Pats and Chiefs game now postponed until Monday or Tuesday but wouldn't be surprised if put back to longer. Cam tested positive for Covid and believe a Chiefs player has done as well.

Jordan Ta'amu practice squad Qb who was incidently meant to copy Cam he didn't have to do it in everyway possible including Covid

With Pats cancelled looks like the Bills are Sky's second game now.

 

[kieran_vale]

Looks like the rest of the Pats roster have tested negative so far so we might be able to get the game on later next week. Anyone with KC or Pats players in fantasy probably would be wise on not banking on that though.

If it does go ahead personally I think KC should show some solidarity and rest Mahomes for it. I know I’d love nothing more than to see Brian Hoyer v <checks Google for KC backup> erm Chad Henne. It’s those great rivalries that we love the sport for right? Agreed Craig ?

 

[Craig]

Seriously tho kieran_vale I’m fuming, was really looking forward to tonight.

 

[Aberstone]

Now you know how I felt earlier on this week, at least the Pats vs. Chiefs game is happening tomorrow. We get a Week 4 bye as our reward, joy.

 

[.V.]

Nice of Chris Carson to carry my fantasy team, whilst I benched Kelce by mistake and McCaffrey is on the IR.

 

[kieran_vale]

This Cowboys and Browns game is utterly insane. OBJ doing the business for me in fantasy though.

 

[pride_of_notts]

4-0 Raiders contained our deep ball really well but the D does concern me slightly given how dominant it has been the last few years could have a bye next week not at all confident the Titans game will go ahead which would play well for preparing for KC and Mahomes

 

[kieran_vale]

Looks like Pats and KC is on tonight then. This game is going to be an absolute shitshow as much an exciting upside as am sure Brian Hoyer possesses.

First time I can remember we are more than a 10 point underdog and I would take KC to be beat that easily.

 

[pride_of_notts]

Bill o'Brien has been fired according to several reports can't say I am that suprised the Texans has looked stagnant the last few years and they look to be massively regressing especially on the back of some bad trades

I thought Stidham was pencilled in to be starter before you signed Cam. Why is he behind Hoyer tonight?

I thought Stidham was pencilled in to be starter before you signed Cam. Why is he behind Hoyer tonight?

He probably was at one point but got injured during training camp during the summer and also didn’t perform very well and kept getting picked off so dropped down the pecking order.

 

[kieran_vale]

Our D has actually done a really nice bend but don't break routine in the first quarter, KC got some yards but in the Red Zone we've stiffened a lot.

Unfortunately Hoyer really sucks. If we had Cam tonight I'd give us a shout but alas not. Also does make you think if Stidham couldn't beat him out then it doesn't look good for him,

 

[Craig]

Ugly game

 

[kieran_vale]

What the hell was that from the officials on that Mahomes fumble? Not great from them, got that badly wrong.

Agreed Craig its not been one for the purist at all. The Pats will not be too unhappy with it so far though, doubt could have gone better for us really.

 

[Craig]

Yep the Pats executing their obvious game plan pretty nicely to be fair.

 

[kieran_vale]

Well they did until Hoyer does the one thing you cannot do there and give up the sack on the last play of the half. Would have been certain to be tied up otherwise. Belichick will make him fucking walk home for that.

 

[Craig]

Kieran getting hard at this 2018 season montage on sky...

 

[kieran_vale]

Only caught the very end of it as had to walk away from my TV after Hoyer on that last play or might have put my foot through it.

Nantz on commentary spotted Hoyer thought still had a timeout remaining. Either way not good.

 

[kieran_vale]

Probably more work in this game for the KC punter than he's had in about an entire season tonight. Normally you'd say it was a redundant roster spot.

 

[Craig]

Getting frustrated now not gonna lie.

 

[kieran_vale]

Getting frustrated now not gonna lie.

I think it's just one of those nights you just got to get out there with the W and long term ugly wins like that are always good for a team.

Something we have done brilliantly tonight has been lock down Kelce. Very often he is Mahomes go to on third down and he's just not had that option at all tonight.

 

[Craig]

Hoyer turning into Lamar for a moment there

Hoyer turning into Lamar for a moment there

Now channeling his inner Brady...

 

[kieran_vale]

Wait for it Craig he will be back to his standard Tim Tebow form.

 

[kieran_vale]

And right on cue

 

[Craig]

Wait for it Craig he will be back to his standard Tim Tebow form.

And there it is

 

[kieran_vale]

I refuse to believe that Stidham would have done any worse situationally than that.

At some point KC are going to open up on us. Only so long you can keep them as quiet as we have. Either way the D has done its job.

 

[Craig]

Damn that close up of Hoyer on the bench was harsh, genuinely looked like he wanted to cry.

 

[kieran_vale]

So Clyde The Glide is now a thing thanks to Nantz and Romo.
