Pennel won't magically fix everything, but he CAN ensure inside runs get stuffed early, forcing teams to bounce runs outside. That will give our shit LBs a bit more time to get into position to bounce off of runners, hopefully tripping them up or slowing them down enough to allow for gang tackles (i.e. hold them up so Clark, Jones, or Honey Badger can come flying in and lay a stick on them)

We have 1 run stuffer in Nnadi who clearly isn’t 100% coming back from offseason surgery.
Of course getting Pennel back will be huge. |

This is going to be a really difficult test. The Ravens are tough and we have tons of flaws. Mahomes can overcome them and I imagine Reid has a lot of stuff schemed up for this game in particular.
I think it's a touch less favorable than a coin flip for us. But whatever, it's a long season. And the game is entirely winnable. |

1. Our O Line better play better than today or its a long game
2. Our run defense better step up or we are in for a long game 3. Our tackling better improve or we are in for a long game Is it just me or did Mahomes seem off with Hill and Kelce today? I know there was that 53 yard TD but several dropped passes or passes where they were not looking. DOn’t know who that’s on but it just seemed that they were off. Baltimore will be a big test early in this season. |

I don’t know how we are going to stop their rush attack. Pennel will help but god help us with these LB’s.
Neimann is going to get bullied 5 yards down the field before he lays a hand on the ball carrier. Watching that guy play on early downs actually makes me miss Reggie Ragland. |

You give and take. Obviously we'll have a lot to handle with Baltimore's running game. It's basically a 3 or 4 headed monster at this point.
On the flipside I don't think they have the Chargers pass rush. Chargers pass rush is legit. They terrorized Joe Burrow last week and today really gave Mahomes a challenge. It really disrupts an offense. |

It doesn't matter. They are fake news. Their QB is still a RB who pretends to throw. No such pretender to Mahomes' throne will ever usurp his power.
We will come into Baltimore, eat hearty, and leave with our bellies full of blackbird pie. |

Our LBs are shit right now but they were last year too when we whooped Baltimore. And the year before that. It’ll be competitive. |
