Pacheco didn't miss a beat with him in there that's for sure.:-)

Pass rush & rushing defense both need to be stronger against Baltimore. I'm not sure you can count on the KC offense to light up Baltimore's defense, which is healthier and better than Buffalo's defense.

I'm struggling to gin up the hatred for these guys that I could for Buffalo or even Miami.

And there are only so many ways to call Lamar Jackson stupid.

This week is gonna be boring.

As long as we have Bolton and Tranquill and the D-line healthy I think we can stop Baltimore's running game. Gay would help but Chenal isn't much of a drop off.

Because we will play them differently than we played Buffalo. There will be a lot less 2-high looks. We will need a healthy Edwards to stick his nose in, though. Conner can't do that. Maybe you get Reid to do that this game if Edwards can't go.

For me this game all comes down to blocking Baltimore's front seven.

We do that, and we win.

They might be too confident after beating the shit out of a very young team with zero playoff experience and now they are gonna have to face the defending Champs.

48 degrees and rain forecasted for next Sunday in Baltimore.

I think shitty weather helps us. Mahomes can throw in anything. Jackson not so much.
[Reply]

Precisely.

I think Jackson is pretty good but not good enough to win when the box is stacked AND McDuffie and Snead are blanketing their receivers AND it's raining

In some ways, our strengths match up very well with Baltimores strengths.

Our CBs against their WRs
Our DL against their OL
Our LBers against their running attack
Kelce + Gray against their safeties and backers
The speed and athleticism of our LBers against Lamar’s ability to scramble

My concern is the matchups with our WRs against their corners. Gonna be interesting to see if they get Humphrey back.

I thought it was actually crazy how well Mahomes was throwing the ball in the wild card frozen dolphin game.

I think Baltimore has had some rough games in the rain this year. Maybe even lost a home game in that situation.
[Reply]

Can Lamar win the big game? That is the narrative. Great kid but he needs to start winning important playoff games
[Reply]

As soon as I saw that I felt deep in my plums greatness was coming tonight.

He missed two throws.

Pity he didn't hit those for TDs or you're looking at 19/23 for 245ish yards and 4 TDs :-)

Mahomes is locked in. Nothing is phasing him.

They played the Rams at home in the rain and beat them, but it was actually a shootout and probably one of their worst defensive games of the season.
