Game Thread: Game #1 Kansas City Chiefs vs NE Patriots 9/7/2017

I expect the RB's to fill Edelman's rather big role.

That's what I think as well. I'm really excited about this group of RB's and think it's going to be a major part of the offense all year.

Any word yet on the inactives for the game? I assume Valentine and then maybe the other guys on the questionable list.

Just read on another site that Malcolm Mitchell has been put on IR and Karras has been activated. WR depth is fading fast!

I didn't expect this but I did expect MM to miss games throughout the season. Which is why I thought Carr should have made this team.

2 Hours to Kickoff..................

Mitchell is out for 6 weeks. He's had a problem with some swelling and irritation. They've decided to sit him and let nature do her own healing. Can't do anything surgical to help so rest is best.

We really get to see Cooks and McDermott shine now.

 

[BigKen]

Here We Go.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Draft Crazy]

Go Patriots!

2:52 and Gillislee gets the TD......................

The offense looks pretty good.

Now let's see how the defense looks.

KC lost RB Spencer Ware for the year with a torn ACL. They may be a bit stiff to start.

 

[BigKen]

First play from scrimmage by KC is a fumble and Patriots recover.

 

[BigKen]

Gronk catches his first TD of 2017.

 

[BigKen]

No catch. 3rd and 6 from the 15......

4th and a foot at the 10.1

Stupid play.......Gillislee into the teeth of the defense.

Should have kicked the FG or run it wide.

 

[BigKen]

Defense does not look good.

Horrible tackling. They have not brought one runner down on first contact

 

[BigKen]

KC has a third and goal from the 7



TD. Smith hits TE Harris between 2 defenders.

 

[NWPATSFAN]

1st half

 

[TP76]

Skippy, you're a dummy...

 

[PatsFan2003]

Wow what a stinker!

 

[TP76]

Well, on paper they looked like world beaters... reality is much, much different.

Can't say I'm impressed with all the additions. They have all these fancy new toys on offense, meanwhile they've neglected the front seven, and it shows.

Team will not contend with the front seven as currently constituted - serious weak sauce.

Well my DVR did the job can't say the Pats did. Flat just flat.
