Chiefs vs. Panthers Gameday Thread 10/05

Watching a little bit, specifically wanted to see Lloyd's kickoff into the stands, freakin great, and to check Hackett's injury.

I cannot see how in the hell Hackett got hurt on that play. It's basically a guy getting his torso in front of a guy's legs and continuing to the ground. Can't see anything at all hitting near his leg/knee. I wonder if it gave on him as he was throwing the block, causing him to go that low. Only thing I can figure.

 

yeah, that kick into the stands was unbelievable to watch. I mean what was that, like 90 yards?

Freakin incredible.

As far as Hackett, I didnt hear what happened until on the way home, honestly it happened so non-descript that I thought maybe he developed the flu or something.

One thing I have seen or heard much about was how jacked up Smitty got on the sideline. I think it was 3rd quarter when he caught that little screen pass to the sideline. I watched him on the sideline for a while after he took that hit, he threw up in the trash can and moved to the end of the bench. Moose and Jake came over to him, Moose was grinning when he sat next to him and when Jake came over they talked a bit, but then they both walked away and left Smitty sitting there. I would love to have been able to listen to what was said, I think Smitty was a bit woozy.

 

It was after a 15 yard penalty from KC, so Lloyd kicked off from the 45. In fact, a couple of people noted later on in the game that Rhys wasn't getting his kicks into the endzone like he normally does.

 

I did notice it on the field, bascially because KC's ball movement relied on that aspect of the game.

 

I missed that it was a penalty. I did notice the one kick off that didnt get much past the 10 yard line, but otherwise I thought he was getting good distance.

 

To update this, seems I guessed right:

Fox not sure when Hackett will return
