The Defense struggled in th e 4th quarter...and the Offense should have had at least another TD...this may be the worst game of the year for them, and that is scary for the rest of the NFL...
Also, we took the lead in what, early 2nd qtr? And once we had the lead....we never gave it back...Baltimore pulled within 3 at one point, but the Chiefs got ahead by two scores, forced the Ravens to bench Henry and go one dimensional, and won an important game against the second best AFC team. Chiefs are now officially living rent free in the Ravens head. |

Fatigue was probably the main reason for the defense’s relative struggle in the fourth quarter.

Solid first game. Special attention for Kingsley, Rice and Worthy. Great game for those guys. Defense played pretty damned well. I think we're ahead of the curve right now.

I sincerely hope Hollywood is good to go against Cinci. I can't wait watch this offense eat when it's at full strength. |

Our defense is going to destroy non-mobile quarterbacks. With Lamar, we were trying to contain and spy all day.
I think we’ll only get better from here. |

The Ravns 3rd down conversions were frustrating as hell. Need the defense to get off the field so they aren't so gassed late in the fourth quarter

There's definitely areas of our D that I think will take a step back, probably CB, LB and DT will still be horrid outside of Jones. BUT, I also think they take awhile to click and tend to improve through the season. They did pretty well and I think they'll get better. I'd really like Chenal to eat into some of Bolton's snaps to see if he's a viable replacement next year. Better athlete, does a lot of the same things, but maybe doesn't have the game IQ.

Man....I was sitting here doing my medical treatment and flipped over to Boomer and Gio just to see what the convo was.
I normally don't watch it much so other than Boomer I don't recognize any of the guys on there. One of the guys on there was bitching about the fact that the TD was overturned by the replay....man he was pathetic. Almost as bad as listening to all the Ravens players whining. Gotta love being the new villains of the NFL.. |

Yeah I agree and you can probably blame mahomes for pulling a Justin Herbert and rifling passes a little too hot to his running backs. We also had the kelce drop. It shows that our floor is better than Baltimore’s ceiling which is great. But you can see some of the frustration in mahomes’ face. We haven’t fully unleashed mahomes yet. It took a blown coverage to get our only passing td. Hollywood will make a huge difference and (shudder) Mvs probably would have too. Great win but as a spoiled fan, it would’ve also been nice to have a statement game that put the ridiculous Lamar comparison to rest. Lamar did just enough for people to still stan him and to gripe about close calls but I think most of us know we can boat race that team last night on a good night let alone a great one. Good fuel going into the rest of the season.

Expecting Spags to let the opponents first possession result in scoring. So he can learn their tendencies, never gets easier

Also, when is Mahomes going to start getting the protection he deserves from the officiating? Two late hits out of bounds from the dirty Ravens. |

Defense needs to figure out how to stop Lamar running the ball for 122 yards next time we face them...

My initial thoughts…
- worthy for now will be mecole hardman except without all the mistakes and blown opportunities. That’s how we brought tyreek along. Good way for Reid to slowly bring him along while also giving him an impactful role right away. Unlike rashee who took a while to earn Reid’s trust - what a huge night for Kingsley. If he plays like this against a top shelf defense in his very first start… whoa baby. Also I feel like Taylor getting a full offseason to reset and not be in his head about timing will make him look more comfortable this year - our RB depth is a huge upgrade - at kelces age we may see a little regression in his production and some of that high usage will shift to rashee. We seem content to use rashee as a power slot. And why not. He’s terrific in this. I still wonder if his role eventually expands downfield but it may not need to. The Noah gray contract and his usage makes me wonder if the chiefs are slowly bringing along Wiley or do they just not really see it with him - when Hollywood is back I wonder what that means for the back of our wr depth chart. Do we need mecole now that worthy is legit? It also feels like mahomes doesn’t trust Watson and at this point he’s kind of a keepaway option |
