DaFreak Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Rolling this guy out there over the likes of Manning and Flacco. Anybody else throwing caution to the wind and rolling with this guy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddahj Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Nope. Probably starting Flacco as long as the weather holds up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougsul Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 After last weeks 88 total passing yards I am looking else where. It is going to be very cold and both teams will try to run out the clock the whole game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdko Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Yeah, it makes me cringe, but i'll probably be benching Delanie since I think this will be a tough game of Mariota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Yeah, it makes me cringe, but i'll probably be benching Delanie since I think this will be a tough game of Mariota. Unless you have Kelce this is probably a bad move. Who knows, I've been wrong before but Walker should have a decent outing even if (and when) Mariota struggles.

Do you think Johnson's injury changes this matchup though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn5033 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I'm rolling with him, I don't have a better option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboyz1 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 (edited) I'd go with Flacco. He's been playing really well and tends to play great when the games get big this time of year. MM has played well but playing him against the KC defense is very very risky IMO. They have a great ball hawk in Berry and playing in KC is one of the toughest places to play in the league. Couple that with Baltimore playing at home with their playoff lives on the line and there is no way I play a guy on the road against perhaps the best secondary in football with Houston coming off the edge at home, in the cold, and in a stadium where MM won't be able to hear a thing so line calls will be impossible.

Bronco Steve_85 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 It's either Mariota or Stafford for me... I'm rolling with Mariota... KC is middle of the pack as far as matchups go against QB's so I think Mariota bounces back! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KC is middle of the pack as far as matchups go against QB's so I think Mariota bounces back! That's a tough call. If Stafford's finger was a few more weeks on the mend I may go with him but not a week after. Both are tough calls but that situation I would probably risk MM also.

Chief Dick Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 It is going to be bitter cold Sunday here in KC. Like 5 degrees at kickoff with a wind chill pushing it below 0. I would not start Mariota. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboyz1 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 UPDATE: It's going to be 3 degrees in KC. 3 friggen degrees. I'm not starting anyone in that game except KC's defense. That game is going to be ridiculously cold. I don't know if MM has ever been in that kind of weather let alone play in it. They may not be able to catch a frozen ball let alone throw it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitansFan Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 UPDATE: It's going to be 3 degrees in KC. 3 friggen degrees. I'm not starting anyone in that game except KC's defense. That game is going to be ridiculously cold. I don't know if MM has ever been in that kind of weather let alone play in it. They may not be able to catch a frozen ball let alone throw it. The coldest game Mariota has played in was against Oregon State his last year in college, around 40 at kickoff and dipping down to the 20s. He threw for 367 yards and 4 TDs. This will be quite a bit colder, but to be honest I'd worry more about KC's secondary smothering the Titans' receivers and the chance for a similar gameplan to last week against Denver - heavy on the rushing, not a lot of passing. I think those will be a bigger factor than the cold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazysight Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) I've got 10 degrees on my weather channel app, but no wind. A lot better than what they'll be dealing with in Chicago. I don't know about Mariota, but I feel Smith will be alright. Also the Titans run game. Edited December 17, 2016 by Crazysight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pun Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 (edited) there's some kind of weather, injury, coach issue, or some other storyline type of reason for why i shouldn't play around half my players. i already screwed up sitting powell when i saw forte was declared active. i'm almost more wary of overthinking these situations than i am of the situations themselves...
