For sure they deserve some credit I'm just saying I'm not surprised that Baltimore is running them over.

Chiefs run game wasn't the problem today. No team is going to run on the Ravens when you can't do anything in the passing game.

Not many are surprised as the Chiefs aren't ready yet to beat the big dogs but major improvement has been made. I'm glad that teams like the Chiefs and Raiders raised their games this year and didn't make it easy for the Bolts. I don't know about other fans but I don't like my team being in a joke of a division which is why I never give NFC west teams any credit. I'd rather the AFC west be a legit division and don't miss the days when a Raiders vs Chiefs game was a toilet bowl.

Edit: Who was that person that laughed at me for calling the Ravens an elite team a few days ago? They looked pretty elite today as that's a solid team from top to bottom.

For sure, this is basically what happened to the Jets when played the Ravens in week 1.

Something about his ex-gf's tape she made with Ray J I believe his name was...and stuff about USC haha. I don't blame the coach for sticking up for his player especially in a playoff game but it just came out of nowhere. Whatever, I had a good laugh about it and I saw NFL Films camera was nearby and I think they taped it.

Haha that's awesome, that's such a Payton move. He's definitely cocky but I heart that guy. Win or loss I would've had a good time there, I love that stadium and the atmosphere in there, its amazing how far Seattle fans have come in the last decade in terms of home field advantage. Was actually looking at tickets during the week, until I realized my passport just expired last month. Horsepoo. That's awesome you were there, I'm sure that was a pretty unforgetable experience.

Take a look at the competition during that run. Some of the worst teams in the league can inflate any teams numbers and the Chiefs will always look good if their opponents can't stop the run. Elite teams can make average teams look bad. Remember the Raiders/Steelers game? Steelers totally stopped the run and crushed the Silver & Black. Raiders/Chiefs still have a ways to go before they can hang with the elite teams.

Great win! My heart was pounding in the 1st quarter when it looked like Charles was unstoppable, but then the D stepped up as it has before and made some huge plays. Flacco looked solid, but the O-line needs to work on protection... especially with the blitz happy Steelers next week. Can't wait until Saturday!

[J pold]

I can't decide who I want to route for.

Packers probably, yeah Packers.

[Sainters7]

^^^
Was just having the same convo, I like both these teams. I'm going Eagles jst because I'm all over Vick's wagon this year, but if the Pack wins I'm fine with that. I'm sure they've got a much better shot at knocking out the Falcons next week than the Seahawks do. All I care about now is seeing the dirty birds go down in flames. If they win it the year after we do I think I'll puke a little.

[OILFAN #81]

Good luck to both teams.

I hope it is a high scoring game.

Like others, I don't hate either team so I don't care who wins. Probably slightly going for GB though.

[GirlySports]

if the eagles feed the pack d with a steady diet of running and keep aaron rodgers off the field, they should be okay.

but its more likely that andy reid will throw it 40 times and run it 12-15 times, cause that's how he do.

right rubecube?

[Sainters7]

Vick gets crushed already, man that OL sucks. They remind me a lot of the Saints actually, minus the style of QB play of course.

Yep. It already looks like Andy's brought his "special" brand of playcalling.

[rubecube]

Wow. Big break there.

[Beerfest]

Packers!!!

Unfortunate play there..

[Beerfest]

Good, no damage done.

[OILFAN #81]

Wow, Packers don't lose anything from the mistake. Missed FG.

[rubecube]

Yep...this is how it starts. Sigh.
