Chiefs Game

[varaven45]

The most important key to competing at all in this game

is successfully pounding the rock and gashing the Chefs D. If we do, we can be competitive. If not, its a long, long day.

I see this as a loss. I'm hearing Humphry hasn't practiced. They have to have him to stand any chance.

 

Any turnovers by the Ravens will doom them and Lamar turns it over.

Max, You sound like Debbie downer but I have to agree with you 100% and especially your rationale. We are dead meat without Humphrey in the secondary in Lamars likely to be really exposed for the first time. But hey what do I know Im just a fan.

Its a good test and learning experience either way. It can show what he needs to work on with his passing game.

[varaven45]

Papa, you going a little silver lining in the clouds on us ? .

[papasmurfbell]

I have alwasy been even handed. I still don't think Lamar will pan out but he has to be given the chance to sink or swim.

[oldcrow]

the W is in the bag for you guys

[papasmurfbell]

Eric Berry is out so that is a giant help.

[papasmurfbell]

They can't cover the TE.

[papasmurfbell]

Way to get bulldozed Weddle.

They are playing pretty well so far against a very good opponent.

 

They made the Chiefs take Hill's foot off.

[varaven45]

Nice pick by Chuck Clark!

[papasmurfbell]

They are playing hard. Would this be even if Joe was starting?

[papasmurfbell]

Jones was a good pick up.

[papasmurfbell]

That was a great game. Lamar made some great throws. He also made some mistakes. I wonder what his injury was.

Very exciting game and the Ravens surprised me because they traded blows and went toe to toe with the best offense in the NFL. They were in it with a chance to win the whole day. I thought for sure they were going to win when the Chiefs settled for a FG in OT.

Lamar showed that he is improving and evolving with a 100.00 QB rating and 2 TD's passing. They simply could not score enough points. The D did what we've seen them do on the Chiefs final drive in regulation by giving in on 2 4th and long plays....and they played so excellent all game.

The holding penalty in OT doomed them. In the end too many penalties and some poor tackling kept Chiefs drives alive.

 

They may not make the playoffs. They had a good chance to cement it with a win. Stealers are barely hanging on at the moment vs the Raiders.

 

Sounds like Lamar is OK.

Great game! Super effort by our guys. I didn't expect this to be a win or even close and we almost pulled it out. Lamar and the running game were spot on. Good game plan. Good defense. We are about 2 playmakers short of being a contender.

 

Losing is lousy but it could have easily gone the other way.

 

Hope Lamar is good to go next week.

[varaven45]

Well, we pounded the rock and competed today against arguably AFCs best. Very proud of our guys. Not a fan

Of moral victories but we played KC as well as anyone and in their house. Got to prep for Tampa at home. Another tough game - they all are from here on out !

Stealers lost. Another missed opportunity.

 

 

After losing to the Raiders, the Steelers' chances to win the AFC North and reach the playoffs have dropped to 66% and 71%, respectively, according to our live FPI projections......Steelers are falling out of playoff security thanks to a defense that can't get crucial stops, a stagnate kicking game and injuries piling up. Not only is James Conner uncertain for the Patriots game, but Ben Roethlisberger's rib injury will loom large. The Steelers muse assess whether kicker Chris Boswell can get the job done for the rest of the season.

In addition to the wild-card race, Baltimore still has a chance to win the AFC North for the first time since its 2012 Super Bowl season. Pittsburgh is only a half-game ahead of the Ravens after losing at Oakland on Sunday and plays the Patriots and New Orleans Saints the next two weeks.

"We ain't got time to die," cornerback Jimmy Smith said. "We got three more games we have to win. Just proved we could obviously hang with any offense, any team. That's a lot of firepower over there."....http://www.espn.com/blog/baltimore-ravens/post/_/id/47740/ravens-gain-confidence-to-win-whole-thing-despite-loss-to-chiefs

Yep, time to get off the mat, stop talking and get er done. Every one of the next 3 games is a playoff game.

The defense played way better than I expected against Mahomes. Lamar played better than I expected and had some nice throws but I was surprised to see 0 improvement in the 2 minute drill from the previous week.
