Mother****er

****. That hurts. I know he catches a lot of shit around here but he’s been nails.

:(

****ing son of a bitch

Now the Bucs have a chance.

Lucky mother****ers.

Mother of god

****. Barrett, Suh, JPP, and Vea against a patchwork OL is going to be a rough ask.

Maybe it's not torn?

RIP

Not ideal

Even if it’s not torn (which it likely is), he won’t be able to come back in 2 short weeks

Fish is a soldier and unfairly maligned.

Did they find anyone that can cover Tyreek Hill yet? If not, he might break the playoff record for receiving yards.

we'll be fine. Mahomes has played with a not great O line all season. It's not ideal but I'm certainly not panicking.

Would be a good time if somehow Mitch is back.

The good news is whoever replaces him will have two weeks to prepare as the starter

How the **** do the Bucs get lucky enough to play the Packers without their LT then the Chiefs without ours (not to mention Schwartz)?

Get well Big Fish.

It’s one game and Andy has 2 weeks. I think he’ll make it work.

It’s just one more game

I agree just annoying. The Bucs will be completely healthy of course.

Hopefully it's just strained. I'd think if it was ruptured he wouldn't have been sitting on the bench.

We’ve now lost 3/5 starters from day 1

Anybody know any LTs?

There is no blood flow to the Achilles so there is no urgency for care. If can handle the pain then can take time getting to ER.

That being said, banged-up Wylie (the guy Chief Fan actively wants to cut) has been a beast all game. Props.

Lawrence taylor

Didn't fish walk off the field? CBS went right to the commercial I don't think they showed it. Hope it's not torn if it was would he walk off the field or stay on the sideline?

Maybe we can find someone like this?

People can walk if they tear their Achilles

There is only one LT and that's not him this is

Expect a lot more roll outs to the right. We saw quite a few today.

Reid has his work cut out for him now..

Win with no ol.

That’s not fair.

Those guys are playing well for a patchwork OL.

Yes but Fish was the one guy that we really needed.

Well figure something out..

I assume this means Remmers at LT, Wis at RG, and Wylie slides out to RT.

There could be some outside possibilities: Mitch is able to come back (about 1.25% chance :) ), put Durant at RT and leave Wylie at RG, maybe something with Rankin although I doubt we see him.

I think you will see our O-line take it to the next level. They need to perform just like the 1980 Gold Medal U.S. Olympic Hockey Team. MAKE IT HAPPEN !!! WILL IT TO HAPPEN !!:thumb:

It's not very easy. But yes you can

Depending on how much of the tendon ruptures, you lose a lot of the ability to plantar flex, which makes it pretty awkward

Oh. :sulk:

Could Jared Veldheer play for his third playoff team?

The Packers are done so he is a FA again.

Get well soon 72.

Who was the guy that was on the colts then signed with another team after they lost? LT played back to back weeks for 2 different teams....

Question asked, question answered lol.

I know Rankin's injury was bad, but if it was THAT bad, why did we activate him from the PUP instead of just IR'ing him?

Rankins>Wylie.

HAVE WE SIGNED THIS PIECE OF SHIT YET!?

They are saying tear

Is veldheer not still on technically on the packs roster? Says he’s on the covid list here? Are you sure he’s available? If he’s available, chiefs should sign veldheer.

Got two weeks to scheme it up

This'll be rough.

If Andy wins the SB with this patchwork OL, he's officially the GOAT in my book.

:sulk:

Honestly, I’m more worried about this for next year than this year. One more big piece to address.

I trust Reid on this one. Tampa’s secondary is nothing special, so I know we can get guys open. It might just be more difficult to dial up the deep shots.

Good point on next year. OT feels like a real need. At least need Remmers back.

If you scheme it just like tonight, that will work well.

Is Carlton Davis playing for Tampa?

Pat can still slice and dice their shit secondary

This. If its torn we almost have to take a LT in the 1st since he won't be back to normal next season (if ever). Other teams will know and draft accordingly around us. I would've liked the option of grabbing a DE or WR.

The Chiefs are gonna have a couple guys who can take one spot...

Should we sign Cordy Glenn for the SB?

Such bad news for Fisher and the Chiefs.

Catches far too much shit here. He's a very good LT.

Sheeesh, its somehow just one major obstacle after another around here

Get a few important guys back, lose two others

Big Fish has been a warrior for us every step of the way.

Jack Youngblood once played a Super Bowl with a broken leg.

D-day was a disaster tactically speaking and they didn't complain and still succeeded.

WE CAN DO THIS !!!!!

Durant has absolutely no business starting in a Super Bowl.

They’ve got Vea back too.

It's way too early but it makes more sense to have Rankin start at Left Tackle so that the rest of the line doesn't have to shift around.

I'm more concerned about a healthy Watson and CEH. The Chiefs were able to win games last year with Cam Erving at Left Tackle and I don't think there's a chance in hell that either Remmers or Rankin are worse than Erving.

Both their starting safeties are hurt right, Winfield last week and the other this week?

Rams lost.

Yep. Whitehead went out with shoulder injury. No details on severity.

Winfield should play in 2 weeks though.

How many times does the media try do draw the comparison of the Chiefs and no Fisher to Green Bay and no Bakhtiari over the next two weeks?

I bet Trent Williams would prefer a ring over one last payday.

They are saying Fisher has a torn Achilles. He’s probably a long shot to play till after the halfway point in the season.

The Silverback would be a great pickup.

Hopefully it's not actually ruptured, or he won't be ready for camp next year

Isn’t he under contract with the niners?

Yeah next year could be interesting if we’re replacing both starting tackles.

There is plenty of time to worry about that after the SB, but it certainly could end up happening.

Yes. But will be an unrestricted free agent soon, was open to playing either side and played LT at a very high level this year.

I don’t think Williams is available to be signed...

Confirmed. Torn Achilles

Via Ian

Veach needs another offseason of wizardry. On top of the normal needs we're needing long term replacements at both bookend spots immediately now. They were probably planning for at least one more season each for Fisher and Schwartz.

Damn
