Ravens Defensive Stars Impressed with the Chiefs

Arguably the Baltimore Ravens two best defensive players, Terrell Suggs and Ray Lewis (with a nod to Ed Reed), came away impressed with the effort and performance of the Kansas City Chiefs.
Sounds like last year, right?
Suggs said the Chiefs took advantage of all opportunities, LB Jarrett Johnson was down on the defense for giving up 24 points (even though it was really 17) and Lewis said he knew it would be a tough battle.
Here are a few quotes:
Terrell Suggs
"Hats off to the Kansas City Chiefs. They showed up to play and they competed and took advantage of every play that they made. They blocked a punt for a touchdown and took an interception down to the six or the five.
"And they really competed. You gotta take your hat off to them."
Jarrett Johnson
"We won a ball game. You always gotta be happy with that but we got a lot we have to work on. We gave up, what, 24 points? We always strive for perfection and we want to dominate them."
Ray Lewis
"We knew Kansas City wasn't going to lay down. We gave them some early turnovers and things to keep them in the game. Bottom line is, the way we came out and responded offensively and defensively, I thought we did a heck of a job coming back."

Whatever
I want to see how they deal with us in the playoffs when they don’t have Legget to throw on, and our starting qb is healthy.

Yes
And after we pick up some better FA O-linemen…
And when our LB’s cover better…
And when we convert more 3rd downs…
And…
The future is ours KC Chiefs fans!!!!!

I'd take Cassel over Croyle
But I doubt Cassel would had done much better, if at all.

It sounds like
when the other team beat the Bad News Bears. “Who do we appreciate…”

Well what did you think the Ravens would say
They suck? We went through them like a hot knife through butter? Of course they’ll tell you positive PR jargon on the record.

Sounds to me like these
Guys are using the win over the chiefs as a way to make themselves look better publicly…… Such douche bags IMO
How the hell did that happen? I am Trailblazer fan to the core but I love me some OKC THunder!!! Must be the Hometown pride I feel.
I'll Say it now so you guys can know I'm a true follower: "In Pioli I Trust"
Go Chiefs!!!!!

Non-Class
Anyone want to tell me why in the world of the NFL we are running up the score? 10 seconds left…game in hand…VERY unsportsmanlike to take the ball in for another score. Go back to the college ranks if you want to run up the score on inexperienced teams. I lost a LOT of respect for the Ravens after this game.

Check the Vegas line.
Vegas had the point spread at 13.5. They won by 14. Don’t think that’s a coincidence.

Did you read the previous post on their reasoning for going for the TD?
It was very reasonable. There was no fault in their play. They were just the better team. We should be happy to get any kind of compliment for giving up 500 yards…

Whats wrong with taking a compliment as a compliment?
It may have come off as insincere or a PR stunt to some here. I wonder how the Chiefs players felt when hearing Suggs and Lewis say publicly, “These guys came to play, didn’t lay down and showed some heart while doing it”.

I agree with The Ravens
After the 1st quarter, I thought it would be 35-7 or something. We did compete and came to play. I can root for a team who plays hard.
A new GM, a new coach, a new year. A new sense of hope and pride.

Maybe I'm used to
“Hoodie” Belichick speak, or maybe I’m just spoiled from living up here near foxboro, but when the Pats win they never say stuff like this.
You hear “we did some good things today, we’re happy to get the win, anytime you can get a win in this league, you take it”
and that’s it. Nothing personal about how they weren’t expecting that from the other team, or about how the other team showed up, or how they were surprised that the other team put up such a fight.
They take the win… then get the hell out of dodge. You never hear the other team mentioned. If they lose, then Yeah, you may hear them say so-and-so beat the crap out of us, hats off to them.
I don’t get this by the Ravens. What have they won? Nothing. And even if they did win something, which they haven’t, that doesn’t give them the green light to do this.
Just my two cents.

Agreed
They had NO reason to say anything nice about us yet they did.
THE Chiefs Earned some respect in Baltimore now on to the rest of the NFL :)

Respect? Or Flattery?
Careful about the latter. It costs someone nothing to blow smoke up your a$$.
Respect in this league only comes from winning.

Well you wont hear anything like that after this next weekend
bring on the Raiders. There is no love lost between us.
And besides, in a division tie break system, points do factor in so if was us 4th and goal, i dont care if it was safer play, we are going for six.
Now i must admit there is a little part of me that wants to stick six up their ass even though the Raiders have no chance to be playoff bound but HEY, ITS RAIDERS WEEK. (sorry for the caps, cant contain myself)

Thats what I want the Chiefs to win BY in Raiders week.
Kudos Stenerud

the above quotes don’t show any signs of being “impressed” by the chiefs at all.
suggs takes his hat off to you for capitalizing on our mistakes. johson says he’s mad we gave up 24 and lewis said you didn’t lay down. heck, i don’t lay down at work either but that’s not impressive.
just deciphering the written text ; )
