Ravens/Chiefs

[vmax]

I'm in Portland Oregon visiting my daughter so I'm not posting as much as I'd like (did I hear somebody go "YEA!!!} ???? BTW...Portland is off the charts clean, beautiful and cool. If you want to vacation somewhere for a week then you can't lose here.

 

Now...on to business:

Ravens win probability is 59.6%. 

Team Stats
Points Per Game	28.5	35.5
Points Allowed Per Game	20.0	11.0
Total Yards	402.0	414.5
Yards Passing	256.5	244.0
Yards Rushing	145.5	170.5
Yards Allowed	432.5	326.5
Pass Yards Allowed	282.0	232.0
Rush Yards Allowed	150.5	94.5

 

You can probably throw all that out because of Mahomes. Nothing is predictable with this guy except that he consistently finds ways to win and has not lost  game vs the Ravens. Andy Reed is no slouch for a HC either.

The Ravens are going against the best....in their black uni's.

On the Ravens side they are fielding the most complete team in the NFL as far as all 3 units are excellent; Offense, defense and Special Teams. So they have a shot. A good shot IMO to finally get a win against the defending Super Bowl Champs.

It's going to take points.... a lot of points from the offense. The offense must score 7's in the redzone. I love Tucker, but he was needed too much last week. Mahomes will trade 3's for 7's all day and bury the Ravens.

No turnovers! No costly penalties. Play Championship Football. All 3 units working in tandum.

Get the running game going. Keep Mahomes off the field. Keep the defense guessing and bury them with play action.

I am so excited about this game!   I'll be landing in Baltimore at 6:25 and then the mad dash home to don my purple jersey and plant my ass in my sacred seat in front of the TV.

Glad you'll be home in time to catch this from your real psl seat.

Nail biter. Not sure of anything in this game except it has the potential to become unforgettable. Reminds me of how I felt with the NE matchups several years ago.

Stomach has butterflies!

[tsylvester]

I won't be watching it live, sleep is more important to me now than commercials, terrible commentators, and yes, football, but will record it and watch....

Maybe 3rd time is the charm? It is charm city afterall.... Enjoy the Left Coast, we are the right coast to be on...... Safe travels Max

[vmax]

Thanks everybody.

 

One thing is for sure: Monday Night we will find out how deep and strong this Ravens team is.

Mahomes and Andy Reed will see to that.

Oldno87,,,,on the nail biter......If it comes down to the Ravens having the ball with around a minute left and they need a TD or FG to win........Can Lamar do that? My nails...nerves... will be gone. 

[papasmurfbell]

This is the real test.  But I don't look at Lamar as much as barbs.  Will he make sure his players are in a position to succeed?  In high leverage moments he tends to fail.  Now is the time to show he has gotten past that.

I think he has what it takes but anything can happen...remember Lee Evans?

For some reason, though, I'm feeling a bit more confident as the week goes on.

The Chiefs are a great team. The Ravens could play great and still lose. It should be a hard fought tight game.

Do you want to give me your cell number so if anything less than exactly what you would like to happen occurs I can call you to let you know?

Great post from an ass like yourself. If something bad happens you blame it on the coach. If something good happens credit the players. You're still consistently the stupidest person I've ever seen on any message board. 

[papasmurfbell]

If it is the coaches fault yes.  If they are going and say Ingram has a fumble at their 22 with a min 5 left and the ravens ate up by 5.  The chiefs have the ball and take a 57 secs to score a rd and take the lead then that would be on Ingram.  

But if they abandon the run when down by 10 pts midway through the 2nd quarter then that would be the exact same I have no damned idea what's going on move that harbs has shown he is capable of countless times.  So you can go get bent and take it up your ass like the weepy little bitch you are.

[Spen]

Oh come on. You know you could find a way to blame Harbaugh in your first scenario.

Haha, not a chance, it's just a game, my dreams are more enjoyable and healthier...

Yrs ago harbs went for it on 4th down.  It was not successful.  The radio callers were killing him.  I actually agreed with the call.  So again you are a useless bag of shit. 

[vmax]

Good Grief papa.  People and Teams can and do grow and evolve to higher heights with experience. 

This is an extremely exciting season for the Ravens. There's an abundance of good to talk about. Let's not be like this lot....

Belecheat, Reed and Harbaugh are the 3 best HC's in the NFL.

Reed was a HC for a long time with some good teams yet he couldn't win a Super Bowl until he had Mahomes.

Belecheat is great. Now we'll see what he can do without Brady.

Harbaugh has a SB win with Flacco and a ton of playoff victories. He's a great HC. I don't want anybody else as the Ravens HC. He's done so much with less. Now, with a loaded roster let's see how far this goes and how much he racks up.

You are so wrong papa on" will he put his players in a position to succeed," He's always had them in that position. They have to execute. He approved and was in on designing an offense for Lamar's talent. It was revolutionary. It was a huge risk most HC's would never take.  Look at how well Lamar has done and how well this offense has evolved since Lamar's 1st game. He's embraced analytics to the point where the Ravens are the #1 best team at analytics. Won/loss record....just a great all around HC.

Now can we get back to an incredible game and matchup that will happen Monday night?

I know I'd like to!

Going out on the limb: Ravens 24 Chiefs 20.

[papasmurfbell]

That is the damned point.  Harbs has not grown.  He has remained the exact same poor game mang guy he was when he started.  He doesn't have the pulse of his team.   

This is very similar to Joe. I liked him when he was drafted.  He was doing so much well from the start.   But after about 3 yrs I noticed he was the same.  There was no expanded understanding of the game.  At that point I switched to it is time to go.  With harbs around the same time I noticed the same kind of issues.  Now I only see him as an anchor.  Until such time as he can fix those oblivious issues he is the weak link.

[vmax]

Yea...14-2...those 2 losses are positive proof he does not have the pulse of his team. And don't bring up the Titan game because the players admit they came out flat and couldn't match the intensity.

You'll never "see" because hating and fault finding are more important to you. Overall, you have done better lately. I've seen some change....see some good things,  I get it. Fans have a right to bitch and moan and beat dead horses even when everything's going great. It's like I hit the Pacific Coast the other day....HWY 101.... Sun Shinning, incredible surf and rock formations to my left and mountains and trees to my right. And there, standing in the middle of this pristine beauty, was a small bunch of locals....Trump supporters waving their flags.....and I thought "Wow...only humans are capable of evolving into something like this in such a clean and beautiful environment."

BTW: I just ordered a Make America Great Again. Dump Trump shirt. Damn straight I'll wear it.

 

Back to business. I think KC is about to meet one pissed off team The Ravens will put up 31-35 points. It's on the defense.

Ravens win!

 

 

 

[papasmurfbell]

And who put them in a position not to be ready by sitting dudes in week 17? Who is the leader when the oc decodes to say screw the run game? The same mistakes over and over.

[Spen]

The same posts over and over. If someone got hurt last year in game 17 everyone knows you'd be blaming Harbs for that.  

 

Stupidest person I've ever seen on a message board....

 

But let's focus on the game.

[papasmurfbell]

Not if they had run them for a quarter or so.  It would have been the safe play.  But he keeps the starters in with 10 mins and up by 30+ now.  So which is it? Protect the franchise or keep them sharp?

[vmax]

Reed is calling one hellova game.

Kelsey owns the Ravens defense. The tripping call on Boyle was total bullshit and a game changer.

Offense keeps stalling. Thank you Duverney! 

20 -10?????? Not looking too good right now.

 

 

 

[vmax]

Lamar's a little off on his accuracy and the Chiefs are covering well.

[vmax]

Bad trend here:

Last week the only put up 14 points.

This week 0 with 2 minutes left in the half.

[vmax]

Holy Shit!

27-10....Ravens getting wasted.

[vmax]

FG no good!

Still 27-10. Game over at halftime! 

So much not in sync for the Ravens I don't know where to start.

Basically the Chiefs are executing fast and machine like and the Ravens are 1 step behind.
