I’ll be honest, I’m a little concerned about the Chiefs again.
It’s early in the season, teams are figuring things out, but they are one of the teams that does play starters in the preseason and through two games, what do we have?
We have a, if Isaiah likely comes down with that touchdown, he was inches away from it.
The Ravens are going for two in the win in this game.
They got pretty lucky to win.
I, they got a, a scoop and score fumble return for a touchdown and still should have lost at home to the Bengals who did not look good against the Patriots in week one.
And you just, like you said this, this is not the high flying Chiefs offense that we expected really like homes throws for 151.
They were fine like they, they were bad in any way, but this isn’t Mahomes thrown for 340 or anything like that.
This was dude kind of a quiet day for Patrick Mahomes.
Travis Kelsey is the age curve hit like we have to wonder about this.
I’m a little concerned about the Chiefs II, I think they’re gonna be fine and they’re two and 02 and 02 and, oh, and it makes a big difference.
You’re not the Ravens trying to figure this stuff out at O and two.
But just the way these first two games have gone at home again, good, good opponents.
So it’s not the worst thing in the world, but they’re not exactly clicking on all cylinders.
Maybe that comes later in the year and this G team is just gonna go on to dominate, but it’s not happening yet and they could very, very easily be owed to right now.
They could.
But then the other side of it is, I know that we just talked about how Baltimore could be panicking.
They have a win over Baltimore and the win over the Bengals.
And this is why this, the schedule game, this is why like every year in the fall or in the spring when we sit down and say, OK, let’s look at it.
Well, this is gonna be an easy win.
This is gonna be like, we don’t know, like, because right now the Ravens don’t look, take it a little good and the, the Bengals have been out of whack, right.
Like, so we don’t know if these teams are gonna be good or not, but we do know that if you start the season two and o with wins over the Ravens and the Bengals, you get the Falcons next uh on Sunday night football, then the Chargers, the Saints, like they’ve got some winnable games through this process.
