Lamar Jackson, the running back, isn't going to beat us with his arm or his brain. Just commit to stopping the run and let him try(lol) to outduel Pat. [Reply]

Got it ... 19 times. That's how many damn times we've had the general punditry spout off and say that the next QB/RB/Team/Coach is going to put Mahomes and the Chiefs in their place.
You think we're growing weary of that narrative? How do you think Wally feels? He's going to parboil the Ravens and pluck their feathers one-by-one until they call their mommas. He's going to go full House of Usher on their heads in this game.
Just glanced at the Ravens depth chart. Looks like Pernell McPhee is their best pass rusher and he’s really nothing special. Where is their pass rush going to come from?
No way can they rely on coverage sacks against the Chiefs, right? [Reply]

It appears that they rely on the blitz in order to generate pressure, Mr. smithandrew051.
Too bad our quarterback is so terrible against the blitz.
Chiefs by three, I'd set the over/under at 60. The Ravens D is good but not great, not much better than Chiefs. Lamar is legit good and will only get better but he's not Mahomes. [Reply]

This is going to be a very tough matchup. I won’t be shocked if we lose this one, if the weather is shitty.
The bad news:
Harbaugh and Wink call a good defensive game.
Erving is a crap run blocker.
We couldn’t run much against Oakland.
Our top 2 backs are banged up (but I do think Darwin is going to be the best of them, anyway.)
They have the best run defense in football.
Bad weather can limit the passing game.
Tyreek bailed us out numerous times in the last matchup.
Their offense is ultra explosive and we’re still early in the year struggling with communication problems.
They have this game circled after losing the last one in overtime.
The good
Jimmy Smith is out
We have a few good defenders at keeping guys like LJ limited in their options...Badger, Lee, Clark, Fuller and Breeland.
We should be able to scheme lots of open looks against them in coverage
They don’t have a guy to cover Kelce
Earl ran his mouth...so I’m sure Sammy, Kelce, Hardman and Robinson will be ready to challenge that statement about taking away the deep ball.
Thompson looked ready to challenge for the starting job before the team acquired Shady..he knows this is his time to shine. Should be able to have a big receiving game.
They haven’t played anyone good yet and this Chiefs team is truly unreal. [Reply]
