We might want to occasionally spy him with Milano too. Those tackles are turnstiles but Mahomes is still super slippery and isn’t afraid to take off.

Exactly right. The Chiefs need to figure out where an extra 7 points is gonna come from, either punt return or pick 6. We just need to do what we’ve been doing every week.

Yup. I think we were mostly conservative because the Ravens never really slowed down our run, then McD played his usual way with a lead. It allowed us to be conservative. I think we are basically waiting (almost begging) for teams to stack the box so Josh can torch them but they won’t do it. It’s a good situation.

They were playing 2 deep. You run the ball and hit underneath. We ran all over them for 3 quarters.

Stephen A said we don’t have a chance unless Cooper gets catches.

Everyone has seen us lose in a multitude of ways which is how these narratives come to life. A dropped 2 point conversion to tie the game becomes “losing the game” because we’ve always lost those types of games. People assume that if they tied it, we would definitely lose.

That’s trashy. Stop it.

After watching it again, he wasn’t all that good. The passes where he was rushed and flat out missed were really important plays in the game. Overall, he was pretty sloppy except for the few long completions.

I think we win by 13 or more.

Not kicking the FG would’ve been a fireable offense. That’s some Matt LaFleur level *****. Yup. Our OL was getting blown up at that moment and it wasn’t going to end well. Glad we didn’t.

Yeah but the back would’ve been stopped at the same spot. It was going nowhere. There wasn’t space to run right or left.

I would’ve rolled Josh out with the option to throw on 2ND down. Then run (not from shotgun)on 3rd down, FG. Tush push was a bad idea.

This is what MCD does with a lead at the half. 1st half: game plan works perfectly, 2 turnovers, we get a lead, which then takes Henry out of the game. That is the perfect scenario to be in. Couldn’t be better. 2nd half: McD gets scared and conservative and gives back ALL of those advantages that the players earned in the 1st half. Game gets closer. Running with Henry now becomes an option for Ravens with plenty of time on clock. Henry destroys us. Defense is gassed.

Let’s not pretend that McD wasn’t in his ear demanding ball protection/no risk on those drives.

Except for the 2 turnovers which took Henry out of the game until that late drive. Their defense was stout in the 2nd half but I expected that. McD let them back in the game, which also brought Henry back into the game. He tried to sabotage his own game plan. Could you imagine?
