NFL Season - 2023
-
New season starts Thu night on Amazon prime time.
A lot to look forward to this year.
How will Jets fare with Aaron Rogers? Will Jordan Love prove his worth?
What about 49ers?
Justin Fields is getting a lot of media love?
Will Denver make playoffs with Sean Payton as new HC?
How will Chiefs fare without Chris Jones and no star WR?
It begins on Thu night.

@AsadZ and kelce’s knee hyperextended!
-
@AsadZ Streaming will be the death of sports fandom among older people.
-
Apple TV is making record profit on MLS streaming, thanks to Lionel Messi.
-
Any Lions fans on this board?
-
Who are the teams you root for besides the Chiefs? This question is not about who you want to win for playoff spot jockeying…just who has players, history, fans, city, coach, or something that makes you get a kick out of seeing them do well.
Mine is Jacksonville. Have enjoyed watching Lawrence come along so well (despised his first ass-hat coach). Despite the fact that he looks like Central Casting’s candidate for a role as an Elf in a Lord of the Rings movie.
-
I don’t have a particular team who I root for although I root for underdogs.
I also root for individual players especially Jayhawks in the NFL which has been scarce.

#GameDay!!!
#BeatLions
I get to watch the game on my local NBC channel. I haven’t seen it advertised on Amazon Prime.
-
Yup, weird, but 100% not on Prime this week.
Amazon, with Prime Video, will be broadcasting Thursday Night Football once again. Yet the first game of the NFL season — the Detroit Lions and Kansas City Chiefs — isn’t on Amazon.
Why is that? Well, for one: It’s on NBC and Peacock. And why is that? Because they have the honors of doing the opening game of the season.
TNF will be back on Prime Video starting in Week 2, with the Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles facing off. Their schedule will run all the way through Week 17.
-
I have been reading several quotes on Lions and they appear to be legit, potent offense and improved defense.
With Kelce out this game will be tough.
Who will step up tonight.
-
Noah
-
I’ll accept any WR or TE combination! Even CEH!
Rumor has it that the Lions are susceptible to runs up the gut. So, could be a good set up for CEH.
-
Ugh D!
-
Rice caught it! Gonna wear mahomes out tonight
-
Lions over 100 receiving yards already
-
Rice again!
-
Bell dozer
-
Chris Jones like it?
-
Well, this sucks. I have a lot to complain about
-
CEH lookin tough. So rough
-
Toney, just off
-
@BShark let it rip
-
I’m dying at Taylor cheating his arse off every play and still getting rekt
-
Drop drop tip it up and let them pic it off. Pat was po’d
-
Extremely frustrating game for Chiefs fans, too many drops and costly mistakes.
Short yardage play calling was awful.
On a bright side, D stepped by giving only 14 pts.
-
WR corps is wretched. Toney is not game ready. Rice’s hands are stone like, but not at bad as Toney’s!!!
-
@dylans He had missed pretty much all preseason camp and games. I blame staff.
-
@AsadZ He should not have been on the field, but timing doesn’t have much to do with (3) drops. Just a horrid game. I’m not mad a Veach for the 3rd and 6th round picks, what Toney did in the SB was worth the picks alone.
-
After sleeping off that opening day loss…
— are the Chiefs ruining the Patrick Mahomes Super Bowl window by faking it with this oddball WR crew?
IMO: he needs a few dependable receivers he can trust. Spend the money, Veach!
— what was the deal with the RB approach last night? I’m confused. I thought Pacheco was RB1? How on Earth did the stiff as a board CEH get involved so much?
IMO: Jonathan Taylor for Chris Jones? Ha
— Andy Reid. Hmmm. Some oddball play calling and decision making last night? Or was that regular Reid?
IMO: I probably would have done the same on those fourth down calls. You?
-
Am I the only one who thought / thinks / will always think that Reid is a dumbass for not going for fourth and TWO on the Lion’s 22 yard line and opted to kick a meaningless field goal?
-
@nuleafjhawk no I thought it was a bad decision. So is taking the ball out of Mahomes hands on 3rd down.
-
@dylans I understand the “philosophy” of not playing starters all the time during the pre-season. I don’t agree with it, but I understand it. I mean you don’t want Kelce getting hurt in a pre-season game, right? But it’s ok to hurt his knee in practice. My point being, they’re going to play 17+ games anyway. If they’re serious about making a deep run in the post season, they should be serious about getting a rhythm, a system down in the pre-season. None of the Chiefs looked like they’d ever played before. I didn’t research it, but I’ll bet the Lions starters played more than 1 set of downs in the pre-season. Practice makes perfect.
-
Toney and Pacheco had surgery in the off season. Didn’t know til close til game whether they were playing. Sneed has had a bum knee for quite awhile. I liked what toney gave us last yr, gonna be patient. Hmmm hard!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I like how you think. Remember, this is the same board that has come to firm conclusions about the Jayhawks’ lack of success in the upcoming season, and absolutist opinions about the limited ceilings of some players, based on the PR trip.
-
@nuleafjhawk Andy Reid’s pre-season camp at St Joes is notoriously difficult. It’s not lack of preparation. - preseason games have fringe guys flying around trying to make a roster. I’m fine with the way it went down. Toney had knee surgery after getting injured the first day of training camp. He will improve. Skyy Moore I’m concerned about. - Veach needs to figure out how to draft a quality WR quickly.
-
Veatch seems to have better scouts on D, recall picking Bolton, Gay, Sneed, Watson, Williams, Trent, George, Cook etc
Chiefs D with the exception of DL is young and deep.
He hasn’t had same success on Offense except for couple of OL in Creed and Smith who fell down due to injury concerns.
-
Chiefs??
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Wish they had a receiver.
-
I’ll take this ugly W.
But they better start taking care of the damn football.
-
Shout out to D for showing up Big.
Thankful for seeing Jones back in action.
-
The Chiefs defense looked solid today bending and not breaking. Not sure if Kelce is dating Swift or not but his attitude is in the gutter. Good news for KC fans is the west looks like hot garbage and they should still take the division.
-
@kjayhawks she was there, so I heard.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Does that count as continuing her amazing streak of sellouts in her appearances?
-
Data from another article:
Chiefs D for first two games under Spags:
First 4 Seasons:
23.25 points per game allowed 399.4 yards per game allowed 136.6 rushing yards per game allowed (5.1 YPC) 40% third down conversions allowed
Now here is what the Chiefs have allowed through two games this season. 15.0 points per game allowed 319.5 yards per game allowed 82.0 rushing yards per game allowed (4.0 YPC) 29.6% third down conversions allowed
-
@AsadZ was 74 on the team last yr? His novel idea of timing the count isn’t working!
-
Gotta figure it out with Chris Jones, he was dominant yesterday.
-
@BShark
🥰

@Crimsonorblue22 74/Taylor was a jaguar last year. 20 million a year for that performance. Yowza

Karma? Playing football in summer can be cruel. He’s trying to shake off an injury. Maybe there is some bad blood? Don’t blame me, I knew he was trouble.
-
@dylans lmao I was hoping to some of this!
