I don't think we can take a whole lot away from the O-line tonight as far as judging for the Baltimore game. Correct me if I am wrong, but I think Seatle plays a traditional 4-3. The good thing about our O-line is that they practice against a 3-4 everyday, so that should have them fairly well prepared for the Baltimore game. Not to jump the gun on anything, but I think if (and this is a BIG if) we win the turnover battle against Baltimre, we could win that game.

You think the Chiefs have a chance against Baltimore? Are you high?

A little drunk maybe, but not high...

But seriously, this is the NFL. I bet the Miami and Atlanta fans were saying the same thing last year. Baltimore has been up and down for years and they are notorious for losing when they lose the turnover battle. I'm don't think we will win, but I do think we have a chance.

Generally speaking, teams that win the turnover battle win games.

Well, except for the Chiefs last year.

There are some games I think you can sell that they'll have a chance to win...but not Baltimore's home opener.

And Miami's turnaround was due in part to making some move in free agency, including Chad Pennington, and in larger part because they had a weakass schedule.

The Falcons were a team that was accumulating talent for a few years, building around Vick.

It all came together when they drafted Ryan and signed Michael Turner, and they also had a relatively easy schedule.

KC doesn't have the the benefit of either of those scenarios.

They hav marginal talent and a brutal schedule.

I competely agree with you. "generla speaking" teams that win the turnover battle win games, but the Chiefs did not do that last year. I think if they can do that against Baltimore, that would be a huge step in the right direction.

Anyways, I think I have gotten off topic of this thread. The Chiefs vs Baltimore thread will start in a couple weeks (which is awesome). As far as tonight goes, yes a win would be nice, but if our starters are winning when they take the bench, I will be happy. I don't put too much stock into it if the guys fighting for a roster spot blow the game.

Holy shit! Nobody is going to understand this but hell..im happy. AFN is actually showing a Chiefs game! Last year they only showed the pats opener. Will they play anymore games this year? I won't hold my breath.

Again, I don't disagree with you. I by no means think that that the Chiefs are going to win 10 or 11 games, I am just not sold on Baltimore. I have not posted here for a while, but you guys will quickly find out that I am the eternal optomist. I will always find a reason that the Chiefs have a chance to win. I still think the Royals can win the division.........just need to win out. :banghead:

Baltimore has been good for a decade now...it's not like they're some fraud out there.

Right now if Matt Cassel makes it through the first 2 months of the year alive it'll be a good thing.

Baltimore just needs an elite receiver and they're money. Week one is a bona fide asswhopping.

Baltimore

2004 - 9-7
2005 - 6-10
2006 - 13-3
2007 - 5-11
2008 - 11-5

Not exactly what I would call consistant. Up and down for years.

What the hell happened to my SIG PIC?????????

Their defense has been consistent.....now their offense is up and coming with young play makers, if anything they're only going to improve.

Wow.....no matter what happens tonight, at least we aren't the Raiders......37-0......talk about being embarassed.
