Chiefs @ Chargers Pregame Discussion (wk 15)

[21&500]

The Chiefs have won six in a row after getting drilled by Tennessee: five of the six have been at home.
Its not like they are beating good teams...but they are winning.

1. Giants
2. Green Bay (without Rodgers)
2. Dallas (sandwiched between home losses to Denver & Las Vegas)
3. Denver
4. Raiders (twice)

I was about to say, Herbo is the best QB they will have faced during their lucky win streak.
We're in their heads, mahomes is going to do something stupid like he did today when he threw for a bomb while up 32 points instead of running for the first down
had Hill dingged on that one.

Our 2nd year QB is not only already at or better than Mahomes, but he's already smarter and more mature

sure we can lose, but I'm predicting a convincing win.

Is the hill injury serious enough to keep him out Thursday? Lol

It’ll be a close tight game like it usually has been the last few years.

Herbert has performed really well in prime time games - lets hope he continues to shine on Thursday.

The Chief’s pass rush scares me a lot, especially going against the right side of our line.

Let’s see how this plays out.

Good point. The team seems to like the spotlight.

[Steve]

I think the O is up to it. The right side of the OL has been playing a lot better and has not given up anywhere near the pressures the last few games.

The problem will probably be the D. If they show up and play smart football, don't blow assignments, and can pressure Mahommes, we will probably win. If we let their running game plays keep-away from our offense, Mahommes will get to pick his shots and they will keep Herbert off the field.

If the rest of the season is anything to go on, we probably don't need to win out, but it would certainly help. Only 3 teams have been eliminated from the AFC so far, and the rest of the conference is all 6-7 or better, so it is anyone guess who will do what. The endless permutations and combinations.

If we lose vs KC, they have a 2 game lead, and tiebreakers. So, if we lose, we can pretty much kiss winning the division goodbye, but you have to figure that going 3-1 would be a necessity to get a wild card.

If we win vs KC, then we still need to make sure we win out or KC will probably be able to catch us and win the division based on a better record overall. We still have somewhat of a better chance, based on the head to heads of the other leaders right now, but with so many other teams being so close, you have to wonder if the teams who are poised to be the playoff teams with 4 weeks to go is who they will end up to be.

[Charge!]

I believe that. We are improved.

i believe that too.

If both teams play well, this will be a hell of a good tough battle......likely a shootout......

If we win, then every game after that becomes a must win.... to win division.....

[Parcells]

I think 2-2 gets us into the playoffs at 10-7. We have tiebreakers over Cincy and Cleveland.

The Chiefs defense is pretty good right now and they have an excellent DC. They tend to feast on teams like the Raiders and give up quite a few yards to many others. Clark and Jones are the big threat, and if we can stymie them a bit, I really like our chances. Like the Chiefs, our defense is also making strides. We will beat them if we can get some heat on Mahomes. Really looking forward to this game. Our seats are in Section 211, row 3, seats 4 & 5. Hope to see some of you there. It's going to be loud and fun.

Signing Linsley and drafting Staley were the best moves to counter Jones and Clark. I think our offense can score on them. Last time we got a bunch of TO’s to kill drives. I doubt we’ll be so fortunate so the D is going to have to be able to get off the field. Keenan got some rest as did Asante and Derwin. We need everybody Thursday night.

[SuperCharged]

Slater is going to ragdoll Supa Mel.... Welcome back and prepare to be shut down. :lmao::lmao:

[ChargersPowderBlue]

The last time we won a home game against KC, Chase Daniel started at QB for the Chiefs. Who is now the backup to Herbert. That was ages ago.

[Heatmiser]

This will be a fun game to watch. Staley showed the NFL the formula to stopping Mahomes. How will Reid react? Chiefs special teams is superior to the Chargers, how much of a factor will that be? Does Samuel play and how rusty is he if he does? Can Ekeler go and be effective (ankles are often worse the next day) and the CHargers have no back up to him that can do anything. Is the Chiefs defense for real? Chris Jones on the inside = all pro. On the edge = below average. Which team has a let down after strong wins yesterday?
