I think this is the first KC game in a while where I can just sit back and relax.

More than anyone I hope they rest Poe.

going to be brutal.

I think i'll flip back and forth, won't be able to stomach the entire game.

If they are going to rest very many starters then they might as well rest them all.

@adamteicher: No sense in playing Smith with a bunch of backups. So I wqould expect Daniel to start, play a lot. Maybe Bray gets in late

The Booger show

I'm fine with Teichers tweet, the depth guys need the tuneup before next week.

Looking forward to seeing many of them in extended action... can Chase look decent? will Hemingway or Jenkins step up? is Catapanos pass rush as good as i hope? will Powe know where to line up? is Bray the greatest of all time, or just kinda awesome?

All questions that will be answered today...

:hump::hump::rockon::rockon::grovel:

Bob Dole would bet money that Sandy Eggo goes the first half without a penalty called against them.

:rockon: Chase

Get ready for 120 yards passing and 2 ints.

Halftime

Miami down 14-7

Baltimore down 17-6
