KC is ranked 4th and NO is ranked 9th in the league in scoring offense. Niners are ranked 2nd. Don't believe everything the media tells you. This offense is just as good as this defense and the Ravens better be ready to bring it on both sides of the ball.

Too bad the game isn't played inside a calculator. Healthy Mahomes in the playoffs worries me, they could knock us off.

I'm very real about my team, I have zero delusions of invincibility. 49ers ain't it, not a great match up.

Belichick was also probably holding back on the playbook. He likely figured the regular season loss was a non factor for them, and he'd rather save some things for when they meet in the playoffs.

Pats offense never caught up with their D. They've been having O line issues before the season began, then the WRs started to get hurt...they're beginning to get healthy at the right time (kinda like us) and should be good by the time playoffs come.

Ravens are the most complete team in football. If you think this is an offense vs. defense juggernaut game you're in for a rude awakening. Ravens have the #1 offense and a top 8 defense.

The thing is the niners and patriots are several tiers above every other team defensively. Both are on pace to be all time teams. The niners are a tier above the Patriots because our line actually makes the defense and not the secondary.

So yeah being anything outside of top 2 is a huge dropoff. The niners line is far superior to the jags line from a few years ago that lost in the championship game. And we don't have Tom Brady holding us back.

Remember the team has only lost 1 game by a missed field goal in overtime without kittle or sanders playing and staley and mglintchey both coming back from a month off and getting doninated.

Every other win has been a dominant blowout.

The only real chance the Ravens have is the niners start Staley and Jimmy g has a horrible game because of pressure. If staleys not in the game there's pretty much no chance.

People dont realize Witherspoon being in the backend really makes us alot stronger Lamar will be running and converting and if we get bad weather then I think it's a bad matchup for us but if it's good weather I think we slow them down and play 8 in the box ....on offense it will be interesting they have a good backend and early lurking out there but there dline is suspect imo so they will probably play 8 in the box and I feel we can catch them for huge game breaking plays here and there

We have twice their talent. If we lose its on Shanahan and or Jimmy g choking.

They literally have no chance with the same coaching and I wouldn't bet against Jimmy g giving the game away.

Even IF the Ravens win today (I'll be there in the miserable weather), we've been down that lame, lack of innovative offensive coordinator road. It lead to a loss in the SuperBowl. Against the Raven's no less! Ravens will be eliminated due to that lack of G. Ro's offensive creativity. When football fans say "one-trick pony", we mean if you loose that pony, you have no options. Without Lamar, they have no way to win. In this case, 9ers would continue to win regardless of whether we had Jimmy G, Dee Ford, Breida, Staley, etc. A true team. Sorry Raven's fans! Enjoy losing to Buff, NE, KC in the playoffs by better coaching and deeper talent.
