Took them a few games to figure it out this season....but the Ravens are now a huge threat to the Chiefs.....

Very possible the Ravens make the SB, unless the Chiefs offense figures things out.
Honestly I think if the Ravens keep this up it won’t matter what the Chiefs do. Playoff Lamar won’t get it done though, he has to play like he is now.

Lamar has been worse in the offs than I expected

Henry and the defense will be the reason they get to the SB....IMO.

Best way to beat the chiefs is to keep Mahomes off the field and wear down Jones on it

After seeing Ohtani play 6 seasons with the Angels, never making the playoffs, then going to the World Series in his 1st season with the Dodgers you have to wonder what Mike Trout is thinking about his decisions to stay in Anaheim. Especially since he only made it to the playoffs once in his 14 seasons with them.

No they can’t do it without Lamar, he is the wild card. He is what makes them unbeatable if he plays well.

He’s had the chance and continues to decline

He seems to like being on a second tier team in a first tier city rather than the big fish in the biggest pond

He also seems to like the idea of only playing for one team

But maybe he gets tired of this disaster the angels are

Also making a trade is so hard because his name value and the fact that his contract means is trade value is basically neutral. Meaning zero surplus value in terms of what you’re paying him

Like The Q said....

Keeping Mahomes off the field is of utmost importance....because even like last season when he did not have a truly reliable receiver.....they still won it all.

Henry runs the ball like nobody else in the League and the defense can limit Mahomes when he is on the field.

Chiefs only beat sf because sf made enough passing mistakes to get the chiefs d off the field so Jones wasn’t too tired to make that huge stop in the rz in overtime

If he’s too tired, that’s a td and game over

Either way, still seems like it’s detroits year

No rb is ever again going to be the reason a team wins a Super Bowl. That’s just not how the game is played now days. Yes Mahomes has been very off but he is still winning. The Chiefs are no match for this version of the Ravehs though if Lamar changes his playoff ways. And that’s a huge if.

This was all true last year as well
