I'm really hoping to see Spags bring 5 (occasionally 6) at a high frequency and leaves Sneed and McDuffie on an island. With more focus on containing and collapsing the pocket than sacks. Make him throw it sooner than he'd like and if he can win that way, so be it.

In Pat I trust in a game the outcome is on the QBs arms.

They moved the ball well then killed their drives with penalties. 11 penalties for 70 yards is brutal.

I'd be fine running the ball, controlling the clock, and finishing drives with TDs. Our defense will probably struggle with the Ravens offense at times, but I think we can pressure Lamar into some mistakes.

Lamar has a bad short passing game but a good long one. Take away the big plays and we win.

Ok… if that makes sense to you.

We lost plenty games because Wink refused to adjust. In 21 we had our entire secondary onnIR. Those that re0laced the replacement were on the field and Wink continues to blitz and leave thise guys on islands. Mac will adjust his team to fit his personnel where as Wink would force the square peg into the round hole or die trying.

Youvgu6svsay those TOs against SF was luck but that was a result of getting Purdy off rythmn. I trust Mike Mc. Will have a good gameplan tomorrow.

He’s going up against Andy Reid in an AFC Championship Game.

That’s the deepest of the deep end of the pool.

I saw a clip earlier of Snoop Dog on McAfee not only picking the Chiefs, but saying the Ravens were the real underdogs in the game.

Who’d a thought that Snoop actually smokes LESS dope than the media and Baltimore fans?

This is true. The Ravens' have almost always had a top-tier run defense, but not this year. It's not a bad run defense, it's just not one of the best in the league. I would argue it's by design. They are willing to let teams run a bit as long as they don't do anything through the air.

The bigger question here is do the Chiefs have a good enough running game to take advantage of this? Will they stick to it even if they're behind in the game? All of the teams you cited above prioritize their running game. Do the Chiefs? The Texans had 38 rushing yards last week.

Uhhh, ok. If the Ravens were running a basic Wink defense, they wouldn’t have had nearly the same success this year. They’re a team that tailors their schemes to their opponents rather than relying upon classic scheme or talent to get it done. This isn’t the same Ravens from 2019-2021 or the Eagles from last SB.

Mahomes might very well be good enough to conquer this defense. That’s why he’s Mahomes.

Hope that makes some sense to you.

Figures that a miserable bundle of sticks such as yourself can’t take a joke.

Take your Reeruned self less seriously and lighten up.

Thats exactly how you should defend really. If you can get the other team to run the ball more...well that is a less effective way to score.

The lesson: Ravens are the housing market. Mahomes is the cataclysm coming. Watch the **** out on Sunyday.

Haha! Yea just switched out the wrong embed.

Hey, Ravens fans: just want to say… this guy is one of the most pathetically miserable Chiefs fans out there. He has taken great joy in fading the team this year and it’s very rich that he’s now battling all of you as if he’s the optimistic savior of CP. Don’t take him or his overuse of emojis seriously and sorry if you’ve wasted time jousting with him.

Hey Ravens fans, this guy will bet you his life savings that Caleb Williams will be the next Patrick Mahomes.
