That won't happen again. He knows better now.
I'm seriously - we can beat that Pats squad by double digits and unless BB pulls out every last trick he has (or Tom Brady pulls off God Mode somehow), we absolutely should.
The Chiefs are a better overall team than the Patriots and have a QB who simply gets better every time he takes the field. This could be a monumental let-down for folks expecting a dogfight.

I can’t remember the exact source, but last week before the playoff game I read an interview with Chad Henne about Pat learning the coverage and reading defenses. He said Pat can now point out what will happen simply by seeing a single defender make moves to signal the defense.
I think you are absolutely right about him getting better since the last Patriot meeting, and quite honestly I’d be damned if the Ravens didn’t expedite part of that process.
Bill ran the cover 0 blitz and mixed other blitzes to appear to be cover 0. The Ravens blitzed over half the time. Don Martindale is one bold sonofabitch that basically took Belichick’s gameplan and put it on steroids.
I agree with what Louis Riddick said yesterday. You aren’t stopping this kid unless you can get consistent pressure with 4 rushers who are athletic enough to keep force Pat to stay in the pocket.
