Eric Fisher injured Friday [but is ACTIVE for Oakland]

[chiefforlife]

Eric Fisher T, Kansas City Chiefs
Coach Andy Reid told reporters Friday that Chiefs LT Eric Fisher suffered a groin injury during practice Friday.

Fisher is expected to be listed on the teams' official injury report later this afternoon. He allowed just two pressures on 41 snaps in pass protection in Week 1 and finished 2018 as PFF's No. 26 overall offensive tackle among 62 qualified players. Potentially being without your LT is never ideal, but the Chiefs are still set up brilliantly this week against the Raiders' anemic secondary.

Irving is decent depth on the inside but he is a major problem at tackle, this has been shown time and again. Rankins may suck as well for all I know but he may be the best option. Regardless it’s all about play calling if fisher is out and you want Mahomes to make it through the season.

Rankins will get Pat KILLED. He was the absolute worst of the Texans O-Lineman. He was not going top make the team, so they traded him to us for a guy who was not going to make our team. Hyde will help the Texans more than Rankin will help KC, IF he stays the same player that he was in Houston. I don't want him anywhere near Mahomes.

Spare me any bullshit about clock management.

That was Pat, not Andy.

I watched Arizona State play this afternoon and got a good reminder about Herm and "circus offenses"

I think one of Herms own players slipped on Herms jizz when the score was 3 to zip in the 4th quarter.

It’s really ****ing petty to bitch about clock management in that game.

Was it also on Andy that Pat missed a wide open Williams in the 1st half?

Well, we beat the Rams regardless if Scandrick, or however you spell his name, makes the INT, that was right in his hands, in the 4th qtr. It was a for sure pick 6, but a game winner regardless if he just caught the damn thing.

If you can go multiple games without noticing your left tackle then he is better than average. Without his dumb penalties, Fisher can go a long time without getting noticed.
If he was more aggressive he would be damn good. Fisher is too passive, wish he would play pissed off all the time. Ask JJ Watt what Fisher is like when he's pissed.

Gotta keep the scoring record going.

Any updates?

Pat was a first year starter. He was barely in the league for 20 months while Andy has been in the league for over 20 years. And Pat more than made up for his struggles in the first half with that amazing drive with 30 something seconds left to send the game to OT.

Look..if our defense is like last week and is not able to stop anyone from passing the ball at will, we need to have the intention of running the ball with our offense for a play or two to win the game.

2:54 left in that game at the Pats 40. We scored in 2 plays. That’s great, but we need to be more aware of the situation. That literally happened in the loss n NE where we scored fast and then the Pats used the rest of the clock to run it out to win on the last play.

Andy should have ran a few running plays to burn the clock. Put the ball in Pat’s hands to decide the game, not the defense. Force the Pats to burn timeouts. Who cares if it’s a no gain on first down? The offense can score from 40 yards in 2 plays. We really don’t think they can get 10 in 3 plays?

If the defense is like last year (hopefully it’s not), Andy needs to play it smart at the end.

I don’t want the game in the defenses hands praying they won’t **** it up. I want the game in the hands of our amazing QB.

You can’t just choose when you score when you have to score. It doesn’t work like that and anybody that thinks it does is a ****ing moron. If we run the ball for no gain or negative yardage and it kills the drive, you’d be bitching about that.

This offense scored 31 points in the 2nd half and went 40 yards in 2 plays for a TD.

We could do whatever we wanted on offense and the Patriots knew it

I had a dream last night he played.

Take that for what it's worth

[UChieffyBugger]

I'm expecting him to play tbh. Reports suggest he was laughing and joking in the locker rooms after the last training session so I would imagine it was merely a tweak. If he's not feeling good then rest him and let Allen play there. See how he fairs in the first three or so drives and if things aren't going to well then just make Pat get the ball out quicker and utilise the run game a little more...simple.
