I’m going into this game expecting a loss. I don’t know if this defense can do enough to stop the Rams.

We can/should throw numbers at Todd Gurley and we can at least slow him down and force some manageable 3rd down situations where O'Daniel can come to bear. But the Rams can't do that to us, IMO. They don't have the interior LBs to hang with Kelce without putting Joyner on him. Joyner is damn good and can do a lot to neutralize Kelce but Kelce lines up wide so often that Joyner isolated on Kelce opens up significant RPO options for Hunt. Moreover, if Joyner is dedicated to Kelce, their CBs will get absolutely destroyed by Watkins and Hill. They have to collapse our interior or they will lose damn near every defensive snap. Any play that the Rams can't push the pocket into Mahomes lap should yield something near first down yardage (and Andy is so damn smart that he can do some misdirection with the short passing game to slow them down and keep Hunt in the fight as well, IMO). I think we have an easier path to slowing them on offense. I'm going full 'Because Chiefs' here and saying we'll lose - I'm just conditioned to do it. But man their defense matches up like ass against our offense. And our defense is not the shit sandwich that people believe it is. There is a fair amount of talent here and the guys we don't consider 'talent' like Nelson and Scandrick are playing their asses off. I actually like our talent more than theirs in this matchup. Matchups make fights and our matchup is better here, IMO.
