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

[sonorajim]

Nope... The offense needs to step up BIGTIME. We have to play better than we have all season, time to separate the men from the boys.

The offense needs to play as well as it did wks 8 to 12 where we averaged 27.4 ppg. We don't need a new record.points scored with a D that allow less than 20 ppg on avg..
This defense isn't "iffy". Cincy and Balt are the only teams who scored over 20 against us and only one of them got a W.
Our O output vs Atl sucked but we didn't give them the game. I don't know why we didn't run more. Gus and Vidal were doing well.Gus 5.33 ypc, Vidal 5.0

We are going to need Perryman and Hart back for the Chefs game

I am watching ESPN clip just trashing Kirk Cousins. They also highlighted the Maye interception. Cousins is playing really poorly of late. 0-3 in his last starts. O TDs 6 Interceptions QBR rating 20 points lower than previous games

Kirk Cousins is playing terrible football right now and it was a big factor in our win, whether our defense played well or not. I think its fair to say if we were playing a QB firing on all cyinders, the 9 points our offense scored doesnt win the game.

We can agree not to call it luck. How about abysmal QB play

We can also say we played an early east coast game on short week and came away with a win, ugly or not, and that is well done, Both things can be true.

Something is up with him for sure, he's never had a top tier arm but his arm was decent, yesterday it looked like he was trying to push the ball, like he couldn't get the zip on it that he's accustomed to getting, my guess is he's dealing with some kind of throwing shoulder issue just from watching him play it just seemed like it to me, it kind of reminds of when Baker Mayfield made the mistake of playing through a shoulder injury and it cost him his starting spot in Cleveland...

Great point!! Cousins normally takes way better care of the ball. He may not have elite arm talent, but he has always been a competent QB who normally makes good decisions. I agree, Minter’s defense confused him. They would show blitz at first, then slide into show coverage to only eventually blitz.

I disagree, think he is injured and forcing the ball. The pick 6 int was a floating duck pass. Something wrong with Cousins

[Florida fan]

The Raiders f upped the last play, Raiders should have beaten Chiefs….we should win this game

I think he’s got a what, 15 year career, of playing great and then choking when it matters

I'm betting both play.

I need to check IR to see who is eligible to come back this week.

All hand on deck!

It looks like Rumph and Rice are eligible to come back for Chefs

We do not play well in the second half, the Chiefs do. We have to drive up the score and play our best game of the year on O to get the W.
