The Chiefs picking up where they left off.

The Chiefs picking up where they left off.

32 rushes/32 passes if I'm reading right. I can't remember the last time Andy Reid didn't throw more than he ran. Must have wanted to take the new player out for an extended test drive.

- CEH looked like a beast
- Sammy Watkins with his typical early-season heroics
- Mecole Hardman owners have to be disappointed, he was barely on the field.
- Brandin Cooks wasn't 100%, but he still disappeared after the 1st qtr
- If only Will Fuller can stay healthy....
- The Texans may make pundits look stupid with their post-trade assessment

Dear Bill O'Brien,

Let me explain how football works.

If you have 3rd and long at the Chiefs 33-yard line and almost a minute left in the first half, it's critical that you gain some yardage because you have a so-so field goal kicker.

If you don't, you risk a missed 51-yarder, giving the Chiefs excellent field position - and plenty of time for them to add another score.

Signed,
Everyone who has watched football for a few years.

............

yes, these stupid coaches already have me ordering people off my lawn.

Nah, I don't think Butker can make one from the opposite 33-yard line. That's not excellent field goal position. It's like a 84 yard attempt once you include the 7 yards back from the LOS. I doubt he'd have much chance of making that.

I fixed my errant word (although the point was obvious to all but the densest of readers).

It was a post in jest man, get over yourself.

emojis are your friend.

It wasn't blatantly obvious to you? I said I "doubt" he'd have a chance at an 84 yard field goal, as if there were any chance at all. All in jest. Geez, it wasn't that hard to comprehend that I was just kidding with you.

Again, get off the high horse.

I came for the Week 1 commentary and stayed for the grammar fights.

Good point. This is strictly business guys, no joking around or poking fun at each other, we've got some serious football takes going on.

You can take the grammar war to the unofficial thread. I think that's one of the main reasons I created it.

[Pauly]

Just saw a post that the air quality in Santa Clara, Calif., is so bad right now they may have to cancel the SF/ARI game.

If that happens - heck if it is even a possibility - why on earth would they not just flip/flop the SF-ARI game venues, since they play twice? It's not like there was going to be a packed stadium or something. Or is that just too common sense for 2020?

49ers WR Deebo Samuel (foot) is out for Week 1.
