Oh, I will… yes, in hurricane force winds our defense finally had a great defensive performance when it mattered. Yup.. and the Bengals won that game because of Lou Anarumo.

We had prime Poyer and Hyde for a bit and still had letdown playoff performances from this Defense. Josh Allen had to go off to save us from a Wild Card loss to 80 year old Phillip Rivers. 13 seconds the following year.

Youre just stating opinions as fact and nobody views Kyle Hamilton in the same way they do Myles Garrett, Chris Jones, Nick Bosa, TJ Watt etc.. Weve been let down by our defense over and over again because our DL gets WORKED when it matters and our back seven plays off far too much. You could give us Kyle Hamilton.. it wouldn’t change much for this Defense and their historical (and now recent) issues.

Nobody views any of those players as “game wreckers” in the sense of anyone using that term. They're big time players, but if someone wants to play that game they’ll point Taron Johnson, Christian Benford, Terrell Bernard, Ed Oliver and Greg Rousseau for us… which we know hasn’t been good enough when it’s mattered.

Its scheme and coaching. Baltimore’s Defense doesn’t have a game wrecker. But they’ve been elite since middle of the season.

KC about to have a path that rivals two years ago when they got: BYE Jags Beat up Bengals

Chiefs won a playoff game without Mahomes for much of the game. Ravens treaded water, made the playoffs and were a fluke 99 yard return for a TD away from winning a playoff game with Snoop Huntley. Hurts off the Eagles?… Elite OL, Saquan, Brown, Smith and Goedert. That Eagles? Most us aren’t arguing Josh doesn’t have help.. He has an elite OL, 3 good RB’s, 2 good TE’s and a solid group of WR’s. It’s a Championship level Offense with Josh that can absolutely steamroll people if they’re on. It’s not what the Eagles have though. Most unbiased people would take what the Ravens have in Henry, Andrews, Likely and the highest separation rate in league for WR’s. Issue is, nevermind our Defense letting us down every year… this year, KC has a top tier defense and Baltimore’s defense has been elite since Week 8. Meanwhile our Defense is regressing to its playoff selves. Like it does… year after year. It’s exhausting and it’s a fair criticism on what Josh has to deal with.

Definitely willing to let it play out as I think Keon has WR1 upside, but I’d be lying if I didn’t admit I’ve started getting a bit frustrated seeing how well he’s doing on KC.

Allen, Brady and the Offense absolutely can. It is as it’s always been… can McDermott, his DC and the Defense hold up their end of the bargain.

It is funny that in a game where his Defense literally held the opponent to ZERO POINTS late into the game so far, we have to get inundated with Lamar “MVP Moment” takes.

It’s honestly comical how wide open Lamar’s receiving targets are game in / game out. Some of it is due to buying time, but a lot of it is drop back, intermediate throw … wide open.

Watching the Chiefs dominate on Defense all year. Watching the Ravens bludgeon teams with Henry and also have an elite Defense after a rocky start. And here we are, with a Defensive Head Coach, and a team reliant on Josh Allen going nuclear to be where we are and will be needing him to be to go into battle against Lamar and hopefully Pat, with a worse Defense. Hes so obviously the MVP. And he’s going to need to be that plus some moving forward if we have any ideas of getting to the Super Bowl.

Pretty sure the Ravens Defense has been an elite Defense since week 8… think I saw that this past week. Both the Chiefs and Ravens looking like they’re rounding into very well balanced squads heading into the postseason.

With the way this game is going, it’s looking like the Chiefs get a bye and then either a Chargers team that can’t beat them or one of two frauds who have completely fallen off down the stretch. Also miss facing the Bills and Ravens, only will see one of them, at home. Perhaps the biggest 1 seed advantage in recent memory.

Chiefs likely have a cakewalk to the AFC CG if Baltimore wins this game. Its ok to want an easier path.

He’s not the MVP .. and it’s honestly annoying to me that some want to pretend he is. But for those that want an MVP debate, Lamar is giving them ammo today.

Texans doing their best to give Lamar a late season MVP surge

Didn’t realize Houston was only a game back of Baltimore. Couldn’t they conceivably get the 3 if they win today and Steelers lose next week / Baltimore wins next week? With CIN playing PIT, not unlikely the way PIT is fading.

I wouldn’t say it’s the bigger game, because the 1 seed is such a massive advantage and KC could potentially cakewalk to the AFC CG now, but given the realistic option.. yea, a Texans win would be massive to even the playing field.

KC’s Defense is just consistent. They show up week in / week out.

Great point made by Burleson about Pickens giving up on the route there

Steelers are frauds but if refs don’t call penalties on their OL (which they don’t in the playoffs), they now have so many healthy weapons in Kelce, Gray, Pacheco, Hunt, Worthy, Brown, Hopkins etc., to go with a top tier Defense. We all knew they’d round into shape around this time.. and it certainly seems to be happening.

Russel Wilson thinks he’s SMU’s QB today

The way Derrick Henry is playing proves Lamar Jackson should be MVP
