Don't forget, the run d had issues last year until Pennel was brought in. The change was immediate and noticeable. WITH Pennel, this DL can both disrupt the pass and stuff the run.

He won't magically fix all the other issues by himself. The linebackers are a major problem, not just against the run but in pass coverage as well.

Mahomes and KC offense will need to be a hell of a lot sharper next week. I think they need 40+ for a chance to win against this Ravens team.

I wouldn't put much stock in that. The Baltimore defense, especially the pass rush, is not as good as the Bolts..but also I think Reid went overboard with hiding strats this week making them look worse than they really are. Next week they will really open up the playbook. I imagine CEH and Mahomes will control the clock and force Lamar to play from behind.

They can’t play bad and beat Baltimore no but if we learned anything today it’s that what happened the week before means nothing. Everyone thought based on week 1 that KC would wipe the floor with LA — but it sure as heck didn’t go that route.

Hopefully KC learns from this, is better conditioned, and can come out playing great ball next Monday.

Pennel won't magically fix everything, but he CAN ensure inside runs get stuffed early, forcing teams to bounce runs outside. That will give our shit LBs a bit more time to get into position to bounce off of runners, hopefully tripping them up or slowing them down enough to allow for gang tackles (i.e. hold them up so Clark, Jones, or Honey Badger can come flying in and lay a stick on them)

This is going to be a really difficult test. The Ravens are tough and we have tons of flaws. Mahomes can overcome them and I imagine Reid has a lot of stuff schemed up for this game in particular.

I think it's a touch less favorable than a coin flip for us. But whatever, it's a long season. And the game is entirely winnable.

frozenchief
09-20-2020, 06:56 PM
1. Our O Line better play better than today or its a long game

2. Our run defense better step up or we are in for a long game

3. Our tackling better improve or we are in for a long game

Is it just me or did Mahomes seem off with Hill and Kelce today? I know there was that 53 yard TD but several dropped passes or passes where they were not looking. DOn’t know who that’s on but it just seemed that they were off.

Baltimore will be a big test early in this season.

I think it's safe to assume that he will not be playing this Sunday. That was a dirty hit (and that should had been a penalty).

I don’t know how we are going to stop their rush attack. Pennel will help but god help us with these LB’s.

Neimann is going to get bullied 5 yards down the field before he lays a hand on the ball carrier.


Watching that guy play on early downs actually makes me miss Reggie Ragland.

You give and take. Obviously we'll have a lot to handle with Baltimore's running game. It's basically a 3 or 4 headed monster at this point.

On the flipside I don't think they have the Chargers pass rush. Chargers pass rush is legit. They terrorized Joe Burrow last week and today really gave Mahomes a challenge. It really disrupts an offense.

Hammock Parties
09-20-2020, 07:01 PM
It doesn't matter. They are fake news. Their QB is still a RB who pretends to throw. No such pretender to Mahomes' throne will ever usurp his power.

I think we’re used to obsessing about the flaws on our team, because we still aren’t used to having the greatest talent in the history of football playing QB for us.

Other teams have flaws, significant ones too. No other team has Mahomes to almost always mask those flaws though.

Teams have played really well against us on our bad days, yet no one has beaten Mahomes by more than 8. That means EVEN AT OUR WORST, we’re still just one break away from winning when Mahomes is our QB.

Baltimore absolutely has flaws. Their safeties are a couple of Jordan Lucas-type special teamers. They don’t get a ton of pressure typically. There’s no real game-wrecker in their front 7. Their QB has still not proven himself as a passer against a great defense or against a great team.

We have flaws too of course, but we also have Mahomes. We can play poorly and be in any game at the end. No other team in the league today (maybe ever really) can say that.

I think the Ravens game will be easier. Chargers have legitimately the best D in the league, even without James. Ravens D on the other hand is average. Their DL is weaker than ours and as already mentioned they are also weaker at the Safety position.
We should score at will against them.

We have a lot of injuries, but no one overly impactful. Might cause some issues for the season as a whole, but we can get by for another week.

If Watkins is back, we have our whole group of offensive weapons. Our offense will decide this game. Come out strong and play with a lead. Do that, and we’ll be fine.

The problem I am having right now, even though supposedly Pennel will be back, it still does not address the LB issue.

Unless Spags realize that Ben Niemann is not the answer, I most certainly would not want Niemann spying against Lamar Jackson. That won't end well.

I also am hopeful that Clark is fine. I know it said illness, I just hope it isn't that same illness that made him lost weight during the beginning of the 2019 season (on top of that neck injury, if I recall).

Chief Northman
09-20-2020, 07:45 PM
Be great to get Pennel back, but I never thought I’d miss Ragland - the Chiefs linebackers are complete ass. Missed tackles, blitzing right into bodies, bad pursuit angles - atrocious. That heavy run offense in Baltimore will be a handful unless the D line can keep the second level relatively clean.

Chris Jones was a huge disappointment today. He did not give a shit on most running downs, and was turning his back to O-linemen and easily getting washed. He got a couple pressures but then ends up taking a stupid penalty that luckily was not terribly costly. This guy needs to be an every down player because he sure as hell is paid like one. I’m pretty sure he’s going to get called out by Daley and Spags. Frank Clark sick? I guess it can happen, but it would be nice if this guy could get right for an entire campaign. Thornhill is nowhere near game shape yet, and Sorenson has struggled tackling. The Chiefs are going to need a Herculean effort to come out of Baltimore with a win next week.

Take the W and run. Hopefully the Chiefs get some bodies back from the injury list this week.

We can’t use this game as a gauge for how it will go against Baltimore. This team struggles against strong defensive lines. Take a look at the SB and today. Baltimore doesn’t have the D-Line to do what those two teams do. Plus we usually have one poorly played game a year. Also SD plays this team tough. If we can contain their running game I think we win relatively easily.

It’s going to be tough no doubt.

Need to get off to a much better start offensively. Baltimore’s DL is not good enough for the Ravens to rush four and succeed.

Watson found a lot of time to throw and deliver the ball downfield. CB and S depth is an issue for the Ravens.

KC can’t live with Ben Niemann on the field against the Ravens. Hopefully we see Gay at SLB and Wilson at WLB. They are much more effective vs the run with that alignment.

Pennel back should help too.

From Ravens tape, still doesn’t look like old Lamar is confident throwing the ball outside the hashes. If you can find a way to cover up The middle of the field I don’t think he can damage you as much with th pass.

Did you watch the Steelers today? They damn near lost to a Donko team that didn't have their starting QB after the opening drive of the game. The Donkos are missing several of their best players and they don't have many good ones.

The Patriots have looked like shit tonight versus the Seahawks. Newton has made a lot of stupid mistakes and they just don't have many play makers.

I haven't heard exactly when. But Andy said in his presser last week that Ward wanted to play right after he got injured, and that his return was going to be week to week. I took that to mean he could've played today. Or next week, or basically whenever he felt and good and the docs said he was okay to play.

Yeah, it's an offense designed to cut the field in half for QBs that aren't good at reading defenses. It's the same offense that Roman installed for Kaepernick because he couldn't read a defense either.

Also worth mentioning the Ravens OL is not playing at the same level as last year. Yanda is gone, Stanley is dinged up.

I’m excited to see what tricks Reid and Spanuolo have been holding onto.

We haven’t seen much of Mecole Hardman or Willie Gay Jr.

In general, I’m worried about LB and tackling. They definitely miss Breeland’s physicality on the WR screen game. I’m sure that’s been noticed.

You have to have a front 4 like the Chargers in order to limit Mahomes...KC has long developing plays. He was having to get the ball out quick...which kind of screws up how Reid designs this offense.

SF held him in check for most of the SB...and it was one of his worst games until half way through the 4th...kind of like today.

Ravens dont have that...they'll have to dedicate extra players to get pressure.

The Chargers...even before today...have given Mahomes some if his worst performances.

Chiefs will need to be better, no doubt.

But---Mahomes lives in Lamar's head. I think deep down he knows he can't beat him.

And, this game is their Super Bowl, they need this game a lot more than we do. They are in a tougher division--Pittsburgh appears to be back, and I believe if they lose they will take a major step back.

Quite possibly a preview of the AFC Championship game.

Hopefully we can get healthy by Sunday

How is that going to happen? In order for the Shitbirds to get to the AFCCG, they have to actually win a playoff game. So far, playoff defenses have been able to shut down their running back behind center by forcing him to complete passes outside the hashes, which he is unable to do with any consistency. They'll be one and done again, unless they get a crappy team that backed into the playoffs. Then they'll still lose in the divisional round.

Sooner or later it probably will happen. Let's not forget that up until the Chiefs actually won the Super Bowl, people said the same exact things about the Chiefs and Mahomes. Which, as we all know now, was utter BS. The Ravens are a pretty good team and Lamar is a pretty good QB. And they will earn a playoff berth more often than not for the next 3 or 4 or 5 years or more. So it's just smarter to know right now that eventually they will win a playoff game and we probably will end up seeing them in the playoffs.

Until they win one, they are the Chiefs from 1994-2017. A team that looks fierce in the regular season, but can't get it done in the playoffs.

Their defense is not on LA’s level IMHO — just saying

They have talent on defense no doubt, but is their D-Line good enough to pressure Mahomes without committing extra guys to do it? That’s what the Chargers were able to do as well as the Niners in the SB.

KC needs to play a crisper 1st half, no doubt.

And as good as Humphrey and Peters are (extremely good, elite pairing), their third CB situation is much, much worse than the Chargers'.

With their slot CB blowing out his knee yesterday, the Ravens will be down to either playing a pretty bad player on the slot, or flipping Humphrey onto the slot and using Jimmy Smith at outside CB. Either option makes them worse overall at CB and worse at S, where Smith had been getting some reps.

It's a much, much different defensive matchup to face than the Chargers.

Judon is good. He's no Joey Bosa. Calais Campbell is good, but he isn't what he once was (and honestly I'm not sure he is better at this point than Jerry Tillery, who was the THIRD-BEST guy on the Chargers' DL yesterday).

It's an incredibly tough matchup, but I'm more concerned with slowing down the Ravens' running game (which seems impossible if Ben Niemann is on the field in base 43 sets) than with being able to move it offensively.

Great question.

The Ravens' top 4 "front-line" defenders are:

Calais Campbell
Matthew Judon
Derek Wolfe
Brandon Williams

Calais likely would start, but he'd be the third-best guy, at best, for LAC, and with the way Tillery has come on and how good Linval Joseph is (An underrated addition by the Chargers), that's not a slam dunk anymore.

Baltimore is probably going to have to move Marlon Humphrey to the slot based on everything I’ve read and that isn’t good cause then they’re going to have to provide their best cover corner help a lot as he will see plenty of Tyreek.

Man we need Watkins to get out there for this one but I’m not counting on it. He could roast Peters and run right through him with the ball in his hands. Of course, Hardman might just run away from him anyhow.

Their rush is 2019 49ers-ish at this point.

The best way to negate their running game is for our offense to come out crisp and put points up early.

Every game is important with the new playoff setup. Baltimore is a powerhouse with an easier schedule than KC. I don’t see the Ravens losing more than 2-3 games in the regular season.

Chiefs will need to be a lot sharper moving forward if they want to be the #1 seed. 3 of their next 4 games are against teams that are very capable of winning the conference. Gotta play a hell of a lot better than yesterday or it will be 3 quick losses.

This is obviously the most likely loss on the schedule for us.

Cam Newton isn’t winning a shootout with Mahomes. Russell Wilson cooked their defense, and we have better weapons.

We just won the most difficult divisional game on our schedule. I’m assuming 6-0 in the Division.

Jets, Panthers, @ Dolphins, and Falcons should all be wins.

That leaves @ Buf, @ TB, and @ NO. We’re better than all 3. Significantly better at QB especially.

Win on Monday and I bet we go at least 13-3.

Pretty much how I see it. Baltimore's schedule is really soft. Maybe they lose one to Pittsburgh, and another to either the Patriots or Titans, but that's about it. No other winning teams on their schedule. Best guess is they'll either be 14-2 and own the tie-breaker with us, or be 13-3 and we own it.

Yeah the only thing that makes me nervous is our LB’s, especially against a run heavy team.

Chargers have a top 3 defense and Kenneth Murray’s addition along with Jerry Tillery’s ascension made them even better. They might actually be the best defense in the league this year, and as much as it sucks, it looks like Tillery is going to be really good like Chris Jones.

Chiefs played them in game 3 last season...when they were still learning Spagnuolo's system and Pennel wasn't on the team yet.

I think KC kind of slept on the Chargers...thinking Taylor was the starting QB. Pretty much everyone thought this was going to be a massacre.

They did not have much energy and kind of seemed disinterested...LA had this game penciled on their schedule. Chiefs are SB champs...they are going to get every team's undivided attention.

Their D-line dominated...even Schwartz played like shit.

Chiefs went from a well-oiled machine to bumbling in a week...it happens when a team thinks they are just going to roll an opponent. The officiating didn't help... Browns beat the Ravens last year...

Remember when the Kyle Orton led Chiefs beat Rodgers in his prime...Packers had a 19 game winning streak.

Watson is also known to hold onto the football too long. It’s probably even worse without Hopkins out there.

Nobody is saying the Ravens can’t generate pressure, but they don’t have a pass rush like the Chargers/49ers (not even close really) and that is clearly what it takes to slow this offense down.

Starting fast with big plays will be "here we go again" for the Ravens and might cause them to play tighter.

Yup. This needs to be repeated: the Chargers only blitzed Mahomes twice yesterday. That was it. And one of those was the 21 yard run that Pat burned them with bc they over pursued.

Mahomes. Manning. Brady. Wilson. Doesn’t matter what great QB it is. It’s been proven again and again that in order to frustrate these guys you have to have a damn good front that only rushes 4 along with a good secondary.

SAN FRAN in the sb were a bigger challenge imo. Much better d-line..a running game who have a ton of tricks/speed and were running over everyone...a defense ranked second..a stud TE and an established WR. Oh..and one of the best offensive minds in the game (plus his dad) had two weeks to prepare. Playing the Pats in 2018 was also tougher imo.

Lamar didn't, though. Ingram and the backs had a great game last year against the Chiefs.

Last year's run defense was TRASH going into the game against the Ravens.

Lamar rushed 8 times for 46 yards. That 5.8 yards per carry mark was the FIFTH BEST against him all last year. That's right, he average 6ypc or more in 11 of 16 regular season games.

He's not going to run wild on the Chiefs, Spags will make sure of it. The questions is whether or not that can stop the backs.

I really want to unleash Gay on the Ravens. Line him up to both run blitz/ go get Lamar.

If we don't get in the backfield quick its going to be a long day with our crap linebackers.

On offense we need to score early and often to put the pressure on. Ravens offense is not made to play from behind.

We beat the ravens most of the time. We have the edge but I could see us losing this one and it doesn't bother me. They can't and won't beat us at full strength.

If our D gets their shit together and we don't get off to a quick enough start, we will win. I'm just not overly confident in our defense at this point in the season.

I’ve read some saying that Gay isn’t ready mentally, and that he looked to be thinking too much in his limited snaps yesterday.

Okay.... but the current LBs could think as fast as they want and it doesn’t matter cause they’re not athletic enough, and they don’t tackle all that well.

Kid needs to take some lumps IMO if that’s what it takes to get him out there.

I was glad to see this as well, but the concussion protocol doesn't care about what a player thinks about their situation. He looked like he could barely walk yesterday after that hit. I'll be absolutely shocked if he's on the field next week.

We really can't be sure. Wilson had a similar issue after his collision with Herbert and he was back out there a few minutes later.

I've read that the retirement of Yanda has noticeably weakened their O-line.

I’m just not that worried about our defense long term.

If we can start the season like 7-1 or 6-2 at worst, I think we’ll see them turn it on late like last year.

Getting Pennel, Saunders, Ward, and Breeland back will be huge. You have to think that Thornhill will start getting back in game shape at some point. I wouldn’t be surprised if Gay emerged in the second half as well.

Hitchens has been attrocious thus far. Gay hasn't had a lot of snaps but his speed and athleticism is evident. Maybe he has not been able to read schemes that well which is what is limiting his play. Pennel will be a huge addition for sure. Hopefully we can get Ward back as well.

That's not what the Raven fans seem to think. Word is they are missing Marshall Yonda pretty bad and their replacement rookie is getting pushed around. Also they simply CANNOT rush just four guys when it comes to their D-Line...they just aren't getting home and as a result they have to blitz a ton and we all know how Pat does against the blitz.

Maybe if you start actually watching football instead of spewing garbage stuff, then I'll lay off of you.

Problem is, you aren't. You're throwing up wild claims about situations. Like Andy's clock management. That wasn't an issue, yet you're making it an issue.

Then now it's the Steelers. We don't play the Steelers in the 2020 regular season.

And Baltimore isn't that good, especially their run blocking, which UChieffyBugger and htismaqe has pointed out correctly.

You want me to lay off of you? Then start making correct claims.

Somebody hasn't watched any Ravens football this year.

LOL Lamar Jackson got sacked FOUR TIMES on Sunday against the same rush our line man-handled easily :evil:

You just can't handle anyone that doesn't fall to their knees and declare every play on the Chiefs to be the best in the world.

We don't know each other so i guess you just caught your wife fucking the postman so you are raging at everyone. Fucking dickhead.

No, I just can't handle anyone that spews unverified claims with nothing to back it up or very thin evidence to back it up.

Have a good day and enjoy getting smacked up by other CP members calling you out for your awful takes.

Peace.

And Lamar led them in rushing with 45 yards against Cleveland. Their RB's averaged a whopping 3ypc.

Sure seems like the Ravens are always thought to have an “elite defense”. Maybe people just remember the Ray Lewis-Ed Reed days.

Their defense was nothing special last year. And it’s nothing special this year.

Ravens were a top 3 defense last year.

This year through the first two games, the Ravens lead the NFL in fewest points allowed (22), takeaways (five) and have allowed the third-lowest quarterback rating (76.8) to opposing quarterbacks. After racking up four sacks and 13 quarterback hits in Week 2.

Granted they did play the Browns Week 1.

Strong first opening post. I can get that point of view. But the Texans aren't that good either as they have O'Brien as their coach and outside of Watson, they really don't have much playmakers.

I mean, the Chiefs literally drugged them across the field in week 1 as well. The final score is misleading as it looks closer than it appears. It was 31-7 by the 4th quarter.

I would also caution that last year could be a little misleading because having the luxury of playing the awful Browns, Pittsburgh with no Big Ben, and the horrendous Bungels twice. Just something to ponder about.

Andy absolutely fucked up the clock against the chargers. At the very least he could have used a timeout so the Chargers couldn't run the clock down before the fieldgoal. He also didn't use a time out in our final drive until Mahomes did it for him. Reid clock management was saved by our HOF QB. If Alex Smith was still our QB we would have lost because of Andy's shitty clock management and everyone would have been raging again, like they we did before.

not really even though point though, isn't it.

The real point is your overwhelming urge to be a fucking prick instead of just talking about stuff.


We'll see how good the Raven's Oline is next week.

Having Pennel back will be a huge help, Saunders on IR. I don't know if Okafor or Ward will be back either.

When did Andy supposedly screw up the clock? Because I don't recall at any time at the end of that game thinking "why isn't Andy calling a TO?" Not one time. And I'm usually the one screaming at the TV, "CALL TIME OUT, FFS!!! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?"

Also I had 3-4 Chiefs fans watching that game with me and not one of them said one word about cvalling a TO.


So I'm curious when that happened. Maybe I was in the head.

Ravens were a top 3 defense last year.

The Dolphins, Cardinals, Browns twice, Bengals twice, Rams, Bills, Steelers without Ben twice and the Jets all helped them achieve that #3 ranking.

Maybe the Chiefs can just forfeit the game against the POWERHOUSE RAVENS. They look unbeatable, even though Mahomes is undefeated against them. The sky is falling, Chiefs are only 2-0 so far this season. LOL!!

We have to hope that Pennel and Saunders will change our run defense.

I had hoped our "Make a rookie QB look like a HOFer" days were over. :huh:

Well look at the bright side. We made the stops when we absolutely needed to and held them to only 20 points. Without our 2 starting outside CBs, our best pass rusher and our best run stuffing DT, against a QB they weren't prepared for, the results weren't all that bad.

This seems to be the narrative. The haters cannot wait for Mahomes to lose so they can start up the Jackson is better bullshit.

The Chiefs have won 11 straight- including 6 straight when down by 10 points (an NFL record) and we are treated like the Jets going into Baltimore.

Chargers were fired up and given a lot of calls by the refs- and still lost. Somebody please give the Chargers a Blue ribbon for 3 quarter winners!

We heard all this same shit about the Unstoppable Ravens before our Home Opener last year- and we beat them soundly. Their defense can't stop us, and Lamar can't play from behind.
