I think when push comes to shove, Allen will be there in the clutch. It feels like the team has been on cruise control the past month since the teams we've been facing aren't at our their level. These next few games we'll probably see more of him. Just watching him when he has the ball he's clearly the most talented WR on the field.

SOmething to think about. Rivers is playing about as well as can be expected. There really is not much more room for improvement. So, where would all of this additional production come from? Royal and Gates are both more productive then they were last year. Floyd is being more productive then VB was last year. We have had a little bit of a dropoff at RB, but not that much since BO and Ronnie have done a good job there too. And we are trying to get more out of Green. There is ALWAYS only so much production to go around, and right now, teams KNOW that Allen will beat them if they don't put a lot of attention on him. The fact that Allen is moderately productive and the others are being much more productive just tells me that we have found a good mix. But at some point, some DC is going to gamble on taking another receiver out of the game by doubling them all over the field, and Allen will be there to hurt them for it. Right now, teams are just not willing to go that route yet.

That's kinda my worry, it's like they're daring us to beat them with Royal and Green etc., and we are. But looking ahead, we'll be facing tougher Ds - I think KC's D might give us a tougher game than Denver's.
I think we're gonna need to throw the kitchen sink at KC, on both sides of the ball.

I think the big thing is that Floyd is back and playing at a very high level so Rivers has another target to look at. Last year it was Brown and Allen at WR, so it was a no brainer that everything was going to Allen. I also think that his production last year has teams game planning more for him. Finally, I think he is still not 100% healthy and it has affected him a bit.

Originally posted by SDfan View PostI believe Woodhead was our 2nd leading WR last year (now gone) and Royal had a career year last year. I think Rivers has the same amount of targets- but more discretion to choose this year under Reich than he did under Wiz.

Also, KC may have a good secondary overall, but they are struggling to get a nickle package together, let alone have any depth. I defy a secondary to be able to stop our receivers if they stay in base personnel. No LB can run with Gates or Green, and especially the LB KC has. They are fine going forward, but they need help in pass coverage, and they are solid coverage guys. But you need to be better then that if they are going to stay with our TE, or RB.
The Chiefs have four defensive backs on their injury report as they prepare to face Philip Rivers and the Chargers potent passing attack.
