    Easy one to predict. If our offense does not show up, we lose. By hook or crook, KC is the master of winning close games. The game
    is also in KC, not a great place for the Chargers in recent history. Unfortunately our 2 biggest offensive weapons may not play.
    Dobbins is out. Ladd is dealing with a knee injury. Does not bode well for our offense. Defense will have to come up big just
    to keep the game close.

    On the bright side it looks like we will make the POs. The placing will depend on beating Denver. That should be a huge game.
    Denver will be tough. Their D is playing almost as well as ours. I'll take Herbert over Nix. Yes, I know. "We don't have WRs". We don't have any stars other than Ladd but guys, yes.
    Hell, everybody's tough, except NE. KC, Tampa, Den, Raiders.

Is this a game where Mahomes coughs up a few INTs (that aren't overturned by a goofy flag)? Do the Chiefs get called for offensive holding for once? If the game is called clean, and the defense shows up, this could be an ugly game on national TV. Like ugly, ugly. If it reaches that point, I could see both teams struggling to break 20 points, a 16 to 9 sort of score line. I don't think the Chargers win, but I do think this is going to be a close, ugly game and one the Chargers could win. Herbert will need to run to make it work.
      Is Ladd for sure out?

      I worry about Herbert trying to do too much running in a game like this and getting hurt.

      He needs to be very selective on when to run and just SLIDE.

        He is working through a couple of things

        No he is not out for sure yet. We may know more Wednesday but sounds like he might not be practising. Knees are not usually quick turn arounds

          Maybe run Gus a little more so he can get a some rhythm going. We know the Chiefs have a decent run defense but something must be done to keep them from teeing off on Herbert every friggin play. Maybe run some screens and short slants with Vidal. For goodness sakes, mix it up a bit Roman! You can even roll Herbert out for a wrinkle or two. Just wanted to add that I'm not ragging on Roman, I know that he doesn't have a whole lot to work with right now.

            Might not be the worst thing to sit Ladd and force Herbert to find other weapons. He's dialed in to him like he was with KA

              He is a smart QB. He throws to the only guy he has that separates and gets open, and reliably catches the football!!

              Mind you with Keenan he had Mike and Ekler

                  I agree.Herbert has overlooked others for Ladd and run Gus / Vidal.

                    The chiefs have struggled against CAR, DEN and LV
                    3 teams that the Chargers have beaten by a total of 42 points !

                      might get me booted, but you're a DICKHEAD!!

                      and the biggest difference between you and I, is I respect my wife, my best friend in life. you have proven you have no respect for her or yourself.
                      Nah. He and i dont really jibe. You are out of line with this comment no doubt. But im not banning you. I know you have been through a lot. Just dont say that stuff again brother.

                      Sometimes the ones who are really down want to bring everyone down with them. It makes a lot of sense to just ignore some people.

                        Denver's D just gave up over 400 yards to Winston, over 200 to Jeudy

                          My wife is pretty awesome. She accepts me for who I am, so she's like an angel.

                          I always hate seeing anyone banned, I regret those rare times it has had to happen. I hope the guys will get back to getting along and just fighting about football
