His yards per attempt, yards per game, and attempts per game are lower than any year other than when he was a rookie. And this isn’t a stat that is readily available, but I can tell you from watching the games that there are far fewer designed runs/RPOs than ever before. He runs when the opportunity is there now, kind of similar to Mahomes’ scrambles.

We saw what Pat did to a better Buffalo team when they tried the same bullshit chant...uh oh

Shit guys.

Patrick Mahomes just had the fewest passing yards/gm in his career and the most rushing yards he's ever had.

Guess he's a running quarterback now.

Learn something new everyday. Man it's nice to have the Ravens fans around to sort us out...

And they ran into you guys. Certainly a fate that could befall us too. You’re the boogeyman.

We simply don't give a ****. Don't you get it? You are throwing out all these regular season numbers and they mean jack shit. You're facing Playoff Pat. You're facing a pissed off Lavon. This isn't the same team at all that slept walk through the regular season.

This is the best HC in the NFL, a HOF QB, and one of the best playoff DC in NFL history that has the best defense in the NFL.

YOU SHOULD BE AFRAID and you are.

I printed off your posts and wiped my ass with them. That is what "on paper" means to us as we roll into our SIXTH straight AFCC game

Pretty much what I came to say. This BAL defense is leagues/lightyears better than the two defenses we just beat to get here. MIA/BUF defenses were practically just window dressing with all their injuries.

BAL, on the other hand, is healthy on defense. And they generated the most turnovers in 2023 vs. teams that passed between the numbers, with something like 19 if I heard the guy on the radio correctly. And our WRs don't win a lot down the boundaries. And they're pretty good vs. the run as well.

So that'll be the test for KC right there. Can we still run the ball and throw it between the numbers vs. BAL? Because that's where our offense lives this season.

You’re doing tricks on these takes.

“He won’t be good when he’s 33!”

“He’s a RUNNING QB!”

Who cares? He’s the current MVP hosting a home AFCCG. Keep grasping onto whichever straws you want to.

Holding out hope he becomes a savant one day.

Sure, that’s fair. The Ravens have to win the game. But these narratives re. “choker” and whatnot are true until suddenly… they’re not.

Peyton Manning was once a choker before he won two SBs. Lebron couldn’t get over the hump until he did again and again and again.

Enjoy the take while it lasts.

Literally last week, the Texans tried that by blitzing 3x as much as they typically do, and it worked for a whole half before the Ravens adjusted in game and pummeled them in the second half.

Good thing for Chiefs fans that Spagnuolo is calling the game and not you.

You talk pretty tough for a franchise that’s won 2 playoff games in 6 years

Can you put the 3 year old on here. They’ve gotta be more knowledgeable about football than you, apparently.

All of these posts in thus thread and on the Ravens board spying? Reek with fear of the Chiefs. Fear of Pat. Fear of Lamar shitting his pants again on the biggest stages.

Attempts per game:

2018 - 9.2
2019 - 11.7
2020 - 10.6
2021 - 11.1
2022 - 9.3
2023 - 9.25

Sure, this year is lower but you’re talking about a very slight difference and using that to claim he’s a different player.

Right around .05 attempts lower than last year. Dude, that’s nothing. If he played 16 games last year, he would’ve had 1 more rushing attempt than this year. 1. That’s it.

I don’t see why it would be a good thing that his yards per attempt are down. Sounds like he either 1) isn’t running away from guys like he used to or 2) teams are learning how to slow down his runs and take better angles. Not sure Id brag about that. It’s counter to the idea that “he runs when the opportunity is there”.

If he only ran when it’s wide open like you’re suggesting, attempts would be way down and yards per carry would be up.

Why don’t you prove to us how much you believe this. Go put a 1k wager on this exact scenario. You’ll get amazing odds. Post the ticker so we can see this is how you ACTUALLY feel, not just some message board speak!

Prove it, or shit it!

And you guys talk pretty tough for a franchise that until Patrick Mahomes came along had fewer Super Bowls in your entire history going back to the Cuban Missile Crisis than the Ravens did within their first 15 years.

Yeah, that's exactly what we've been saying for the past thousand posts.... beat Mahomes first, then act like your shit doesn't stink.

The pregame bravado before the Ravens have actually accomplished anything meaningful is boring, and frankly sad for a franchise's fans who have see their team win a SB.... we expect the naive bullshit from Bills fans.
