Week 5: Baltimore Ravens (3-1) @ Kansas City Chiefs (1-3)

[mestevo]

Probably another really ugly game that the point differential doesn't begin to tell the story. 6 turnovers against the Chargers and only lose by 17?

Oakland with a bye this week, so don't even get to look forward to watching them flounder as consolation, blah.

I don't really know what the Ravens are trying to do on defense. But Flacco, Torrey Smith and Ray Rice are impressing me.

I think Bowe or Charles could have a good game for KC.

Don't want to bash the Chiefs since I do think they have some potential on that team but even if we ignore "Like, really good." Your last sentence makes absolutely no sense.

You see this as a down point for them? They are 1-3 and have lost their 3 games by a combined score of 112-61. They'd have to lose by 50 for this to overshadow the "down points" they've already had.

I'm not sure how a team favored by 6 on the road could "pull off an upset" and I don't know what else needs to be exposed.

I'm guessing I just missed the sarcasm here?

For some reason I think Baldwin is going to have a decent game.

I think his entire post was as facetious as the line you discarded.

He's talking about the infamous thread by JRitch12, K.C. Chiefs are good. Really Good.

Guy has the physical tools, still green. But yeah he could still be a danger up against the confusing Baltimore D.

Man I hope so (my apologies if he was). If he had just left it at that one line I would've seen it but it was the other details that threw me for a loop, lol.

Yeah, I have a feeling Bowe will be more of a red zone issue with Reed shading to help his way more and Webb probably checking him. Smith still gets turned around and Williams... well, you know. Plus the D goes through it's soft zone phases of every game where coverage will probably be blanketed toward Bowe. With no Boss or McClutchen (and Moaki not doing much this year) I think it's either Charles out of the backfield (better be paying attention to him too) or Baldwin. If he can keep from dropping passes I think he'll get at least 5. The Ravens pass rush leaves a lot to be desired so even Cassel will be able to go through his projections at times.
