It reminded me of those 2021 games, like against the Cowboys where neither team really had anything on offense, but the score may have been exactly the same... and it's just uncomfortable for people.

I read a few "the offense will have to win this" comments when the Ravens were driving a bit, and sure enough, Lamar throws an interception.

I totally get why they're uncomfortable in the sense that crazy shit happens, but just assuming it will happen and the defense will fail is kind of absurd at this point of the season, and against an offense like that... because Chiefs has no bounds.

I'm twelve pages late but this is exactly what I saw too. Start of the 3rd quarter, only thought in my mind was...just don't let them back in the game with a turnover.

I had zero doubt that we would see first half offense if we needed to open it up again. Pat and kelce were on fire and those windows were tight. We weren't scheming guys wide open like in Buffalo. We had to be aggressive to get that lead. The plan was to put the pressure on Baltimore and watch them crumble. It worked.

LOL Romo has done how many Chiefs games at this point? We always defer so he is a proven dumbass. He's the guy that dropped the snap on a FG and he cost his team the game. That's who he is.

We probably did. You want to score first against Baltimore to force them to throw more often. We saw how shitty that offense is in the 2nd half when they are playing behind.

Generally you want to defer to make sure you get ball first in second half. Analytics generally say there is a slight advantage in doing that. Its just that the Ravens are exponentially better playing from a league than behind that it is probably a wash at best.

Not sure what show it is but Simms explaining to Florio Mahomes' greatness was beautiful to watch. Florio looked like he was at a funeral.

That end zone pick was one of the worst decisions I've ever seen in the playoffs. Sometimes guys get baited or the scheme is just excellent. Not this time, that was just ****ing double coverage with a guy reading the routes. When he released it, it was obvious it was triple coverage.

He biffed that one in a giant way. That one is inexcusable.

Is there anything you think you don’t know better than our coaching staff?

Look...I get what he's saying but ultimately I think it's a cop out fir just how bad they reacted to Baltimores adjustments on defense. It also allowed our defense to be on the field all half and the Ravens moved the ball at will in the 2nd half.

Similar to the Jordan Love throw against the Niners last week.

I genuinely think he just threw it when Likely put his hand up signaling he got behind the defense, completely ignoring the coverage. Theres no other explanation i can think of for why he'd throw it there. And on top of that, it was just a horrible ball. Uncatchable, behind him, right into triple coverage. Just a horrible decision.

I mean, it's not because Chiefs. It's because Reid. Hindsight being 50/50 we can all celebrate because we won, but it's not a fluke that he was 4-3 (now 5-3) in playoff games that his teams led by 10+ at the half. I still think they throttled WAAAAYYYYY too early and it took some egregiously stupid football by the Ravens to help secure the win.
