Let's get ready to rumble!

Bad news on the referees for this game

Well, Mahomes is one of the best to ever play the game, no doubt. While Pechanco, or however you say his name, is a hard running, quick cutting back, he is undersized and has turf toe. The Ravens are great against the run, except with the off tackle, outsoee runs that seem to get them every now & then. That bothers me a bit. Can the defense hold the edge? Their defense is just behind the Ravens in a number of categories, scoring especially. However, they are near the bottom of the league against the run, something the Ravens do well. I expect a low scoring game of sorts, because of having to limit the number of times Mahomes has the ball. So running the ball against the weak run defense, using all of the play clock are 2 ways to accomplish this. They do have team speed on defense, maybe the fastest defense the Ravens offense has faced all year. However, the Ravens are 7-3 against playoff teams, regular season. They held double digit leads in each of those games, including the 3 loses. This team is focused, primed, healthy, clearly the better team, on paper and on the field. Lamar has been a vocal leader this year, but more importantly, he has been one of the first in each day and the last to leave. A true leader. He really wants a Super Bowl win, as does Roquan, who has the defense focussed, and they both know it isn't easy to get to this point, contrary to what the Cheifs and Pats have done. I guess I went long winded to say, I expect a win, and would not be shocked to see a win by 10+ points

Yeah, nothing against Kolar, but he is not Andrews

Get some good action in to get his game legs for the Super Bowl!

They have been on the field at the same time last year, earlier this year! Oh you mean with the new Lamar

Full go, Andrews back, Humphrey back, a big boost to both sides of the ball. Severel players on special teams are back as well, so maybe that closes that loop hole. A big moral boost, not that they needed one, being at full strength. Let's do this!

Full list of both teams, good news on the Ravens front, nope, Gus was not mentioned https://twitter.com/jeffzrebiec/status/1750276553135587834/photo/1

Early injury report on the Chiefs from one of their reporters

Wouldn't shock me, after all, we know the league hates blow outs, especially in the Super Bowl, reason why they cut the power in the Dome when SanFran was getting run over by the Ravens

They do that against bad defenes & or defenes depleted of their top players. Their offensive tackles are their weak point, the Ravens defenes has shown that their front four can collapse the pocket, harass qbs even against some of the best lines in the game.. If the Ravens defense plays the way they can, this will be a 34-7 game...

The only team to stop, to defeat the Ravens this year has been the Ravens, untimely penalties, and turnovers, all unforced, all due to a lack of focus. After what we saw last Saturday, this team is focussed. I pity the fools who come to our house and try to stop us from having fun.

One of the plays in the last 6 mums, he took a run outside, got tackled out of bounds. Got up holding his wrist/hand, went to the trainer and sat out the rest of the game. How bad? What body part? Who knows right now

By now you've heard that the Cheifs outlasted the Bill's once again in the playoffs. That they have reached their 6th straight AFC championship game. Yes, that age old saying applies: if you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. Well, the reigning Super Bowl Champs have been the best, so...... This is not the Cheifs team of the past few years, at least not in the regular season. Their offense has had its struggles, but they still managed to be 9th in the league in total offense, 351 total yards, 246 by air, 104 on the ground. Mahomes, well, he is every bit as good as advertised. Incredibly accurate, 67% completion, 27 tds, 14 picks. He has been sacked 27 times. As runner, think of him as a mouse more than a cheetah. He scurried rather than flying. Hey, you can beat a mouse in the 40 yard dash, but lock your self in an empty room, see how easy it is to catch one... He moves well in and out of the pocket, always looking to make plays down field. While they don't have many great receivers, they do have a great tight end and a couple of receivers who know how to get open. They do tend to drop easy passes, but will make the hard ones. Their defense is among the best, but they can be run on, they do suffer lapses of coverage, they are humans, they "do bleed". Sure, they know how to win this game, it is time to teach them how to lose it. One game away from the Super Bowl, they want it, the Ravens have to take it.

They did a good job of taking Likely away for the most part, cept for 2 very big plays. One catch and run for 20+ yards. 1 for a back shoulder touchdown. When Andrews gets back next week, good luck covering them both

Cook got his carries once Gus got hurt, I thought he ran hard, faster than the fumble machine he replaced and he did not fumble. Very solid outing in mop up, kill the clock duty. Very good signing

In the Denver playoff game here, back in the 1st Super Bowl run, the Broncos offense never crossed midfield. The defense this time around, the Texans never got into the redzone. The defense only gave up 3 pts this time, the same as that game. No, this defense is not as good as that historic one, pretty close, but this might be the best offense the franchise has ever had, including the Vinnie, Jackson, Alexander days...

What a job all the way around, especially in the 2nd half. 3 Straight toucjdown drives, a defense that gave up 32 total yards in the 2nd half in real time, not counting the last 2 mins of the game. Great adjustments by both sides of the ball. And as we said earlier, Lamar was incredible, 73% completion, 175 yards passing, 100 rushing, 4 total touchdowns. Have to wait and see on the injury front to Queen and Darby. But wow.

I'm gonna log off for a bit and just enjoy the last 6 mins be back after
