This is what will happen and it’s on Fuller and Watts as much as it is Spags to pick up the slack. Make sure you’re on top of your film study and communication. I expect that from those two, they play with good energy and effort. [Reply]
I never even saw the injury. No replays, no nothing. I didn't even see him carted off the field. I feel like I should file a missing persons report or something.
If it's just the ACL...it sucks, but it could be worse. Surgery, rehab, he'll be fine. I dunno about the 18 month stuff, seems 12 is usually the number. [Reply]
Can the stars ever just align once for the Chiefs to win a fucking SB? It certainly could still happen this year, but losing this kid when the defense was playing so well feels like yet another punch to the gut of this organization. [Reply]

I don't think it hurts our SB chances *that* much. Unless someone else goes down, then we might be screwed. HB going down or even Ward or Breeland would have been worse imo.
I just worry it might slow him down a bit and maybe he's never quite the same player. Also does it seem like if one ACL goes, the other is going to go at some point? Or am I just paranoid because of JC? [Reply]

Was it completely non-contact?
I think that's because all the cameras were focused on the TD catch away from him, but yeah it would be interesting to see what happened. All they showed was them tending to him on the field. [Reply]
I think the loss of Thornhill is a loss of a potential game-changing play by an extremely physically talented player.
However I don't think the loss of him decreases the chance for acceptable safety play. We can still win without him, I just don't think we can win because of him if that makes sense. [Reply]
You knew it. We could see on TV when he was being looked at by the trainers that the knee was moving around that was very unnatural. Like it had broken loose. [Reply]
