Long time lurker, first time poster.

I live in Baltimore, and have been a Chief's fan for many years. I will be going to the game Sunday wearing my red and gold, but i figured i would throw my few cents into our chances Sunday after reading some comments in this thread.

Homerism aside, we have a slim chance.

Ravens D versus Chiefs O - Advantage Ravens. The Ravens have a new DC but the scheme remains largely the game. They will blitz early and often. Their only real weak spot is their CB's. They are vulnerable to the double moves (if we even have time to run them) and always go for the big play (Pick-6) instead of making the tackle. If we are smart we will try to take advantage of this. We should pass to run, quick screens, bubbles and slants are how Pittsburgh beats Baltimore. When we run, have to hit the A gap. Counters won't work as their LBs are too quick.

Ravens O verus Chiefs O - Push. The Ravens are exploring passing the ball much more this pre-season and season. Its everywhere in the local papers. They can run with McGahee, Rice and McClain (in short yard situations). However, they want to make Flacco the next Roethlisburger. Flacco does not read zone coverage well. If we are smart we will throw a lot of different looks at him.

In the end, we cannot beat them, but I just hope we make it competitive. The Ravens are a good team, but they struggle with passing teams and IF we don't make any mistakes with the ball on offense, we will stay in the game. Here's hoping!

I personally don't think we were as active as we needed to be. When we traded Gonzo and locked Cassel in, upgrading our OL became more urgent. At least with Gonzo the QB could just chuck it 20 yards down the field blindly and know that he had a better than 60% chance of seeing #88 catch it in quadruple coverage.

That said, at least we didn't just stay put with Macintosh. With Ndukwe we might have a big problem. With Macintosh we were certain that we did.

**the Talking Can** · 09-10-2009, 12:48 PM

and the people who will never forgive pioli for one decision out of a hundred he's made since arriving are the same people who swore up and down that Hamon Meredith would solve our RT problem if only we had drafted him....but they're still genious-es apparently...

childish, dis-honest, assholes....

Excellent rebuttal, as always.

Is he not responsible for mistakenly thinking Goff was the answer at RG?

Is he not responsible for mistakenly thinking McIntosh was the answer at RT, and going 98% of the offseason without looking for a replacement?

Is he not responsible for thinking the worst center in the NFL could push the 2nd worst center in the league?

You act like he's made one bad decision. If you want to continue to bury your head in the sand and think that, go right ahead. For every decision he's made that appears it may work, there's 5 or more bad decisions that can be referenced.

Sorry, but I expect a bit more from the Executive of the Decade when it comes to talent evaluation.

Chiefnj2 · 09-10-2009, 12:49 PM

The same 5 or 6 people are always overly critical and it all seems to stem from one personnel decision that didn't go their way.

You REALLY think this is about ONE decision?

I expect this type of BS from TTC. You're smarter than that.

I think people went from "lets wait and see... it's fair to give him some time" to being overly critical once he signed Cassel.

I'd be bitching about not protecting our franchise QB had we drafted Sanchez, just like I am now.

This isn't a Cassel-Sanchez debate. It's about taking steps to protect your investment at the most important position.

It's okay, we've got a GREAT crop of QB's to choose from this year if Cassel dies.

**the Talking Can** · 09-10-2009, 01:20 PM

we haven't played one game...not a single game

and we already have someone with a sub-human intelligence declaring our GM "shameful"....

this passed for intelligence on the planet....this is what the smart people think
