Game Thread: Seahawks @ Chiefs 8 PM Friday on NFLN

[Fountain City Blues]

Anything in particular you want to see this week?

 

[MHSL82]

No injuries.

Few injuries, if any.

Few injuries to non-starters, if any.

Few injuries to non-QBs, if any.

Few injuries to non-Smith QBs, if any.

One deep pass completed from Smith.

One sack from Dee Ford.

One INT from a Roethlisberger pass.

A well executed vanilla offense win utilizing depth from WRs, TEs, and defense.

Fewest QB hits possible and zero sacks or turnovers.

A longish FG and a 2-pt conversion.

Oh, and no injuries.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Fanaika is just awful. He looks like McGlynn at RT. No way I want to ever see that guy again. He looks exactly how he looked in Arizona.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Defense looks great for the most part. Much tighter, and much messier.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Hammond still can't return punts. He has no legit spot on the roster.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Starting O-line looks much worse tonight.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Not a great impression by LDT vs the 1's. Then again, Fulton may have been a bit worse last week. Eek.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Smith to Maclin in full force so far tonight. Touchdown.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Ford took a big shot to the shoulder area from I could tell. Hope he is ok. Has looked solid for the most part out there.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Ugly pick.

 

[Black Adam]

me and my wife watched on NFL network. you're right. keep this guy FAR fron PR duties...

 

[Black Adam]

Smith to Maclin in full force so far tonight. Touchdown.

so let's see. gonna have Maclin spread the field, Kelce for the 10-20 yard jobs, and JC out of the backfield. hoping one of the other wide-outs steps it up too. nice having options out there...

 

[Black Adam]

Starting O-line looks much worse tonight.

without Fisher with that high ankle sprain. and he was just starting to look good. hoping he isn't out for too long. know Andy's trying to mix and match out there, but you are correct. tonight's combo didn't look all that good...

 

[Black Adam]

Ford took a big shot to the shoulder area from I could tell. Hope he is ok. Has looked solid for the most part out there.

yeah he took a pretty vicious hit, but he DID leave under his own power. pretty sure he'll be ok...

btw, Chase Daniel looked good for the second week in a row....

Yeah, apparently Allbright is out and about claiming the Chiefs are in on Mathis. Wouldn't be surprised if LDT's performance just forced their hand. They might not want him to even get on the plane to Seattle.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Positives for the OL?

Fanaika is not starting. And honestly, I wouldn't exactly be upset to see him cut if it were just a "best 53" evaluation.

Fisher and Allen are likely back week 1 from every report I have seen.

After that, there is Grubbs being Grubbs.

Morse looks like a rookie still- which is fine for now. I'll have a stronger opinion of him after next week. Kush just doesn't have the goods if this is all he has shown after this long into the system.

I still think the OL has improved by a decent bit, but that's kind of a "who's the taller midget" argument until proven otherwise. Very interested to see what Fisher does- was pleasantly surprised vs the Cardinals, and I'm really bummed out I couldn't get another look at the guy. LDT didn't exactly inspire confidence vs the 1's.

Right guard is a HUGE concern. Fulton still looks weak- that's not a preseason thing, that's an OL getting bullied and causing all sorts of problems when trying to run the ball. That's not getting fixed week 1. Mathis may or may not be here as a result. I kind of doubt it, but it wouldn't blow me away either at this point.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

We'll see if this is legit. If so, we should find out relatively quickly with how close it is to the real season.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Well then.

Allbright has spent the whole day apologizing on Twitter for his report about the Chiefs and Mathis. Doesn't mean they won't sign him but at least Mathis has said his agent hasn't told him anything about the chiefs being interested.
