Jason Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 I don't feel quite so bad getting dusted by the Chiefs in the pre-season game anymore. Looks like Giselle forgot to deflate Brady's balls before the game though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saphead Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 It's nice to see that old fuck at QB with his old wrinkly ballsack swinging around finally start playing like he's 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleEarl Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 Tragic to see Berry likely tear his Achilles. One of my favorite players to watch in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the first game I have ever seen him play that his arm looked weak and passes were NOT accurate in the same game. Those passes reminded me of Peyton Manning's final season. BTW, the Chiefs seem to have figured out a game plan against the Pats. Rush 4, jam the slot at the line of scrimmage and cover their other slow ass wide receivers. Cooks cant catch every pass. Brady had all day to throw but nobody to throw to. 16 of 36 for 267 yards is mehh. I usually agree about Thursday Night games but these guys were not tired or unprepared since it was their first game of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooky Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 It got off to a great start. On the opening drive, there was a hold on the pats on the Chiefs 1 nullifying a TD and pushing them back 10 yards. Only to see them snap from the 1 again on the next play. There was a flippant report from Michaels a play later that it was due to offsetting penalties, but nothing on TV from the officials. Was that ever clarified or discussed later? And I agree with Jason that it's a good sign that the team that made us look bad in pre-season throttled the pats in Foxboro. Before you start, I'm just saying it's a little encouraging, not that it means we're going to the Super Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Average NFL Score: Home Team 23 Visitors 20 Pats scored 27, despite a few errant passes from Brady. It should have been enough to win the game. The Pats' D giving up 21 points in the 4th quarter is what lost them the game. Could Brady have been sharper? Sure. Was it his fault they lost? Nope.

Bleeds Orange Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 I always love to see the Patriots lose. Second only to a Stealers loss, it's my favorite thing in sports, and I wish we could see it much more often in the months and years to come. It's funny now to go back and read the "Patriots will go undefeated" articles that have run all summer. But while it was nice, I can't help but be reminded of that time that Brady and the Patriots were washed up: https://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/was-this-the-end-for-tom-brady-and-the-new-england-patriots--dynasty--032958660.html http://grantland.com/the-triangle/new-england-patriots-kanas-city-chiefs-tom-brady/ http://www.weei.com/articles/column/uncomfortable-reality-fading-tom-brady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|Bunghole| Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Didn't the Patriots go to the Superbowl in two different seasons after losing their home opener? I thought Brady looked fine. He's never been a super strong arm guy and that 60 yards in the air pass on the money to Cooks was fucking amazing. Patriots need to sort out that defense. They got run all over by Hunt to the tune of almost 9 yards a carry on 17 attempts! And you know your defense needs work when you let Alex frakking Smith rack up that kinda yardage and hang four TD passes on you. Yeesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|High School Harry| Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 https://sports.yahoo.com/john-ross-draws-questionable-listing-174946390.html?src=rss John Ross draws questionable listing after second straight practice Josh Alper ProFootball Talk on NBC Sports• Reports at the time of his injury and earlier this week indicated that Bengals rookie wide receiver John Ross would be out at least a couple of weeks after injuring his knee in last Thursday’s preseason finale, but things seem to be progressing more quickly for the first-round pick. Ross returned to practice on Thursday and got in another limited session on Friday, leading coach Marvin Lewis to say that Ross could play against the Ravens this Sunday. That open door is also illustrated by Ross being listed as questionable on the injury report. If Ross doesn’t get the green light to play this week, his return to practice could provide a foundation for him to make his debut in Week Two against the Texans. It will be a short week leading into a Thursday night game, but Ross may not need too much more time before the team is comfortable putting him in the lineup.
