I don't know if the league would want it. It's one of the best match ups on the entire regular season schedule and it sucks for everybody except for KC to have it be a lopsided, crippled contest, IMO. I think they would've preferred Cam to play.
No way. Playing Monday instead of Sunday clearly benefits NE more than KC (not that I really think it will make much difference). NE is the team with the backup QB thrust into the starting role very late in the week. Yeah KC played Monday but NE needed the extra day of preparation far more than KC did given what happened.If anyone is gaining out of this postponement, it's the Chiefs.... they were supposed to play on a short week.... now it's a regular 7 day week for them.
Were they able to practice? No.No way. Playing Monday instead of Sunday clearly benefits NE more than KC (not that I really think it will make much difference).

Of course, as stated above, I do not believe the League is worried about competitive advantage with the scheduling. This is just the procedure they are following to keep the schedule as much the same as possible.
I already told you whom I feel it benefits more. What do you think Belichick and Hoyer did all Saturday and Sunday? Pop some brewskis and watch TV? Oh, by the way....Were they able to practice? No.
Was Hoyer able to take any reps with the ones? No.
Is the team flying to KC on game day? Yes.
Is that an advantage? Decidedly not.
Did KC Get an extra day of rest? Sure Did.
Did their DC get the chance to review film of Hoyers past games? Sure did.
Now tell me... it clearly benefits who more?
*yawn* BB flipping off others while wearing patriot rings ... that's more a Big FU to you Bucco Bruce, than it is to me... I know its hard, but try to think these things through... Maybe find one with chucky in bucs gear?I already told you whom I feel it benefits more. What do you think Belichick and Hoyer did all Saturday and Sunday? Pop some brewskis and watch TV?

Yeah, I'm sure Belichick, McDaniels and Hoyer did nothing all weekend except drink beer and watch TV. They certainly didn't change the gameplan in the slightest to adjust for the fact that the starting QB has a radically different skillset now versus what they spent 5 days preparing for.*yawn* BB flipping off others while wearing patriot rings ... that's more a Big FU to you Bucco Bruce, than it is to me...

and if you think its advantage Patriots, you'd be wrong ... again ... i'm sure that's something you are use to by now...

The Patriots could not bring the players to the facility. Think they can install a new game plan via zoom? get the offensive unit together, have them walk things thru in their living rooms? yeesh....Yeah, I'm sure Belichick, McDaniels and Hoyer did nothing all weekend except drink beer and watch TV.

But man that 6th day KC got is certainly going to make all the difference. In fact, wasn't this going to be the first time in NFL history a team played a Sunday game following a Monday game?
What do you think the coaches did when they found out about Newton's positive test? Say "forget it, guys, it's too late to change the gameplan so we are going to leave it alone"..?The Patriots could not bring the players to the facility. Think they can install a new game plan via zoom?
Absolutely, but that's not what we are discussing here.As for the cheefs, the Pats are without their starting qb. Advantage cheefs defense
Absolutely, but that's not what we're discussing here.They get to face Hoyer the Destroyer! Advantage cheefs
Sorry not sorry but no. Given the fact that the Patriots found out they had to change their starting QB Saturday morning, being able to use Sunday to prepare changes instead of actually playing on Sunday helps the Patriots.And an extra days rest is better than not... Advantage cheefs
Stop being obtuse.What do you think the coaches did when they found out about Newton's positive test? Say "forget it, guys, it's too late to change the gameplan so we are going to leave it alone"..?
Seriously, now you're just humiliating yourself.

WTF do you think Belichick and McDaniels did all day Sunday? Play Parcheesi?
One benefit we get is if we do face KC later in the season, they wouldn't have any film of Cam from this game. Any wrinkles Bill was planning at throwing them can wait...
Stop being obtuse.
All of the line items are part of the discussion. You dont get to decide where the goal line is, so stop trying to move it to suit your needs.
