The big difference (and we saw this in the playoffs) is that when the Chiefs really need to score points they go off (the SB and all the issues leading up to it notwithstanding). The Browns, Ravens, Bills, etc all have teams with quarterbacks who haven’t shown they can do this consistently. That’s the big difference. We have the men. We have the weapons. That’s why we’ll fight — and we’ll win! |

KSHB 41 is showing Browns vs Falcons tonight. Two Chiefs games and only this other game? What in the wide world of sports?

Descendents of former exiled convicts?

Interesting thoughts in this thread. Looking forward to the match-up. Browns will basically have 8-9 new starters on defense this year. It will take a few weeks to gel, but we have high hopes the defense will be much, much better by end of year- especially in secondary. Not sure it makes sense to bring up last years results when talking about this game.
Obviously, a tough matchup for Browns week 1, but might be a tad closer than a lot of these predictions. |

Imagine if Mayfield had gone down early in the 2nd half and Mahomes was healthy throughout. Blowout city. |

The AFC North does look like one of the more balanced divisions in football on paper. Curious to see how that one shakes out. My gut says Ravens take it.

With that rationale, “KC has a bunch of new guys on the o-line, doesn’t mean they are good” See? I can do this too. You guys throw around the word Jags a lot. What we trotted out last year in the playoffs was a bunch of Jags and Myles and Denzel. We have upgraded literally every position on defense. Browns defense will be much, much better by end of year. I’m not challenging KC’s offense. I realize it will be extremely difficult game for Browns D, but they will be light years better than the abortion we had last year. |

Well if the Browns get to play the Chiefs without Mahomes for half of it...it'll be interesting.
KC was cruising until he went out... |

I would argue Jadeveon Clowney and Takk McKinley is an upgrade over Adrian freaking Clayborn (who started last year in the playoffs) Malik Jackson is an upgrade over Ogunjobi at DT. JOK will be used in blitz packages as well. To say our pass rush will be worse is simply wrong.

Not sure what you’ve seen from Clowney or McKinley over the last 2 years that would make you enthusiastic about the pass rush at all. Malik Jackson is old and hasn’t been productive in like 3 seasons. Maybe he finds the fountain of youth this year. No mention of losing Sheldon Richardson or Olivier Vernon?

Oh yeah, and PLEASE blitz Mahomes. That always works.
