Week 1: Chicago Bears (0-0) @ Houston Texans (0-0)

Yep I agree. They're gonna have to give Fuller more attention which will open it up for Hopkins and Miller

 

We are only scratching the surface of our potential. Braxton was underutilized today and so was Hopkins. Imagine when all three are on top of their games alongside a more comfortable Brock. That will only just open up for lanes for Lamar to rush.

Defensively Watt looked 50% today and Clowney is still developing. If Watt goes back to his DPOY form and Clowney continues improving, wow.

 

Also, if Duane can come back and be effective, it'll give the OL a solid boost.

 

Good freaking win today.

First half was Meh but oh boy did they bring it in the 2nd half.

Did anybody Wilfork looking like his Patriots days. Damn he was balling.

 

Would've had the play of the season with that near interception.

 

Loving these long bombs brock is throwing out there. No more check down. OB is really giving brock the green light to chunk it more than Mallet who also has an arm. It's probably because this year receiving core can actually go and get it. Bringing back the warren moon days when we had 4 wide outs who can go and fetch it. What a time to be alive.

 

A lot of it has to do with the QB making the right reads.... Brock did a decent job of recognizing the defense at the line and attempting the right throw/route (there were some iffy ones, but that will happen).

Some QB's don't see it... they can make all the throws, can be as quick as a gazelle, but if they don't recognize defensive patterns, blitz formations, where the safety help is going, whether or not the WR is going underneath or over the top based on where the defender is positioned.... they won't be in this league for long.

I honestly think they could develop a much better pre-draft QB "smarts" test to truly weed out the all-arm/no-head type QB's that still get drafted high, but predictably fail.

 

The chiefs also have a better secondary. I hope the defense can stop Spencer Ware (he went OFF today) and Travis Kelce without Cushing

 

His deep ball accuracy has been impressive since preseason game 3

 

Yeah, not much depth at that position, i dont think

 

I think we're better off not having Cushing cover Kelce.

Having said that, we dont have many options and I feel like we will have trouble stopping him and their running game. They've handed it to us the last 2 games at home...I just hope we can be more competitive this time around.

 

the Chiefs are like the Rangers, completely own us mentally

 

We're better than the Chiefs on both sides of the field.

This is not the same team who got worked by KC last season.

KC sucks I think we beat them worse than we beat the Bears. The offense will start out faster and the defense will play like it did in the 2nd half all game.

We win 33-13

 

Maybe Cliett would be brought back and given a second chance to impress.

Cushing would definitely have helped with Ware. As far as his covering Kelce, supposedly he was playing very well in camp. They'll probably end up with Demps or Hal on Kelce a lot; those two are not big enough to stop Kelce IMO. If Hal gets good position he can make a play on the ball but it its put perfectly for Kelce, I don't know how effective he'll be.

 

The Chiefs also aren't going to have their MVP Brian Hoyer in the game, so advantage Texans

 

That really was their biggest advantage the last 2 times we played them.

 

And hopefully we don't run Watt up the middle in a goal line situation

 

Both times the Chiefs put a whooping on the Texans, the same could have been said. Their screen pass game is very effective and is one of the weaknesses of the Texans defense. The Chiefs are also a better 2nd half team. I expect this one to be a hard fought battle.

 

Still have no one to guard Kelce
