Their fans aren’t even remotely close to being over it. There’s an active thread on their board right now with Browns fans talking about how the mere sight of the Ravens fills them with sadness (247sports.com/nfl/cleveland-browns/board/105323/Contents/i-hate-the-ratbirds-225823758/?page=1).

Baltimore fans still held animosity toward the Colts at least through 2006 when the Ravens had the one seed and Manning came to Baltimore for the divisional round, but there’s no real hate left there.

For all the complaining the Browns fans do, which I get, they got to keep their colors/history. It’s frankly insulting to many Baltimore people that the Indy team hangs banner for Baltimore Colts achievements. I mentioned this early, but the Ravens have basically coopted the old Colts. There will
be old Colts at the game this Sunday, and they’re inducted in the Ravens Ring of Honor.

May that fate never befall the Chiefs.

Yep, there are no guarantees, but the comparison is between Mahomes and Brady. Brady's totals came from playing until he was 45. Mahomes is 28, so he has many years of potential yet to play out. Mahomes compares very favorably to Brady at the same point in his career. Whether or not Mahomes continues on the same trajectory will be interesting to see, but who else looks capable of doing so?

You guys sure do love making up preposterous hypotheticals that have no chance of ever occurring and aren’t even useful intellectual exercises because they’re so contrived/realistic to make yourselves feel better.

What you Ravens fans don't understand is that we don't care about your team. At all. The Ravens are this year's obstacle between Mahomes and another ring. That's all. The Chiefs don't care who they play, it doesn't matter. If they don't do stupid shit they'll win.

There's no magic plan that's going make a difference for you. There's no matchup to exploit. There's no edge for you to ride to victory.

Now, KC has had a lot of mind numbingly stupid gaffes this season. Maybe they come out and can't catch the ball again, or fumble the game away. It could happen. I wouldn't bet on it.

Mahomes and the bulk of the team are battle hardened from six straight AFCCGs and three Super Bowls.

No, Lamar is not his equal. Nobody is.

The Ravens are the best drafting organization since they came into the league in 96. Starting with their very first draft being first ballot hall of famers Ray Lewis and Jonathan Ogden. They’re an excellent drafting team now, but I’m talking about a much longer sample size than that.

Lolz

I don't need to make myself feel better, winning Super Bowls feels GREAT.

Let’s play your hypothetical game that you like. Say—and I know this is crazy—the Chiefs lose. Then what? It doesn’t matter and still no one is his equal and the Chiefs beat themselves?

And traded up to get that one.

Correct

They had better cbs, and d-line but ravens have better lb and safties. The eagles don't have the ravens dc he's too good.

Your own arguments have already proven this largely true.

The Chiefs need a QB like Mahomes because the team isn’t "historically great"... and the outcome has been 2 SB wins and 6 consecutive AFCCGs.

The Ravens' "historically great" team doesn't need a QB like Mahomes, but also hasn't won anything at all.

If Lamar hasn't raised the Ravens' less-than-historically great teams to even come close to Mahomes success on relatively just-ok teams, what makes you think the Chiefs would want Lamar?

And if Lamar doesn't win a SB on this "historically great" team after Mahomes has won two on lessee teams, again, why would anyone pick Lamar over Mahomes?

These are your arguments, not ours.

Better roster, better coaching, AND better QB? Yeah I'm taking that team against the shit birds ROFL

Baltimore & Houston both got screwed. Both of them should have been able to keep the name, colors, and history of the Colts & Oilers. Tennessee even rubbed it in the faces of everyone this year by wearing the Oiler throwback uniforms in a game against the Texans. Bud Adams was a d-bag and his children are not much better IMHO.

This is the main reason you're here.

If the Chiefs lose, hey that obviously sucks, but we still have a very solid Defense and some young playmakers in Rashee Rice and Pacheco. As long as Veach continues doing what he's been doing the last 7 years, we'll probably be right in the thick of it next year.

After a couple of recent super bowls and post season success, a loss here and there doesn't hurt too bad. We'll be back.
