As a Jays fan, what a moment today. First division title since 2015.

 

Yankees Red Sox is gonna be a hell of a series 

 

My in laws are Canadian, but been a Sox fan 10 years before Blue Jays were born.

 

Ironically I'm from NY originally. Had the sense to be a Bills & Sabres fan... I think? 😬😃

How about that ending in Vegas.  Good for the Bears.  It’s about time they came out on the other end of that *****.

 

Incredible how that place sounds dominated by Bears fans.  Vegas has virtually no HFA.

Maxx Crosby - please tell me they’re open to trading him.

It's not who you play but when you play them.

 

Chiefs are basically playing the Ravens second team defense. In their building. Yea, KC executed well but this big win really doesn't show me that KC is back. 

 

Ravens offense was there. 

The Chiefs D is a problem.  
 

And their O is going to get better.

Baltimore's schedule gets a lot easier. They'll unfortunately probably go on a run.

 

Probably true but that defense is going to continue to be a real problem. They were down 6 defensive starters by the end of this game, and key starters at that. They'll get a couple guys back I'm sure but that's a lot of holes to make up for.

I am interested to see how they look against an also desperate Texans team next week. 

Especially if Jackson is hurt.

The loser of that game might be done for the year.

It’s not QUITE there yet, but it’s going to be an uphill battle for sure. 

[McBean]

Another big game, and another unreal performance by Spags defense.

 

guy is unreal 

[Brand J]

Ravens NEVER commit to Henry when they play the Chiefs. They always seem to want to put it on Lamar’s shoulders and pass more than usual. It’s odd.

Amazes me how a lot of people thought otherwise 

If Daboll gets his head out of his a** and puts Dart in at halftime last week, the Chiefs come into this game 0-3.  Now they look formidable again.

Even if they were 0-3, it's still crazy to count them out.

 

They have gotten to the past 3 super bowls for a reason. Last time I checked Mahomes, Kelce, Chris jones, Andy Reid and Spags are still there

They are not the same without Madabuike…he’s the Ravens’ Chris Jones

Just a few thoughts on this game.  

 

1.  You want to beat the Ravens?  Score a couple of TDs on them early while getting 2 or 3 stops on defense.  This gets Henry off the field and all of a sudden the 2x MVP has to do it by himself and he just can't.  Their offense literally runs through Henry and he is the key to their success on offense.  If they are one dimensional and you have no fear of a freight train running over you on every play, they are much easier to defend.  And, while they have a ton of talent on defense, for whatever reason, it is not coming together for them yet.

 

2.  The Chiefs are far from dead.  In fact, when Rice comes back and they can put him out there with Worthy, Brown, and Thorton, I am not sure there will be a better overall WR corps in the league.

 

3.  Mahomes is good.  Really good.  Not sure he is as good as the glazing he gets week in and week out, but he's good, especially when he has a full compliment of weapons.  He may not be Allen that can make it work with a bunch of nobodies, but with the talent and speed they will be able to put out there when Rice comes back is going to be tough to handle.

 

4.  Probably the most frustrating part of all of this is that they have Spags calling that defense.  And with Jones in the middle of it, their defense is the reason that team has been as successful as they have.  It doesn't matter how good their offense is a lot of the time because their defense is always dominant when they need it the most.  Can we offer him like $20 mill this week to come run our defense?

 

Anyway, it is what it is.  It's a long season and so much can happen injury-wise to change things drastically.  But I would suspect these are still the 2 teams we will have to get through to have a chance to win a Super Bowl.

Why isn't he a head coach yet?

You know, it's entirely possible Lamar is injured in a way that would exacerbate if he's out there.

 

I like our guy better, but it's really a bad look to put down another team's player like this.  "he doesn't look all that hurt to me" LOL short of blood running down his face or a bone sticking out of his leg how can you possibly tell?

https://www.nfl.com/news/ravens-qb-lamar-jackson-suffers-hamstring-injury-in-game-vs-chiefs

This is a regular season game, and it's a long season.

Don't care what it looks like, Ravens and their fans are ass!

[gonzo1105]

I’m not going to crown the Chiefs either. The Ravens play small in big games, with all the injuries, the Ravens could be in big trouble especially if Jackson’s hamstring holds him out and lingers the season. They are so reliant on Jackson’s legs being a threat when you take that away and his ability to extend plays the offense won’t be the same. 
 

The Texans will be interesting because they aren’t very good but the Texans o line will be facing a Ravens pass rush that isn’t good to begin with and now these injuries make them really bad. Toss in Jackson being compromised or out and the Ravens could be looking at 1-4

Honestly I think that's the bigger long term effect. Even if the chiefs look mortal we all kind of assumed they'd rally to some extent by end of season.

 

If the Ravens skid hard and early and lose most of their D I honestly don't know if they can keepup
