Hope Omenihu is a unicorn though.

How was jarret today , heard it mentioned he was coming back from acl

I saw him get 1 TFL at least. Chiefs better not sleep on the Falcons. They went to Philly and beat them with a 70 yd drive inside of 2 minutes with no time-outs. They got lucky to get the chance but they did take advantage against a decent team.

Simmons and bates have played well in the past against us , Judson ,Terrell, Jarret they have talent on D , few match up nightmare on their o as well , but I assume everyone will Perry blowout for us but I could see us losing after 2 emotional tough wins to start.

In my opinion, the key to this game is to get an early lead and keep the crowd and momentum on our side.

Their defense scares me much more than their offense although Bijan can get on a roll.

Simmons, Bates, and Judon all have familiarity with us

It's a dangerous spot. Hope Andy and Nagy have some stuff up their sleeves.

I think our defense feasts.

This. He looked way way better vs Philly. But you can tell it’s not close to 100% and it’s his push off leg. The thing is the falcons can and will run it all day long so cousins just manages game. Fortunately we seem to be pretty good at that. The bigger concern will be if we can guard pitts but based on the first 2 games they barely use him still.

Their defense is pretty solid. We should be fine although the rams defense made us look real bad last time around. But then, the falcons don’t have Aaron Donald so who knows.

We should win this one but we need to show up.

Always like our defense better against statue QBs, but Cousins has some quick outlets and I expect Bijan to be a problem.

Yeah it could be rough sledding for them if we put it all in cousins’ hands. They don’t want to pass the ball. He was really locked in on Drake London and mcduffie can handle them. Gotta just hope that selling out on the run doesn’t make pitts a really tough matchup for our LBs

[gordonelloyd]

I sure hope we can figure out what’s wrong with our defence against tight ends for this game. Otherwise Pitts could really kill us. But only if they are smart and use him more than they seem to want to.

Otherwise, I’m not too worried about their offense. McDuffie will shut down London. I don’t expect Mooney I have another game like he had last night. I think their running game is OK but not great so not too worried about that. Cousins looks like he’s getting back into form, especially in that last drive, so I am a bit worried about him. But not too much.

Mahomes is going to have to play a better game than he did against Cincinnati. I think we still have enough talent with our WRs To beat them here. Who knows how we will handle the running game. Hopefully we have hunt back for this game.

Pitts was great as a rookie, but only has 3 games over 60 yards since then.

Hopefully, we can contain him like everyone else has.

Just gotta make sure Mooney doesn’t hit on a big play or two. I trust our pass rush to get to Cousins if he’s forced to slowly move down the field.

Jalen Carter wrecked their OL a few times.

[RaidersOftheCellar]

Probably shouldn't be taking this game lightly. Not that anyone here is competing in the game.

Chris Jones should wreak havoc on an immobile Kirk Cousins.

A worse Falcons team gave us a fight in 2020. I don’t expect anyone on the team to look past anybody.

Shit, we got beat by an abysmal Raider team last year.

[O.city]

I like our defense playing a QB who you know where he's gonna be.

[chiefzilla1501]

I think our LBs are well built to stop the run. Which is exactly what they want to do. And as said before if we build on that by jumping to a quick lead we’re golden. I think cousins on a healthy leg is one thing but you can tell he’s ginger even just from dropping back
