Pros/Cons of opening against the Patriots?
 

I thought is was interesting that Smith was already focusing on playing NE. He said as much in an OTA presser.

Not only is KC playing the SB champs but it is the very first game of the entire season, on the road, on national TV.

I'm curious if this changes the focus/intensity of the team during training camp. Reid seems to start the season a bit slow...

pros - delusions and dreams shattered quickly, 100% confirmation of alex smith's inability to ever win shit

cons - none

Pros - It's a predetermined outcome.

Cons - It's a predetermined outcome.

NFL is rigged.

Pro.. We win
Con... We lose..

Pros - someone goes full Pollard on Smith's knee

Cons - none.

Yes, it is...and the small market Chiefs are their favorite whipping boy.

My post was more alluding to how it affects players/coaches during camp... knowing you start off in a play-off type situation with the whole world watching.

Andy Reid's been 50/50 on game 1.

We got clubbed by the Titans in 2014. We got embarrassed by the terrible Chargers in the first half this year (before pulling off a miraculous comeback in the second half). So on the bright side, think it's 50/50 we'd win against any average to good team. Why not lose to a team we'd have a tough time beating anyway.

Pros - get a loss to the Patriots out of the way early.

Cons - take a loss in the season opener

KC did get knocked out the play-offs the last time they met...so there is that recent history too.

I think its going to be a great game....

You find it interesting that he's focused on the first game that matters, a few months after the franchise spent multiple picks on the QBotF, meaning he's about to be on the outs again.

Yeah, that's totally random and unexpected. And, it's all rigged - why do you give a shit?

Pros: we might win

Cons: we might lose

My Take: we have to play a game to see

No it's a QB driven league. You want favoritism and calls going your way. Get a franchise QB that is marketable....

Or continue to trot out broke dick QBs and suffer the consequences.

I dont disagree with that...if the NFL thinks Mahomes will drive foreign market viewership and build the future of brand...Chiefs will start getting holding calls, in their favor, on game deciding plays.

All the top QBs are about to retire...Titans, Bucs, Colts, Raiders are the teams they will be pushing. They are going to be pimping the Chargers too...they have a new stadium and a major market in play.

I dont much anymore....I like the off-season though. The whole moving chess pieces around is interesting... without the officials/advertising revenue ruining it.

pros - Chiefs beat the defending SB champs week 1 in a meaningless season game

cons - Chiefs lose in the divisional round of the playoffs to a team they should not; as the team they beat week 1 cakewalks to the Super Bowl.

All pro—no cons for me.

Pros: We get to see the Chiefs at (presumably) full strength against the cream of the NFL on a primetime game

Cons: Brady and Belichick are 17-1 in season openers in their time together

Pros: Guessing red pants will hide Alice's shit streaks, We get first crack at making the Madden curse a reality

Cons: Beefed up security preventing a lone gunman from making the Madden curse a reality

Pros: None

Cons: We start the season out with a L

Pros: We whip dat Patriot ass on national tv week 1, 31-17

Cons: Patriots whip dat Chiefs ass in the divisional round of playoffs 42-24

Because Chiefs...

I don't have much faith in an Alex led Chiefs team going into their stadium and getting a win. With New England stocking up in the offseason to win another SB and the Chiefs drafting for the future, hard to believe it will be a different result than a loss.

I can already hear the "miscommunication" excuse coming out of ALex and Andy's mouth as we come out flat and miss many opportunities to score.

It will go something like this...Announcers praise Brady, Hoodie, everything under the sun concerning Pats...oh and tonight they play the Chiefs- who have watched their season end by the Pats....ect.. More Patriot praise.

Game starts...Every topic concerning Pats is dissected ad nausea with barely a whisper Chiefs are even playing. Chiefs look like shit as the Pats start another Historic SB run.

CP blows up how the Chiefs suck, our defense sucks, and how much we hate Alex.

Pats 38 Alice Smiffs 13

This game sends us reeling to a 5 game losing streak to start the season before we pull out enough wins for a Wildcard birth- that ends in a loss.

Con: the Chiefs are going to get absolutely destroyed

Pro: the reaction here will be comedy ​gold

Life is a learning experience

If you wait by the tunnel and dump a cup of your own piss on Tom Brady's head as he takes the field, you can probably get out of jail before the playoffs start.

I give us a 10% chance to win, but I think it'll be competitive. Obviously injuries in the preseason could play a big role. The Chiefs are a better matchup for them than most teams, and maybe any in the AFC right now.

Con- We lose opening game.

Pro- We win our next 15 straight

Ad nausea?

Pros: This will be Smiths first 400 yard passing game

Con: It will also be his last

Pros - maybe they're not ready
Cons - maybe we're not ready

Pro: We win
Con: "What's wrong with the New England Patriots?"

Pros:
18-16 loss with a late penalty to stop a Chiefs comeback win.

Cons:
43-14 asskicking that is over in the first quarter.

Last time we opened there we did the entire league a solid.

Time for Brady to retire.

"We are on to Cincinnati" - Belichick

Alex going to be replaced in the very near future.

And paid for it for years. :sulk:

We are still paying for that.

Instead of punishing the Chiefs how about Bernard Pollard?

Pros: the league gave New England their win last year, which was payback for rolling over against the Peyton Manning farewell tour. New England has zero chance of appearing in the Super Bowl this year.

Cons: the league may want them to start fast so they can build drama.

Pro - Get the hopes of an undefeated season out of the way.

This game just seems like an Alex win. After hearing all the shit being talked about him this offseason and having Pat breathing down his neck, I think KC could pull off a shocker if we go into this game completely healthy. Their running game will be mediocre at best and I don't think their OL is that effective if you put our pass rush at 100% against them.

I've never been intimidated by the pats, I think this team knows they can match up well against them if they play how they are capable of, and Alex comes out aggressive (which for whatever reason he usually does against the Pats).

Pros: The New England Patriots, top to bottom

Cons: Their con offed himself

It's gonna be interesting -and very telling- to see how much energy the Chiefs come out with.

This is a team that's been in the playoffs a lot and the defense was able to keep Pittsburgh in check (to an extent)...but Brady with Cook, Gronk and Edelman just isn't fair.

It's gonna be a fun game to watch. Lots of big time matchups.

Peters on Brandin Cooks
Mitchell on Edelman
Berry on Gronk
Parker watching the deep receiver

Will Chris Jones be on another level?
Will Dee Ford show up?...Houston?...Bailey?...Logan?

Is DJ still alive?

Pros: we beat New England to start the season

Cons: we have to listen to announcers slob on bellichick and Brady balls

Pros: both sides of the ball get to see a true championship squad in action and everybody on KC is going to need to give everything they have to keep up with NE. If they can make it a close game and have a shot to win, that will help the psyche of the team for the rest of the year.

Cons: NE might blow KC out. That's a lot of super star power they have...

Can't beat the Patriots. Bill Belichick has the "Pick of Destiny"

Pros: We get an extra bye essentially to prepare for Philly after an 0-1 start.

Cons: We start 0-1.

We beat them in the regular season a couple years ago ( que the Brady's done memes that followed) and then lost to them in the playoffs. I'd like to hope for winning both this year, but I'll settle for a loss week one this year IF we beat them in the AFC title game......

This teams been such garbage early on in the season that I have no expectations for us. San Diego was raping us until keenan allen went down.

Pros?

What does the Mafia have to say about this game?

Cons: We're starting off the season with a loss
Pros: We'll get a loss out of the way early

Does anyone think Brady at 40 finally falls off a cliff a la Manning and Favre?

He will need a "push" and hopefully Houston can provide that with a blindside hit in the 1st qtr....

Pros: we get exposed as pretenders.

Cons: we pretend we weren't exposed for the rest of the season.

Maybe we can break Tom Terrific again. That would be awesome.

And this time we don't have to worry about signing his overrated horseshit backup as our QBOTF, or another Pats executive who will do everything in his power to dismantle our entire organization.

That's the beauty of the NFL. Every game is full of both pros and cons.

I think it's helpful to get everyone focused.

If you are NE, it's just another game IMO. If you are the Chiefs, its your best opportunity to make a huge statement.

Cons: Aaron Hernandez, Mike Bell, Tamarick Vanover

Prose: Schwartz wrote a cookbook with his brother, Jamaal Charles wrote a book with Sean Jensen (guess who did most of the writing). Patriot rookie Malcolm Mitchell wrote a children's book.

Would you rather the Chiefs have their at New England game in December when they may need to win it to stay alive in a close playoff race or would you rather just get it over with in week one?

I'd rather just get it over with in week one.

Pros: it's the beginning of football season.

Cons: it's the end of baseball season.

Pro: we could beat them in their house in a hard-fought game and set the tone for the season

con: we could beat them in their house and promptly lose he next three games because everyone was so focused on beating the pats they forgot about the eagles, chargers and redskins

Pros: Defense will keep us in the game
Cons: Another week of Alex fans explaining to us why our anemic offense is everyone's fault but Alex's

Pros: This 1 game is really worth 2 when it comes to tiebreakers for home field.

Cons: This 1 game is really worth 2 when it comes to tiebreakers for home field.

Pretty much. Id even put your Pro as get a tough team out of the way early, win or loose, but not have that high probability loss looming down the road at seasons end.

Youd hate to be tied with the Raiders for division /or (Steelers/Colts/etc playoff positioning) in week 17 and you got the Pats on the road and they got some cupcake.

Pros - prime time game.

Cons - we'll get an early picture of what will likely happen if we make the playoffs.

Pro: Maybe it will take NE a couple of games to get all their new pieces in high gear. I think they will get better as the season goes on. KC will be healthier than any time during the season.

Con: Watching this as a Chiefs fan regardless of outcome. The whole the story is always
about the other team ,which in my opinion started with marty's teams esp Monday night games.
This will be magnified in this game.
Look at the time we beat them it was all Brady is done, what's wrong with NE not the chiefs played good.

If AS cant make it happen this year...it never will. I didn't think KC was a very good team last year despite their record. They were waiting on Maclin, Houston and Charles..then the defensive injuries and Smith quit running. Hill saved their season...IMO. I thought the 2015 team was better and had momentum.

This is do or die for Alex...he wont find a better situation for the duration of his career. I'm rooting for him...he's had some shitty luck. If you consider having $100 mill at 33 bad luck...

But rigged?

And most Chiefs fans still pound their chest about that meaningless game.. Hell we had pictures of it in the banner of CP for awhile...

Its pathetic that we celebrate meaningless regular season wins like Denver does AFC and Superbowl games...

Pro: its not a primetime game in Pitt

Con: high chance of losing because of a crappy Amendola-esque cheap shot or comparably questionable play/call.

Pro: If we win, we just walked into prison then took out the toughest guy on our first day.

Con: If we lose, we'll be walking around the prison yard holding onto the inside-out pocket of the toughest guy in prison until the end of the season.

Pro: If we win, we just walked into prison then took out the toughest guy on our first day.

Con: If we lose...Jelly, or Syrup.

Pros: No one expects the Chiefs to win.

Cons: No one expects the Chiefs to win.

Goodell: Kansas City gets national TV because of its fans

Many comments left by other fan bases who just don't get it....

What do those five teams have in common...hmmm...I'll give you a CLUE

Cons: I'll end up having to ban clay for at least a week over his douchebaggery over the game.

Win or lose.

Wait...


That might be a pro to some.

Pro: At least KC gets to get the game out of the way early because they most likely weren't going to beat NE on the road anyways.

Con: It's probably going to be ugly because teams with QB's like Brady and Manning are so much further ahead early in the season than other teams.
