Report: Chiefs will play on their Bye Week-Your Thursday Night NFL Football Open Thread

This is the first of three bye weeks that K.C. will get. (they’ve beaten Denver 15 times in a row) This just makes the voices that say that the league favors the Chiefs, shout that much louder. As a lover of all bleak things, our Hippo must be in his element.

Tidbits:

-Toxic Fuckers Update-Mikey Bidwill’s PR team said all the properly contrite crap when news of his love of burner phones, screaming at pregnant women and making players pay for their own meals was made public. Meanwhile, the team has gone after the person who made these allegations.

-Walt Garrison, an rb for the Cowboys in the 70’s passed away at 79. I remember the thing about him was that he did rodeo work (bull wrestling) in his spare time even after he was warned by Coach Landry not to do so. How did his career come to an end? He busted up his knee trying to bring 3/4’s of a ton of ornery beef to the ground. Smart fella.

To The Game!

Dead Horses/Chiefs:

-Kelce will play. Also, Denver gets Dulcich back!

-Proppage Alert: Though he doesn’t get a lot thrown his way, Justin Watson’s yardage prop is 20.5. He averages 22.5 yards a catch and his aDOT is 23+. All it takes is one shot.

-Denver’s rush D is allowing 28 fantasy points per game to opposing backfields so Pachinko looks ok tonight. Overall that D gives up 7 yards per play.

-Payton’s swipe at Hackett seems more and more like something an out-of-touch coach would say. It hasn’t aged very well at all. That’s what happens when you try to stand on the shoulders of giant(s) failures.

-Them Broncs are surprisingly 1st in the league in blown 4th quarter leads. Why surprising? Who had them leading in the 4th quarter anyway?

-Despite their success K.C. has issues at the wr spot-Toney, MVS and Moore have all come up small so far this year. Well, come on down…Justyn Ross? Hey, he caught a couple of passes the other week and he splashed in preseason.

Do your thing.
