And that’s the regular season team I’m talking about — one that isn’t recognizable compared to the Chiefs we’ve seen in the playoffs.

The blowout takes are valid. This Chiefs team, all season, struggled to even reach 20 points. They've beaten up on some depleted defenses these past 2 games, and still gave horrendous redzone gaffes that keep them from putting up 7.
Baltimore has literally destroyed teams with winning records this year, including treating the assholes of the Lions and Niners like heads of lettuce and two thumb tearing them apart.
For all intents and purposes, this week is the superbowl for the Ravens.
Mahomes is the one thing standing between them and cruising to a title.
The past 4 meetings with the Chiefs, the Ravens have scored 30+ in 3/4, the one exception being a 34-20 win in Baltimore in covid year.
This is the best defense Spags has ever had, but it's tge worst offense Andy has had in the Mahomes era.
If we cashed the redzone, or made less mistakes from the sideline, the talk would be different.
We need a perfect game from the sidelines with no dumbass personnel choices and cute bullshit, and we need the personnel on field to execute at the level they're capable of.
We need Playoff Travis.
We need AFCCG MVS
We need Rice to continue to beast.
We need to feed Pacheco all game.
We need the Grim Reaper.
If we can get one classic Mahomes era offense performance of 30+, Spags and that defense will handle the rbqb.
