Thursday Night Football: Chiefs @ Patriots Thursday Night to Kickoff Season

[cdumler7]

Not gonna last long with Hill I don't think. There's also just that Kelce is not going to be consistently coverable by lesser defenses.

Not saying he won't have some decent stats this year. My thought was though that I saw him being picked as the #1 TE and very early in a lot of fantasy drafts. I don't think he will bring that type of production that some are thinking. Right now in the NFL yes I would actually rate him as the #1 TE (not just fantasy wise but actual ability on the field). If Hunt continues to produce at a high level and Hill continues to be explosive then yeah maybe Kelce finally gets some breathing room from the constant double teams. Just have to see.

Of course we expect them to win. Don't you expect the Raiders to win? It's calling holding them to a standard. We expected them to win, and they failed us.

Of course I thought my team would win. I was thinking by 10 to be honest. That didn't happen and I can deal with it.

I surely wasn't dumb enough to pick them in any of my eliminator pools with 14 other games going on that were MUCH better choices. I may give you an ounce of reprieve if you can pick your team more than just once. If you're in a mens pool where you can only use a team once not so much. I think 20 years of Raider ineptness has clouded your judgement on picking winners.

So you would have taken the Jags over the Texans?

Bullshit

Before I would've used my NE pick in an eliminator pool week 1. Like a majority of others I took Buffalo against the hapless Jets.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Love my triple option plays in the NFL, tbh. Georgia Tech can't have all the fun to themselves.

 

[Clayton]

So you would have taken the Jags over the Texans?

Bullshit

I had a couple of people actually take the Texans. I'm sure almost no one picked the Jags.

Most people did take the Bills, Steelers or Falcons

The first week a bad defense and the last week a bad defense. Whatever the fuck happened in between there does not matter

Sure it does. What happened in between there got them to the Super Bowl. So, because we lost the Super Bowl we are a bad, playoff missing team like the Browns and Packers?

 

[Dude]

It was not such a bad defense. TBH Pats did not execute on OFFENSE, in key situations,
even though racking up tons of yards. Ghost errors did not help. You could see this one was going down to the wire since the first Q. D kept it close.

The thing is the front 7 never got better, so people knew a performance like this was always possible. PPG handwaving or not.

The Super Bowl loser is remembered just the same as all the other 30 teams but if coming in second makes ya feel better all is good

The Pats D allowed the Eagles to score on 8 of 10 drives. 1 stop being a tip drill INT. That's high school level bad.

The pats scored over thirty points. That should get a win. I would put it on the defense

Lol, you belong on third base moose.

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in a hand off way

Here's a good one for the newbies ...

It just means you aren’t champions this year, just like the Browns. And Packers

 

[cheerupcharlie]

But we will be remembered for playing in the Super Bowl. Not a lousy team like the Browns and Packers. When people ask “Who was in SuperBowl 52?” The Patriots will be mentioned. When they ask which teams sucked that year, Browns and Packers will be mentioned. Big difference.
