We also played a team with a pretty good quarterback.

I think our D can hang with the Ravens. Just worried about them running all over us with Lamar and Edwards. Obviously Harbaugh saw last night's game and will try and copy what Buffalo did.
Bolton and Andy were basically saying we were getting out shit pushed in due to poor technique. Too much wrestling and not separating, and too much hitting high instead of "killing the engine".
Let's hope that's all it is, because if we take the run out of the equation, Lamar has not shown that he's a guy to bring you back when everyone in the world knows it's a pass coming. [Reply]

It worked unbelievably well for the Fade. 5-2-4, spy Mahomes, double Kelce. The only saving grace is MVS looked competent last night. Raiders basically let him run free because they weren’t worried about him at all. But last night he made some incredibly tough catches. If we can get that MVS for the next 2 games, we should win another ring!
Nobody on Offense showed up ready to play in that Christmas game. Maybe they spent too much time partying with family instead of preparing for the game. The OL was bad, which trickled down to everything else. Andy’s playcalling was questionable too. He needs to stop the damn trick plays. Once again last night they had a serious mistake on a trick play. Thankfully Hardman’s lost fumble did not kill their chances of winning the game. [Reply]

Donovan Smith is obviously a huge stud. Look how good the line looks when he plays [Reply]

It's all pre determined. Next year the AFCC will be the later game. Team locations do not matter. This was decided long ago. [Reply]

I was just saying this past week how it seemed like the Chiefs had gotten pretty good at containing the running QBs, but damn they struggled keeping Alllen in front of them for 3 quarters... they looked like the Texans being driven up field 10 yards and giving Allen a huge gaping hole in the middle of the field.
Figure out that shit and I don't care if the Ravens run for 150 yards... just don't give up huge chunks of scrambling yards on obvious passing downs to keep drives alive. [Reply]
Spags has his work cut out for him, that's for sure. Funny thing is they have no one in their receiving corps that absolutely scares you. Miami had Hill and Waddle and Buffalo had Diggs. Baltimore has Flowers and Likely, who are good but not great weapons. If Andrews comes back that could be a huge problem. [Reply]

Andrews is supposed to be back this week. Their O will be our biggest test yet, which means our O will probably have to play their best game of the season to win. I’m pumped! [Reply]
