I didn't see it until tonight and I was looking up who we had lol. I'm more surprised this is a 10am start time in KC and not a 1PM start time in KC.

The Chiefs will be without their starting LT Eric Fisher and starting Cam Erving at LT in his absence. Wink needs to dial up blitzes early to see how Erving handles it as I believe most of his time in the NFL has been at Guard or Center, not Tackle. The best we can hope for is a ground and pound attack where we keep Mahomes benched as much as possible and tire out their defense. By the end of the game, if we can keep it where Lamar can just get us down field and let Tucker do his thing for the game winning FG, we can win this. If Mahomes wrecks our secondary, we are in trouble.

I try not to think about losing our coordinators. I could easily see both of them going. I’ll just try to enjoy them while they are here.

Listening to the Lefkoe podcast, Warren Sharp brought up the Ravens defense has struggled very much against 3 wide receiver sets which is what the Chiefs are doing very well this year. He also pointed out the past couple years the Ravens defense without Jimmy Smith goes from almost 1st in every passing category to 30th in the league. I think the only way the Ravens win this game is the time of possession and force a turnover somehow. I think people are still sleeping on the Ravens, I just hope that Wink adjusts from the defense's poor performance against 3 wide sets against the Dolphins and Cardinals.
To add though the Chiefs have seen a drop in redzone percentage quite a bit from last year and are less successful there. The Ravens held the Cardinals to several field goals. If the Ravens can hold them to field goals I think they have a shot.
Lets go Ravens 30-23

The world is expecting us to pound the ball ... and what do our opponents do when they expect that? They stack the box.
What we’ve seen this season is we take what the defense gives us. And that’s exactly how we should play it. Lamar has been feasting on defenses that have been daring him to throw.
As much as people (me included) would love to see us grind them up on the ground, we may see more of the same. Us striking our opponent wherever they leave themselves open. That’s what a balanced attack can do.

Yes, and we finally have coordinators who can make adjustments on the fly. It’s a beautiful thing.

But in years past, we’ve had the likes of Eric weddle and Kendrick Lewis at safety, and before Humphrey and Carr we had no quality cb2 either. Weddle was good at what he did but he lacked the range to make up for the loss of a corner, earl Thomas should be different, and last week I believe was just our secondary working out some kinks. Humphrey and Carr is a solid 1-2 punch at cb and we still have earl Thomas and Tony Jefferson is still a quality rover, we just can’t leave him to execute deep zone pickups anymore, he always struggles with it

ive just looked at the chiefs roster - they've literally only got 4 cornerbacks on the roster - how is that tenable in the modern nfl?

If what honey badger means by “keep Lamar in the pocket” means, when he is back to pass, that they can’t let him get to the edge and pick up an easy 15 then that makes sense.
If it means that every play they are going to stack the box and dare him to throw - then throw he will and they may not like the results.
