All of these storylines of disrespect are so played out looking forward to the game happening so I don't have to run in to these boring narratives.

You're just so above everything and everybody, aren't you?

If you love every single team in every single sporting event endlessly talking about how they are disrespected and everyone counting them out (despite that not being at all rooted in reality) then that is fine. Drink it up.

Neither were Sammy Watkins, Tyson Williams, Devante Freeman.

Dang it I forget on Planet Chiefs regular season games don't count when the Chiefs lose.

The one thing I remember is how much the Ravens wanted that game and how much they celebrated at the end... you'd think it was the AFCCG, the scene
was incredible for being the 2nd week in September (IIRC).

It's what the Chiefs do to teams... knock them off and it's something you watch years later.

It's like our crowning achievement in 2017.

WEEK ONE

https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/f64c4...5&dpr=1&s=none

I believe the Chargers implemented something like that for a win against the Ravens in the playoffs for a win. They matched speed with speed.

Exactly, I remember those days.... granted, never watched that game again.

Come on, you know how the story ends... CEH with a fumble or we win again.

Pre-Mahomes it was maybe the most popular video I ever created, outside the games where our fans were super loud. ROFL

Remind me again which one was it.?

You guys talk all that smack about Lamar and you couldn't beat him with RBs that were literally signed 5 days for the game. Everyvlast one of them. Where's my eyebrow guy, I want to see him walking around shocked about 6:30 Sunday.

Overrated DL. If the OL holds up like it has we will win

That's literally what Mahomes is best at.

Same stuff I saw yesterday when watching the highlights from that game… wet field makes rushing the passer even harder too.

It really wouldn’t surprise me if this turns into a higher scoring game than we expect.

what? i know people from baltimore can barely comprehend english but try to be a little coherent

A neutralization of the pass rush for both teams would massively favor KC.

That depends on how well we weather the storm on the Ravens ground attack. There's no chance we'll stone wall those guys entirely but the key is forcing third and longs. We have to keep them behind the chains and Lamar in the pocket. If we can do that regularly I love our chances with our secondary and Lamar's arm. (I'm still wondering who is going to cover Mark Andrews and how healthy he is.)

What if we just beat the shit out of them?

No way this is real prices?

east coast pricing

I really hate the term "super fan".

It's not.

My guess is someone listed their tickets for stupid money, that guy put it in his cart, took a screenshot, and never completed the transaction.

It wouldn't make any sense paying anything near that. You can find tickets in that area for $1500-2000.

So no, not remotely real. And ticket prices have been pretty stable overall from what I've obserbed.

Keep in mind that these "superfans" want to be in the front row so they will be on tv.

I hope someone does pay that much and the Chiefs win 56-3

Section 210 is not the front row...it's the middle deck at M&T Bank Stadium. Who in their right mind would pay 73K for those mediocre seats? It's probably a fake.

Great point MAG! Must be why their fans are scared shitless!

I’m really hoping in all honesty. All week we’ve heard how they aren’t good enough to beat the Ravens, would be nice to do it by double digits.

You mean I have to buy 2 more now?!

Uh, ok, but that’s not front row where you’d be on TV. And you can sit in the front row for a lot cheaper than that.

A good chunk of the sacks are due to playing absolute dog shit QBs all year. Same with the turnovers inflating their scoring. Theyre....kind of...frauds

And with the 12 and 13 personnel we'll use, to hammer them with a pulling C or G, we'll take advantage of those LB's that everyone drools over.
As beastly as they are there isn't a single one that isn't getting taken out by a pulling lineman. They didn't face a lot of it during the year and most people didn't want to get into a fist fight with the Ravens big boys.
Andy loves to take on a bully head on. We probably will. And when the Ravens run, and they will, it shortens the game and keeps it close. That's not a winning formula to beat Mahomes it's one to allow him the chance to win it at the end.

They're also....kind of...soft. Watching the tape and They're so turnover dependant. ALOT of points due to short fields from mistakes by shit QBs and absolutely fluke turnovers.

What's the Raven's answer if they fall behind by 14?
What's their plan to drop back and sling it 35 times?
All year, win or lose, KC has dictated the game and they've all been the type of game KC wanted to play.
Low scoring with a chance for Mahomes to win it at the end...

The Chiefs with a negative turnover differential still could have EASILY won EVERY game this season . That says alot.

Martyball with a suped up RB playing QB against a HOF coach DC and QB? Yeah I know who I'm picking....

And not a single WR was asked to do anything other than catch the football. They don't have to break one, make a big play, or do anything special. Just catch the damned football and the rest will take care of itself.
People seem surprised that the Chiefs have turned this around. All they ever had to do was catch the damned ball. Now they are. Simple.

And it shows just how good the KC defense is. Our numbers aren't much different and they accomplished it without the benefit of turnovers to help. In fact our offense was turning it over as well which only made the task that much more difficult...

That was literally perhaps the single best moment and biggest win of Lamars career to this point. Congrats to that little guy. Lamar "Do you want to go for it? LAMAR! Do you want to go for it!?? LEGENDS man! Week 2 win!!

8 of their 18 INT's came in the 49ers game, and the Browns game where the opposing qb was DTR.

10 came from 3 games if you include their game against Miami.

Has anyone broken down Lamars playoff career to date?

1.) 23-17 LOSS to old ass Phillip Rivers who only threw for 160 yards and zero touchdowns.
2.) 28-12 LOSS to Ryan Tannehill who threw for 88 total yards.
3.) 20-13 WIN vs Ryan Tannehill who threw for 165 yards.
4.) 17-3 LOSS to Josh Allen and the Bills who the Chiefs freaking HOUSED in the AFCCG the next week. Josh Allen threw for 206 yards.
5.) 34-10 WIN vs rookie CJ Stroud and the Texans team who was on borrowed time.

And the analysts have the BALLS to say this is the best team the Chiefs have ever seen???? Ryan Tannehill and rookie CJ Stroud and a first time coaching staff aren't walking out of that tunnel Sunday.

Mahomes has never lost a playoff game that wasn't the SB in regulation.

One of the best FTF segments ever. Hilarious chemistry and hard hitting analysis from Nick and Brou. If you want to boost your confidence and your low T watch Nick breakdown how Spags has owned Lamar and the second half of games right here, right now.

I do love that show. Wilds seals the deal by being the whitest white guy that's ever white-ed. He looks like a 1920's stock broker. His occasional hip hop missive is so ill fitting and unnatural you can't help but smile, at a minimum..

And if you don't catch the ball, for God's sake don't bat it up in the air for someone else to catch.

Yall keep saying the Ravens played trash QBs. They've played 11 ten win teams and half the playoff field surely those QBs couldn't be trash.

How many of those 11 teams had Pro bowl QB's?

How many of those had b/u QB's?

How many turnovers did those sloppy QB's gift you?

And it really doesn't matter in the end because this week you're playing a HOF QB led by a HOF HC against the best throwing HB in the NFL.

That was the same for the Bills... they had 10 more takeaways than the Chiefs and 7 of them were in two games, picking off Sam Howell 4 times and Zappe 3 times.

Ravens sacked Stroud 5 times in his first career game (didn't record a sack last week) and Minshew 5 times... and then you look at other games and they sacked Burrow once in the first game, Stafford twice, Lawrence once.

It's easy to skew numbers in this league given how many teams are pretty terrible and given how bad the worst of the worst can be.

Which is a great reason why things like DVOA are INTERESTING and DIRECTIVE but not EVIDENTIAL.

The sample size is just so small, that a simple thing like blowing out a collapsing Miami Dolphins team with a vulnerable QB down key pieces of his supporting cast can drastically skew things.

I assume defensive touchdowns still count against the def and offensive turnovers inside our own redzone that still end up in field goals even after a stop can skew how good this d was .

Turnovers are a very noisy stat. A lot of luck involved in fumble recoveries, tipped passes, right place right time INTs. I don’t take the turnover differential between the Ravens defense and the Chiefs defense to mean very much at all.

Our think our offensive can out-pass-protect this defensive line if we’re looking at talent on talent. The question will be how we communicate and deal with the simulated pressures. I don’t see our guys losing many one on one pass protection battles with their defensive line. I think Mahomes will have time to throw more often than not.

I've LOOKED AT THE QBs....pure ****ing garbage schedule you played at avoiding ELITE QBs...and yes the QB you face has a HUGE swing on your precious DVOA. You aren't facing Purty this week on a loaded team. You have a loaded team with the GOAT QB ROFL

Yes! He's one of those 1920s-1950s cartoon images of clean cut white man. Or modern day Mormon.

This week "it's the the show that has recently been heralded as not bad on Twitter". LMAO

Gardener Minshew DeShawn Watson Pad Statford and Kenny Pickett STILL did the job. (Counting the Rams gane as a loss because it was a huge fluke you won btw)

Good point, but it doesn't mean the stat should be ignored. It just needs to be taken with a lot of salt. It could be meaningful, but there are reasons to discount it. It's not nearly as good as a lot of other statistics for predictive purposes.

Also regular season doesn't really count for the Chiefs because they're PROVEN in the playoffs

keep coming up with excuses, because you are going to need more of them tomorrow.

The Ravens set a record for beating 10 win teams this season.

It's probably a stat that didn't exist before this year because nobody has ever bragged about it so much before, especially in a 17 game season where many of those teams are probably masquerading as 9-7 teams.

To put it another way... none of those teams were bragging about their 10 win season and you wouldn't be bragging if the Ravens had a 10 win season.... yet this is clearly super important to you.

It's just not impressive at all, but keep telling yourself it is I guess.

This is what I'm talking about: the Raven's great achievement is beating a bunch of unaccomplished teams in the regular season.

Looks good but what does it mean?

It means you're next...

My brother in Christ, nobody cares. FFS, you should absolutely win this game by 10+. You got the MVP, the greatest D the NFL has ever seen and a game at home. There’s absolutely no way you should lose this game. That would be an absolute complete failure for the Ravens, right? It’s in the bag…

Hey, but the Browns, Texans, and Steelers won 10 games and looked at what they did in the playoffs... how could you not be impressed by beating teams like that in the regular season.

It’s jaw dropping, regular season greatness - like nothing I’ve ever seen before!

Those types of beat downs of regular season opponents haven't been seen since the 90's Chiefs.

And we know the excellence those seasons were fated to end with...

Very reminiscent of the Bills fans of 2020 and '21... December momentums and point differential... oh, and the '19 Ravens, but I guess they'll tell you they were delusional that year and it's totally different this time. :shrug:

And last year's 60 sack Eagles team that had all those sacks in the Super Bowl.

And of those 10-win teams, how many actually were real contenders?

A rookie QB of a team that picked 2nd overall the year before in his first nfl game.

A fraudulent “great” defense Cleveland Browns team, on road, QBed by Dorian Thompson-Robinson.

Detroit at home. Great win. Some team that is drastically different outside the dome? Picks up a lot more steam if the Lions win tomorrow.

Rams at home. Good win. Lucky to get it, honestly.

@ 49ers definitely the best win. Exposed mediocre game manager QB.

Miami at home. Frauds.

Not all 10-win teams are created equal.

Beating teams that got bounced in the first round of the playoffs is a strange set of logic for why you'll go to the Super Bowl.

Especially when your history of doing so is a list of unimpressive failures...

I remember that Bills 2021 defense, DVOA darlings, top-3 ranked in all categories...

The units honestly remind me of each other a ton. Great at LB. Good secondaries. Veteran DL that plays good as a group.

Then Playoff Patrick happened. Went through 'em like a hot knife through better from start to finish, 13 seconds and all.

That Buffalo group blew a lot of teams out too...

Chiefs just downgraded Toney to OUT LMAO

Hard not to feel for the kid. He probably needs this though if he is gonna make something out of his career. He hasn't been all in on football to this point.

Put it on a T shirt ROFL

Reminds me when the Bills had a LEGENDARY point differential one year and the Chiefs curb stomped them in the playoffs. Blew them out

He had his 10 minutes. Many don't get that...

Many don't have his raw athleticism... he could have been a real dude.

One SB and done teams with highly questionable QBs. It is their mana

Wow they listed Toney as out due to his hip and personal reasons.

That doesn't sound good.

They're awful quiet. I have not seen a fan base get absolutely clowned like this in a long time....ouch
