Re: GAME THREAD - Ravens/Chiefs - Season opener!
We were all thinking the same thing.

Re: GAME THREAD - Ravens/Chiefs - Season opener!
500 yards of offense...I think that is a record.
While I don't agree at all with the playcalling, this type of output...38 points with practically no short fields and 500 yards is impressive.

Ray Rice with the first 100 yard game of the year too. Very nice.

Re: GAME THREAD - Ravens/Chiefs - Season opener!
Game over, we win.
Things clear:
1) We have an offense. Flacco once he settles, is DEFINITELY capable of being a big time QB. Rice is a sweet runner, and the 3 backs we have can keep it going all game long.
2) The gameplan will need to be adjusted next week. On both sides. More runs will need to be mixed in, and we will need to cover better and blitz better, or Rivers will pick us apart.
3) No matter how shitty the team is - we are 1-0, and 1-0 in the AFC. And that's all that really matters. We know they won't overlook the Chargers.

I just don't like Joe being asked to throw that much. He had a number of errant throws (at people's feet, above their heads) that were very concerning, and whilst he put up good numbers in the end, it's still the Chiefs...

Id like to have seen Rice get that last TD at the end...he earned IMO!

Re: GAME THREAD - Ravens/Chiefs - Season opener!
Well, and I'm not as concerned about that as where was Demetrius Williams today? Mason was bottled up which teams have learned how to do. That throw to Mason near the endzone that he dropped because of coverage should have been thrown to Williams who could have jumped up.
Its wierd they got 300 yards passing because watching from the stands I don't remember how they got it all.
Sephy is correct though, a win is a win and we are 1-0. I'd rather be that and looking to SD rather than hoping to be 1-1 after next week.

96 QB rating.
Joe Flacco is not just a good QB who you want to "not get you in trouble" he is on his way to being a great QB who can win you games with his arm....like he did today.
This is a new era, the Joe Flacco era and you can forget about the offense you have see the past 10 years. Open it up and let a great QB sling it.
He is not going to get any better handing the ball off. He has a weapon in his right arm and we need to use it.
Now when we are up by 2 TD's late it might be a little different,but we were not today. We needed every one of those pasing yards and Joe delivered.
