Chiefs Week 1 - Let's talk about the Lions - Page 15

TLO · 08-29-2023, 06:38 PM

Looks like the Chiefs are 6.5 point favorites according to Vegas.

How do you see this one playing out?

Widening the gap in the score, is not normally an Andy Reid allowance

RunKC · 09-01-2023, 05:03 PM

I didn't realize that Jared Goff has never played at Arrowhead before. It's the only stadium he hasn't played in.

Yeah that's not gonna be good pal

So this might be a better test than I originally thought, especially if they try to jam our WRs a lot. Should be a good test to start the season.

They're ****ed if they try to run that

Was fun to watch.

I think it'll be high scoring, especially if Jones isn't in there. Goff looked like a legit QB for the first time in a long time towards the end of last year, and if we can't pressure him without blitzing they're gonna score on us. Could end up being a shootout.

Stryker · 09-01-2023, 07:22 PM

Lions have probably one of the better Olines in the NFL. With JG and Amon St whatever the **** this team is projected to win their division over GB, MINN and Chicago. I think we will win but it will be very close like the last preseason game against the Stains.

HC_Chief · 09-01-2023, 07:55 PM

Vermeil Chiefs. These guys can score a shitload of points, but will give up same/more. Best case scenario for Detroit in this game: high scoring shootout. Worst case: KC boat race.

Ah, yeah, I agree. I had a brainfart; i meant I'd bet DET to cover, not the Under. If CJ doesn't play, I have a feeling it's going to be a little bit of a shootout. Maybe even if he does; he probably isn't in game shape yet.

Maybe even some 4 wide 1 te sets. We are 100% going to stretch defenses out even more this year.

I think this is why they let Brown leave. They knew he was ass in pass pro. If we have 3/4 WR on the field running different route trees someone is going to open up 2-5 seconds each play. I do think we see more delayed handoff/wheel routes from RB's this year too.

I talked myself into it... Mahome is going to set all time TD/Passing Yards record this year and win back to back MVP's

Ive never thought Brown was very good. I feel bad for Joe Burrow.

RINGLEADER · 09-02-2023, 04:10 PM

I’ll stick with the trends of Mahomes in 5 opening day starts:

121/167 (avg 72.5% completion percentage)
1542 yards (avg 308.4 ypg)
18 TDs (avg 3.6 TDs per game)
0 INTs
Passer Rating: 136.86

Chiefs - 189 (avg 37.8ppg)
Oppo - 124 (avg 24.8ppg)

Let's hope we don't play with a "SB hangover" against these guys because the Lions 'will run on us'(with success) I assure you especially with CJ being out. They have nothing to lose and everything to play for to spark their 'rise from the cellar' tour. Just saying.

Megatron96 · 09-02-2023, 06:10 PM

DET has some pretty nice offensive weapons, they say they've dramatically improved their secondary, and they think they have a top-5 OL. Without CJ, this Lions team is kind of built to play a team like ours.

Fortunately, it's a non-conference game, so a loss isn't that big of a deal. We were going to probably lose 3-4 games anyway, CJ or no.

Mahomes is really only a man…

I'm rooting for the lions to overcome their 0-1 start and win their division.

I'd go for that. But nah, 1-0 sounds better.
