Wasn’t pretty. But, let’s not act like the Ravens aren’t a good, tough team. It’s hard to contain Lamar. We just need to make sure we’re scoring touchdowns. But hey, we’re better off than we were this time last year. [Reply]

The last season or so I'm not sure that's always the case. A lot of times the defense is stepping up and doing just enough. Even with the conservative approach the offense legit had chances to put this game away and Perine couldn't hang on to the one pass and Mahomes had his pass deflected. The offense had chances to make plays to win this game. [Reply]

The prevent defense needs some work also. They looked like the 2018 Chiefs defense there.
But still did enough to win. Baltimore is a tough team despite whatever players they lost in the offseason.
Lamar is so hard to play against in a prevent, because he’s a mf’r to bring down behind the LOS. We didn’t have a great game tackling, but I thought our strategy of forcing him to make a play in the passing game was a good one - because he didn’t do very well in that category [Reply]

The Chiefs had plenty of chances to put them away early, is right. The kind of stuff that happened at the end of the game, is exactly the kind of stuff that happens when you don't put a team away. Perine flattened out the route. He'll get it down. But yeah I hear you. [Reply]

Yeah, that was surprising. I really thought the Ratbirds Oline would collapse in the second half, and that just didn't happen.
Goddamn lucky to win that one. Left a lot of points on the field. I'm really really really really really really motherfucking sick of games like this. I'm too old for this shit. How about a nice 28 point blowout win next week? And the week after that. And the week after that. Fuck. :-) [Reply]
We gave up 20 to one of the best offenses in the NFL last year and scored 27 while shooting ourselves in the foot constantly on the best scoring defense. I'll fucking take that. [Reply]
