Ravens at Chiefs - who do you want to have their third loss?

[boyst]

What's the line on this currently?

The story of this game is the movable object (Ravens defense) versus the resistable force (Chiefs offense)

[Uncle Stucky]

Does it matter who wins? Both the Chiefs and Ravens are better than the Bills despite their records.

Baltimore has a worse defense than us. KC has a worse offense than us.

I'm thinking the Chiefs offense is going to be just fine when Rice comes back.

Man, winning that 1st game was such a big deal.  It seems like the Ravens have spiraled since then (and on paper, I think they're the better team).  

 

Feels like that could have been us, and instead we're sitting at 4-0.

Ravens look done. The injuries will be a big hurdle to overcome. KC had a get-right game at the perfect time and the chargers faceplanted.

Buffalo will need to keep getting better.

They do look done.  But like every season, the season is divided into a few chapters.  Clutch plays, Injuries, turnovers, bad coaching, play calling/execution, momentum or lack therof of each play the biggest roles in each chapter.  
 

While deck is stacked against them to win the division I think they will make the playoffs as long as they don’t suffer any more key injuries.  I imagine that playing  the lions and chiefs with all backups on the DL (among many other injuries) would be challenging to overcome.  If they can get healthy and stay healthy and make some adjustments to the D (which they did last season) the WC is within their grasp.  Winning the  division is within their grasp if a certain 41 year old QB gets injured (and potentially even if he remains healthy).

 

We definitely need to get better.  Especially on D.  They really miss Ed.  Adding he, Milano, Hoecht, (potentially) max and Ogunjobi should help.  If bishop continues to improve and Rapp can play like he did last season the back end might be able to hold up and give us more flexibility with defensive play calls.   We just have to stay healthy (enough).  We can’t afford lose Benford in yet another season ending defeat.  I don’t think Mahomes would be undefeated vs Josh in the playoffs if he had played both of those games

 

lots can change on a dime.  We were dead to rights in the 2023 regular season.  On the outside looking in nov 26th, losing 3 of 4 and multiple games out of the division lead AND wild card. We ended up hosting KC in the playoffs as the 2 seed

[Coach Tuesday]

Madibuke is out for the season.  Huge loss for them.  KC is now the main foe for 2025.

[Harold Jackson]

Lamar Jackson in September. Loses to Allen, Mahomes, Goff. It doesn't matter if they win the rest of their games. They'll suck in playoffs.

[Buffalo Ballin]

Baltimore Ravens is PRAYING for a Wildcard spot right now.

 

- They have the worst defense in the NFL.

- O-line is collapsing.

- Lamar Jackson is injured.

- Derrick Henry is washed up.

 

They're in big trouble.

Vegas still has the Ravens as mortal locks to make the playoffs at -475.

Now we need to beat KC to secure #1 seed.
