If they actually win it all it would be insanity

Feeling the same.

If the Ravens are a team of destiny, no shame in losing.

We had a fun year making Tyreek and Josh bend the knee, and some years that will have to be enough.

In the end we will not embarrass ourselves.

90pct sure they rotate the timing of the AFCCGs every season.

We were the late game last year, the early one the year prior, etc etc.

Saw Thuney after the game taking pics with his family in the stands. You would’ve never known there was any sort of injury at all, if that counts for anything.

Yeah, this is the case.

The Ravens are a different level of test.

DeCosta did a great job filling out their roster this year. The defense is good at every level and there isn’t a true weak spot.

Their corners aren’t excellent/awesome, but they’re good. Even if Humphrey is out.

Kansas City is going to have to play a great game to get this one. Defensively, I think Spagnuolo and company can contain and hold down the Baltimore offense. Moving the ball is going to require a great gameplan and good protection that lets Playoff Patrick Mahomes do his thing.

KC can win, but I will have no where close to the confidence I had going into yesterday.

He missed two throws.

Pity he didn't hit those for TDs or you're looking at 19/23 for 245ish yards and 4 TDs

Mahomes is locked in. Nothing is phasing him.

While I partially agree, we’ve just played 2 extremely beat up defenses missing lots of key players. Won’t be the case Sunday.

Baltimore will use the same playbook Cinci did last month and Buffalo did yesterday. Run the ball, short throws, lots of QB runs. Try to keep the chains moving. Whether that's successful or not really depends on offense's ability to score. We will need WR contributions from more than just Rice again.

This week is gonna be boring.

I'm not saying the Chiefs are guaranteed to win, but the Ravens struggled in the first half against an above average Texans team. Were Ravens sleepwalking through the first two quarters and then they finally woke up? Maybe. Or maybe it was the Texans who who were just in over their heads.

I think our D can hang with the Ravens. Just worried about them running all over us with Lamar and Edwards. Obviously Harbaugh saw last night's game and will try and copy what Buffalo did.

Probably a good game to activate Buggs and hopefully get Nnadi back.

Would mind seeing KC go big sometimes with Omenihu, Pennel, Buggs, and Jones across the front to help shut down that run game.

Exactly, it’s a rotation

The AFCCG will be at night next year

What worries me more than the past 2 games is the Ravens have the players to run the defense that LV ran against us. And it was extremely frustrating for Patrick. Fins and Bills couldn’t run that because they were missing so many starters. But I fully expect their DC to look at that Faders game as the best way to contain our offense. It worked unbelievably well for the Fade. 5-2-4, spy Mahomes, double Kelce. The only saving grace is MVS looked competent last night. Raiders basically let him run free because they weren’t worried about him at all. But last night he made some incredibly tough catches. If we can get that MVS for the next 2 games, we should win another ring!

Donovan Smith is a much better pass blocker than Wanya Morris. The line play blew up the Raiders game.
