Chargers at Chiefs (-4.5) Pre Game Discussion (Wk 14)

[richpjr]

How about Chark?

Doesn’t Harbaugh owe us an explanation as to why he isn’t playing?

Still injured or what?

In one of his pressers last week he said the opportunity is there for Chark to earn playing time and it was up to him to take advantage of it. Popper kind of hinted about the blocking being an issue so I wonder if that is it.

I hope you guys blow them out!

[jamrock]

DJ Chark should be fresh for this one!!!

[QuiteFrankly]

I think the Chargers will follow their normal pattern lately. Play competitive for the first few quarters..maybe even have a lead...and then slowly let it evaporate because the offense just ceases to function.

With the Chiefs..their coaches and how they can adjust..and how many times they have come back this year to win close games? They are the best.

I just don't see it.

I cant help but think Chark's personality or work habits have turned off the staff...I have no reports or evidence of this...save circumstantial...why pull Reagor off the streets and give him chance after chance...but deny a guy who you went after early in the team build?

Does he have some injury clause? How long did we sign him for?

Maybe they are holding him back as a secret weapon...a bomb to drop on KC...or in the playoffs...lol...cant keep a straight face on that one...

Yes. We could be up by 30 at the half and I would still be nervous.

Chark was signed for 1 year. $3M

Correct

Chiefs also are a the type of team that can punt four times in a row - but when they need to move the chains and score - they kick it into another gear

But hey, 8-4 - will take the opportunity - going to be tough

Just looked at temps - should be in the upper 30's to low 40's - thats not too bad

[sonorajim]

I think they keep it close until the 4th but we're not winning this one.

A close L is most likely, close W maybe. KC isn't pulling away in the 4th.

I see Sunday forecasts warming slightly over the weekend there: High 53, low 40, Wind 10mph and dying down in the evening, 10% chance of precip. looks like nice football weather to me too for KC

KC's last four:
W vs Den by 2
L at Buf by 9
W at Car by 3
W vs LVR by 2

I guarantee that Harbaugh, Roman and Minter have seen all the tricks and bad calls. DJ wants him some Swifty. We'll play to the end.

PS: Raiders had to commit a bad hike suicide fumble in the closing seconds to lose. OMG!

"Realistically even going 11-6 or 10-7 will likely get a wc."
Yes, losing this one won't be so awful because the schedule works out for us, at least under Harbaugh it should. Assuming the L to the chiefs, if we can't muster at least a split between TB, Denver, NE, and LV, then we don't deserve a slot. Best if we can go into game 17 without anything at stake. would hate to give the Raiders a chance at playing spoiler.
