It's game day in Antigua (speaking of weed). On Friday night I visited a bar in our community, and I was shocked to see a guy wearing a Herbert jersey. It's the first time I ever saw one here. I talked to him - he is Welsh, but he lived in San Diego for 15 years. He was very knowledgeable about the team, and we both believed that we can beat the Chiefs, but with the sun shining out of Reid's posterior this year, it will be tough. I didn't have my phone with me, so no pictures. But it was a great sign!

Ugh...

the bad job Joe did was in selecting the specific lower cost FA WR and TE he signed. two swings and two misses. he got a lot of hits. nobody bats 1.000. just hurts more because both misses were intended to do the same thing - catch passes and generate passing offense and fill the hole left by KA+MW+Everett.

Matlock can't run routes, 100% correct. he can drift stumble rumble off the line and if defense forgets him Herbie can hit him for 3 yards, same as he could do with any OT-eligible trick play, its not an offense. we're not going to start calling our OTs receivers either. Matlock isn't a FB either - he's an extra lineman in the backfield.

Yep.
The Matlock thing kinda sums up the offense.

the Chargers don't need to win the KC game to get the 5th weed...it would surely improve their chances of getting it, but it's not a do or die type situation...

Actually we do need to win this game to stay at the 5th seed. A loss would put us in a tie with Baltimore who already beat us. So we would drop to the 6th seed, but
tied with Denver with the same record. If we then lose to Denver we'd likely end up as the 7th seed.

So although not critical for our PO hopes it is critical in the PO seeding. Buffalo is losing right now. If the Rams beat Buffalo the game will not be as important
for the Chiefs.

For all this discussion about how bad the offense is--and it has been bad--I will remind people that the team did have an East coast trip on a short week against a team coming off its bye.

Maybe it's unfair to expect the O to continue to be quite this bad.

Welp, I was wrong!

It's a very bad scenario !
