    I like the Chiefs, always have since the days of Marcus Allen and Joe Montana and the Nigerian Nightmare, but a running offense faces a team that takes pride in stuffing the run means a Ravens edge.

    I don't see the Chiefs having much of a chance in this one.

    I think KC has a great chance of beating the Ravens, keep in mind Hillis gashed the Ravens for 150 yds or so.

    If yesterday taught us anything, it taught us that nothing is a given.

    I'm rooting for Baltimore.

    One thing that the Colts have shown us is Special Teams do matter, their lack of focus on ST has meant:

    -did not recover onside kick in the SB that allowed the Saints to score a TD
    -ran into the punter last evening with 3 minutes left in the game for a first down
    -allowed Holmes to return the kickoff to the 46 yd line with about a minute left in the game

    The Ravens, as much as I dislike them have an excellent ST unit.

    Berry's gotta get a better jam and re-route on that Heap cross. That was Man-Free and he was going to be in trail position all the way. Gotta get the better of him.

    The Chiefs are living in Man-Free and the Ravens just keep running drive routes on them. All the first downs for Baltimore on this drive have been the same way or so it seems.

    Chiefs will have to establish the run game to win IMO. Here's a clip I cut up of their counter trap being broken down.

    Baltimore can't afford to blitz much today. That secondary will be exposed.

    The Jets still punted 3 plays later after the running into the kicker (it had no bearing on the outcome) and it was Cromartie that returned the last KO, not Holmes. Carry on :lol:

    Eric Berry is awesome.


    And I think it's pretty evident watching these games today and yesterday, that not only do we need better line play, but we definitely need better RB play too.

    Berry's range is absolutely off the charts. Did you see the 3rd and 5 for the Ravens that the commentators showed an overhead look? He was about 20 some odd yards deep and they played Man-Free from a 2 Deep disguise look. He was the Robber and he went from backpedal to near the LOS in a heartbeat.

    R+R were so terrible this yr we have forgotten what a good running back can do for an offense.

    And boy does Flacco have some weapons to work with at every skill position a All pro or a #1 pick.

    Boldin was wide open just standing there on 3rd down, Flacco has to make that throw.

    definitely the best of his generation and worthy of discussion. dont forget Butkus, Bedanrik, Nitschke, Huff, Schmidt, George, Lanier, Lambert and Singeltary though

    Flacco holds on to the ball too long and he's not exactly quick footed in the pocket. Those two were the main concerns most people had when he was coming out.

    him and henne are very similar. they both take too long to decide where they are going. the one area where flacco has an edge IMO is he is more aggressive

    And I really like Fasano (perhaps more than most), but we could definitely use another TE like him (or more athletic). He (or players like him) are too valuable in the passing game to be kept in to block so often.

    yeah its surprising to me that eral thomas got all the press this year or at least it seems that way. Berry is absolutely off the charts

    Both are pretty damn good IMO. Difference between the two is that you can play Berry closer to the line than Thomas. Seems like KC flip flops their safety positions quite a bit, similar to what Miami does at times.

    Agreed. I have always been a big fan of Tony Moeaki. Someone like him would be nice.

    I really wanted Quarless, especially with him on the board as late as he was. (would have meant no Nolan Carroll possibly though)

    Earl Thomas got all the attention around here because it was a foregone conclusion that Eric Berry wouldn’t be available at our pick.

    Baltimore needs to start running more shallow crosses, drive routes, and Mesh IMO.

    Better overall athlete as well, when Henne runs it hurts my eyes to watch him, he reminds me of Kosar.

    They are working the crossers again. A ton. They're playing a ton of Man-Free and 2 Zone.
