I'm pretty excited for tonight's game. KC travels to New England in a match-up of two excellent football teams. I think there there are some interesting match-ups in this game.

KC has a very good secondary w/guys like Berry and Paters and NE has Gronk and Cooks. It's a damn shame Eddleman got hurt, but I think Hogan is pretty good, too.

The NE OL is going to be facing a KC line that can rush the passer. If Justin Houston is healthy, watch out. The dude is a complete beast.

NE has a good secondary and it will be interesting to see if they can shut down Kelce and Hill.

I'm ready for some football!

I haven't seen any KC games this preseason, but based on late last year, I'm not sure anyone can completely shut down Hill. It should be a good game.

Yeah, Hill is very electric. I think the Pats win this, but KC is a legit team IMO

Horrible start for KC.

Eric Berry is unreal!

I wanted us to draft him. Can't remember the year but I wanted him

I started Gilislee on my fantasy football team!!!

Go Kareem Hunt! Toledo!

After the fumble, Hunt is showing some skills. No doubt about it.

I can only dream that one day our offense will run as smooth as one of these two teams.

I mentioned Justin Houston in my OP. The dude is amazing. Watch how he uses perfect outside/in technique, sheds the blocker, and makes the tackle while maintaining outside containment. Then, he rushes the passer w/a burst of speed. Then, he drops in coverage and breaks up a 3rd down pass.

Dude is a freak!

Bademosi.

Great special team's dude.

He is great. He is also the highest paid special teams player in the league (not saying that is right or wrong, just a fact).

Who is this Alex Smith?

Pride of Willoughby South High School!

I have always thought that Alex Smith was underrated and disrespected.

Not saying he is great. I am saying he is way better than most think.

I was mainly talking about him throwing downfield.

This is a great game.

Brady is looking suspect as heck to me.. He's been more inaccurate that accurate this 2nd half. I didn't get to see the 1st half.

He can throw the downfield pass. He does not have a weak arm despite the viewpoints of dummies. He is just very careful w/the ball. He's vastly underrated.

He just does not throw it downfield often, so it is hard to know if he can.

I agree that he doesn't throw it deep often. I disagree on whether we know he can. I have seen him do it on many occasions, just like tonight.

I really feel for the guy. He is so smart. A true game manager and no, that is not an insult. He wins. And he is always being disrespected.

Bottom line: He wins games!

Looks like Eric Berry's Achilles is toast.

Moral of the story tonight.. Injuries happen.

Drop button is getting hit hard tonight in fantasy leagues on New Englands defense.

Damn............Berry is hurt again. Probably an Achilles.

KC is looking good!

One of my favorite fun facts:

Bill Belichick has never had a right footed punter with the Patriots.

John Dorsey -- currently unemployed.

KC's O-line played lights out tonight...wow and that rookie RB Hunt? damn KC.

KC is a legit team to contend for a title IMO. They've improved their playmaking ability on offense, which was sorely missing. They're no longer a defensive team ... they're both

Watched some of the NE/KC game. Nice to see NE loss lol...

We do have common ground on this one.

Letting go of Schwartz made no sense on any level.

Mack? I think there were many variables in play there. Gipson? I wanted him back; think we should have resigned him. Schwartz? The only thing that makes any sense is that the new FO was trying to send some type of message to the league about using them to drive the price up. I guess on a long-term outlook type of decision, this could help down the road. But losing Schwartz is the #1 mistake of this FO to date, IMO.

Pryor is minor. His presence on this team makes no difference at all. That's just fodder to find make believe reasons to get mad at the team. But Schwartz was a true loss. We'd probably be neck and neck with Cowboys for best OL in the league if we still had Schwartz (and assuming we made the other signings this year).

Were there really people predicting that?

I've heard many people refuting that over the past few weeks/months, but never actually heard someone say they could go undefeated. Brady is the GOAT but he's a year older, Edleman is out all year, Gronk is still fragile, repeating is hard and we've only seen one 16-0 team, ever. And that was 10 years ago, right?

All I'm saying, I'd seriously question a person's intelligence if they realistically predicted the Pats to go 16-0 this season. They may still win the Super Bowl, but that's the same as winning 16 straight after a Super Bowl season.

I had no idea that the game was on and am pissed off I missed it. Hot damn!
