[Chiefs Pantalones]

Thoughts, brethren? Predictions?

Should be a quick week.

I agree. I think the Chiefs will win, but I think I would be more surprised to see them destroy the Jags then to lose or play it super tight.

That would be impressive.

The Jags game is important. It is still a Road win in Florida. I think it sets the tone- it is a team we should beat in the ground. I like our odds against dallas as well- should be a tough game- but 2-0 to start is what I am thinking.

Jaguars coach Gus Bradley said Blaine Gabbert (thumb) could be a game-time decision Sunday. Gabbert was only able to practice on a limited basis Wednesday and admitted he's still feeling discomfort. He remains on track to start over Chad Henne in Week 1. Gabbert will likely play at less than 100 percent against the Chiefs.

Absolutely this.

Do they still have Todd Bouman's phone number? Or did his crazy bitch wife take them off the grid?

I am also thinking 2-0. A win against Dallas would be huge.

True, but what's the alternative? A W is a positive thing, not a reason for further depression.

given our history of awesomeness on opening days.......I'm not sure if I'm at all confident of a win

The past has passed, i believe this team has a new identity, an identity that doesn't allow them go down there and shit the bed against a truly inferior opponent...

Heard today on the way home, 9 of the past 13 years we've started 0-2

But we go on that meaningless win streak in November to get back to 8-8! Alls well that ends well!

Without even lookin' I'm saying that's not good info.

I think we handle them, but don't blow them out. Smith will be very conservative if we get any kind of lead. And they will pull close at the end. We still win though.

Ya sure?

Well, let's just say Mitch Holtus is praying that we start off with a win. He thinks of this as a playoff game.
