killed for coming up short. Ravens were up 10 against the raiders in the 4th qtr and the defense blew it, who got blamed? Lamar and Henry had the ravens up 28-6 against the cowboys in the 4th won by only a FG, they hung on to win but had they not, who would have gotten blamed? Ryan clark amd shannon sharp couldn't wait to tweet before the game was even over saying "if lamar is that dude he has to bring it home" like what???!!! So if he doesn't clutch it up this is on him and not the damn defense??? thank God he was able to get 2 clutch first downs to ice the game because had he failed he (once again) would have gotten blamed. Its funny how they make excuses for any other QB but lamar is expected to get it done regardless of the circumstances. Remember in 2019 when the ravens lost to the titans in the playoffs and derrick Henry ran all over them for 200 yrds just like he did to Buffalo?? Who recieved the blame for that playoff loss?? Was it the defense who couldn't stop Henry? No. It was lamar who had 500 yrds of offense by himself in that game. These so called experts don't keep the same energy. I guarantee you if the bengals win, it will be "burrow outplayed lamarifnot the ravens defense let lamar down. But let lamar win and they already have the built in excuse about the bengals defense. You can't have it both ways

[iBxngThomas]

Everyone get a pass but Lamar it’s so funny lmao 🤣 🤦‍♂️

[bret]

Lamar is proven and so many people doubt him! As a ravens fan we welcome that energy! Always underdogs and that’s how we like it

[philblack]

It’s funny how “it’s a team sport” when it comes to Burrow and Allen

[dimitri]

Joe burrow gets credit for losing is crazy. They use context for him but not Lamar. Sports media is a dangerous place. Make people believe these things who are casuals and don’t really know what’s going on

[dayraven]

Lamar had 260 passing 130 rushing and they blamed the chiefs game on him. 😂😂😂

[iBxngThomas]

Talking about a Super Bowl that he didn’t win lmao 😂so basically it means nothing

[isaiahbirdsong]

Yall say Lamar gotta make team better when we lose because of defense yall blame it on Lamar come on now

[Blackculture-]

Here they go again defending Joe, but let Lamar be 0-3 😂😂😂

[brucewalton]

The context to Joe burrow success is that lamar was injured lmfao

[Tigercam]

It's 2024 and Stephen is talking about College accolades. This is Joe Burrow's 5th season in the league... wtf is he talking about

[adrianbooze]

Joe Burrow keeps getting a pass, but if that was Lamar Jacksonthey would be slicing him

[marshallduvall]

Hey EVERYONE ! Want to see an Oreo cookie ? It's right on your screen ! Stephen A Smith ! Never a good word about a black quarterback ! Because to him, only the white qb's are any good.

[Zotiy]

If he doesn't win against the Ravens this weekend, they are not making the playoffs because they haven't even played the whole AFC North opponents that they always have trouble against.

[aaronbutler]

Lamar owns full ownership over Joe Burrow 4-1
Lamar owns full ownership over Bengals 7-1
Joe Burrow is media concoction. Nothing more. They lie.

[iBxngThomas]

It’s funny when Lamar losses a game it’s nobody else is the blame but him lmao 😂never said coach defense or anything lmao

[___JB]

Its on Joe Burrow!! The same way you guys put everything on Lamar and Dak even when they play well
