I predict he not only plays, but comes up with at least one big catch on par with him burning Richard Sherman last year.
If he doesn't play, my hunch is that he retires. Seems dramatic but if I missed a revenge game against the team that drafted me AND a Super Bowl back-to-back, I'd question whether it's worth trying anymore. [Reply]

It's like they didn't watch the Patriots over the last 10 years, flipping the ball to undersized WR's and RB's in less than 2 seconds while blanketing the field with DB's and rushing 3.
It's like they haven't watched the Chiefs all year, moving the ball at will regardless of who plays OL.
The modern NFL is about matchups, especially individual player matchups. The whole "trenches" argument died years ago.
Any time I hear some former player spouting about tenches then going to buzz words, you gotta hit em, be physical and tough.
I know the dude is a meathead that doesn't understand today's NFL. [Reply]
For the #Bucs, safeties Jordan Whitehead (shoulder) and Antoine Winfield (ankle), along with LB Lavonte David (hamstring), have no game status. All will play. WR Antonio Brown (knee) and TE Cam Brate (back) are officially questionable.

Douchey host: All of this talk about the QBs, the Chiefs are now playing without their starting offensive tackle. Shouldn't that be the headline going into this game?
Cam Jordan: No. When you look at what Pat Mahomes does, he's able to lengthen the play with his fee-
Douchey host: SO IT DOESN'T MATTER!?!
:-) I had no opinion on that guy before watching that clip, but now I fucking hate him. [Reply]
They expect Winfield (ankle), Whitehead (shoulder and knee), David (hamstring), JPP (knee) to play despite all the issues they've had all week with Whitehead not being able to take contact on tuesday, jpp missing practice with his knee contusion and david & winfield being limited most of this week. They are risking everything on these banged up guys and tbh I'm fine with that. We'll see if all of them finish the game on Sunday.
Brown's knee issues remain and he's questionable whilst one of Brady's main guys, Cameron Brate, MISSED practice today with a back injury he sustained yesterday and he's questionable too. [Reply]
