10/5–Pats at Chiefs

[Beomoose]

I’ll say it - we should’ve signed Kaepernick.

He wants a starter job, but if we didn't grab Cam I would have liked to see us give Colin a chance.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Stidham has had even fewer reps than hoyer.

How many reps did the admittedly much better pedigreed Herbert get before getting tossed into his first game and doing pretty decently against KC?

 

[Soxy]

They will end up losing this game by a FG

More likely they lose by 3-4 TDs.

 

[Reggie's Racquet]

Our veteran back up not only took the sack but he also thought we had a timeout. That is beyond stupid and shows absolutely no situational awareness.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

How? All the dude had to do is what my 8 year old could do - don’t take the sack and throw it to Uganda and take the grounding call if he has to. All he had to do was to do what he did not do. He picked the worst possible outcome.

It was awful but I think grounding ends the half.

 

[Steve Dillard]

I don't get why they didn't rush to spike it after that play and keep the timeout in exchange for 8-10 seconds

Because they had two left, so using one then didn't matter.


Wait....

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Harris looks pretty decent to me just from a physical standpoint. Missed a couple bounces outside but has no game time to speak of under his belt so it’s not a shock.

 

[Jinhocho]

The frustration I feel reminds of that Pats comeback years ago when Hugh Millen tried to run it in as the game was ending and got sacked against the Broncos. I think the herald headline the next day was "A Hughmiliating Defeat"

 

[Captaincoop]

Based on what?

A) watching him, and;
B) every scouting report on him

 

[AlNipper49]

I’m trying to think of another analogy that would allow me to describe Hoyer, but anything I am thinking of would probably have the FBI at my doorstep in 18 minutes.

 

[AlNipper49]

Fuck

 

[Harry Hooper]

Watching Harris play pretty much like Sony is a telling statement about the football knowledge on this board. With the exception of about two guys in the league at any point running backs look good with good blocking and bad without it.

Yes, and I am no big Sony fan.

 

[nazz45]

I think calling the third time out was the problem. Just get up to the line and run your play.

Agreed. Didn’t like the quick succession of timeouts. There were no time-consuming plays preceding them. Ultimately, though, Hoyer has to be more aware. But hey, Brady did something similar not too long ago against Miami I think.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Hoyer is actually underperforming my low expectations

 

[TripleOT]

I remember that game! They lost because he couldn't make the signal, right? Did some half-ass signal way too late, IIRC??

Only one designated player could call a timeout. Grogan was the guy, and he was on queer street after getting hammered.

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

Harris doesn’t seem afraid of contact, so there’s that

 

[j-man]

Neely

lol newton thanks for providing the buleprint to slow down KC this will be a great playoff rematch

 

[scottyno]

I’ll say it - we should’ve signed Kaepernick.

When, yesterday?

 

[esasky's vertigo]

the defense should all be inducted to the new england patriots hall of fame presented by raytheon immediately following this game.

It's including the sponsor that really makes this one stand out. They sure got their monies worth.

 

[joe dokes]

How many reps did the admittedly much better pedigreed Herbert get before getting tossed into his first game and doing pretty decently against KC?

Probably the difference between 2nd string and 3rd string.
Regardless, I can't guess any better than McD.

 

[Van Everyman]

Grounding would have been a runoff guys. Half would have ended anyway.

Edit: play was awful. But coaching staff put them in a bad position.

This is where I am. And...it’s what can happen when you have two days to prepare a QB fly the day of a game. They should’ve left him another TO.

 

[kartvelo]

Well, Bill didn't kill Hoyer during halftime.

 

[TripleOT]

This kicker for KC is top notch.

 

[Ale Xander]

Wait, why is he still in?

 

[Ale Xander]

Paging Mathieu to Pollard Hoyer.

 

[Obscure Name]

Beautiful deep ball.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Byrd?

 

[ifmanis5]

How do you let him keep playing?

 

[Average Game James]

WTF was that? You can't complete a ball 5 yards down the field...

 

[Gash Prex]

How bad must Stidham be huh?

 

[djbayko]

Helps if you throw it inbounds.

 

[patinorange]

Awesome answer to the fuck up. Here comes KC.

 

[shoosh77]

He had Harry 2 secs before he ended up throwing it. He’s not....passable.

 

[PhilPlantier]

I hate you, Brian.

 

[ifmanis5]

Did he touch it?

 

[j-man]

Probably the difference between 2nd string and 3rd string.
Regardless, I can't guess any better than McD.

hebert looked good in hard knocks hoyer makes drew lock look like drew Bledsoe

 

[Obscure Name]

Pats' ball!

Noooo

 

[Soxy]

Stidham. I don't even know him.

 

[OurF'ingCity]

Oooo that was close

 

[azsoxpatsfan]

Fuck so close

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Chiefs are such lucky fucks

 

[pokey_reese]

That might have been the worst looking deep ball I've seen since Peyton retired.

 

[staz]

Fingers?!

 

[E5 Yaz]

They ain't winning unless KC does something to help them

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

His glove moved

 

[djbayko]

Sorry Romo you're wrong. If one camera clearly shows he didn't touch it that's all it takes.

 

[Captaincoop]

This is like watching the part in 'Necessary Roughness' when Scott Bakula was benched.

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

They ain't winning unless KC does something to help them

They’re trying

 

[Seels]

why do they thing Sterratore adds to the broadcast? He's the only thing that sucks as much as Hoyer

 

[FisksFinger]

They ain't winning unless KC does something to help them

they almost did on that kickoff

 

[Marciano490]

They ain't winning unless KC does something to help them

They just did.
