First Game of the Season! Patriots vs Chiefs Thread

another flag for the kicker

So if you run into the kicking leg it's 5 yards...if you run into both legs it's 5 yards...if you run into only the plant leg it's 15 yards. So if you decapitate a mother fugger but don't hit his plant leg all by itself you're good...got it.

Only because you look for it. Holding on every play. 

I said blatant holding...the obvious calls that don't get flagged...

Game is setting up for either a 4th quarter beatdown by the Patriots or another game winning drive for Brady. I've seen this story before.

Why do the Cheifs insist on running it out of the endzone against the Pats? They put teams in the worst starting field position out of anyone last season. They WANT you to run it out

For a guy he only throws dump off passes, Smith sure does have a lot of long TD passes tonight.

It is clearly a good strategy by the Pats to not kick it through the end zone. Players are just conditioned to return it. Last year, a lot of teams experimented with not kicking it through the end zone. It seems to be a smart play even with the odd chance of giving up a return.

He also has some serious speed at WR and RB this year.
