or are the Chiefs not a great choice for opening night?
With it being against the Pats I don't think it would matter unless it was a horrendous opponent. Chiefs play then well and have playoff aspirations, it's a good matchup.
to play Atlanta this year so I figured they'd follow the model they used with Carolina Denver and have them open up against each other in a SB rematch. but they didn't do that for some reason.

. Oakland or Pitt would also be good. But I'm not sure how the league decides home verses away so perhaps those weren't options if not Pats home games.
Even if you go back to the start of 2015, they'd be 24-9 in the regular season. They're a good team is the point I'm trying to make. It's not like the Patriots are playing some punching bag that they're going to annihilate.
Man time flies can't believe Madden has been out the game almost a decade
Go Pats for my wallet. I just see this as a lock. Pats kill it in home openers. Think they only lost one ever with Brady starting and it's because they missed a chip shot FG at the end and lost 20-18 vs the cards

Thursday night games are bad enough. Opening up with a Super Bowl rematch is unbearable.
one of the keys for the Chiefs was "Survive the first quarter." Because the Pats come out, get a big lead, "and then you're in a one-dimensional game."

KC is like 23-4 in their last 27 regular season games. So they're certainly a worthy opponent.
Who would you rather have seen NE play against?

is this statement intended to reflect reality or exaggerate? You cinvieniently started keeping score immediately following a 5 game losing streak.
I think it's quite a bit more notable that they went on an 11 game win streak after starting the season 1-5.
I think what they've done since that awful start in 2015 is impressive. You don't? Cool with me.

Fuck that overractor.

Patriots scoreboard operator takes a shot at the Falcons by displaying 28-3 ahead of season opener - ( New Window )
Should have been illegal contact if anything
Popping open another brew.
Agreed, it's uncanny.
You are seeing why they are so good. Their OL keeps Brady upright. It all begins on the line.
