AFC Championship: We are on to Kansas City!

[BradytoMosstoGronk]

So I have a question. A 6'5" 260 pound extremely athletic tight end or receiver that averages 1000 plus yards a season and has the single season tight end receiving yards record is not an elite receiver because you think he gets free releases? To be more elite he should get jammed at the line? Part of being an elite receiver is being open. And I seriously doubt that he is being ignored by defenses. He has great hands. Great speed and athleticism. He is great after the catch. He's too fast for linebackers and he's too big for DB's. He is an elite receiver. There's homerism and then there's bat **** crazy homerism.

6’5 260 and the dude cant block. Brutal.

I will say this, if they beat the Chiefs, on the road, in KC, and Brady is lights out... I'll probably start to believe again. But if I start to believe and I get crushed after the Super Bowl (if they lose), I'm driving to Foxboro and I'm putting your head through a car window.

Yikes!

 

[reesebobby]

look Buford,take your fakeazzed tough guy act out to the street corner. You have anything intelligent to say besides calling members here "homers" (like THAT is a bad thing)? If not ,choke yourself on a bucket of slimy KC ribs and look ahead to your impending myocardial infarction.

Well said.

This team does not get intimidated.

They handled the noise in Indy well enough back in the day and crowds in Pittsburgh are always hostile and they’re used to that. And they won a Super Bowl in spectacular fashion during all the Deflategate noise - tells me there’s a mental toughness about this team that shouldn’t be written off.

In fact Reiss noticed how relaxed the team is this week and that’s why he reversed his prediction of a KC win to a Pats win. The complete opposite of what the team looked like at practice leading up to the Super Bowl they shall not be named.
Should be interesting.

As a fan and as nervous as I am about the game, knowing Pats are relaxed drives me nuts

Swing by my house afterwards. I want to hear about it over a 21 year old scotch.

Will do. I'll need a few drinks before I get back behind the wheel and drive back to Florida.

No thats a good thing.

What we don't want to hear is, "Pats had sloppy practices this week.".

Not that anyone here is going to take the time or care, but Travis Kelce grades out pretty good as a blocker. But since he's not a Patriot, that simply would not be possible to acknowledge. I get it.

I'm guessing you're using PFF for that?

 

[reesebobby]

I'm guessing you get all your information from Ninkovich? Find another source that says anything negative about Travis Kelce's blocking. I watch every game. He's a receiving tight end first. But he blocks fine.

So... yeah... you're getting that from PFF. Lmfaoooooo.

So you're getting your information from where? LMFAO I've watched every game he ever played in. I know what he is. You really don't have a clue.

 

[reesebobby]

Show me a source other than Ninkovich that says he is a poor blocker. Just one. And then we'll talk. It should be pretty easy to do if he's as bad as you say.

Yeah. No. Nobody in any universe has ever uttered that statement.

I truly enjoy when friendly, educated fans of opposing teams post here, and while you're kind of friendly in that typically annoying way, but you're not bringing much to this forum IMO. You come across as someone with WAY too much time on his/her hands.. and much less knowledge and intelligence than time. Good luck on Sunday. I think you're (kind of) an idiot.

Edit: Added (kind of)

Random thought:

I wondered if this is the first championship weekend when all four teams have two-word place names (New England, Kansas City, New Orleans, Los Angeles.)

Nope:

2007: NE-SD, and NYG-GB

Silly, but you watch: It'll make it into someones "Sunday notes."

With posts like this, you really don't have a leg to stand on by trying to call other people homers, Reeseyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

Okay...





There's a reason they don't use him as much as an inline blocker as they used to...

Von Miller called him a "fake Gronk" after he ragdolled him a few years ago.

That's three more on top of Nink. Like I said, there is a reason why they don't use him as an inline blocker as much anymore and it isn't a good one. It's because he's weak there. I'm sure you see him block and think that he can do it, but if you think he's a good blocker, I have to call into question whether you know what you're looking at or not. You can say a lot of positive things about Kelce as a TE without having to do a Stretch Armstrong routine and casually make things up about him.

Sorry. I won’t bother you guys anymore. Good luck to you guys also. I’ll come back after to congratulate you if you win.

You don't watch film. There's blind homerism, then there's reesebobby's homerism.

Metrics that Matter: Travis Kelce, elite yard-creator | Fantasy Analysis | Pro Football Focus

From 2017




I suggest you move away from PFF and film study to support your claims.

Kelce is as just as good of a blocker as Shannon Sharpe which was just at the threshold of passable.

Has he really improved? I didn't see it vs NE

Jeez, now I feel kind of mean.

I hope Sunday is a great game with no injuries and my dad doesn't have a heart attack and the Pats win.
