Really, Sean? You ****ing lost by 4 scores to the 2 seed and you're gonna stand up there talking about how you were going to beat the Chiefs if you had NOT gotten your asses absolutely stoved in by Buffalo?

**** off, clown.

Sorry to be a thread buzzkill but Chiefs beat whoever they end up playing.

WE literally present the worst match up for the RAvens. We have stopped running games all season, including Henry. And we have corners that can play man to man all day regardless of who they have.

The only thing that gets tough is Lamar if he breaks contain. Which he did to us a lot in week 1. But it didn't really hurt us eg net them a lot of scores.

Buffalo is a tougher matchup for us. Not the RAvens.

Just another dumb**** who doesn’t understand the difference between regular season and playoff football.

I agree for the most part...But the Ravens TE's are a problem. They figured that out in the 2nd half of week 1, and that was without Mark Andrews.

I think you can make good arguments for why either team is a tougher matchup. I go back and forth on it but I think I'd rather face Buffalo. They just seem like more of a straightforward, one-dimensional team if they're going to beat us. Whereas the Ravens seem to be hitting their stride and figuring out how to make their offense and defense work at a high level at just the right time.

It'll be a tough game regardless and I'm sure whichever team wins on Sunday will seem plenty capable and have a lot of momentum.

Also I don’t think the bills are one dimensional James Cook is a worse match up for us than Henry imo.

If the Bills beat us it'll be because Josh Allen had a fabulous game. I think Cook is excellent but we've absolutely shown the ability to stop guys like him, and he's not going to be the game wrecking freak.

Henry is just a monster. And having to deal with the threat of him and Lamar playing off each other is just exhausting to even think about.

They scored ten points in the second half. Which was the same as what they got in the first half. Chiefs put up 27 and it should have been more as Juju and I think Rice dropped TD's.

What's interesting is the Ravens team from week one are pretty much the exact same squad. Meanwhile our team now has Hopkins, Hunt, Humphries, Omenihu, Hendershot and Hollywood. Plus Worthy and Hicks have improved. Noah Gray, Wharton and Joshua Williams have gotten better and guys like Perine have carved out a role too. So if we do progress to the next round and play the Ravens they'd be facing a much better squad imo. And tbh the same is true vs the Bills as we were missing six or seven guys against them last time.

Thank you for including hendershot. It’s likely we will easily win because of hendershot

Our defense having not even played a real game yet faced Henry and Lamar. Bolton and Watson were coming back from injury, Nazeeh was getting his first NFL snaps and Omenihu wasn't there. At that point you'd expect it to be rough because our defense wasn't in tackling/game shape yet. But they stood up to it very well. Now everything the Ravens do is on tape. They got 185 rush yards in the game and Henry got a TD and it didn't matter.
