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

[Biabreakable]

Nice play by Harris. Good drive by the Chiefs to respond.

 

[Plorfu]

Not sure they should have a commercial dedicated to mocking Joe Staley's concussion.

 

[Ojaays]

That sound you hear is the earthquake through Kelcie owners homes.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Pretty sure Hunt will be a late 2nd/early 3rd in my draft on Saturday.  

 

[ConnSKINS26]

I like how the Chiefs are utilizing Tyreek Hill thus far.  Maximizing the effect he has on the defense by lining him up in different spots, faking plays his direction, putting him in motion, etc.  Amazing how much an offensive mind like Reid can get out of a talent like Hill while similarly skilled players have died on the preverbial NFL vine.

I mean, it's about time he hit on a guy with that type of skill-set. Couldn't do too much with Dexter McCluster, or DeAnthony Thomas. Feel like there was someone else too. He's clearly wanted this type of weapon since he got to the Chiefs

Pat have schemed to take Kelce out of the game...hence hill and hunt looking good.  Kelce might have a quiet night.

 

[The Jacket]

0.33 seconds LOL.

How in God's name are defenses supposed to compete in this league at this point. 

 

[GregR]

Congrats to those starting Demetrius Harris

Started him in my 72-team dynasty contract league.

 

[ffldrew]

KC going to get carved up if they don't  start finding a way to get some hits on Brady

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

There's the underneath stuff with Cooks. He's not just a deep guy.

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

Kind of early to say he's been taken out of the game, but you're definitely right about the game opening up for other Chiefs because of the focus on Kelce.

 

[BINGBING]

Really MFL...really...REALLY???

 

[Grigs Allmoon]

So deep at WR, Al?

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Hogan on the board. Still without a reception. 

 

[Mister CIA]

I get the feeling Cooks is going to have a spectacular season.

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

Agree, is the Pats O-line rated highly? Thought they were middling, but they are giving Brady all day.

 

[ConnSKINS26]

MFL down for everyone? Great timing jeez

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

Good LB pickup by Johnson on Burkhead.

 

[JIMGET]

Hogan on the board. Still without a reception. 

peters shadowing hogan.

NOT good for hogan

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

NICE stiff-arm by White. Guy's a beast.

 

[[icon]]

That's stiff arm by white tho.... 

 

[SoBeDad]

Does NE miss Blount already?

My opponent started him. Lost Evans because hurricane.  

i mean, boo hurricane, but nice downgrade. 

 

[ffldrew]

seem to be missing Blount on these short yardage plays

They need to quit dickin around and just feature White.

Yeah...I started him cause I  lost evans sans hurrican...at least I didnt lose landry and ajayi too...oh wait.

Peters only plays one side

 

[Franknbeans]

they need to do a split screen with cheerleaders during commercials

Peters only plays one side

he's been moving with hogan, but staying outside

0 White shares, but he looks good running so far.

Ouch. I lost Parker at Flex so had to go with Hunt, who I wanted to wait & see on. 

 

[Biabreakable]

There's the underneastuff with Cooks. He's not just a deep guy.

Yep.

It is going to take several players to fill Edelmans role in the offense. We saw Amendola, but I think we already know he can't handle that much volume. Cooks on the drag route, then Hogan on the end around.

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

Yep. Gillislee seems to be the guy best suited for the power game, but given the constant rotation the Pats use depending on down and distance, wonder if Gillislee gets the kind of volume to get him going in that role. Sometimes power backs need to pound away and get better as the game goes on as the D wears down. Not sure Gillislee gets that chance in this offense.

 

[The Jacket]

I mean the standards are low vs Brady. 1 TD, 1 stop and 1 FG is alright. It all comes down to KC's offense, just the way the NFL wants it. Gonna take 35+ to win so start here and get the lead and go from there. 

 

[trader jake]

Process wise, in the 1st quarter is there a reason to go for it on 4th and 1 up 7-0 vs kicking the FG a bit later tied 7-7?

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

they need to do a split screen with cheerleaders during commercials

Best idea of the whole season so far.

 

[opensourcebeer]

Dion Lewis will be the most dropped player week 1.

 

[renesauz]

they need to do a split screen with cheerleaders during commercials

IT would certainly help keep my eyes on the screen!

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

Dion Lewis will be the most dropped player week 1.

Until he becomes a featured back against a different kind of D next week, goes off, and becomes the waiver wire darling going into Week 3.

Seen it happen so many times with these Pats' backs.

If I'm Bill, I don't think I'd kick many FGs at all to be honest. 

 

[Buffaloes]

is that a foghorn or the queefs' mascot howling on 3rd down?

White is a good player. He was a guy who forced a time share with Melvin Gordon and (less impressively) Montee Ball in Wisconsin. 1st and 2nd round picks by the NFL respectively.

Often overlooked and marginalized, but obviously White has some abilities to send some very good RB to the bench.

I recall a few games owning Blount last year where he was something like 10/17/1 through 2.5 quarters, but ended up with 20 carries and a nice fantasy statline. Maybe Gill owners can consistently get the same bump late in games the pats are winning.

 

[oswizzle]

Defense

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Andy's clever (terrible) play calling haunts him that time.

i don't mind trick plays on 1st down, but a trick play to your TE3 seems misguided. 

 

[SameSongNDance]

Chung following Kelce around like he owes him money.

 

[need2know]

Mahomes would have converted there

 

[Shutout]

Until he becomes a featured back against a different kind of D next week, goes off, and becomes the waiver wire darling going into Week 3.

Yeah, only thing this tells us is who NOT to start next week.

 

[Old Smiley]

It was time for that stop.

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

Yeah, only thing this tells us is who NOT to start next week.

Or does it? Can totally see BB trot Dion out there a lot in the 1st quarter of next game just because it's different from what they did the week prior.
