It doesn't matter. They are fake news. Their QB is still a RB who pretends to throw. No such pretender to Mahomes' throne will ever usurp his power.

We will come into Baltimore, eat hearty, and leave with our bellies full of blackbird pie.

We have several things to clean up and we get Pennel back.

I think we’re used to obsessing about the flaws on our team, because we still aren’t used to having the greatest talent in the history of football playing QB for us.

Other teams have flaws, significant ones too. No other team has Mahomes to almost always mask those flaws though.

Teams have played really well against us on our bad days, yet no one has beaten Mahomes by more than 8. That means EVEN AT OUR WORST, we’re still just one break away from winning when Mahomes is our QB.

Baltimore absolutely has flaws. Their safeties are a couple of Jordan Lucas-type special teamers. They don’t get a ton of pressure typically. There’s no real game-wrecker in their front 7. Their QB has still not proven himself as a passer against a great defense or against a great team.

We have flaws too of course, but we also have Mahomes. We can play poorly and be in any game at the end. No other team in the league today (maybe ever really) can say that.

Patrick went full Mahomes bro

I think the Ravens game will be easier. Chargers have legitimately the best D in the league, even without James. Ravens D on the other hand is average. Their DL is weaker than ours and as already mentioned they are also weaker at the Safety position.
We should score at will against them.

They are healthy, we are not.

Will be out our top 2 corners again plus others from today.

Not saying we can’t win, but I’m predicting a loss at this point.


That said, IF we win next weeks game against Baltimore, we might go undefeated. (Assuming we can get fully healthy and get everyone back)

They lost a starting CB for the season today?
[Reply]

Hadn’t heard that. I stand corrected.

So both teams secondary will be flailing. May be a high scoring game. Unless Balt. decides to run it all game long. Will be rough either way. Good thing we’re getting Pennell back, that will help.

They’re in a bad position at safety. Earl Thomas was supposed to be their best safety and he’s gone. That’s the same as losing him for the year to an injury.
[Reply]

Tavon Young was starting over Marlon Humphries or Marcus Peters? He is their 4th CB behind those 2 and Jimmy Smith.
[Reply]

He was their slot corner.
[Reply]

We have a lot of injuries, but no one overly impactful. Might cause some issues for the season as a whole, but we can get by for another week.

If Watkins is back, we have our whole group of offensive weapons. Our offense will decide this game. Come out strong and play with a lead. Do that, and we’ll be fine.
[Reply]

Baltimore can’t get pressure with just 4 like the Chargers did, not consistently.

Should be more points scored on both sides.
[Reply]

The problem I am having right now, even though supposedly Pennel will be back, it still does not address the LB issue.

Unless Spags realize that Ben Niemann is not the answer, I most certainly would not want Niemann spying against Lamar Jackson. That won't end well.

I also am hopeful that Clark is fine. I know it said illness, I just hope it isn't that same illness that made him lost weight during the beginning of the 2019 season (on top of that neck injury, if I recall).

DOD is the spy LB. He will see more time against the Ravens.
