Well that's awesome. I guess it was a minor high ankle sprain or misdiagnosed.

Hali (rest), Barrington, Ehinger, and Reid not practicing

Ehinger still not practicing? I thought that I read somewhere that he was better and expected to play Sunday? Also, what happened to Reid?

Wow. Great news about LDT.

how much will Charles be used?

This, yes. Plus.. so long as the KC rushing TDs are top 10 like they have been since Smith arrived three yrs ago.. I don't give a shit who is scoring them.

So apparently Charles is ready to play, but they're being careful with him. This situation getting weird to anyone else?

So the rain...gonna be really wet. I'm actually thinking that favors KC. Neutralize some of the Jets advantage with playmakers. Thoughts?

Nah, it's gonna go the other way. If it's that wet, we're gonna have to run the ball more against taht DL.

Doesn't sound like an ideal situation.

Why? Snap count is best for guys coming back from these injuries. We want to make sure he's 100% 2 months from now with no lingering injuries.

We also want him to be 100% effective. Splitting carries with Ware and lining up as a receiver is far better than giving him 20+ carries every game

He's been practicing and was taken off the PUP like a month and a half ago, yet he's still not ready?

I don't understand why they didn't PUP him from the beginning.

As I recall, Andy said Reid had both ankle and knee issues. Neither sounded horrible, but apparently bad enough to skip practice.

It hurts our pass rush.

Our only hope is a solid pass rush and turnovers.

I think they should hold off one more game..coming back from a knee injury on a wet slick field doesn't seem like the best way to start up

Yes. It almost feels like they don't want him on the field.

Sounded to me lik Andy was leaning towards giving Charles another week off. And, with our other RBs playing well, I don't see this as a big issue.

Ware is averaging about 150 TYPG. I'm all about getting Charles back, but Ware and West have been really good.

They could have PUP'ed him, let him have 6 more weeks, then brought him back without taking up a roster spot. I'm guessing they thought he'd be back by now though, so it doesn't really matter.

I'd prefer to hold him out.

All our division games are late in the year.

Get healthy and make a run...

Reid refuses to use Ware as he should be.

He can do it all.

On 3rd/4th and short don't get cute. Don't use motion. Just put in the FB and let Ware beast out the 1st down...

People keep talking about this and while true, I'm not sure I agree with it.

Games early are just as important and they don't need to dig a hole again like last year. I'm all about playing well going in to the playoffs, but you've gotta win to get there.

If they limp in at 3-4 or worse thru the first couple months, they're in big trouble.

Make a run for what? Shittier draft position?

Also, if it's gonna be wet weather wise, I'd consider sitting Wilson and activating DAT. Quick guys on a wet turf can wreck havoc.

If we don't make the playoffs the HB position won't be to blame...

If completely healthy this team has the second most talent in the AFC.

I'd argue only the Bengals have more.

Winning this division will absolutely depend on the last 8 games...

No, but with the offense shitting off the wheels, they could use all the help they can get. Charles could help.

Reid refuses on settling on an identity on offense.

That's on him.

We have the talent. Even DV knew when to abandon an ideal for the talent he had on hand.

It's time for Reid to do the same...

He told Andy on Sunday that he was not ready to play.

I don't find it weird, at all. He's 29 years old, had surgery 11 months ago and still isn't trusting his knee.

I hope he can take a few snaps against the Steelers but if he can't, oh well.

You're such a ****ing moron it is unbelievable. One road loss to a playoff team and our season is over?

You and the rest of Clays minions are even worse, and somehow more stupid, than he is.

Better to hold him out until he's 100%.

Even if Charles was 100% I'd prefer a 50% Charles/25% Ware/25% West usage...

It just seems if they're gonna be this careful with him, they could have saved taht roster spot for month.

Per Ed Werder

@TylerGreenSB @PFF Have been told it will be RB by committee even when Charles returns

For whom?...

If true, good...

As it should be.

We should use Charles/Ware the same way Cincy uses Hill/Bernard.

:clap:

They need to use all of them someway.

Yea, I should've mentioned some West sprinkled in.

I believe this is right on.id also run the wheels off ware , lot of talent that's not being used as it should.I think I seen that he only had six Carries last week and that's not enough .He did fumble once big deal, he normally does t put it on th e ground

I know it's week 3, but this is getting pretty close to being a must win game. Tough latch up in pitt next week, going into the bye 1-3 is no bueno.

Reid is a great HC.

He's a HORRIBLE OC...

This is a must win game.

Proven by last year's 5 game losing streak...

He's not a horrible Offensive Coordinator, he's just not a great play caller.

He's horrible in every aspect.

If "his people" are calling the plays it makes it even worse.

There is a complete disconnect from what does or doesn't work on the field and the play calling...

Total crap the Jets are.

He can't manage a game as a coordinator or a head coach. He should have done what he did against SD in the New England playoff game, but he didn't. Maybe he's learning from his mistakes? Finally?

No, clearly not...

This is not last years schedule nor team. You think we will run off ten straight then your insane. We need this win to go 2-2 because we are not winning in Pitt.

We both have a better team then last year and will be getting more healthy instead of less.

We should be stronger late this year than we were last year and more experienced.

**** yeah I expect more...

But how many times has KC, or any team for that matter, turned it around like last year? That was far from the norm for any team. I wouldn't say this is a "must win" for the season, but lose this one, then it's off to Pittsburgh, where 1-3 is staring you right in the face. So, looking at that, this is a "must win" to not be on the path to 1-3 and sliding...

Yeah, he's got balls like raisins.

I'd be willing to bet they both play, but even one being out would be huge.

They won't be close to 100% either way

You assume.

J....E....T.....S.......

Jets!! Jets!!! Jets!!!

FWIW, the vast majority of 'experts' on ESPN, CBS, and other football networks are picking us to win. 65% at the moment to be exact.

The outside perspective seems to see things a little brighter for us than some on here.

So agree with this.. and have wanted it for 3 and counting yrs now, regardless of the RB.

The Chiefs have a top 5 FB in the League, and still insist on utilizing him for 10? snaps a game?

and why? so we can have an average TE2 or WR3 like Albert Wilson on the field? :shake:

is that you, Clay or SDH?

Berry didn't practice with swollen knee today and Charles looks like he is out again. Weather may be a factor for Jamaal still out.

I'm tiring of this injury business. Just keep Charles out until after the bye week. There, done. Next problem?

NFL players are never injured.

It's just the Chiefs way.

Maybe the rain will help remind Andy to get Ware more touches?

Interesting fact, Andy Reid and Alex Smith in their careers have never lost a game to the Jets.

Andy Reid was 6-0 versus the Texans.

Before last Sunday.

That's because of our high scoring, vertical passing offense.

Good point, but the Chiefs beat themselves more than anything. If the Chiefs continue to turn the ball over and start half their drives 1st and 20 like they did last week they will most likely lose. Clean that shit up and they should be fine.

Hi guys,

I'm flying over from the UK to attend our away game against the jets in New York on 12/03/17.

I had a few questions and wondered if anyone could assist. This is my first 'away' NFL match and being a big football (sorry, soccer) fan, I know the US go about these games differently.

1. I know that home and away fans sit together at NFL games, however, is there a way I can book tickets through the Chiefs to ensure I sit with some Chiefs fans? I've looked on the usual Ticketmaster, seat wave etc. and I have found some great end zone seats available but would prefer to sit and chat with some Chiefs.

2. Has anyone been to MetLife as an away fan? Am I ok to wear colours? I wouldn't dream of wearing colours to an away game in the UK, but believe the culture is different in the US? Obviously I would be respectful to those home fans around me as well as accepting I am going to be a target for some 'banter' from Jets fans.

3. Is the game at risk of being moved? In the UK, they have a habit of moving games purely for TV coverage at the last minute. Thankfully being a supporter of a average League 1 side, I'm not effected by this!

It is currently scheduled for 1pm E.T on 12/03/17. I fly out on 12/01/17 so if the game is moved to the Thursday, I'm screwed.

Really appreciate your help in advance.

The Jets look like they will be one of the worst teams in the league this year. By December there should be tons of seats available.

In general at Jet games you can wear opposing team colors, but be respectful. By December their spirits should be completely broken and they will be having Christmas wishes for a QB in round one.

They won't move the game.

If I go to the game I will pm you and maybe we can get a group to meet up.

1. I've never heard of choosing who you sit with in terms of fans. Maybe some places do it, but not that I've seen.

2. You should be fine wearing Chiefs gear at a Jets game. If you aren't an asshole you shouldn't find yourself in any danger of getting in a fight. It's much easier to get in trouble at Broncos or Raiders games. Even then you really have to encourage things to get in a fight.

3. You never know, but I'd be surprised if the game was flexed to a primetime game. We have 6 prime time games already this year. Getting flexed to a 7th would be pretty crazy. Also, the Jets look to be really bad this year and usually the games that get flexed are ones where both teams are relevant or something in on the line like a division lead or HFA. As far as I know they can also only change the game to later that day and make it a night game. I don't think flex rules allow them to change a game from Sunday to Thursday.

Have fun!

Thank you both Chiefnj2 & prhom! Really appreciated.

Looking forward to my first ever Chiefs game!

Correct, game can't move DAYS absent some crazy weather or some other extraordinary event. Only thing that can be flexed is the time of the game.

And given that the Jets are unquestionably going to suck, there is approximately a 0.000000000000000001% chance of that game being flexed to a different start time.

Heard good things about the stadium. I assume you know it's "across the river" in New Jersey, not in New York City itself. Not a big deal to get there, I'm sure, though I haven't done it myself. Have fun!

I've been to the Meadowlands complex hundreds of times for Devil games and football games. The Meadowlands is a pretty easy place to access with a car. Will be traffic getting in on gameday but not too bad.

As for colors, you will be fine. Been to about 5 Jets games and 4 Giants games. Jets fans are far worse than Giants fans with giving away teams crap but they are even worse at giving their own team crap.

A lot of Jets fans want them to lose at this point to get a QB anyway. Trust me they will be too busy yelling at their own team come December to care at all about the Chiefs fans. I have gotten a lot of grief from Jets fans in the past but if you only cheer on your team and aren't obnoxious you will be fine.

If you wait I would imagine you will get tickets for less than $40 easy. That's my plan. Get the Giants tickets now and the Jets tickets in November.

I'm just impressed a thread about the Jets has 16 pages...

Joe Namath predicted that it would. :)

**** the jets.

Sorry if Q.
