Damn right it’s on! Whew, what a frickin’ ride to get to this point. I just want to thank all the hardcore commenters that kept this thingy of ours afloat when there was so little sports going on that we resorted to Korean baseball and made the best of it. Things aren’t normal-far from it, but a veil of normalcy in the form of the return of NFL football has dropped on our collective heads. I’ll take it. I’ll take it and run with it, thankyouverymuch.
I’m curious, perhaps like many of you, about how the crowds will look/sound, the response to kneeling, coaches interactions with refs, the quality of play, how Covid will be managed, and a hundred other things. Let’s tackle all that shit down below but for now we need to go…TO THE GAME!
Texans vs. Chiefs:
-the spread is 9.5/10 which seems about right (because Vegas does what it does). The game script to me looks like the Chiefs getting on all their horses early and Watson and Co. struggling to keep up. I think he’s got a shot at it because KC’s secondary is not quite the same unit that came together at the halfway point of the season.
-Both David Johnson (play him while he’s upright) and Edwards-Hilaire should get plenty of touches in the form of catches out of the backfield. The rookie will get some because coach Reid is a master of putting his rb’s in space and DJ will do the same because even a coach like Bill O’Brien knows that the Chiefs gives up tons of yards (100 catches for 951) to them guys wandering out from behind the qb.
-what of the absence of Hopkins? What does it really mean for the Texans O? Well, in the two games they played vs. one another last year Hopkins came up with 12 first downs. That’s huge for a team. Right now Cooks is a game-timer and I would think the medical staff wouldn’t take the chance. What’s left? There’s Fuller, Cobbs and Kenny “He’s still in the league?” Stills-not much to look at. They’ll put it together as a unit over the course of the season but tonight is not the night.
-Players props, you say? Take the over on everything regarding Kelce. Due to injury he’ll be defended by Lonnie Johnson Jr, the owner of the very worst PFF score for a cb with 30. No one else was under 40.
As I always say, if you’re new to the site please say hello-we have a shit-ton of fun here on game days. If you happen to already have an account and haven’t said ‘boo’ in a while, we’d love to see your smiling text. Have at it, one and all. We’re back and I’m real fucking happy.
And our first review of the season.
No TD.
Hate to be so controversial, but I think this Mahomes might be pretty good.
I still say he should have moved to wide receiver.
Okay, that’s fucking funny.
INDEED
He’s no Mitch Kissing Titties.
Let’s do a pool for the first time in the game BBQ sauce appears on Andy’s shield.
Who had “pregame” ?
My pizza and wings came with boneless wings by accident. As a gentleman notified his city council a few weeks back, these are not wings, they are trash. I will still eat them.
they are trash, I will still eat them
The raccoon is strong in this one.
yeah, but bad FITBAW is still soooooo much better than…real life
I like my balls flaring out too Cris
Especially on a hot and muggy day
And you’re going to enjoy IT!
Stadium looks like the last three minutes of the usual Thursday night AFC South matchup.
“Why don’t you return my calls?”
-T.C.
Andy Reid is an odd choice for the remake of Flashdance.
There it is. Pash rush.
They’re in KC. Saying “they have to wear masks except when they’re eating or drinking” is functionally the same as “no one has to wear masks”.

I demand Cris wears a dashiki for the 2nd half
I demand he wear a ball gag!

“i’m going to do my job tonight”
Oh, ruin the experience?
Fuck you Cris
With the pandemic still ongoing, this season’s going to be unlike anything we’ve ever seen before. I mean, Kevin White might finally catch something.
He was a first round pick you know
-J. Bettis
Detroit, MI
Travis Tritt is ready.
Players taking ownership, that’s the key. Empowering. A positive start, at least.
Are you TRYING to kill Jerry Richardson?
ooooh, musta been mah subsconscious
I stand for the anthem, right hand over my heart, left hand furiously masturbating.
I’ve never made it the whole song.
Nationalistic bukakke is fucking great.
There it is.
That left hand needs some love
My dog never gets past ‘rocket’s red glare’.
This is the kind of red rocket joke we need in these time of turmoil. Plastic cone.
Me: Why would people boo this?
My Son: Well, it is Missouri
I heard some boos for the KC fans. Mahomes leaving!

I hope every single player kneels
“JJ suports the trups!”
Andy Reid’s splatter guard has seen some shit.
-DFO’s German contingent perks up
Thoughts and prayers
“Hummpf.”

No way in hell this woman was born within 500 miles of Chicago
By past metrics, the amount of fans at this game would be an exceptional turnout for the Chargers.
I figured they would all kneel. Hell, the whole Canadian Premier league is kneeling every game.
If all goes well, DFO will pass its 800,000th comment tonight.
It’ll likely be a Moose gif.
Or maybe a YouTube video posted at 4 AM by AFLXMXL (sp?).
Five em a few months and the Nfl will have a The Police reunion head the Superbowl halftime show
They come in a combo deal? – Thomas Jefferson
Gentlemen.
SNOW!
So in this leadup to the game, they show a [*Redacted] s player – um, guys?
Happy Thursday/ opening day.
That’s got to be jelly, cause jam don’t shake like that!
Are we still support to respect the troopz? Or wear pink? What are we supposed to do Roger?? Save us!
“Not a fan of these mixed messages. Mixed massages? Huge fan.”

Trade away top receiver so more in hands of the passing game, collinsworth in peak form already
yeah, that was Peak That Guy
Pash rush.
LET’S FUCKIN’ GOOOOOOOOOO
I see new faces posting on this thread, andI have to admit, THAT’S SOME GREAT HUSTLE!
The lovely LA smoke has made the trip to KC.
Are you ready for the sloppy football with loads of injuries.
Why is it Chief’s Kingdom? I don’t recall any monarchical Native American tribes.
Shit. Rona couldn’t have taken Collinsworth?
You can’t kill what is already dead.
Skyline is a preservative.
That mask belongs over your nose too, asshole
Like wearing a condom on your ballsack.
Nose to asshole? That’s some human centipede stuff going on there.
That movie was upsetting. Couldn’t make it thorugh hte third one because it was straight up shit
I read the synopsis and ran in the opposite direction.
I have to swallow enough shit at work, no way I am going to watch it for entertainment.
Panties purchased at Payton’s Secret.
Did Frederick’s of Trubisky go out of business?
Yeah, too much overhead…passes.
Fans are allowed? I am sure they distanced properly in the tailgate.
Still surprised Andy’s Gatorade bath wasn’t sausage gravy.
Wow, Norma’s voice is straight up nails on a chalkboard.
