Next Up: vs. Chiefs (AFC Championship)

[Ellicottraven]

I feel like putting kyle on kelce will prevent hamilton from making plays.i mean he can make plays on travis if targeted but if we can find another way to hold kelce, that would be nice or just putting hamilton on kelce on those critical downs

Just let a deep safety keep Kelce in front of him at all times and have Marlo cover Kelce from the slot.

Spags is a great DC with multiple SB wins. He now has the personal. He will make Lamar beat him with his arm

I assure you that as a Qb who has spent his entire career facing TJ watt/Garrett/Tomlin/Anarumo, Lamar has absolutely zero fear of that NFC East reject. Jim Shwartz got roasted for 29.5/game and he's the same style of beast.

Ravens D OTOH, was built in a lab to stop Mahomes. McDonald uses deception concepts like Anarumo that Patty hates and they drafted a chess piece specifically to cover Kelce.

The Chiefs boast a very good top 5ish defense (7th in DVOA but I'll be nice). The Ravens D is on a historic pace and is going to buzzsaw everything in its path.

Once Lamar outplays Mahomes there will be no more doubters

unfortunately there will always be excuses

The Ravens were specifically designed to beat the Chiefs.

Idk man, beating Mahomes in the AFC championship is top tier. Even if Lamar goes down in the SB, he has to be looked at differently.

My god I’ve never seen a 1 seed so disrespected

Lamar is not losing this year. Let's not even consider it as a remote possibility people.

My guess would be some wide zone stuff out of 11 personnel… not sure they have the right style of RBs to kill us with it though

Rams gameplan isn’t really replicable

Not sure what holes there are to attack right now

I could see that. That was a visible weakness early in the year

Probably a somewhat minor point but we haven't traveled at all recently.

At home against Miami
At home against Pitt
At home bye
At home against Houston
At home against KC

Agree with most except the part about spags. He's a damn good DC who gets the most from his units.

Spags defense held them 14.

Not having to travel and and the bye can only help with healing and health. Seems everything has lined up nicely.

Travelled a bunch earlier in the season so it’s evening out a bit I guess

it evened out during the season and now we are home throughout the playoffs.

The last time there was an AFC Championship game in Baltimore was the 1970-71 season, when Unitas was the QB. Jonny Unitas when to Louisville.
