Throw in all the "Chiefs get all the calls" and Swift stuff that no Chiefs fans care about, and you can understand the short fuses. I think Sunday will be a classic, would a convincing Bal win surprise me? Hardly...we have all seen a team play out of their minds on a SB run. Would a Chiefs upset surprise me? Like many, I buried this team in Dec. (for me it was the raiders loss) only to see a HoF coaching staff make the necessary adjustments to re-animate the O, Kelce hopefully healing, PM reinvigorated by sitting WRs that couldn't sort it out, Edwards-Helaire looking like a rookie, and the OTs minimizing their mind-numbing frequency of errors. Hope it's clean and injury-free on both sides!

That makes sense. I can tell there's definitely some projection in terms of visitors all being lumped in together. Nothing I shouldn't expect, and no one is forcing me to be here.
I personally hope the Ravens/Chiefs can become a bit of a rivalry. The Ravens have had healthy rivalries with the Steelers and Patriots that were mostly defined by mutual respect. No real animosity in the way that most rivalries are defined. The Ravens had to prove they belonged with Pittsburgh/New England before it truly became that since those two teams were entrenched, and they'll need to do that with KC too. But there's a reality where teams can play each other tough and the fanbases begrudgingly respect what the other is about without it turning into vitriol. Steelers/Ravens is honestly a love/hate sort of thing. Doesn't seem like Chiefs fans respect the Ravens very much, but maybe the Ravens winning this weekend will change that.
