The Ravens were clearly the first big test the Chiefs faced this year. A very good team with a good D. Without our starting LT #1WR things could have very well gone bad for the Chiefs but they didn't let it stop them
Offense. WOW! Just WOW. Doing what they did against one of the top Ds in the league. I asked this on in the gamethread HOW DO YOU STOP THIS OFFENSE?
Patrick Mahomes is making an impact on more then the offense. Make no mistake the reason that the Ravens kept going for 2 was because they knew from the very start that they had to keep up with Mahomes. Mahomes has reached the point where other teams are just scared to face him. And he is only in his 2nd year starting.
Mahomes got bailed out on a throw to Watkins. Watkins just went and took the ball from a defender. That's what having playmakers can do for you. Sometimes having a Playmaker and weapons can make a QB look better. That's what happened on that throw. I beat this horse for years. I am glad we are seeing it week after week. We have guys LOOKING to make plays it's a great thing to see.
Hardman was a huge impact on this game. Great to see from a rookie. And getting Hill back will make things better for him. Again that is scary for the rest of the NFL.
The defense. They had some things go against them. There was some luck that went into some of the late points that the Ravens put up. A horrible non call on the OPI. What's the point in having that reviewable if you are still going to mess up the call? There was some luck on a downfield pass on the following drive. A 50/50 ball bounced their way. Hey these things happen.
That being said tackling was a major concern today. They had runners stopped but missed tackles way to often in that game. The Ravens have a pretty good RB core (Even play one at QB) But you have to MAKE THE TACKLES. That has to get fixed. I did think the coverage was pretty solid today for the most part. But they still have a lot of work to do. We knew this was going to be a work in progress. And they played pretty well for a good amount of that game allowing us to get the big lead. But they can't let up like that. Just can't happen.
I have a road trip with my Brother who is a Ravens fan. I was not looking forward to it if the game went the other way. Instead I got a text that said "Mahomes can eat a (Well you can imagine the rest)" That's what it's like to have to play against Patrick Mahomes.
On to another road game next week. The Lions are not a pushover. They beat the Chargers Lets make sure we take care of business. GO CHIEFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
