How does your team do against draws and delayed draws? Haley loves that shit.

But, Mattison may decide to activate as additional secondary body and drop seven in the box. This will assuredly wear out the big men if it happens that way.

No doubt this will be a tough game for us. Not only will we be fighting on the field, we will have to fight off the inevitable stupid play calling and generally stupid decisions by Cam and MAttison.

The only thing that is hurting Baltimore, IMHO, is that they're slowly changing the philosophy from running it hard to air'ing it out. Still, Baltimore has good quality players.

But that said, it will be interesting because this will be Flacco's first game in Arrowhead. And it will be a playoff game atmosphere, so we do have that in our favor. It won't be a HOF QB that's seen it before.

Actually, looking at it... if I'm not mistaken, this will be only the 2nd time in Arrowhead playoff history that the opposing QB is making his first start at Arrowhead. The only other time was back 1991, Todd Marinovich. He went 12/23 with 0 TD/4 INT.

Arrowhead is a whole different animal, but point taken. The crowd will have little affect IMO.

The Crows haven't exactly been that physical against the run, and I still think they are getting a lot of respect on name, and performances of seasons past.
