Chiefs at Chargers Pregame Discussion (Week 11)

[richpjr]

Both things can be true. I am not a Lombo fan, I hate his play calling but I also understand that with all the injuries we cannot even run his offense.

We had the 4th highest DVOA on offense last year, so hard to ignore injuries or to say the offense doesn't work.

[gzubeck]

No, I think that just about everyone realizes that. They just think it should not matter "cuz Lombo sux".

Lombo sucks because we were awful before the injuries. He now has an excuse for losing. What the bleep does Bandy provide other than having a man in motion.

It’s a shame we have too many injuries to run his shitty offense

[jamrock]

If KC had the injuries you guys have they would be just as challenged. With Allen and Williams back no reason you cant score against the KC rookie corners etc. Chargers only problem I see is excessive injuries all over the place. Its crazy. Herbert is an elite QB and like Mahomes needs his guys on the field.

If Chargers are healthy I think the advantage KC has is experience in big games and depth.

Very stark and obvious comparison between the two org’s is that KC, which wasn’t desperate for a wR, went out and traded for toney and the chargers, in absolute need of a WR, did nothing

Watching Spiller get stone walled at the line of scrimmage 9 out of ten times should tell you somethings not right. LOL!

Do you think Allen and Williams will play Sunday night?

Better chance that MW plays from what I’ve seen. Maybe 50/50.

Keenan quit on the team

[Boltnut]

Yes. Not sure he would fit under the cap though. LOL

AND he understands the cap!
Sure you don't want to be a Chargers fan...? We could use a little common sense around here.

No one with any common sense would switch from the chiefs to the chargers. No one with any common sense would be a chargers fan. And I include myself in that

True. At least we have a playing surface that doesn't cost us an arm and a leg (pun intended).

LOL. KC decided to trade Hill for 5 picks vs going into cap hell. It has worked out extremely well for both teams.

They signed a guy named Ross who had a spinal injury in college. He was redshirted this year on IR. He has the potential to be a #1 if healthy. This Toney deal is looking like GOLD. He has #1 potential. Moore was their #2 pick. He has amazing skills. Shuster is likely gone after this year. He will get a big contract/ Hardman is also likely gone for the same reason. KC loves getting the comp picks when they have guys waiting in the wings. Mahomes deal is very team friendly and has 9 more years on it. No cap hell in KC. KC has also been awarded several picks over the past few years as there coaches and management are hired by other teams.
10 picks still available for the next draft even after dealing for Toney. Low risk high reward.

Assuming it takes 10 wins to make the playoffs, I see this path for the Chargers:

They close the season in late Dec - early Jan @ Colts, v Rams, @ Broncos. If they have KA/MA, Bosa, Parham & Kelley all playing, they will beat these teams.

They just have to win at least two of the next five: v Chiefs, @Ariz, @Vegas, v 'Fins, v Titans.

I don't know how they are going to rebuild the IDL with Otito gone and we don't know the status of Christian Covington. But with these five players back they are good enough in every other area. Slater might be able to return in the post-season.
