Week 1 - Let's talk about the Lions

[TLO]

Looks like the Chiefs are 6.5 point favorites according to Vegas.

How do you see this one playing out?

[Molitoth]

the Lions are my second fav team, but I'll be rooting my favorite team, the Kansas City Chiefs.

[Megatron96]

Holy God, thank you.

Forget the spread. KC has been terrible about covering for the last couple years. Plus, the Chiefs only managed 6 double-digit Ws in 2022. Take out those games, and the average margin of victory for KC was about 3 points.

IIrc, DET is going to be missing a few players that would've been possible difference makers, i think due to injury?

of course, we'll be missing CJ. Possibly Toney. Depends on how much he practices next week and how well, I'd imagine.


i think the game will be a lot closer than it should be, due to CJ's absence. Not just because of his pass-rushing either. He's become the best run-stuffer on the DL as well, and DET likes to run the ball. That should narrow the margin somewhat for DET.

And we can't forget that DET won 8 of their last 10 in 2022, in large part due to their defense coming together.


And their offense is credible. Goff can play the position, and while not elite, he can stand and deliver passes anywhere on the field, if not harassed too much. It helps that he has a nice array of WRs to throw to, and a solid RB corps to take some of the heat off of him.


However, it's Week 1, and I expect DET to come out a bit rusty. Chiefs usually come out pretty good in the opener, so I expect the Chief to win, though by 3-4, not 7.

[tredadda]

The Lions could be tough this year. It will all depend on if Goff improves or if he becomes Goof again. They have a lot of talent on offense so it will be a good test of our defense without Jones (most likely).

I think this offense will move the ball and score well against their defense although I am intrigued to see how our new Ts match up against Hutchinson.

If there was one team I would love to see win it all if KC doesn't it would be the Lions. That fanbase has suffered more than almost any other.

[CasselGotPeedOn]

What kind of faggot ass shit is this?

[Bearcat]

Feels like the opener against the Cards... fake hype after the Lions *checks notes* beat two 9-win playoff teams and the looked-like-a-9-win-team Vikings.

[Demonpenz]

The last time the chiefs faced goff he went for 500

[Delano]

Holy God, thank you.

However, it's Week 1, and I expect DET to come out a bit rusty. Chiefs usually come out pretty good in the opener, so I expect the Chief to win, though by 3-4, not 7.

You might want to check which roster TJ Hockenson is actually on.

[Rainbarrel]

Thanksgiving gets here earlier and earlier every year

[In58men]

It’ll come down to the wire like always.

It’ll be something like 24-28, Detroit has the ball with 1:26 left and 1 timeout. Chiefs get a turnover to seal the game.

[Megatron96]

You might want to check which roster TJ Hockenson is actually on.



Weird. I literally just looked at their roster on ESPN and TJ was on there.

But you're right; I remember TJ going to MIN last year. My bad.

[Coochie liquor]

It’ll come down to the wire like always.

It’ll be something like 24-28, Detroit has the ball with 1:26 left and 1 timeout. Chiefs get a turnover to seal the game.

I seenn no it more like Detroit has the lead late, but Pat pulls another rabbit outta his hat. In the form of a last second TD to Ross!

[In58men]

I will cum.

Cum will be everywhere.

[Wisconsin_Chief]

It’s going to be a boat race, the Lions are going to put up points on this defense without Jones. Chiefs can light up their defense even more though, so we should pull it out.

Going to be a fun one to start the year.

[RollChiefsRoll]

FUCK THEM

[Raiderhater]

Celebrating the SB win in prime time, and this time with a full and rowdy house…

I think the Chiefs dominate Detroit like they did Houston in the 2020 kick off special.

[Bearcat]

Holy God, thank you.

So, we can also remove 6 of those Ws for Detroit? :spock:

[Easy 6]

If there was one team I would love to see win it all if KC doesn't it would be the Lions. That fanbase has suffered more than almost any other.

True that

[TwistedChief]

You might want to check which roster TJ Hockenson is actually on.

How can one spend that much time posting about a team when one isn't even aware that the weapon was traded to the Vikings at the deadline last season? And was the focus for Cousins on the most crucial down of the entire season?

Now, if you want to say Sam Laporta could be every bit the player Hockenson was, I'm on board with that. He's going to be very, very good.

I'm really glad Jameson Williams isn't playing. I hope they haven't figured out how to utilize Gibbs yet. Andy Reid is really, really good when he has time to gameplan for teams like this. Goff can be rattled and Spags is going to have to get awfully creative without Chris Jones being a normal part of the DL.

It could be tough. It's so impossible to know.

[Red Dawg]

It’s going to be a boat race, the Lions are going to put up points on this defense without Jones. Chiefs can light up their defense even more though, so we should pull it out.

Going to be a fun one to start the year.

With or without Jones teams have put up pints on us.

[ModSocks]

With or without Jones teams have put up pints on us.

As long as they dont put up gallons we'll be alright.

[Megatron96]

So, we can also remove 6 of those Ws for Detroit? :spock:



Well, I guess if you want to.:hmmm:

The point is that KC doesn't regularly blow other teams out. Hasn't been a thing for a couple three years now. It happens here and there, but there's no real consistency about it.

And when they don't blow teams out, the games tend to be pretty close. Nothing in between really.

If there was, I'd have a lot more $$$ in my sportsbook acct right now . . .

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

Will all 7 WRs dress on Sunday? Will all see the field? How will it play out?

[Simply Red]

Hello - Love KC in this one!

[Megatron96]

Will all 7 WRs dress on Sunday? Will all see the field? How will it play out?



Hmm. I'm all out of magic 8-balls . . .

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

Absolutely love the Lions but Mahomes pulls this one out, I expect MVS and Skyy to have a huge game along with Kelce. Our defense will get ran through like Swiss cheese and it’s gonna be a shootout. Goff vs Mahomes 2!! I predict 41-45 Chiefs

[smithandrew051]

Chiefs win a close one. 69-0

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

I will cum.

Cum will be everywhere.

You mean like, In 58 Men ??

[KC Hawks]

I think should every team except the KC Chiefs should kill themselves

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

I really, really, really wanted Gibbs to fall to us, he would have been a perfect fit. I hope Bolton is on point .

[Delano]

It could be tough. It's so impossible to know.

Have to assume it was a brain fog moment… I hope. That was a big trade down the stretch last year.

The Lions have such a good line and it’s going to test Spags’ scheme changes with the front 7 minus Jones. Gibbs and Montgomery could really challenge the Chiefs but you hope they’re very diversely skilled linebackers can lock them down.

I’m really curious if Reid will call a ball control type offense or if they’ll try to put up 35+ a game. Jones missing could impact things in so many ways.

[Megatron96]

I think should every team except the KC Chiefs should kill themselves



Um, then there wouldn't be a league. So, no Super bowls.

sounds very boring.

[Skyy God]

Kicked the gambling habit, eh??

[In58men]

You mean like, In 58 Men ??

Yes and you’re part of the 58, congratulations!

[Skyy God]

Also, Chiefs gonna eat all their kneecaps.

[Simply Red]

Chiefs win a close one. 69-0

Thinking Mahomes will throw for 420 yards!

[lewdog]

I'm not sure who's going to be the bigger disappointment this year....The Lions, The Jets or Chris Jones?!?!?!

[Titty Meat]

Should be a good game Lions catching us at an interesting time with injuries and hold outs.

[In58men]

I'm not sure who's going to be the bigger disappointment this year....The Lions, The Jets or Chris Jones?!?!?!

Your mom actually…..it’ll be your mom.

[Bump]

Thinking Mahomes will throw for 420 yards!

to just the tight end and another 420 to our 7 receivers

[Megatron96]

I actually hope it's a good competitive game. Always had a little soft spot for DET since they drafted Barry.

Also, it's the first game of the season. It would be nice if it was exciting. Even a little nerve-wracking.

[Titty Meat]

Chiefs win a close one. 69-0

LMAO!!!

[TLO]

Kicked the gambling habit, eh??

Sure have. Going on 60 days. I never bet on sports, but the Vegas lines always intrigue me.

Yes please.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Yes and you’re part of the 58, congratulations!

[FloridaMan88]

Andy Reid vs Dan Campbell… anytime… but especially week one… is a coaching mismatch to put it mildly.

[Megatron96]

Have to assume it was a brain fog moment… I hope. That was a big trade down the stretch last year.



!00%. total brainfart. On multiple levels.

[Chris Meck]

Good gods, man, you keep doing this -

Chiefs won "only 6 games by double digits"

You mean like HALF?

[Megatron96]

Did we play a 12 game season? Could've sworn the Chiefs played 20 games . . .

[IowaHawkeyeChief]

As long as they dont put up gallons we'll be alright.

We'll drown if they do...

[Megatron96]

As long as they dont put up gallons we'll be alright.

:)

[Hammock Parties]

The Lions still have a terrible defense.

I see a 38-27ish type game that's close for awhile until the Chiefs lay down the law in the 4th.

We're not letting the banner drop be tarnished.

[Megatron96]

Yeah, so I did some research, and KC played a full regular season slate in 2022 (I knew it!!!!), which is 17 games, not 12. So 6 games out of 17 games . . . carry the 1 . . . that's not half (50%), but actually 35% (6/17).

But my post was with gambling and the spread in mind, so I was really thinking about the reg season plus playoffs, which, as I stated, is really 20 games played in 2022. Was pretty sure about that one, since I bet on nearly every game last year.

Now, in doing that research I found that I missed the SEA game, so it wasn't 6 games, but 7 games KC won by double-digits.

But that's still just 35%, when considering every actual game played, 20.

So, no, not HALF.

Hope that clear.:)

[Pepe Silvia]

Barry Sanders isn’t running through that door.

[big nasty kcnut]

CHIEFS 90 DETROIT 0 Let the fun begin.

[MMXcalibur]

This is going to be our toughest game to date on the season.

The Lions are coming in undefeated and we haven't won a game. Hope we can hang with 'em and make it interesting in the 4th quarter.

[ptlyon]

Interesting. I don't see where the CJ news has moved the line.

[smithandrew051]

CHIEFS 90 DETROIT 0 Let the fun begin.

Only if you start the GDT

Season is over. Won't sniff the playoffs

[gordonelloyd]

Who is going to be our WR 1.

[Tribal Warfare]

Who is going to be our WR 1.

Outside of Kelce it'll probably be MVS

[BleedingRed]

I needed this thread

[BossChief]

We are superior at damn near every position.

Our offense has a chance to put the league on notice with close to a 50 point opening performance and I can see the defense giving up half that to their offense.

[ThyKingdomCome15]

With no Omenihu or Jones Goff should have time to throw. I expect our secondary to play well regardless. I'm looking forward to seeing Felix and George on the field at the same time.

The offense shouldn't have any trouble breaking 30 points. Skyy didn't get much work in Preseason. We need him to find his groove. It's his time now.

Going to be a lot of fun

BANNER!!!

[TwistedChief]

We are superior at damn near every position.


I'm not that familiar with the Lions, but off the top of my head, I'd take Aidan Hutchinson over any of our edge rushers and Aman-Ra St Brown over any of our receivers.

[Bearcat]

Yeah, so I did some research, and KC played a full regular season slate in 2022 (I knew it!!!!), which is 17 games, not 12. So 6 games out of 17 games . . . carry the 1 . . . that's not half (50%), but actually 35% (6/17).

Hope that clear.:)

In terms if the Lions, it would probably make more sense to see how many games they won by double digits against non-playoff teams... since the Lions aren't the Bills, Bengals, 49ers, Jags.

Unless they are, I guess. :shrug:

[Chris Meck]

Did we play a 12 game season? Could've sworn the Chiefs played 20 games . . .

Chiefs were 5th in win margin.

[Chris Meck]

Anyway, I think The Lions are probably going to be a playoff team. It's a worthy opponent

[chiefzilla1501]

I feel like more and more there is a wider spread between old school coaches who put on a well run camp and those who don’t. Maybe Campbell runs a good offseason but his team has opened the season poorly since he’s been coach. Since mahomes took over we’ve won the opening game by 10+ all but one season (where we won by 2 vs the browns) and a few like last year were an embarrassing display of catching an unprepared team off guard. our early season preparation is always going to be a huge pro for us.

[Skyy God]

I'm not that familiar with the Lions, but off the top of my head, I'd take Aidan Hutchinson over any of our edge rushers and Aman-Ra St Brown over any of our receivers.

Furious George, especially the back half, played similarly to Hutch last year.

And our WR corps >>> theirs.

[CoMoChief]

These arent your daddy's Lions.

Hope the Chiefs don't take them lightly. Its the home opener so hopefully they're jacked up for it.

[Skyy God]

They had a good last half of the season. Then they spent their firsts on a midget RB and an off ball LB and had last year’s #1 suspended for gambling.

Prime regression candidate. Late season momentum rarely carries over.

[TwistedChief]

I am curious what Karlaftis does this year if Jones doesn't show up. Could be a lot rougher if he starts seeing double teams (which he struggled with in college). Just in general I am really reluctant to project any of our DL out from last year if Jones isn't playing as I think he made everyone else's life a lot easier.

As for WR corps, are you sure? I can say with certainty that I feel better with Mahomes throwing to our WRs versus Goff throwing to his, but I'm not sure our WRs in isolation ex-Mahomes are clearly better (especially if we're talking about an up-to-speed Jameson Williams whom we happily get to avoid).

[RunKC]

Aidan Hutchinson is gonna test our new tackles early. If he can't get consistent pressure on Patrick it's game over. It's as simple as that.

Their OL could pummel our DL which could keep them in the game.

[Skyy God]

We were wildly the most efficient offense last year. Our WRs have another year to learn Andy’s system, and we added high talent guys in Rice and James.

People are sleeping on them due to lack of past production.

“ The Chiefs had the best offense last season, and it wasn’t close. They ranked first in expected points added per drive, and the difference between them and the second-ranked Eagles was the same as the difference between the Eagles and the 16th-ranked Packers.”

[mr. tegu]

We will blow them out as we always do in the first game. Average margin of victory in the first game with Mahomes is 13 with only one game where we won by less than 10 points.

[HC_Chief]

The Lions were hot in the second half of last season. Great offense, terrible defense. Reminds me a bit of our Vermeil era Chiefs... can score, but can't stop anybody.

If we can get a few crucial early stops, this may end up being a boat race, i.e. 21+ margin of victory. Our offense should have a field day. We already know Andy's teams come out firing on all cylinders to start the season (and after a bye)... no reason to expect otherwise. The Lions traditionally start slow; again, no reason to expect otherwise.

No turnovers. TDs instead of FGs. Get some stops on D. Victory.

Goff is very much like Alex Smith. If the plan is working and the offense is "on schedule" he can be pretty effective. He's a better thrower than Smith and more capable of making big-time throws, but it still requires things going according to plan.

Johnson is a pretty damn good OC. One of the better offensive minds around.

But defensively, I don't see them matching up well against KC or having the horses in the secondary or on the front lines to really give KC too much trouble.

If the Chiefs can get a league working and put more on Goff's shoulders, it can be a comfortable win. Probably a shootout - for a while, at least -otherwise.

Of course, I have gotten to the point where I'm assuming Chris Jones will not play in this one. Him playing could create a little more optimism in the defense for this matchup.

[ThaVirus]

I’ve been having nightmares about Jahmyr Gibbs.

Our team is pretty different this year. All new bookends, new WR corps, terrible defensive line, missing Chris Jones, Sneed and Toney. I truly don’t know what to expect.

I’m just leaning into the fact that Reid’s had months to prepare for this one, which will make us a tough out for anyone. Plus we’ve got Mahomes so.. not going to worry too much.

I’d just really like a big win to start the year off right. If we lose or even falter too much, the pundits will be harping on our WRs and missing Chris Jones for another week and a half before our next game and I don’t want to deal with that shit.

My counterpoint is that's just all Mahomes (and Kelce to a lesser extent). And JuJu is gone. And you can argue some of their young receivers also benefit from more time in the new Ben Johnson (their OC) system.

[tredadda]

This is going to be our toughest game to date on the season.

The Lions are coming in undefeated and we haven't won a game. Hope we can hang with 'em and make it interesting in the 4th quarter.

Part of the reason we have zero wins is because Mahomes has zero TD passes. Just hope this changes against the Lions.

[Megatron96]

Chiefs were 5th in win margin.



That's true. Also not really what I was talking about.

[Wallcrawler]

The Kansas City Chiefs will defeat the Detroit Lions handily, however, it will be late third quarter before Megatron eases up on the hand wringing worrying about if we will win by double digits or not.

Chris Jones will have paid over one million dollars to watch his stock go down, and the most braindead agent of all time will have allowed this spiral down the shitter he started to continue.

Dilphag9 weeps at the sight of a Chiefs team without Chris Jones, contemplating chugging the antifreeze, and TwistedPanties stares on speechless, slackjawed with a tendril of drool oozing from the corner of his mouth at the idea that the Chiefs defense got off the field a single time without the almighty 95 to save the other 10 defensive players.

Pete will watch on from the edge of his seat, looking for any reason to proclaim this team won't sniff the playoffs, and taking notes on which key contributors to the win should be denied amenities for their mistakes during a game we won.

In short, its going to be the greatest night of the year, with The Kansas City Chiefs returning to kick off the NFL season, drop the banner, then drop Jared Goff and the Lions like a bad habit.

The usual suspects with partake of their inaugural GameDay thread screech and squee, thread bans will take place, all will be right with the world and the Kansas City Chiefs will be 1-0.

[AdolfOliverBush]

The Chiefs will fuck their asses, and make them humble.

[Mecca]

They have a lot of offensive weapons with a top notch line so they will most likely move the ball.

[Megatron96]

My guess is that they're going to run the ball liberally; test our DL's run defense without CJ and Omenihu.

Nnadi/Tershon/the ex-Raider are going to get lots of work.

[saphojunkie]

They have a lot of offensive weapons with a top notch line so they will most likely move the ball.

Happy that Jameson Williams isn't around yet

[Mecca]

Happy that Jameson Williams isn't around yet

Amon Ra St Brown is very good...

[tredadda]

They have a lot of offensive weapons with a top notch line so they will most likely move the ball.

Yeah, I am interested in seeing if we are able to generate any pressure on Goff with that line of theirs.

[BitterSyd]

First time poster here and a lifelong Detroit Lion fan (since '68). Have never seen the Lions on the road until this coming Sept. 7th. Was a season ticket holder from '77 to '84 and still go to two or three games a year. Us Lion fans have very thick skin and can take almost anything. Trust me, we heard it all through the decades.

Loved watching as a wee lad, those great KC/Oak games. Thats what got me hooked on the sport. Have family south of KC and have driven by Arrowhead. Looking forward to actually going to a game there, let alone a nationally televised opener. Curious to hear if the stadium is as loud as the old Silverdome during Barry's years was. Can't miss me, I'll be the old fart in Lions gear. If you're interested, please come visit our forum "Detroit Lions The Den". Hope this doesn't break a rule.

For the game, we didn't play any starters of last year's team during preseason. Having two joint sessions (NYG & Jax), the starters got their work there. Came thought relatively injury free. We have gotten deeper on all three levels of the defense, via a solid draft and key FA signings. Expect heavy DL/LB rotations, we are deep here. Fourth quarter will be interesting.

This is the first game in over two years with starting Oline (Decker, JJackson, Ragnow, BigV & Sewell). Also have a brand-new upgraded RB room, but feel we are weaker at WR than last year. Hopefully rookie TE LaPorta can fill the void. Should be a helava game! Of course, hoping for a Lion win and making it out of there alive.

GOOD LUCK!

That’s a normal welcome to CP. And he’s one of the nicer ones.

Please forgive us. We used to be friendlier when fans of opposing teams who have been hapless in the same way that we were pre-Mahomes would show up. But then Bengals fans came around a couple seasons ago and we welcomed them with amusement, only for that team to become the most obnoxious and arrogant and their fans to follow.

I find it hard to believe anyone could ever truly hate the Detroit Lions. So we wish you well outside of the opener.

Duncan requires all potential friends to meet him at the George Brett statue for proper vetting.

Ohio football fans are... special.

Lions fans tend to be more reasonable. Probably due largely to 60 years of humble pie. And we probably have our share of knuckleheads. Bandwagon is filling up, bound to be some bad apples.

Chiefs have always been my AFC team dating back to the Joe Montana year. Loved the 9ers as a kid and followed him over. Mahomes is my favorite non-Lion. I wish you all well in recovering from a 0-1 start. At least the ring ceremony will be fun for you 😀

In a tad over two years everything has been replaced, from owner to asst trainer. And all are on the same page. This is brand new poop in these parts.

Fully aware that no one gives a shit around that here. Just saying, don't be shocked...

Sweet, we have a couple of Lions fans to play with!!

Great offense! That _efense tho.... oof. Said it before, saying it again: this Lions team reminds me of the Vermeil Chiefs teams: score a ton of points, but can't stop anyone from doing the same.

What you've got stacked against you here: Mahomes, Kelce, Andy, and the best O in the league. Andy with a whole off-season to prepare. Arrowhead. A crowd plus amped, as the SB banner is raised. Thursday Night Football, season opener energy. This adds up to an absolute blender. Don't feel bad if it is a slaughter... that is an insanely tough way to open the season. Good luck the rest of the way!!

Welcome to ChiefsPlanet. I gave you the golden ring, you're welcome. I really, really,really wanted Gibbs to fall to us but you snatched him up. That's OK, we're solid with 2/3rds of our RB group. We use recievers best anyway as you'll witness next Thursday. Good luck and "Eat a Bag O dicks"

I'm a bit biased, but not sure it can get much better than prime time Arrowhead (of course, besides playoff primetime Arrowhead). Get there early, tailgate, spend all of your money.

I dunno, between another SB victory, a new airport, and trash bins... we're flying pretty high right now. 0-1 would just be a flesh wound by comparison.

Defense is much better than its record last year would indicate. Over the last 10 games points against went down to 21 per. Lots of players got healthy and rookies stepped up. This off-season the entire secondary save one safety was upgraded, and that was the weakness. And the one safety retained was a rookie last year, and was super good. D line is loaded with pass rushers. LB corps is stacked. Biggest question mark is DT and run defense.

They won't be a top 5 unit, but I expect top 12-15. Which is good enough if the offense can repeat its top 5 performance. I expect some regression there, but the team is built to compete with anyone. The Champs in Arrowhead is a tall task. KC should rightly be favored, but the game will be competitive. Throw in typical early season variance and I wouldn't be shocked to see an upset.

A jump from dead last to 12-15 would be massive. I wouldn't bank on it if I were you, but hey, you do you. Maybe your Lions will get there by end of season, but game one... ouch. This is the worst possible draw for anyone.

I won't claim to know much about the defensive talent that Detroit added, but they were #32 in opponent yards per play. 6.2. If they needed a huge improvement over the last 10 games to achieve that number, that's pretty awful.

A top 12-15 D seems a little optimistic.

[duncan_idaho]

It is nice to see some opposing fans in here who are not flaming dildos.

I think we’re going to see points go up on both sides but will never bet against bye week Andy Reid, especially when Cam Sutton and Emmanuel Mosley are the starting corners for the team Reid is facing.

I’m sure Chauncey Gardner-Johnson is hyped for this one, but he’s gonna lose his second straight to the Chiefs.

[Molitoth]

No, I'm a KC local.

But as an early teen, Barry Sanders became my favorite player and I found myself watching any Lions game that was televised until he retired.

Oh yeah, I came across that and was yep, that’s the one I’m using. It just hit a little differently than the other options.

[KSCHIEF]

I think we carve them up pretty bad offensively. I do think they have an improving defense but they will be relying on a rookie MLB and a rookie 3rd safety who will play a lot against how Reid likes to lineup. Two middle of the field rookies playing for the first time in NFL... in primetime... against PMII... sign me up.

[KSCHIEF]

I'm sure Lions fans are equal parts excited & nervous to see how their team looks. Goff better figure out how to play better on the road. His home/road splits are rough

2022:
HOME: 2,472 yards 65.8 comp% 7.7 Avg 23 TD 3 INT 109.3 Rating
AWAY: 1,966 yards 64.2 comp% 7.3 Avg 6 TD 4 INT 87.4 Rating

2021:
HOME: 1,900 yards 70.5 comp% 6.7 Avg 13 TD 3 INT 99.4 Rating
AWAY: 1,345 yards 62.7 comp% 6.4 Avg 6 TD 5 INT 80.7 Rating

I find it hard to believe anyone could ever truly hate the Detroit Lions. So we wish you well outside of the opener.

Actually I think the constant onslaught by Broncos and Patriots fans when they were good started it all. It got absolutely out of control in the 2019 Season AFCCG against Tennessee followed by Niner "fans" leading up to the SB. I do agree though that the Bengals were the worst. The most cringe worthy of all was the Cincy mayor and his comments last year.

[tredadda]

First time poster here and a lifelong Detroit Lion fan (since '68). Have never seen the Lions on the road until this coming Sept. 7th. Was a season ticket holder from '77 to '84 and still go to two or three games a year. Us Lion fans have very thick skin and can take almost anything. Trust me, we heard it all through the decades.

Loved watching as a wee lad, those great KC/Oak games. Thats what got me hooked on the sport. Have family south of KC and have driven by Arrowhead. Looking forward to actually going to a game there, let alone a nationally televised opener. Curious to hear if the stadium is as loud as the old Silverdome during Barry's years was. Can't miss me, I'll be the old fart in Lions gear. If you're interested, please come visit our forum "Detroit Lions The Den". Hope this doesn't break a rule.

For the game, we didn't play any starters of last year's team during preseason. Having two joint sessions (NYG & Jax), the starters got their work there. Came thought relatively injury free. We have gotten deeper on all three levels of the defense, via a solid draft and key FA signings. Expect heavy DL/LB rotations, we are deep here. Fourth quarter will be interesting.

This is the first game in over two years with starting Oline (Decker, JJackson, Ragnow, BigV & Sewell). Also have a brand-new upgraded RB room, but feel we are weaker at WR than last year. Hopefully rookie TE LaPorta can fill the void. Should be a helava game! Of course, hoping for a Lion win and making it out of there alive.

GOOD LUCK!

Where in south KC is your family. Welcome to the board. There are a ton of people on here with a ton of knowledge about football, but you need a thick skin to survive. The mods are generally more tolerant than on most boards, but that freedom has caused some opposing fans to refer to this place as a cespool or Mos Eisley. Oh and good luck on the season, just not week 1.

While an upset is possible, so is a blowout win for KC. The Lions are up and coming, but as teams keep finding out KC is much better than they realized. They have hosted five straight AFCCGs (a record), been to three out of the last four SBs with a 2-1 record in them and were an offsides and poor half by the offense from being in five straight SBs. This is all while playing in the significantly more difficult AFC. No matter how much people predict the demise of KC, they continue to be the gold standard in the NFL.

Excellent post. Goff is fake news.

[Red Dawg]

Let's hope we come out and establish the run. Pound our RB's up Humphreys ass straight into their DL the entire first quarter. Doesn't matter if it leads to points, we must let them know we are tough and will run the ball all day if we need to. We may not win the game but this will put the league on notice that we are not weak.

If we lose, on opening night, dropping the SB banner and hoisting the Lombardi, then we are weak.

Lol, if this was a week 5 game I'd put a paycheck on the chiefs money line. But week one is always crazy to predict. Lots of rust and new players not experienced in the system. Weird things always happen.


The weirdest thing that has happened to the Chiefs with Mahomes in week 1 was the ONE time they didn’t win by double digits.

[KCJake]

Let's hope we come out and establish the run. Pound our RB's up Humphreys ass straight into their DL the entire first quarter. Doesn't matter if it leads to points, we must let them know we are tough and will run the ball all day if we need to. We may not win the game but this will put the league on notice that we are not weak.

This is probably the worst idea ever

[Red Dawg]

This is probably the worst idea ever

It's a joke. Old guys like me remember the days where this is what happened.

[BitterSyd]

I think we’re going to see points go up on both sides but will never bet against bye week Andy Reid, especially when Cam Sutton and Emmanuel Mosley are the starting corners for the team Reid is facing.

I’m sure Chauncey Gardner-Johnson is hyped for this one, but he’s gonna lose his second straight to the Chiefs.

Doubt you'll see a lot of Moseley. Stupid to throw him out there so soon IMO. Instead, it will be Jacobs, in which doesn't give me a warm fuzzy. Hopefully the deep rotation of the Dline will give Mahomes fits. I pray, at least...

[BitterSyd]

Where in south KC is your family. Welcome to the board.

Family in Iola & Lawrence, they are my tour guides at Arrowhead.

I doubt that. Very hard to give Mahomes fits, plus the Oline (barring injury) will be even better than last year. I like the Lions and hope they have a great season. They could always win this game, and if they do it will definitely be an upset. But just like Philly last year in the SB, the Lions haven't seen a team or QB like this in a long while.

Should have beaten fucking Josh Allen last Thanksgiving. Just sayin'.

Correct, and I was pulling for you all to do just that for selfish seeding reasons. KC is not Buffalo though. They won the SB last year starting or having 8 rookies play significant minutes. Let's not discount just how much of a difference that makes. This same team that won the SB didn't even lose anyone of significance. They will be tough again.

[duncan_idaho]

Josh Allen ain’t Mahomes.

The Bills OL isn’t as good as last year’s Chiefs OL and sure as hell not as good as this one.

And Ken fucking Dorsey isn’t close to Matt Nagy, let alone Andy Reid, as a play designer and playcaller.

[BitterSyd]

Fully aware Mahomes is #1. Just amped to see how we respond. This is all new stuff to us. You remember, when you were shit for so long.

Not a shot, well maybe...lol

[BitterSyd]

Oh, crap. I typed "lol".

Credibility shot to shit...

[mr. tegu]

Talking about almost beating Allen is still way better then Eagles fans talking up their defense after beating Jones and whatever that was the 49ers threw out there when trying to convince people they would slow down Mahomes.

Personally, I have high hopes for DET this season. other than Week 1, I hope the Lions have a great year.

For Week 1, I sincerely hope the game is very competitive. DET and their fanbase need to see a solid performance against the SB champs. Would be a good start to their season.

[ReLion]

Chris Jones is pretty significant. JuJu was your leading wideout. Team still a very good team, but everyone has significant roster loses year to year.

[duncan_idaho]

Chris Jones’ status is still uncertain but yes, a major loss if he doesn’t play (and less than his usual form even if he does).

I know Smith-Schuster is a name, but don’t be surprised when one of Skyy Moore/Rashee Rice/Richie James fills the role and targets he got and is better than him.

He was productive for KC, but it was less about him being physically impressive and more about him filling the role in the offense, being schemes open, and having a solid feel against zone coverage.

[Hog Rider]

Yeah, Pat is just gonna have to make sure we win this game 45-30 or so.

I know the Lions are gonna put up points on us, they were going to w/ Jones in the mix, but that will just make Pat go even harder into god mode.

[Pablo]

I do like Dan Campbell and I will actively seek to watch Lions games this year and I don't know that I've done that ever. Aside from the thanksgiving stuffing we usually get

We were just that way in the playoffs for the most part. A good number here don't remember the awful Chiefs teams of the 70's until Marty. It's all good and you have reason to be optimistic. The Lions looked good the second half of last year and appear to be the front runner for the NFCN this year. Excited to see how they perform in prime time.

[tredadda]

Chris Jones is pretty significant. JuJu was your leading wideout. Team still a very good team, but everyone has significant roster loses year to year.

Not having Jones will hurt no doubt, especially against that offense. I can't imagine there is no plan B with no Jones. He could have been at camp and suffered a season ending injury and we would still be in the same spot.

JuJu did his job here, but is not a loss.
Mecole was a fast, gimmick player
Orlando "I-57" Brown Jr being gone is an addition by subtraction.
Same for Wylie, except Juwan Taylor is an upgrade.
Thornhill was solid, but not a huge loss.
Frank Clark is the biggest name loss and he was cut. He's the Tasmanian Devil in the playoffs, but a TeleTubbie in the regular season.

KC really is returning a huge portion of the roster that won a SB, without Tyreek. They will be a tough game every week.

[rfaulk34]

That’s a normal welcome to CP. And he’s one of the nicer ones.

Please forgive us. We used to be friendlier when fans of opposing teams who have been hapless in the same way that we were pre-Mahomes would show up. But then Bengals fans came around a couple seasons ago and we welcomed them with amusement, only for that team to become the most obnoxious and arrogant and their fans to follow.

I find it hard to believe anyone could ever truly hate the Detroit Lions. So we wish you well outside of the opener.

Lions can’t put up 30 points on us. Without that number, no chance.

Win by 6 with a garbage time TD by Lions.

I'm telling yall Ross/Rice are in their plans... Nagy is going to have us going 4 Wide ALOT I think.

Maybe even some 4 wide 1 te sets. We are 100% going to stretch defenses out even more this year.

I think this is why they let Brown leave. They knew he was ass in pass pro. If we have 3/4 WR on the field running different route trees someone is going to open up 2-5 seconds each play. I do think we see more delayed handoff/wheel routes from RB's this year too.

I talked myself into it... Mahome is going to set all time TD/Passing Yards record this year and win back to back MVP's

[BleedingRed]

Yeah but not alot go 4 wide with a TE that is also a WR basically. Defenses are not going to have 5 guys who can keep up with these groups every play.

[BEAVER]

Defense is much better than its record last year would indicate. Over the last 10 games points against went down to 21 per. Lots of players got healthy and rookies stepped up. This off-season the entire secondary save one safety was upgraded, and that was the weakness. And the one safety retained was a rookie last year, and was super good. D line is loaded with pass rushers. LB corps is stacked. Biggest question mark is DT and run defense.

They won't be a top 5 unit, but I expect top 12-15. Which is good enough if the offense can repeat its top 5 performance. I expect some regression there, but the team is built to compete with anyone. The Champs in Arrowhead is a tall task. KC should rightly be favored, but the game will be competitive. Throw in typical early season variance and I wouldn't be shocked to see an upset.

How many points did they give up to Geno Smith last year? Asking for a friend.

[BEAVER]

Now there are Lions fans all of sudden?

I've only ever met one lion fan in real life. These guys have to be Mults.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Excellent post. Goff is fake news.

He just BARELY eclipsed Matty Cassel and the 2010 fraud Chiefs. 29-7 instead of 27-7

Allen? He said you've never faced a QB like Mahomes and that definitely includes him

[BEAVER]

Still more than Charger fans.

I work with one of those. He doesn't say much - just drools a lot and mumbles about always going for it on fourth down.

Chenal ahead of Tranquill . pleasant surprise

[Megatron96]

So, apparently their DC is Aaron Glenn, a coach right off the Fangio/Parcells tree. However, in DET land, they say he likes to run a lot of man, single high S. So not a lot of two-high shell. Of course, I'll bet a stack of hundreds as tall as me that he tries to disguise his looks often, but he's going to run a lot of man, probably.

So this might be a better test than I originally thought, especially if they try to jam our WRs a lot. Should be a good test to start the season.

Decent analogy, nothing really to debate. Just like to add that we are so young and deep on D, we don't even know what to expect, especially in your house. This D is totally different from the first half of last season. Sure it will be heavy rotation on all three levels. If we are still in it in the fourth quarter, I'll feel pretty good.

I'm pretty sure it'll be a close game. If I bet the game, I'd probably pick the under. A lot depends on just how physical your DL/OL play, imo. If they come out firing, the way they did in the couple games i saw last season (sometime after Week 14?), they'll be a tough out for KC. Your guys were really violent at the snap in those games. Was fun to watch.

[Rainbarrel]

Widening the gap in the score, is not normally an Andy Reid allowance

[RunKC]

I didn't realize that Jared Goff has never played at Arrowhead before. It's the only stadium he hasn't played in.

I think it'll be high scoring, especially if Jones isn't in there. Goff looked like a legit QB for the first time in a long time towards the end of last year, and if we can't pressure him without blitzing they're gonna score on us. Could end up being a shootout.

[Stryker]

Lions have probably one of the better Olines in the NFL. With JG and Amon St whatever the fuck this team is projected to win their division over GB, MINN and Chicago. I think we will win but it will be very close like the last preseason game against the Stains.

[HC_Chief]

Vermeil Chiefs. These guys can score a shitload of points, but will give up same/more. Best case scenario for Detroit in this game: high scoring shootout. Worst case: KC boat race.

Ah, yeah, I agree. I had a brainfart; i meant I'd bet DET to cover, not the Under. If CJ doesn't play, I have a feeling it's going to be a little bit of a shootout. Maybe even if he does; he probably isn't in game shape yet.

I’ll stick with the trends of Mahomes in 5 opening day starts:

121/167 (avg 72.5% completion percentage)
1542 yards (avg 308.4 ypg)
18 TDs (avg 3.6 TDs per game)
0 INTs
Passer Rating: 136.86

Chiefs - 189 (avg 37.8ppg)
Oppo - 124 (avg 24.8ppg)

Let's hope we don't play with a "SB hangover" against these guys because the Lions 'will run on us'(with success) I assure you especially with CJ being out. They have nothing to lose and everything to play for to spark their 'rise from the cellar' tour. Just saying.:shrug:

[Megatron96]

DET has some pretty nice offensive weapons, they say they've dramatically improved their secondary, and they think they have a top-5 OL. Without CJ, this Lions team is kind of built to play a team like ours.

Fortunately, it's a non-conference game, so a loss isn't that big of a deal. We were going to probably lose 3-4 games anyway, CJ or no.

Watched a few DET preseason highlight reels. Saw something i haven't seen this year anywhere else.

DET played press man complete with jams across the board, a lot. In preseason. So this will be a great test for our new WR room, if they come out playing like that.

other notes: LB play was okay, not great. But I admit I wasn't sure which LBs were 1s and which weren't in many clips. resolution was kind of grainy zoomed in.

DET didn't seem that good vs. the run.

They seem to have a fleet of very fast play-makers.

Just checked: Goff was 3rd in the NFL last season vs. the blitz. That seems like a typo to me, as I remember him being kind of shitty vs. the blitz back in 2019. But everyone's reporting that he was the 3rd best QB vs. the blitz last year.

[smithandrew051]

Without Jones, the Lions have a good chance of keeping the game within 40

[Chiefshrink]

Every team attempts to keep Pat on the sidelines as much as they can with the run and the Lions will be successful against us with the run. Lions will be no different because Campbell knows he does not want to get into a track meet against Pat in Arrowhead on opening night although Goff did win their last track meet when he was in LA. But that was when Pat was much less experienced yet Pat dang near pulled that one out. Apples to oranges now. It forces Pat to be more perfect on just about every possession but not against the Lions. If we don't turn the ball over and execute on offense our defense just has to be mediocre and we should win as Meck says.:thumb:

Yeah, Andy has been scheming new stuff all off-season. He likes to test drive the new concepts in week 1 to make sure they are good with the new personnel. Then he wraps them up and puts them away for critical situations and the playoffs. Week 1 is the one week all year when we can count on seeing a good portion of the play book.

He’s also downplaying the Charger game when Mahomes won AFC Offensive Player of the Week in his second career (first meaningful) start.

Derrick Nnadi is my favorite player this week.

Sounds like Ross will be active so we could probably see all 7 WR's active

Who will be inactive? The guys they claimed after cuts? I think Morris will be inactive most of the year. Maybe Allegretti or Calliendo.

And, sounds like they have a plan to have him be active going forward. Toub doesn't like to move guys on and off teams.

I'm officially pumped for this game.

The Toney news made me feel so much better about the Chris Jones situation.

If we're going to be without CJ for several weeks, the offense is going to have to score a lot of points, and with the new OT's, Toney, and the rest of the young weapons, they can absolutely do that.

Of course, Toney has to actually stay healthy now, but as it stands today, I feel much better going into the season without CJ reporting than I did a week ago.

Sneed being ready to go helps as well.
