You apparently don't pay close attention to injury reports. Questionable, by definition, means "the player is not certain to play." Guys practice and then end up sitting all the time.
Lol no that doesn’t happen all of the time. If you practice you usually play. I’m not going to say it never happens but it’s very rare. Usually a set back of some sort would have to occur.
I was unaware of Andy’s comments, but for whatever reason Fisher tried to play after injuring himself on a Friday practice but couldn’t even get through the first series. He wasn’t even supposed to play based on reports, so this was a unique situation to say the least.
All indications are McCoy will likely play. [Reply]
By the way, if a guy is hurt, they’re automatically questionable now. There’s no probable. Since McCoy practiced, he’s probable. It’s really simple. [Reply]

They've played from ahead all season and haven't had to deal with a hostile crowd at all, so who knows how they'll react as a team. Whereas we already know we can play from behind, if that should be an issue. Just keep scoring.
Ravens have played the 31 and 32 defense. They are frauds, and they’re about to find out on sunday. Coming into the game with a banged up secondary isn’t ideal against Mahomes... especially during the home opener.
Lamar Jackson
Freddy Jackson
Freddy Kruger... it doesn’t matter. Chiefs by double digits. Fraud-amore going home with a L. [Reply]
They are still running Lamar Jackson too much. The league protects QBs who stay in the pocket, which prolongs their careers.
QBs that use designed runs as part of their game do not last. They never have and never will. The league can’t protect QBs once they become ball carriers.
Jackson may have a good couple of years, but if he continues to run 10+ times a game it won’t last. Even Cam Newton, who’s built like a DE, can’t take that kind of punishment. [Reply]
Ravens:
Very physical, which we have a hard time dealing with.
Scrambling QBs generally kills us
I think the Ravens are healthier than us
Better defensive coaching
Chiefs:
We have Mahomes
We have tons of speed
Better offensive coaching
We have Mahomes [Reply]

Scrambling QBs generally killed Sutton’s defense. We’ll see how Spags has the team prepared for it. [Reply]
There have been running QBs before, even some that had decent careers (Steve Young), but running QBs that run as much as Lamar tend to eventually take big hits, and between last year and this year, Lamar has already taken some big hits. If they can't figure out a way to drastically reduce his carries, he's going to get hurt sooner rather than later.
One of the hits from the Cards game looked like he got pole-axed; just can't do that over and over without getting hurt. [Reply]
