Let’s do this!
Chiefs/Ravens:
-Difference-Maker?: MVS maybe? The Baltimore D can’t be had in too many places but pass plays outside the numbers is a bit of a weakness and for K.C. this is a strength-they averaged 7.4 yards per completion and connected at a 69.3% rate.
-Scrambled or Over-Easy?: Lamar! prefers scrambled, as he ran for 489 yards on non-designed runs. Given that the Chiefs blitzed the 4th-most times Jackson needs to get chunk plays with his legs when the pocket collapses.
-Scoring defense-wise these are the two best teams in the NFL-the Ravens allow only 16.5 points per game and the Chiefs are at 17.3. That said, I’d take the over of 44 given the talent of the opposing qb’s. When they’ve played each other the lowest total was 51.
-Baltimore is 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games.
-Bad News For Spags: Since he took over as Chiefs DC in 2019 his defenses have allowed the most qb rushing TD’s.
-Kelce needs 6 catches to tie Jerry Rice for the most in the playoffs.
-As everyone expected, Kadarius Toney is a no-show for the game. Whatever, it’s only a conference championship. I feel sorry for his new baby girl, knowing how often he’s going to drop her.
-Taylor Swift is 8-3 when attending games.
-Injuries: Joe Thuney is out, Marlon Humphrey, Mark Andrews and Pacheco are in.
-Pacheco is key in that when K.C’s rushing number passes the 100 yard threshold they are 7-2. When they fail to reach it they fall to 6-4. As individual players go, the Ravens have only allowed 100+ yards to Zach Moss and Jerome Ford.
Enjoy the tilt.
clowney doing his best 1985 wilber marshall impersonation
I only know who Joe Ferguson is because of Ditka describing that play
What a clown…
The good news is there is DirecTV on this flight.
But of course, the safety announcements/welcome video is loading now right at this critical juncture in the game.
Bah.
Just avoid shouting out “What a bomb!” or you’ll get to meet the Air Marshal.
“Look at how long this is, Jim”
Careful, Tony: that kind of behavior is what got Jeffrey Toobin booted off TV.
Oh another Raven slicing something up he shouldn’t have?
I’m not sure there’s enough context here for the banner, but I’m going to suggest it anyway.
Zay adding to his boneheadedness doing the equivalent of punching the dugout wall
In five plays from scrimmage, flowers made 3 catches and 2 mistakes
Per Boston College math that’s a net of 8.
baltimore are the best when theyre the underdog running through the playoffs wrecking the bracket
(see: 2000, 2012)
theyre horrible as a frontrunner
(see: 2006, 2019, now)
It’s the ol’ Gonzaga maneuver!
/Fuck Gonzaga
All our cable tv up here is from Spokane. It is nauseoUs.
UConn did last March.
Karma is a bitch.
They just need to shake it off
I would make a joke about how the ravens need to take put mahomes, but we know what they’ll say…
I do love to see an unhappy Harbs!
Flowers is both good and a complete fuck up.
“Burning.”

Cutting your hand on the bench is just the *chef’s kiss*

Same dumb shit KC did inside the 1 last week, Jeebus.
Die by the touchback fumble, live by the touchback fumble.
That’s a fumble, and that’ll be it for the Ravens.
Holy Bananas! This game delivers!
Oh she is loose. That is a touchback.
bye ratbirds
This game is delivering in so many ways.

Hahahahhahahhahahahhahahahahahhahahaa
Taunting is some BS.
And like Petronel said, that ref needs a honey ricola or sommat
Trying to cripple another player: within the rules, saying mean things: penalty.
Zay Flowers putting that Boston College “education” on full display for the world to see.
… you were saying
I give him credit for the effort on the dive, I guess.
Guess Zay had some flowery language, amirite?
/shows self out
Just terrible, well done
I’m not sure who Clayton Patterson is, but this is an amazing shot he got of Baltimore’s offense today:

Aww, yeah, here’s Terrell Suggs to fire up the crowd, presumably this time not by threatening to drown them with bleach if they behave the way he wants them to.
Suggs was the 2nd pick to fire up the crowd after the PR department’s calls to Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes were not returned.
Chiefs up by two scores but the announcing team is telling me that the Ravens have all the momentum. WTF?
If they score on this possession, absolutely true.
Ok Ballsitchmore, good start. Don’t fuck it up and give up a 40 yard play now.
after 2012 we are only allowed one (1) good harbaugh at a time
This would be a fine and effective gameplan if the motherfuckers weren’t already down 10 points with basically one quarter to play..
Defense needs to score, apparently
Damn, give that poor ref some hot tea or sumpin’
“A Purple Plunge” is both a fundraiser for Baltimore’s National Aquarium and what it’s called when Ray Lewis stabs you in the chest.
or whats gonna happen to little kelce with taytay if they win tonight
Fun Fact: A Purple Plunger was the code word called into stadium janitorial services when Tony Siragusa backed up a toilet in the locker room.
7 nation army and that racist tomahawk chant sound kinda similar, are they in the same key? Seems like similar tempo and rhythm
Hmmmm,
Who’s the last afc champion who had to win at least two road game?
I know the Donks (WOO!!) did so at least once.
Baltimore I want to say
I just got off the phone with my 90 year old mother, who dislikes and doesn’t watch football, yet she knew that Travis Kelce was dating Taylor Swift.
too easy
Oh, well played, sir!
/golf clap
Got an email today from a friend about his son’s travel baseball doing a fundraiser. How are they raising funds you (didn’t but maybe could) ask? Selling Super Bowl squares.
I can’t decide whether this is a proud moment or a shameful one.
What’s the prize if you win? Or is the prize the friends you make along the way?
At least my pool pays and is purely for profit.

Wow, you’re friends with Alyssa Milano!?

Man, Baltimore changes a person quick!
If that guy starts doing appearances as a Tay-Tay lookalike and has great success I will regain some faith in humanity
/looking forward to Alex’s opinion of Swift’s latest release, “Pee Break At Halftime”.
She’s doing a collab with Dean Pees?!
I was thinking R. Kelly but whatever.

One of the most brilliant things of the 2000s.
How much botox has Romo shot into his forehead? Some of it or all of it?
I just assumed that JJ got him a facelift as a treatment for broken ribs back when he was playing
https://twitter.com/bearsaremean/status/1751714828454867059
I assume it’s because Ray Lewis went all Jesusy
It’s pretty simple, and I get it’s a joke, but, I feel the need to answer anyways
1. Ed Reed wasn’t drafted till after the ravens first superbowl, and he hates the media
2. The ray lewis case is an open and shut case of self defense
Is anyone going to be able to find Reed though? He knows at least a dozen switchyards like the back of his hand.
The two of you just stay out of each other’s way, I take it?
Gentlemen’s agreement.
Ontario and Maryland have some distance between them, so no disputes.
Probably.
Light up the Tomsula Signal!
Any excuse to play this!
https://youtu.be/e0BcVkCbZLs?si=6jXaGrIQ90JWQ5i-
Let us know when he hits Northern Ontario.
You’ll be happy to know in lieu of eating responsibly, SHAME PIZZA order has been placed.
Good on ya!
Reheating last night’s shame pizza as we speak!
I got shame pizza from last week I had in the freezer!
At 4 seconds, why not TRY to run the kick back? Fuckshit to lose.
I guess they could fumble and KC could run it in, but if they’re gonna play that fucking risk averse they don’t deserve to be here. I hope they aren’t gonna anal pucker the entire rest of the game
“What’s an anal pucker?” – Goatse
Baltimore should be encouraged by this. They can’t play much worse and they’re only down 10.
“I wasn’t holding, he just looked like he needed a hug!”
There are two collective nouns for ravens, an Unkindness and a Conspiracy
The former applies to a gathering of Supreme Court judges (as currently composed) as well.
I like Unkindness even better!
Oh, that flag hurts.
nobody wants to win this now
Make up call is.. okay?
Two silver linigs:
1) The sound is now off and staying that way
2) At least I can go get Zaxby’s ahead of the FUCK LIONS match
I got a raw chicken sandwich from Zaxby’s once. Never went back.
I find Romo easier to ignore/block out than Collinsworth. Weird.
I get that, but the complicating factor is I actually WANT to hear Tirico’s call (I think he’s really good, and properly lets the game “breathe”).
I don’t like Nantz any more than I like Romo. He was only good as a complement to Billy Packer (who I will go to my grave defending).
Billy Packer was an ACC-apologist who long outlived his relevance.
He loved the ACC, but hated each and every team (including his alma mater, Wake Forest)
It may just be that we’ve had to put up with Collinsworth much longer. So. Much. Longer.
This Kelce fellpw may have a shot at a career in this game, no?
BLEERGH screwing over a team is more fun when it’s not your team getting screwed.
