Can somebody start the SNF thread? I don't want to bring in bad mojo.

Indeed! I plan to recharge the rep stick, so it's at full voltage. I about wore it out today. :thumb:

Rooting for you Rams Fan!

Thank you. I'm scared right now. It's been a looong time since the Rams have been in Prime Time.

Yep. This is the absolute truth.

I am not expecting to win. I will be pleased as punch if we keep it within 10.

Yep, finish strong!

Reed missed the first 6 weeks on injured reserve, and the Ravens were 4-2 without him. They have gone 8-2 since his return. Read what you will.

**** you, your mother and your loose sister with this keep it by 10.

I'll be pissed if we lose. Good ****ing god, I know you're a basement dwelling jerkoff, but have some ****ing pride tuck in your skin flap and get ready for playoff football.

Well, **** it then. Lets ask the League to vacate 6 of our win and set us back to 4-12 where we obviously belong.

Also, GFY

I just hope we play well enough to convince Fitz that he's the missing piece.

Yeah and Tamba Hali is going to give Yanda a lot of problems.

There are going to be matchup problems on both sides.

Can Fitz play Tackle?

Great season by the Chiefs, but we are going to get our shit pushed in by a very good Ravens team.

Probs.

No shit.

No way I heard the Chiefs suck

Yep.

Teams that beat the Ravens:

Pittsburgh
Atlanta
New England
Cincy

I think that Cincy loss was clearly a fluke. The Chiefs are not in the same realm as Pitt, ATL or NE.

We're standing on the tracks, and the train's coming through.

Yep. I'll be damn pissed if I see runs up the middle next week.

Just like how we used Jones today. If they do the same thing next week, their dead. Wiegmann got overpowered today. He sucks if you try to match him up power for power against massive interior defensive lineman. But he excels if you use him in space.

I'd like to see more runs to the outside with charles. **** thomas jones. He sucks. Use charles in space and he'll do damage. Plus, Ray Lewis is older and doesn't have the same sideline to sideline speed he used to have.

Have some ****'n faith..Holy mackeral.

You've already quit KnowMo. Maybe you can let DRU sell the ticket he gave you now you ****ing benedict.

ROFL I'm sorry; it's just getting comical now.

What is with your defeatist shtick lately? Are you trying to replace Mecca because if you are you are failing.

Best sign yet!

R ohnlee chanz iz to play Croyle. Member how gooood he play vertez Raffens rast year?

GoatChiefs, I'd rather go to war with paraplegic, reeruned midget than you. You have no spine, none.

Seriously.

I got a chuckle or two out of Plankton today! w00t!

No shit, I didn't realize we had so many Chief fans with French heritage.

The attention whore is out in full force today.

I'm looking at things logically and preparing myself for the worst.

I will be there without a voice at the end of the game, though, along with 79,450 other people.

Instead of just throwing out insults, maybe you could give us some reasons why the Chiefs will win.

Jim Nantz will be coming to town. Hide the little boys!

Joe Flacco.

Why do you root for your little cousin when he's wrestling a bigger guy? Why don't you give up and die when your leg is broken?

Dude, you have no clue. Go be a pussy and die somewhere and get it over with.

You're pissing me the **** off and I've been drinking. Good luck kid, maybe some day you'll make it out of the basement.

What did I just say?

I'm traveling 800 miles to come see my team.

GoChiefs prepares himself for the worst so he won't be disappointed, much the same way he approaches his sex life.

I have a reason: Arrowhead. The Chiefs do pretty well there.

Bonus reason: The number 1 rushing attack in the league. Any team would be hard pressed to stop it.

I'm not saying we'll definitely win, but I like our chances.

Wait...was that suppose to work today?

Another reason. Next Sunday is the 9th. I've consulted Yoko One and according to the total of the numbers in 1/9/11,12 represents the color violet. Violet starts with V which,as we know, stands for Victory. She says Chiefs by 4.

If you are preparing for the worst, why bother going at all?

Because the bitch might actually get me off this time.

(And I've never been to a playoff game at Arrowhead, c'mon!)

lol if we trolled the nfl and butt**** baltimore next week

Why waste your time? You know how it ends. Sell your tickets now.

Christ! Half of you guys are ready to stick a gun in your mouths. This ain't your Daddy's Ravens. They have a lot of talent, but coordinators who don't know shit. The D is one of the oldest in the league, but the DC insists on a 3 man rush for the entire second half of games...they're ready to drop over in the last 5 mins.

Do you think its a coincidence Drew Brees and Philip Rivers improved by leaps and bounds when Cam Cameron was no longer their coordinator?

We have a mediocre offensive line, and Flacco holds the ball way too long...don't sweat it. This game is going to be 'opportunity rich".

No, but at of this point in the season, to me, it seems that the Raven's are much more physical team all-around than KC is at of this point. 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.

Underdogs in our own home stadium.

At least somebody sees it. :D

No, I think we will have to overcome some obstacles to win the game... but I don't think the public in general realizes how poorly Flacco has played in the playoffs... and the fact that these Ravens don't blitz quite as much as when Ryan was running the defense. Of course we'll make Flacco look like a superstar and your defense will probably blitz 75% of the time. The biggest issue will be handling the Ravens physicality at the line of scrimmage. Our other big problem is handling teams with a great vertical passing game.

RAVENS:
PASSING YDS
215.6 17th Overall
RUSHING YDS
115.5 13th Overall
OPP PASSING YDS
219.6 15th Overall
OPP RUSHING YDS
94.2 4th Overall
Not too bad for "OLD DEFENSE." It's not unwinable for the Chiefs but it will be uphill all the way. In the words of Clint Eastwood, " A Mans, Gottta know his limitations."

Any given Sunday....

This is interesting...

I honestly thought Cam Cameron was a good OC.

Keep in mind Flacco was injured in two of the four play off games he has been in. Flacco hass been looking much better through the season after hid meltdown in game 4 (Cinci). And yes, Mattison does not blitz as much as Ryan, and they are not nearly as exotic or well disguised. If Mattison does not wear them out the starting Dline is tough to move. 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.

Redstar, how are your special teams? Kicking off and punting can be a bitch in our stadium in cold weather.

Hey, the D is not dead yet, just being miscoached. Mattison calls a lot dropping seven and it just wears out the big boys.

More Cam hate...

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

Special teams is definitely a strength. But I don't think David Reed our KR is going to playing, and thats a big loss for us as he was pretty high in avg yrds returned. Otherwise they're pretty good.

Koch is a helluva weapon, Cundiff is going to the Pro Bowl (for whatever that's worth).

Webb has been looking better on punts the past couple weeks.

Hey, it's Hermball!

They are good at sniffing out draw plays unless Cody is in for Gregg. He has seen limited action, but has been suckered. If they get safety support on draws you'll see Landry is a master of the 80% tackle. The guy can't wrap up. Hasn't been the same since he was almost paralyzed a couple of seasons back. Another glaring weakness is ILB on the right. They have been platooning some nobodys, but Gooden got hurt, so the kid taking over his snaps is actually better.

No I think Flacco will probably have his best postseason performance. 1) Because it'd be hard to be worse than what he's already one and 2) this is his 3rd go round in the playoffs and he should be settled in now.

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.

Hey! How the hell did you get our playbook?

We have been a damn physical team pretty much all season. They got their asses kicked today. I think they will respond with their normally physical play. 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.

We play the Steelers twice a year...don't think Arrowhead is going to rattle him.

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 isn't just another stadium...

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

The quitter was given a ticket.

I disagree. The crowd will be a big deal.

Depends...they smothered Hillis last game, but here again they can do it if they dress the right number of Dlineman and rotate Cody and McKinney in. If they do your in for a long day. (That is of course until mattison's alzheimers kicks in and he continually does 2 and three man rushes).

Damn and he's still that ignorant.....wish I was given a Chiefs Playoff ticket.

Did Reed and Oher get hurt today?

Don't get me wrong I hope so, but he has a point about playing in Pittsburgh...it's a loud obnoixous stadium. Hell I hope they blow his ear drums!

...and these articles were published after the Herm era...that is when Arrowhead was quiet...

I remember last year that the Steelers commented how loud the stadium was for the Chiefs and they had half the stadium filled with their fans.

I think this is going to be louder than the season opener. Pittsburgh is crazy, no doubt, but the Chiefs fans on that field in January are rabid.

The crowd has to be into the game from the beginning. Flacco can be rattled. He'll hold the ball forever and he'll give the secondary chances.

They have some legit receivers, but I think the Chiefs match up well with them.

Yeah, yeah...everybody thinks their stadium is the shits, but its a veteran team with a Playoff seasoned QB. Don't get me wrong, noise can definitely be a factor, but its more a practical matter of hearing not getting the emotional willies.

This was directed more towards Flacco (you saying he wont get rattled)...not your veterans...

I hate to imagine Ray Ray stepping foot in the new Arrowhead....I can't stand that douche bag.

Oher is good for next week, but I think Reed got his bell rung.

To each his own...I'm sure that upsets him.

As much as Arrowhead is supposedly a tough place to play it hasn't helped us win a playoff game since 1993.

Martyocrity trumps noise.
