Chiefs Ravens Week 1

[s.r.genovese]

They better get an aggressive game plan and go in there and dictate how the game is played. Don't let them tell you how to play again. Take it to them

They will probably overcorrect and run it into a brick wall.

I was hoping for a SNF homer opener. Oh well. Might as well get this game out of our system

[WNCRavensFan]

Aggressive? I'm calling it now, if a deep pass play isn't called on the 1st Ravens snap, it'll be on the 2nd. I'm also predicting Baltimore gets the ball first (KC will defer or Ravens accept) so it will literally be the 1st or 2nd offensive play of the game and regular season

Who's catching it - Zay, Bate or Tez?

[Ravenswintitle]

Eh, isn't this is why you got Derrick Henry? A back the team can trust, who they can ask to run his ass off and keep the ball out of Mahomes hands? I don't want to see a repeat of the AFCCG where they chuck it all over the place.

aggressive doesn't mean throw the ball all over the place. Have a plan and go with it - don't let the defense dictate how you play

[Shrubbs]

Chiefs feel a lot like New England used to in that they treat the first several games as preseason games. Feels like they always heat up as the year goes on, while Baltimore starts fast generally. I'd rather have KC out of the way (win or lose) in September than in December

Ugh. Not looking forward to it honestly.

If we win, it doesn't mean much aside from going 1-0. Not for nothing in the best division in football but doesn't mean jack squat for us actually doing it when it counts in January.

And if we lose, it's just an extension of the January choke job and no reason for anyone to get excited about anything until we prove we can overcome ourselves (looking at you Harbs, Lamar, Monken, Zay) in January.

Who's catching it - Zay, Bate or Tez?

The one that blows up the entire forum, Bateman. Tez gets the one on the 3rd Ravens drive. The 2nd drive will be mostly about the RBs

So no week 1 positivity at all. Only skepticism or outright negativity?

Who couldn't see this coming a mile away, if I am the NFL schedule maker this was a .........no brainer. The current MVP against the current Super Bowl winners/MVP. Lamar vs Mahomes.........Henry.......I am sure Ms. Swift will be in the house. This has TV ratings written all over it.

The Ravens are now a national draw......up there with the big boys. I like it, you wanna be top dog this is how you have to get there. Lamar has to learn how to win when the spotlight is shining brightest. If this team wants to go where they want to go.......why not start here? I predict right now the Ravens win this game.......but this game doesn't matter. If they meet them in January will be the one that matters.

Here’s the problem reid shows up in the bright lights , harbs doesn’t , mahomes does

[Gjennings85]

Hopefully you guys win that game.

[Goode05]

Seems like a no win for the Ravens win and Everyone will say who cares it’s September. Lose and it will be the same Ravens can’t beat Mahomes especially if Jackson is over amped

Kc is early 3 point favorite
