This level of thinking also has plagued Dallas for years. Its the NFL; ever game matters. It's not the end of the world but this loss matters.

It certainly matters in terms of implications on where they likely meet in the playoffs.

Went back and watched a good chunk of the game again.

Definitely bullish on Baltimore going forward. First half especially you could see where the gameplan was to run the ball and have Lamar get the ball out early on passing downs.

I'm pretty sure that was due to the inexperienced line (first game reps for those 5 as Stanley/Linderbaum did not play in the preseason) as well as KC's success sending Cover 0 in the AFCC.

I really wonder if getting the starters some preseason snaps may be the better call as opposed to them coming in cold against the fucking Chiefs of all teams.

Regardless, the offensive ceiling is high with Likely breaking out and Henry being a force. The defense held Mahomes to 1 TD, stuffed Kelce, and really only were beaten by Rice being schemed on linebackers.

I have a feeling KC/Baltimore is going to happen again this season... and am looking forward to what both teams look like as they figure out their new personnel.

I honestly hope they don’t play in the playoffs. Can you imagine the game Henry could have in a freeze out game like KC/Miami?

I mean, the Chiefs lost their opener last season. Get better, figure out good playoff plans and peak at the right time. There's only one team that has won the last two Superbowls, watch what they do and forget what Dallas is doing it matters not in the least.

I Know the O-Line coach passed away suddenly but O-line is gonna be a major concern going forward.

Eh... Baltimore line always ends up being ok.

As long as Linderbaum is healthy, they will be fine.

Last night, despite being the first time playing together, they only gave up 1 sack... and Baltimore ran for 185 yards.

Mahomes was pressured at a higher rate than Lamar.

That long run by Lamar in the 4th was super fast, and I think that the holding call was total BS.
Will be interested in the All 22 of that play because what the broadcast showed wasn't a hold at all

At least we all know that if the world goes super woke and KC has to change their team name we can look forward to the Kansas City Zebras.

Oh I know
I'm a Denver fan and the games haven't been called consistently the last 5 years IMO

They are talented enough without needing zebra help

I like Favre
Probably more like 20-30 concussions, you play enough snaps you will rack them up.
