Next Up: vs. Chiefs (AFC Championship)

[ndub]

problem for the chiefs is that we are not a 1 weapon offence
they can have sneed "erase" zay flowers and we've got other guys who can make plays to keep drives ticking

probably the first time we've faced the mahomes chiefs and had better weapons than them

Along with a season in which Lamar is better than Mahomes in a lot of ways.

We can't overlook the fact that we're going to run for 150+ on them, either - eat clock and keep kermit on the sideline

Nobody's scoring that much on us.

I agree

Ive always always preferred a offense like we have now rather than a team with a big time #1 wr then just a bunch ass guys.. makes life easier for the qb also

With Andrews back I wouldn't be shocked if we dialed it back to some Greg Roman ball Sunday. 2 TE's, power ram it down their throats, throw to the TE's off of that. Take their 1 favorable mismatch of Cb's on our Wr's away.

Yea but don’t we have a really good record with him officiating our games?

We have to be prepared for Reid to have some stuff drawn up like this. But who do you attack on this D? Maulet?

Do we? Because those stats in the article terrify me. Especially playing the Chiefs

I don't think it matters who the ref(s) is/are... the league would love nothing more than to have Taylor Swift involved in the Superbowl. It would increase ratings from fans who don't know a thing about the sport except Taylor.

they may well draw up some new stuff
but it wont be this 13 personnel stuff because that plays right into our hands with Roquan, Hamilton and Smith in the game...

I think I saw that somewhere.. we just gotta come out and do our thing and we’ll be fine. We're the better team and if we prove it once again, the refs can’t dictate the game

 

[Deebo813]

If we lose, it wont be cause refs.. we not letting these people beat us

that's been the benefit of beating good teams by 2 scores... ref ball cant come into play

 

[Davesta]

Well… fuck us then

Not just the nfl.. the world

And she could come out and sing with Usher at halftime

Decided to look up his stats from this year and previous seasons. Edited to add in the final scores to show that he has officiated both blowouts where we won, blowouts that KC has won and close games that KC has won. The only loss we've had with him as the ref was the OT loss to the Raiders which if he favors the road team, we should have won that, right? As long as we do what we did against Jacksonville, we will be fine.

Maybe those were road games?

I don't fear the refs. Ravens never played more disciplined football than this season.
