Fellow ravens fan: Well in literally the most recent example possible he had an incredible stat line against the blitz. So...
A handful of posters: Yeah but you played a banged up Texans D that doesn't count our defense is so good you don't even know!
Like, what's happening here. If that's not moving goal posts I don't know what is.
Yes, KC is a good team. Are they as good as in the past couple years? Objectively no, we all agree. But 1) they have a much better defense, one of the best in the league and 2) they have one of the best QBs/TEs of all time who thrive in the playoffs.
We (ravens fans in this chat) are so quick to compliment what KC does well, but the moment we say Lamar did anything well it's "bUt his wOdERLic" or "yeah but that other #1 seed he beat he only beat because you got turnovers", or "well he's a QB I don't his multiple rushing TDs or 100 yards he racked up."
We're moving the goal posts on every single conversation about Lamar and it's baffling to me.
All that said....34-20 Ravens.

I don't think you know what 'moving the goalposts' means.
But if you think THIS defense is anything like The Texans defense from last week, you're in for a surprise.
You're not scoring 34 points. Just forget that.
You might score enough to win, but it won't be 34. Y'all have a good defense, too, and it's possible Mahomes comes up short, but it's not typical. It could happen.
