Every team is done if they lose their QB

They can be upset but I dont think there's another team in the league right now playing near as well as the Ravens are right now. They are a pretty clear favorite as of week 17

Didn’t have a tough schedule ?

Miami , SF , Houston , Cleveland x2, Cincy x2 with Burrows , Jacksonville , Detroit , Seattle, LA Rams

Add in Indy and Pitts who both are solid teams / potential playoffs

Who else did you want them to play ?? Ravens had one of the hardest schedules in the league

Man is this Chiefs team bad right now. This so called good defence absolutely being owned by the Bengals. Better luck next year I guess.

Chiefs D being good is entirely about their pass defense, they are 29th in rushing DVOA. Chiefs will backdoor into the playoffs off that horrible division, but they probably aren't winning a game.

They are still explosive enough on offense (especially if they make some catches and don't drop the ball) that a playoff win is not out of the question. If they play Buffalo that game can go either way.

Nah, they keep starting MVS despite being possibly the worst receiver in the league, they aren't winning anything with these scrubs.

The Chiefs don’t have nearly enough weapons. Mahomes and Kelce can only do so much on their own.

And Kelce is cooked.

Not remotely the same player he was even last year

^^^Wouldn't say Kelce is cooked per se, he was still the leading TE in yards before today. Just that with no one else to care about as a receiving threat teams are upping the double teams on him. Crazy to think JuJu alone was that important to them last year, but a live, reliable WR versus a bunch of #4/5 WRs is a big deal, I guess.

Darnell Washington hasn’t had a lot of offensive production but at 6’7 265lbs, he’s basically an extra offensive lineman with athleticism. He definitely helped Harris into the end zone. I really liked that draft pick.
