If not this Sunday and the Ravens win, Andrews no doubt will play in the SB. That is a scary thought. Chief's defense is one of their strengths. They still have Mahomies and Kelce and a good supporting cast. Should be a fun game to watch. Gotta go with the home team though. Looks like rain is in the forecast lol.

If the Chiefs can't stop the run better than they did against Buffalo the Ravens will run them out the stadium.

How many of you are gonna be freaking out when Deebo doesn't practice tomorrow?

I don't freak out, but I would very much like to see him play this week, lol. Practice time would be a helpful indicator.

I read somewhere that it is most likely that he will be limited in practice out of caution.

I am sure KS is going full subterfuge re: Deebo and we wont even know if he is playing until right before kick off.

Both RG and LG are out the playoffs. Glasgow is their backup.

Seems like Hargrave needs to earn that contract and maybe we run a few stunts this game with a less mobile QB.

Whole DL needs to earn their money. That includes Nick. Love the guy and I know he's getting a lot of extra attention but we've seen him straight up wreck games on his own in the past. Need that for the next hopefully 2 games.

We all know Goff. You give him time and he's a solid QB. You pressure him and mistakes will come. We gotta force him to be uncomfortable and capitalize on the mistakes.

Obviously stopping the run is the other HUGE thing we'll need to deal with. We know what the Lions want to do on offense. Keep them out of 3rd and short situations. Stay in your gaps, tackle well and fly to the ball!

Chiefs run D is not very good and they are pretty beat up after the Bills game.

I feel like the Ravens are a considerably better team on both sides of the ball this year, but it's hard to go against top tier HC, an all time great at QB, and a good overall defense. Just think this isn't a fun matchup for them.

I would prefer the 9er have the lead in the 3rd and never look back.

You will need to run up the score because the Lions are never out of the game.

If Goff has to throw for the whole 4th the Sacks/interceptions will seal the deal.

If Lamar plays a clean game I don't see how the Chiefs win.

Tay Tay will cast her witch spell on Lamar.

Agreed. He probably has some room for error too honestly. Good luck to the NFL going forward if the Chiefs can win a game like this with their current team, lol.

I do think this will be a tight back and forth game. I like the 49ers chances, with no weather it will be a true home field advantage. SF just proved it can win that type of game, I feel like they will do it again. I don't see a blowout, but I do see a win. GO 49ers!

I see KC as a historically good QB, a HOF coach and a very good D. It's more or less a coin toss, I'd probably bet BAL, but taking down Mahomes in postseason is not easy. Kelce is a HOFer. Pacheco is a problem. KC is a pretty physical football team, like BAL. It'll be fun, Champ Sunday is maybe the best day, for football

That's exactly what I was saying. Only thing I'd point out again is KC, while having a good defense, is not good against the run and that's pretty important against Baltimore. Baltimore also isn't letting the Chiefs offense go up and down the field like Buffalo did later in that game.

It's funny because I think a lot of people are going to jump to bet KC +3.5 after their performance last week… seeing a prime opportunity get two of the GOATs (Reid Mahomes) and get points. But last week was obviously the time to do it, and like most 'investment' opportunities they might have waited too long.

Have to admit that I feel a lot better about this game than I did going into the Packer's game, which I thought the team had a really good chance to lose. Kudos to the Lions for getting this far, but if the Niners bring their A game there's no reason they should lose this match-up. I'm not as sold on Goff as a lot of the national media types seem to be. Go Niners!

KS knows first hand the Lions won't give up

We played Detroit game 1 in 2021

we had a huge lead a few years back and he subbed out starters

Bosa took off his tape and was chilling on the bench

Lions almost came back and stole it from us...starters went back in and we lost JV to acl

Deebo doesn't need to practice. Just rehab and rest up, get ready for game day. Shoot him up w steroids morning of the game. The meds should last for 3 hrs
