The Ravens/Browns have won two Super Bowls. 12 NFL teams have never won a SB. Another 4 have won one. 16/32 with fewer SBs than the Ravens. That doesn't need to be adjusted for any advantageous date.

Our bar for opposing fans is about as low as your bar for calling your team historically great, if that helps.

I suspect he's a victim of the drug epidemic that continues to afflict the dangerous slum that is Baltimore, Maryland. We can't all be so lucky as to be from beautiful Kansas City, Missouri.

In 2012 we were he'll bent on sending Ray Lewis out on top and they o lt way to do that is to won the SB.

If you are as great as you say you are and Mahomes wants to be the GOAT. He's going to need more SBs. 7- 2 won't do it.

Brady won 3 Super Bowls in his first 4 years starting, his 3rd being at age 27. He didn't win another one (his 4th) till 10 years later at age 36.

Mahomes is currently 28. You realize that, right?

God help me, but I think I like Bengals fans better, even though they think their diarrhea-like chilli somehow doubles as actual food.

You know there retort is going to be it wasn't in the playoffs.or the Rams Secondary was garbage.

So that logic should extend to Lamar also, right?

So oddsmakers are factoring in that there's a very good chance the Chiefs players will be held up at gunpoint before, or even possibly during, the game and have their pads/cleats taken from them.

It is shocking...KC's grime is more contained. Tourists in KC don't have to worry about a bags of shit pretending to squeegee their windows outside of an Art Museum or the "Black Hebrew Nation" talking shit and yelling at everybody on the Plaza. Baltimore is a gross city that's lazily ran by criminals.

I can see that. I've just never seen Marty ball beat a QB anywhere close to Mahomes. Throw in the fact we've got a top 2-3 defense ourselves.

Rivalries built on respect are kind of boring, TBH. The blood feud that created the old Chiefs Raiders bar brawls is so much more entertaining. Pure, unadulterated hatred is where it’s at for rivalries.

Sadly, not much of that around any more.

No surprise there. I would imagine folks from Cincinnati, Kentucky and Kansas City, Kansas have more in common than with those of us from deepest, darkest Maryland. Flyover solidarity.

Chiefs fatigue. Happens to opposing fans & talking heads when you're a dynasty in the NFL. The Ravens are perceived by some of those talking heads as having the best "overal team" in the league this season. That's gotten quite a bit of traction since Burrow, Stroud & Allen are no longer in the running or in the headlines. Ravens do have a good roster... and it helps that they've beaten good teams this season. If Ravens victory predictions rev up PM II & co, then I'm all for it. Most of the talking heads picked the Bills.....

Marty-ball had a horrific record in the postseason. The record against elite quarterbacks in the postseason was worse.

And like a fly to a bag of shit, I know you've been waiting for your opportunity to trash Baltimore. Go off, king.

Is Dalvin Cook washed?

Did anyone see him play much last week? I heard he looked pretty good. Him, Edwards, Hill and Jackson will be a tough little stable of RBs to deal with.
