That was the Patriots best shot...KC rolls them in the playoffs

[BlackOp]

Belichick had 10 days to devise something that would confuse Mahomes. It worked for one half of a game. It took an early INT, returned to the Patriots 4, two easy missed TDs, another INT before half and Speaks letting Brady go...just so they could win by 3 points at home. It also took zero penalty yards.

Chiefs were without Berry, Sorenson and Houston.

Chiefs scored 31 points after half...

That was NE's best shot...it's on tape now. It wont fool Mahomes again...

KC is going to roll them in the post-season....

So...if Pats Fan enjoys getting ****ed by the dolphin...is it REALLY "rape", at this point?

I have a hard time believing this 'oh no, here's come that dahlphin again" boolshit when he drops his Patsie girl underroos, hikes that oversized Brady jersey up over his humped back, and grabs his ankles.

Oh yeah, dude...it’s most definitely rape...



If there is a vagina in the mix, then it for sure is rape!!!

Not sure why the need for this comment. It is not like I am here talking trash.
I just wanted to add my two cents.

Fans from other bases are good imo. Trolls from other fan bases, well that is different story.

NE was given a pretty favorable schedule...again. 4 of 6 at home to start and the 2 toughest opponents from the NFC North at Foxborough...GB and Vikings. Playing @GB and @Minnesota would look a little more daunting. 10 days rest to play KC and facing the Chiefs at home in consecutive years..

Two toughest road games are Steelers and Jacksonville...and finish the season with back to back home games against NY/Buffalo.

That's the Manning treatment.

Chiefs have had a brutal early schedule @Chargers, @Pittsburgh, @Denver (Donks were 5-0 in first month games at altitude), @NE, Jacksonville and now the first place Bengals and Rams in Mexico.

It's still hard for me to wrap my head around the fact NE got 0 defensive penalties...against this level of offensive skill players.

For the eleventy billionth time, the NFL schedule is PRE-ESTABLISHED YEARS IN ADVANCE you bozo.

You want the 2022 Chiefs Schedule? Here it is:

https://www.pro-football-reference.c...2-schedule.htm

14 games, including home/away determined. The last two will be games against the team that finishes the prior year in the same place in its division as KC finishes in the AFCW.

Two toughest road games are Steelers and Jacksonville...and finish the season with back to back home games against NY/Buffalo.

That's the Manning treatment.

No, that's you not having a ****ing clue how NFL scheduling works.

It is my understanding that the home away schedule in the conference is preset. I believe it works on a three year cycle. If KC/NE play in years say '16, '17, '18 it will be in NE and '18, '19, '20 it will be KC and so on. It is just a matter if they play in those three years.

I am not positive but it would make sense that it is also preset for inter conference games. So the NFL can not manipulate the home/away. Nor which division a teams plays as that too is on a rotational basis. There are really only two games a team does not play the same as its division mates and those are the two games with respect to the prior years seeding in the division. 1st place AFCE plays 1st AFCW and so on.

With that said though, I agree with you 100% on the point of how the NFL schedules the games throughout the season and the same can have benefits and not.

And yes we did benefit from a 10 day rest and faced KC at home, in a key head to head game. As opposed to the standard 7 days. And yes road games back to back, tough teams back to back, etc. Can all have an effect. Even weather, like playing in Florida early or up north in winter. We played Jags in 100 degree weather, the hottest game Brady has played in his career. Last year we went to Pitt after MNF at home with Buffalo.

And agreed the Jags-Pats-Bengals run for KC is tough, basically three playoff games in a row. We had a similar 5 run stretch in 2014.

It can be frustrating I hear yah, when one looks to a key opponent and the NFL sets up the schedule where the other gets a scheduling edge, like a 3 extra days to prepare. 4 home games early are nice but we get road games later. We do have a nice bye later in the year, so that helps.

As for the penalties, for the most part the pats are disciplined and i believe we did have one defensive penalty that was declined. Either way, i can understand frustration in a key game the opponent does not get called for an accepted penalty.

Hopefully you guys can beat Cinn and get the head to head against them

Just read your post after I posted mine. Yes 14 games are preset and the other 2 are preset by being set the year before.

The only issue is how the NFL lays out the games through the year. This year we are in Jax in 100 degree heat, had to go to Pitt last year after MNF, get KC this year on 10 days rest, and so on.

Yeah, we never had to play at the Chargers, Pittsburgh, or Denver. That must be really tough.

Nice try, you turd-swallower...they cant predict who wins a division. You really think they predicted KC @ NE in back-to back seasons...four years ago? They also have them playing @ Pittsburgh two season in a row 2017/2018...where they've had success. They simply hedged their bets giving KC road games in NE after they beat them down in 2014. This is done on a year to year basis for the top teams...as is the home/away arrangement. Denver has NEVER played 3 out of 4 on the road to start a season...the rest of the AFCW has like 35 times combined.

Giving NE a home Thursday game vs. the 4-12 Colts...then a home game on 10 days rest vs. KC was a nice touch.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

31 2nd half points. Once Pat settled down and kept missing open guys....he feasted. Pats defense is a pathetic joke. Chiefs missing 6 starters and 0 penalties and it took a last second FG??? pathetic

I know, and the Chiefs defense is right up there with the 86 Bears.

Short half their starters and 2 All pros....yeah

You are a complete dumb****.

Here's the system:

1. 6 games versus division opponents, 1 home and 1 away versus each.

2. 4 games against one NFC division, on a rotating basis. Home/away determined years in advance.

3. 4 games against one AFC division, on a rotating basis. Home/away determined years in advance.

4. That's 14 games. The final two are against the two teams in your conference, in a division other than your own or the one you are playing against all of. The two games will be against the two teams in those divisions who had an identical finish in the year before, as you did in your division. In other words, the AFC West is playing the AFC North next year, and KC finishes first, then next year they would play the AFC East and AFC South teams that finished first.

Then, the prior offseason the computer spits out options the exact schedule for when those 16 games will occur. There are MANY parameters on that. For example, NFL games can't overlap with baseball games in a shared stadium, and there can't be too many prime time games for any given team, or too many Thursday night games, etc. etc. etc.

More than you would ever want to know on that:

As for the rest, it just shows you're a whiny little pussy. The Patriots started with 3 out of 4 road games as recently as 2014. But who the **** cares? Every road game has an away game to match. Every short week has a long week after. JFC, can you bitch and moan more?
