Chiefs "expected" to open the season @ New England

[Quesadilla Joe]

Per PFT...


Patriots-Chiefs expected to open season, Falcons at home on SNF

The schedule for the 2017 season is set to be announced this week, which means that we will find out which team will be visiting Gillette Stadium to play the Patriots in the first game of the season.

The Falcons are on New England’s home schedule this year, but it doesn’t look like the NFL will opt for a second straight Super Bowl rematch on the first Thursday of the season. Ben Volin of the Boston Globe reports that the opener will “almost certainly” involve the Chiefs coming to town.

The Chiefs went 12-4 last season and lost to the Steelers in the divisional round of the playoffs after winning the second seed in the conference as the AFC West champs. The Dolphins and Texans join the Falcons and Chiefs as the other 2016 playoff teams on the Patriots’ home slate, but it appears those games will also come later in the season.

The Falcons, per Volin, will likely be opening their new stadium on Sunday Night Football in Week One. The other three NFC South teams, Packers, Vikings, Bills, Dolphins and Cowboys are possible opponents.

What a bunch of bullshit. They will kick our ass.

[ThaVirus]

Weird shit happens in week 1 so we could pull off an upset but I doubt it.

Looking down the barrel of 0-1.

[Trivers]

1-0.

Foxboro in September is not Foxboro in December/January.

New king of the mountain.

[Pablo]

What better way to show we are real contenders than to beat the SB champs in their house!

Alex goes for 400 yards and 5 tds!

Gooooooooooooo chiefs!

[Why Not?]

Would take a Qourageous effort to win.

[Deberg_1990]

Alex Smiths stat line

210 yards. 1 TD, 0 ints

65 yards and 1 rushing TD after we are down by 3 scores late in the 4th

[RunKC]

Good.

I'd rather get it over with week 1. We have been a team that builds in the middle and late part of the season anyway.

[Sandy Vagina]

Shouldn't make any difference.. nothing should. CP says the Chiefs can never win anything with Smith... and all the top QB draftees need to sit year 1.. so who, where, or when we play in 2017 makes no difference.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Tyreek will be fresh and Belechick will learn you can't always take out their best player.

Chiefs 42
Pats 17

[New World Order]

We all know what happened last time we played Pats in week 1.

Brady's kneecap took a direct hit and flew out of the stadium

You got it right.

[Chief Northman]

Who cares when we play them. AFC WEST gets hardest SOS this year, so I only see the division winner getting to the dance.
Of course Pittsburgh and NE have soft schedules as usual.

[TimeForWasp]

Why do we always play there? I can't remember when they played at Arrowhead.

Everyone has a hard schedule in the playoffs. Who ends up winning those games?

[RealSNR]

We can win anywhere (or lose, too, I guess) in the regular season.

Postseason? We'd get our butts raped. Royally.

Still gonna chalk this one up as a loss.

[Titty Meat]

We will lose so bad this board will want us to put Mahomes in.

[wazu]

Whatever happens, it's just another meaningless game to be played while we slog forward with no hope of ever getting past the divisional round. Happy Easter, everybody.

[New World Order]

I'm guaranteeing a 30-21 win or Tiger leaves the board.

Pretty much.

[bdj23]

Sweet.

Bookend embarrassments on national television

[notorious]

The NFL will probably follow this home opener with the Chiefs traveling to Pittsburgh, Houston, and at home against somebody like Dallas.

[Chief Northman]

Everyone has a hard schedule in the playoffs. Who ends up winning those games?

Difference is NE can dress their B team and breeze through their division, and lock up a 1 or 2 seed each and every year. Attrition happens during the regular season for most other teams. It's how Denver won their Superbowl: the 1 seed was gifted to them as NE had half their starters on ir late that season and needed to rest them. No way an ineffective Manning goes on the road in the playoffs and wins.
Chiefs were injured and ill prepared for Pittsburgh. Drops, poor qb play, poor o-line play, porous run defense, no special teams edge - you name it. Andy tried to trust them by giving them the bye week off, but they came back unfocused. Meanwhile NE practiced all week, and after early scares against Houston, beat them down.

[New World Order]

We have a brutal road schedule:

Away: Denver Broncos, Oakland Raiders, San Diego Chargers, New England Patriots, New York Jets, Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Houston Texans

[Chief Northman]

We will lose so bad this board will want us to put Mahomes in.

Is he flying in from Arizona?

[Hoover]

Again, I welcome the challenge.

If anything, it means our guys will come ready to play. My biggest beef with Andy is that sometimes we start the season off a little slow. Plus if we draft a QB in the first round, Alex is going to have a big chip in his shoulder.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Good...and I'm suuuuure Denver gets a layup in Pile High too

[RunKC]

Well on the bright side, we should be the healthiest we will be all season

[Chief Northman]

Good...and I'm suuuuure Denver gets a layup in Pile High too

AFC WEST have the top 4 SOS this season. Tough for all.

[Chief Northman]

Heh. Good point.
Sadly so will they.

[scho63]

1-0.

It sucks but it's the same bullshit every year. Pats have the easiest division in the conference and will easily get the 1 seed and go back to the SB.

Still have to win in the playoffs. Our history proves it is not as easy as the Pats make it.

Who is going to beat them?

They own the Steelers, the Broncos have no QB, the Raiders can't even beat us on the road, the Colts have a ton of rebuilding to do, the Texans still won't have a QB and we suck in the playoffs.

[PunkinDrublic]

Maybe we can sign Bernard Pollard to a one game contract.

[Frazod]

I agree. The AFC is weak as hell. NE will own it unless Brady's age catches up to him.

[Ming the Merciless]

We'll lose anyways, so I can't wait to see them make Alex Smith look like the little bitch he is.

[RunKC]

AFC-Brady, Big Ben, Luck, Carr, Marriotta, Flacco, Rivers
NFC-Cam, Rodgers, Wilson, Winston, Brees, Ryan, Stanford, Dak, Cousins, Wentz, Eli

NFC is so much more competitive.

[Bugeater]

We'll lose anyways, so I can't wait to see them make Alex Smith look like the little bitch he is.
And then watch Tiger blame it on everyone but Alex.

[KChiefs1]

Andy's teams always start slow so we are looking at 0-1.

The 2017 NFL schedule is out?

I thought the Giants play the Chiefs this year, no?

You cannot play the Cowboys without playing the Giants, Eagles and Redskins...When did the NFL slip in the NFC South into the Chiefs schedule?

Let me read the article, that should help...

Pretty much. 1-3 says you are correct sir.

[Bewbies]

Maybe this time the Pats will blow out our QB's knee, end up trading for Bray upon Brady's retirement and thus begin a decade of ass sucking in Boston. :)

Fail to see what difference it makes who we play and when. Still have to win the games.

Maybe NE will sign Benard Pollard and "pay" us back.

During the meat of the season I agree with this, but historically the first 4 games USUALLY set up what going to follow.

The Chiefs were the exception a few years ago.

Someone call Bernard Pollard

[Rasputin]

Safety blitz?


Oh wait...

[Coochie liquor]

Chris Jones, Justin Houston, and Dee Ford are gonna go in dry on Cry Brady. Tyreek and the special teams get a score, Peters gets a pick on Cry Brady. We lose 20-10 because you know who can't find his rhythm, and throws a pick in the end zone. The Alex Smith farewell tour will be coming to a city near you....

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

If the Chiefs don't draft a QB in the first 2 rounds, why even watch? Either use a high resource to show you are moving on from Alex or keep being the same old same old.

- and they have Tom Brady and we have Alex Smith
- Bill will outcoach Andy as usual

The Pats unleashing the full might of Brandin Cooks on a defense that has had no way to prepare for him in their offense in Week 1 should be fun.

So the only reason we blew them out is because it was a home game? Those other points you pointed out meant nothing then? Expecting a good game out of two teams that had the two best records in the AFC last year is not that far fetched. The patriots will be favored, but chiefs still have a chance.

I don't think the league will let the Patriots win the Super Bowl this year, so we have a fighting chance. The narrative may be, though, that Brady will start strong to keep TV ratings up and then they'll collapse late in the season, like a few years ago when Manning's HGH prescription would run out.

Yeah. Dan Rooney tribute year.
Pending Oakland move too might bring them some favour. Especially since the darling prince snapped his ankle/leg last year and their playoff run was short-changed by a Connor Cook led effort.

This had to be concocted after Romo decided he was no good anymore.

Dallas/Pittsburgh Superbowl might sell....
Or Seattle vs. Marshawn....

Get that loss out of the way in Week 1 and then its nothing but smooooooooth sailing.

[Iconic]

Past ten years Reid's record is 7-3 in week one games. Lost to Green Bay twice and Titans once.

Reid's good off the bye, more time will only help but that new Gronkowski/Cooks combo sounds terrifying honestly.

It should be a great game.

I love opening against NE. They've had a bunch of years where they struggle early in the season so wk 1 is probably the best time to play them.

[Mile High Mania]

NFL releases the schedules this Thursday...

AFCW Home/Away is below... Chiefs and Chargers are most similar, same with Raiders and Broncos. Now it all depends on 'when'. And, yes... KC won the West and much like the Chargers, they travel to the Patriots, Giants and Cowboys while the Raiders and Broncos host those 3 teams. It's a travesty.

Chiefs
Home opponents: Pittsburgh Steelers, Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Redskins
Away opponents: Houston Texans, New England Patriots, New York Jets, Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants

Raiders
Home opponents: New England Patriots, New York Jets, Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Baltimore Ravens
Away opponents: Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, Philadelphia Eagles, Washington, Tennessee Titans

Broncos
Home opponents: New England Patriots, New York Jets, Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Cincinnati Bengals
Away opponents: Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Redskins, Indianapolis Colts

Chargers
Home opponents: Miami Dolphins, Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Redskins, Cleveland Browns
Away opponents: New England Patriots, New York Giants, New York Jets, Dallas Cowboys, Jacksonville Jaguars

[Why Not?]

Um, the Pats are like 13-2 over the past 15 opening weeks

[RunKC]

We need to draft OLB and CB early. Ideally I would like like to see QB then OLB/CB, but if all QB's are gone we need to draft the best CB IMO.

Brandon Cooks
Julian Edelman
Chris Hogan
Danny Amendola
Malcolm Mitchell

That's a nightmare for #4 CB's. It's honestly to the point where teams are needing 4 quality CB's these days.

[Red Dawg]

We have zero chance of wining this game.

[PAChiefsGuy]

Um, the Pats are like 13-2 over the past 15 opening weeks

They always have a good record no matter what time of the year it is.

But I remember when we killed them that was earlier in the year, they went 0-2 and won the SB another year. So it can be done.

We have zero chance of wining this game.

We can beat them. It won't be easy but the Chiefs with Reid have beaten plenty of great teams including the Pats when they won the SB.

[Trivers]

We have zero chance of wining this game.

Geez, we should just forfeit right now. Why bother to show up?

[FloridaMan88]

Might as well get this game over with in week one... rather than having to play in New England in December when the Chiefs will hopefully be in the thick of fighting for a playoff berth.

Away opponents: Houston Texans, New England Patriots, New York Jets, Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants

It's kind of unique that KC plays both the Jets and Giants away this year. They will play two away games in the same stadium. I wonder if they ever did that in the old Meadowlands stadium.

I can't remember a time this has happened before.

What a bunch of bullshit. They will kick our ass.

No pressure on us ! I think we pull it off if the Pats are still patting themselves on their own backs. Can you imagine if we draft McCaffrey and have Tyreek and Kelce on the field together at least 60-70% of the plays. Who do you cover?? Reid will be a kid in candy store.:clap:

Will be fun seeking Gronk, Cooks and Edelman on the field together. IF the Pats OLine holds up and Brady doesn't hit the "oh, crap, I'm playing my age" wall, ought to be a great offense.

Defense returns nearly all key players so should be fine next year too.

[Reerun_KC]

I just hope that Belichick doesn't chicken out and retire when Brady does. I want him to coach for another 5 years without Brady.

I would go out on top with Brady...

Then get a job at NFL Network so NFL fans would have to see me every day.

:D

[Best22]

Great.

We beat them.

CP predicts SB.

NE seeks revenge in post season.

Another one-and-done in the postseason for the Chiefs.

Its highly unlikely we meet New England in a divisional game at Arrowhead.

[PAChiefsGuy]

Why are people so scared of the Pats? Since Reid has been here we've kicked the crap out of them on national TV and then lost to them by a mere 7-pts in the playoffs.

I look at this as the perfect wk-1 matchup for us. If we lose, no big it's the Pats, if we win, great way to start the season and build confidence.

[Mr. Laz]

It seems like we play the Pats an awful lot.

[FloridaMan88]

Chiefs haven't won at New England since 1990... the Patriots 1-15 season.

[PAChiefsGuy]

Well then I guess we should forfeit the game.

[Reerun_KC]

We already have...

Eh, there's a chance we could see them in Foxboro. Though we technically wouldn't be a one and done.

[BucEyedPea]

What a bunch of bullshit. They will kick our ass.

:D

Of course he will.

Bruce Arians: Week One loss to Patriots derailed our season


When the Patriots met the Cardinals in Week One of 2016, it was viewed as a potential Super Bowl preview between two of the league’s best teams. As it turned out, it was a great game that came down to the final minute — but it was no Super Bowl preview.

After the Patriots beat the Cardinals 23-21, New England went on to win the Super Bowl, while Arizona went on to finish the season a disappointing 7-8-1. Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said on the PFT Live podcast that he thinks the Week One loss sent the rest of the season spiraling out of control.

“I think the biggest reason was losing the opener on Sunday Night Football to the Patriots on that missed field goal,” Arians said. “That took a lot of swagger out of our football team, then we came back and lost to the Rams in another close game. We didn’t win the close games we had won in the past but it all goes back to that first one.”

The flip side is, the Cardinals didn’t give up on their season and finished with two impressive wins in Weeks 16 and 17. Arians said he thinks that will propel them into the coming season, when he expects his team to play a lot better than it did last year, hopefully starting in Week One.

What a soft team

[stumppy]

If a loss in week 1 and/or 2 had such an effect on the team then I'd say the guy in charge of that team bears the majority of the blame.

I don't think Arians' worries re: what happened to the Cardinals applies to the Chiefs. That game last year was AT HOME against a Brady-less Patriots. I could see a loss against a rookie QB at home would seriously shake the confidence of a team that thought it was a contender.

The Chiefs this year play the Patriots on the road in the game where we're hoisting our SB banner, with Brady behind center and Gronk back. I think defending Super Bowl champs are like 12-1 or 13-0 or something in such games since the Thursday night season opener hosted by the defending SB champ was introduced in about 2004. Chiefs will have every reason -- unless they are completely blown out -- to leave with a loss (if they do) and shrug it off.

Jimmy started ahead of Brady and they were home.

Wouldn't be the same thing with us.

All eyes of the Nation will be on us. No pressure on prime time.


I just hope we don't shit the bed but coming out with a win would be remarkable. This game just may set the tone for the season good or bad what to expect. The good thing that this team has proved even after a loss not to count them out because this is a resilient team and can salvage a season and what not.

I predict a good, close competitive game that the Patriots take control of in the 2nd half and win comfortably, but by a reasonably close score (say 7-10 points, but a late Chiefs touchdown makes that score look more closer than the 2nd half really was).

More importantly, however, that loss does not derail the Chiefs season at all and they go on to make the playoffs.

So, basically the playoff game from 2 years ago?

Chiefs are a team that win games they shouldn't and lose games they should win. Still I think it's a 9-7 team battling for a playoff spot just will need a lot of help getting it from other teams.

[Spott]

We will get beat by at least 17 points.

[stumppy]

Let's revisit this post after the game shall we? :evil:

Yes.......yes......an excellent suggestion. Because you've been a decent poster from a rival team for so long I'll give you this one piece of advice.

Watch this game from a place you feel safe in.:D

[penbrook]

We lost by 7 points against the Pats 2 years ago and that was without key players on defense and we had Jason fucking Avant as our #1. I believe this year it will be different

[RunKC]

No chance. Sorry guys

Of course that's how it will go. Plus we get the joy of listening to the homers crow about how close we are, when we really aren't.

I was in vegas last week - early line is pats - 9.5

[Baby Lee]

I think a game that has more effect on the AFCW for the season is the Raiders giving up a home game to host NE in Meh-heeee-KO.

[PAChiefsGuy]

We can beat them. We have the team to do it.

Expect a lot of quick passes by NE. That's how they beat teams with good pass rushes like we should have assuming Justin Houston plays like he should. Hopefully our D-line puts their hands up as much as possible. NYGs dline always gave them fits in the SBs with that strategy.
