WichitaZRide 321 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 So USUALLY the winner of the Super Bowl gets to open the season at home on Thursday night and they always try to make it a good game. Anyone wanna speculate on who its gonna be against? Here's the options: Broncos Chargers Falcons Jets Panthers Patriots Raiders Texans I basically have two guesses. If Tom Brady is on any of these teams, it will be that team. Otherwise I'm guessing the Texans. What say you, members of the group? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patriots, no matter who is at QB, they want a AFC Championship preview! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reesebobby 5,662 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Texans or Patriots seem to make the most sense. I could see them focusing on the Watson/Mahomes thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chiefs have NEVER opened at home against Denver. Opened at home against every AFC West team past and current, i.e. Seattle, but never against Denver. However, Denver has hosted the Chiefs before on opening day. I wrote the NFL about this and of course it fell on deaf ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also have to consider the Chiefs are at the mercy of the Royals schedule early in the season just to have a home opener at all. In fact the Royals play at home the entire NFL opening weekend which could set up a possibiilty we don't get the game at all. More likely the Royals will just move their start back a few hours.

Lamardirts 2,114 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 We will crush the Pats if Tom isn't there. I think the Texans provide the only real game on that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just curious. See people in here bitch about just about everything but does nothing about. I was curious, so instead of talking about it in here I actually acted on it.

It’s a fluke we’ve never opened vs Denver. at home is the most reasonable response. Either way the Broncos are 1-16 all time in December.at Arrowhead. So ho, ho, ho Broncos. Hope to see you later rather than sooner next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moons314 2,463 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I realize the Royals will be dogshit again this year, so September baseball will be an afterthought in these parts, but I saw something last week (can't remember where now) about that Thursday opener being a problem because of scheduling with the Royals.

sith13 1,746 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Pats or Texans that's basically a given but I think Texans might have the edge as NFL will want young QBs battling it out for a spectacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okiechief1 425 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Regarding the Royals wasn’t their a Monday night game (can’t remember how years ago) where the Royals played a day game and the Chiefs played a night game. I’m wanting to say the Royals even moved their start back to a day game to make it happen. Seems like something similar happened to another team where the stadium was being used by by baseball and the NFL wanted a game there. NFL got their way. I’m wanting to say the Ravens. Have no idea if the Ravens and Orioles have ever shared a stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually, yes, but last year I think it was GB-CHI as part of the 100 year celebration? I hope they go back to it, I would love to have the Thu night home opener. Royals thing should be fixable.

Looks like on the 10th it's already a 1:35 start for the Royals against the A's. It would be hilarious to player the new Las Vegas team that same day....

We play at home at 1 on that Sunday too, so SNF would be a problem too. Don’t be shocked if we don’t get opener (although I’d still say it’s likeky we do). I like your Oakland/left Oakland angle. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they need about a 9 hour spread to make it work. With 7:25 kickoff that doesn’t leave much room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuckin' ridiculous for our time zone if you ask me but our opponent was San Diego. I arranged to take that Tuesday off work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
