GAME 1 Has Arrived: The New England Patriots Vs. The Kansas City Chiefs (2 Viewers)

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

On that replay of the TD, looked like Smith could have made that throw to the receiver cutting across to the left side of the field. But given the difficulty he has had forcing the ball into tight spots, such a great move to launch it downfield and put it in a spot for Hunt to make a play.

Respected Smith when he was on the 49ers (thought he got a raw deal after a stellar year then getting benched for Kaep). Hate the Chiefs, but gotta respect the playcaller.

 

[TheCommish]

6.03 - for sure. 

7th round here

 

[ponchsox]

6.05 for me. for sure. 

5th and 7th in my two shares

 

[ConnSKINS26]

Can't believe Bills fans who've put up with Bills ownership are actually in here asking why it's important to the Patriots' success that Kraft is a good owner. 

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

STUFFED

 

[ffldrew]

Did not get it

 

[The Frankman]

Belicheat why.

 

[need2know]

Wow chiefs stood that up 

 

[Bigboy10182000]

Wow. KC's D coming up big there 

 

[Workhorse]

Playcalling for the Pats has been mystifying.  Ultra conservative on key plays. Bizarre.

 

[Insein]

Hmm

 

[oswizzle]

Blount was good at these short yardage gains

 

[Joe Summer]

Belichick should have challenged the spot of the 3rd down play. Worst case scenario is that they move it a few inches and he still doesn't lose a timeout.

 

[Grigs Allmoon]

Wow, what a game this has shaped up to be. Love it on opening night! 

 

[madviking10]

Can the Chiefs do it??? 

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Only thing I hate is that Hunt may have just become a late 1st round pick in my league Saturday. 40 points already & they count against week 1. If I'm at 12 and he's there, I wouldn't be able to pass on him. 

 

[hagmania]

Gillislee not running 4th & Inches seems strange.

 

[Workhorse]

Andy Reid has far outcoached Belichick tonight.

NOt exactly a rules savant, are you?

(ONly if moved to a first does NE save a timeout)

Washed up, it was bound to happen.

That's a weird league.

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

I can't get greedy, but Hill has to hold onto that ball if he gets his hands on it.

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

Can the Chiefs do it??? 

Doubtful

Late?  That train has left the station.

 

[need2know]

There's that bs play again.  Kelce ran away that time

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

That is indeed a HUGE stop by McCourty. 

 

[The Jacket]

Andy Reid has far outcoached Belichick tonight.

This is pretty standard for the Chiefs. Only most games, the opposing QB greatly outplays Smith and people just pile on Reid.

The guy's a football genius honestly. Look at KC before and after him. 

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

No, should punt it.

 

[ffldrew]

There's that bs play again.  Kelce ran away that time

Have to throw it beyond the sticks

 

[Workhorse]

I can't get greedy, but Hill has to hold onto that ball if he gets his hands on it.

That was a bad pass. He was lucky Hill didn't get hurt there.

 

[oddsbodkins]

Ah, that moment when Reid tries to be the smartest man in the room. Run the ball.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Last time that worked George Halas decided to take up coaching football.

 

[rockaction]

Should have gone for it.  

 

[The Jacket]

Seeing a 320lb OL at FB never gets old. 

 

[NutterButter]

mccourtey is a beast

 

[Grigs Allmoon]

That was one of the weakest attempts at drawing the D offside I've seen in a long while. WAY too much unusual action.

 

[need2know]

Amendola out 

 

[Workhorse]

Pats down to three WRs.  Yikes.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Pats are going to have guys playing both ways before this is over.

 

[kylechoffman]

Time to hit cooks for a long td.

 

[modogg]

great, we really need Michaels trying to diagnose concussions on replays. that is responsoble

 

[mambomambo]

Where is Gronk?

 

[The Frankman]

Rotating 4 RBs... so odd.

 

[oswizzle]

Brady missing everyone 

 

[bostonfred]

Holy crap, Edelman, amendola with a concussion, Allen playing terribly, Hogan getting nothing, Hightower hurt - yikes

 

[The Jacket]

Amendola out 

Who had 3 quarters?

Damn, I was off by 5 minutes. 

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Amendola in concussion protocol man dude is total glass

 

[NutterButter]

doesn't matter.   as long as brady is playing, they'll win.

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

Who called out earlier that NE's WRs whole game is running with one arm out, one arm on the defender's shoulders, then crying for a flag?

So spot on.

 

[oswizzle]

yikes
