Lol what a fucking stupid take.

The Chiefs offensive line is the second ranked pass protection offensive line in adjusted sack rate.

The Raven defense is most definitely not lethal. They can’t get after the QB unless they blitz. Mahomes will pick them apart.

Fair. Figured I’d be called out for that. Only reason I didn’t include them is bc Lamar was thrown into a 2018 offense built for flacco. They had a super limited playbook. Go figure though his stats are actually better taking 2018 into account too....

I guess you missed the stats about:

1) how often the Ravens blitz (a lot)
2) how often they actually get home (not a lot)
3) how good the Chiefs OL is at pass protection

That have been posted a few times in this thread.

Fact of the matter is the Chiefs offense has a matchup advantage against the Ravens. The Ravens offense has a matchup advantage against the Chiefs.

Whichever defense adapts better will likely be the one of the winning team.

We saw Spagnuolo design a defensive gameplan that gave Jackson and the Ravens a lot of trouble last year, without Mike Pennel and Willie Gay and Lajarius Sneed and with a less-than-100-percent Frank Clark.

We saw Martendale design a gameplan two years ago that gave Mahomes problems. Their personnel has changed a lot since then. He’s a good DC so it wouldn’t surprise me to see him find some wrinkles that throw Mahomes off early.

:-) Could be, but their defense is lethal? :-) Since when has this team been OUR Achilles? I think its the other way around actually.

And Mahomes' stats over the same period, including playoffs?

During the season, there are a few key threads each week that I look forward to reading:

“Let’s talk about the...”

Game day thread

Other Games thread

Win Rep thread

George’s 10 things thread

But one that’s missing this year is the “What [opponent]’s fans are saying” thread. I always enjoy getting insight into their line of thinking and learning more about their players & schemes, and how they view our guys.

I’m busy with work and don’t know where to look, but does someone want to own that weekly thread so we can all enjoy?
[Reply]

I like that thread a lot too

You could triple my salary and I wouldn't move to the third world country that is Baltimore. Worst city in the United States

I lived in DC and bmore deserves a lot of its bad rap but it also has a ton of culture and a lot of awesome spots. Iowa on the other hand is devoid of culture.. feels like I’m living inside a gallon of milk.

Is this how I gain friends on a Kansas City message board? Just trash Iowa?
[Reply]

Silly me here I thought Baltimore's culture was murderers, rapists and extreme poverty.

let's all be nice.

Pretty damn good but not much different than LJs. Again I’m really not trying to compare the two... just debunking this theory that Lamar is bad playing from behind. To be honest the sample size of him playing from behind is tiny bc we blow just about everyone (besides the chiefs) out so it’s tough to make any kind of assessment.

Nope you missed crab cakes and football. It’s murderers, crab cakes, football and then rapists and extreme poverty.

What’s Iowa? Corn.... and then like field of dreams? Maybe sprinkle in some Culver’s.

There are a ton of awesome craft breweries in Iowa right now. I mean, every state claims to have a kickass set of microbrews, but seriously... hard to top a bunch of the ones popping up in eastern and central Iowa

Not people like you - so it's like the fucking promise land.
