    Good lord that Brian Hoyer game was so frustrating, I just remember Deandre Hopkins getting caught on camera going "get that boy out the game" in the middle of the game and Hoyer just looking completely shellshocked as he slowly began realizing more and more that he was not a starting NFL QB.

    This may make posters realize how good this team is. One lucky play gt Stroud going and this defense is the real deal.

    I want no part of Baltimore. We have a better shot against the Chiefs.

    You underestimate them. The only 2 teams that are better than them are the Chiefs and the Ravens.

    I don't want that to happen now. I think it would send us to Bmore.
    My wish was avoiding Baltimore at all cost and playing KC until the Championship game.
    Things never work out the way we want them. =(

    Alas, we must fight on.

    I assume you’re talking about the AFC here and even then you can’t tell me with a straight face they would go into Buffalo and beat them in January.

    Alternative is the Ravens who obviously have our number and is probably our worst match-up. Demeco just can't solve Lamar and Henry. At least the Chiefs game was competitive.

    While I agree with you, I'll take my chances with this defense in snowy Buffalo. They owned Allen in Houston.

    Early temperature forecast for KC next Sunday is in the mid teens for a high temperature.

    That was playoff football right there. We have a championship level defense. If CJ is suddenly going to extend drives with his legs we’re in business.

    CJ, Nico and Mixon have all played in the winter

    Stingley, Lassiter and Bullock may freeze to death

    No joke! Lamar and Henry are just too good. I mean Lamar had a 146.2 RTG at halftime tonight and Henry had 100 yards first half. Sure, our defense is better than Pittsburgh, but the Ravens are crazy good. I'd love nothing more than knocking the Chiefs off their high horse in front of their home field crowd. You have no idea how much I would love that.

    Fantastic game by the defense.

    WAJ and Sting are future HOFers.

    Mixon and Nico en fuego.

    Stroud…..made some great plays but still too many bad decisions and inaccurate throws.

    Can’t expect to win the next round without the offense looking like last year.

    I honestly think there’s a better chance of beating KC.

    It’s not easy beating a good team like that twice. And Shakir was out, Cooper wasn’t there yet. Not that they are great but still miles better than the garbage that they ran out there week 5.

    Why cant we beat buffalo? They have a horrendous defense and Mixon ran all over them. That's a recipe for us to win with the way our defense has been playing. Plus we beat them already. We definitely can't beat the Ravens though.

    We struggle when we can't run the ball. Which is why Baltimore, Minnesota were our worst games this year,

    love how seriously he took the award.
    Sorry for being down on you for the halfback throw option fumble.
    This team loves that play. 1-3 this season. 1 TD from Diggs and 2 disastrous results on the other 2 attempts.

    It seems like it's destined to be a Ravens and Lions Super Bowl, and I don't think there anybody in the league that is stopping the Ravens.
