Yea, week 1 usually yields us one good “this player/this (pick one) room” sucks and is in need of upgrade. Or a nostalgic “Andy never changes/doesn’t challenge/can’t be trusted with the clock” threads. |

And if we're being honest, we know the only reason (besides Toney being a dumbass) we lost is because we were without 2 of our 3 best players in that game, so it didn't really prove anything for the Chiefs or Lions. We're at full strength this year (minus Hollywood) and I expect us to raise that banner and then treat the fans to a solid victory. That said, if we somehow managed to lose, I'm not gonna freak out about it (assuming no serious injuries or anything) |

It just doesn't happen. The NFL isn't Madden. Every good team has a weakness, every good team has an off week, every good team makes mistakes. But the really good teams seem to know when to flip the switch and focus in when the games actually matter. The regular season matters to an extent, I dont want to be limping into the playoffs. But just get there in a decent spot and we've got a great chance. |

I'm not sure how many "must win" games there are in week 1, but I'd say this one is as close to that as it can be. Having a win in our back pocket, and then one against Cinci the next week, would be absolutely massive as we work through the season and the stacked AFC.
As for the game, my initial thought is that we're going to get bootlegged to death trying to gang up on Henry. But, as has been pointed out, Spags always plays him tough. Spags in general seems to always have a fantastic game plan against mobile QBs, so let's hope he and the defense brings it. I'm a little nervous with no Willie Gay or Sneed out there, but in Spags I trust. |

I expect a heavy dose of Derrick Henry. That's fine but the jokes is on them because they are going to run Ol' Henry into the ground by post season and they will be one and done.
We've contained Ol' Henry to 69 yards in the AFCC game against the Titans we can do it again. |
