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

[Yo Tee]

I legitimately don't care about schedules for the most part unless it has Patriots or Steelers on there. And even then I don't care much. The entire division is probably losing to the Pats and so are the Steelers, am I really rustled if the Chiefs lose to the Pats? I'd say no.

Gonna make these blurby since I need to get out the door.

Rundown of the AFC:

AFCEast:

Pats

If you think any of the other 3 are better, you may need a drug test

AFC South:

Only better roster you could start arguing with is the Titans

Watson has given nobody a reason to think he's an upgrade over savage at this point in time. Adjust accordingly until proven otherwise.

AFC West:

Raiders have an argument- I think it's pretty weak and exaggerated, but I digress and will make this blurby as I need to get out the door

Broncos are starting Siemian- pretty hard to take them seriously as a contender in the AFC right now; just an annoying spoiler team

Chargers; they're the Chargers, always curve down given their total inability to find a roster that can stay healthy; bonus points for 1st year head coach. An argument exists, but it becomes hard to justify when underachievement is the norm from these guys.

AFC North:

Steelers; pretty good argument, they at minimum have the Chiefs number

Ravens are a newp

Ditto with the Bengals and supernewp for the Browns

Pretty spot on analysis I'd say haha. I would argue that I think Denver's defense makes up for Siemian as the starter. I see the Broncos in the WC hunt also. But probably an 8-8, 9-7 team.

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

Pats by at least 2 touchdowns.

It won't discredit the Chiefs though. They still gonna win the West.

Can't do anything when Brady is on the warpath and this has to be his most talented team yet.

The Bengals are pretty much the Chiefs daddies too lol.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

The Bengals are pretty much the Chiefs daddies too lol.

They have played once since 2013 (Reid era) or am I blanking? The Chiefs scored almost every drive- they just did it in comical fashion with field goals. You jerks just about killed kid me and Trent Green, smh.

I don't know about preseason power rankings or anything. Chiefs could go either way with a tough schedule, no Maclin or Ware and possibly a worse turnover margin. They could also have a better defense than last year, though

There is a decent possibility the Ware loss could be a blessing if Hunt becomes the far better back

Think that's possible

 

[Yo Tee]

So the claim to dominance happened 14 years ago? Typical Bengals fan haha

 

[Clayton]

Yeah, it's a possibility though it could swing the other way and Hunt could be Trent Richardson. By my estimation, Hunt and Ware are probably a push.

Also the back half of the Chiefs schedule is pretty soft. If they start something like 3-3 I think they're still on track for a good season.

 

[GNG]

The Patriots will win this one. The Chiefs offense is too feeble.

what do you do?

design work/architecture?

Sr. PM for one of the countries largest commercial roofing companies. Senior just means I'm way older than the other PMs, and that I get all the more complicated projects. Like hospitals.

they are already showing up on ebay. some kids ran off with boxes of them. no one to stop them.

Portnoy was just on the radio, and says they were able to get nearly all of them back.

Exactly. I'm at the age and level where they give you a new title instead of more money.

Didn't mention anything like that, but he did say he doesn't care if people sell them, just not until tomorrow.

lol

yup. i told them more money vs a title. and vacation. more of that too.

im negotiating another raise.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Chiefs very seldom get blown out. I think people are being a bit presumptuous predicting an outright blowout.

This, especially in the 1st game of the season.

I took KC +9.

I'm near max without changing over to an branch manager, or operations manager at a branch, which would require moving somewhere that I don't like.
