Nah, I think it'll be a pretty competitive game. Maybe something like 30-20.

Correct. The refs helped the Patriots lose that one but honestly I don't think many of us are too bent out of shape about it other than a seeding/record thing. We probably still woulda gotten smoked in the first round, just wasn't our year.

I have the game being competitive in the 1st half maybe even 3 quarters. Something like 17-13 or 20-14 Chiefs and the Chiefs pull away in the fourth. 34-21 kinda score

Absolutely nothing to worry about. This matchup is lopsided, just like the Ravens. There's no reason to worry.

Brian Hoyer is gonna keep a game close against Mahomes and the CHiefs.


Nah.

Wait, is Eastern Airlines a thing? Just saw Pats arrive on one.

In.

2020 has experienced a rip in the space-time fabric. But that's fine. We'll destroy the 1960s-era patriots with their 250 pound linemen and their outdated game plans.

That Kelce fumble may or may not have gone the other way for 6. Reek was right there ready to tackle, if necessary. And if memory serves, that Harry play was argued ad naseum on here. They still had their chances. They were unable to do anything about it. And I also recall Gillmore holding Watkins on a key 3rd down in the first half that was not called.

The only way the Patriots keep this close is if they run 60 times no matter the outcome. If the Chiefs shut down the run this will be ugly.

Sorry, but that's just not the case. What kept the game close enough for the Pats to have a chance in that game last season was Patrick hurting his hand in the 2nd quarter. Mahomes doesn't hurt his hand, and the game would've been out of reach by the end of the 3rd, maybe sooner.

Here's the thing: before Mahomes hurt his hand, he and Andy had scored 17 points on the vaunted Patriots defense in just the 2nd Q. They had figured out Bill after just one quarter. Then fate intervened and Patrick couldn't throw the ball accurately downfield from that point on. If he'd been healthy, they would've just kept scoring until Andy felt safe about the lead. Probably that would've been to carry a 3 score lead into at least the 8 minutes to go in the 4th mark. Something like that.

Point is, that game was never supposed to be close. Before Mahomes injured his throwing hand, they were on pace to score 40+.

It's going to be ugly regardless. The Chiefs just need to score. Running the ball is just going to shorten the game.

It really doesn't matter if the Chiefs can stop the run, unless the offense struggles. And New England doesn't really have a Patriots defense.

This is pretty much it. We're not winning it if Hoyer has to throw more than 20 times. If KC can't stop the run it's gonna be tough. Too bad now they don't have to respect the QB run too, so it should be pretty easy to bottle up NE and force Hoyer to win

I do a 3-2-1.....3 hrs unwrapped / 2 hrs wrapped / 1 unwrapped. I used to sauce them after the last hour, but stopped saucing them for some time because I thought they were better dry....

P.S. I'm EST as well....but 6 hrs on the nose for me....I usually let rest about 30 - 40 mins as well, so we'll be eating prob around 6pm when all is said and done.....I don't like to be eating during the game, only drinking!
