If the Bills screwed up one thing in a major way, it's that they didn't attack downfield enough at any point until the end. (I'm not saying Allen throwing downfield is comparable to Lamar.)

It's a challenge. We match up well with them in a lot of ways. This is going to be one of the coolest games we've had in a long time and it's gonna come down to Mahomes' ability to dissect the Mike Macdonald plan. He's very Spags-like in devising his game-specific schemes and he's going to try to confuse Mahomes. Spags is going to try to confuse Jackson. We know who will have the advantage there all else equal based on processing ability alone.

I hope our LBers are ready to step up. (We...need...Willie...Gay)

Can't wait. Should be one of the coolest games on the 2nd biggest stage. Excited to see what Spags will cook up to confuse Jackson. Bring our trophy home! My prediction is that the Chiefs' are going to lean on the run game and #10. Ravens' run defense vs. gap runs might be the closest thing they have to a "weakness." Also, Chiefs are going to want to keep the Ravens' offense off the field...and Allegretti is better as a run blocker than a pass blocker. (Unlike Thuney, who's better at pass blocking.)

BUT... I trust in Andy! If Mahomes goes off with a big passing game, I'm down. Andy knows best. A win is a win.
