Chiefs at Chargers Pre Game Discussion (Wk 1)

[Fouts2herbert]

While this is a cool event to be part of , it is giving up a home game against the Chiefs. With the Chiefs big profile it will likley be more of a road game. There was a mob at the airport when the Chiefs landed last night. Chargers landed to no fanfare.

Instead of a so called home game, we will likely be playing 2 road games against them.

Please just let us finally beat these guys tomorrow.

The Chargers haven’t come close to having a real home game experience since they left San Diego…nothing to see here…

Chargers rookie Omarion Hampton will start at running back against Chiefs. Rich Eisen announced that on his show , revealing that Harbaugh told him in a production meeting the rookie will start.

Yes , my FF team is relieved to hear that.

Wednesday it was suggested Najee would start, but today Harbaugh is saying Omarion.

Because nobody has seen either team play. its not more complicated than that. I agree with your assessment, my 2c is that KC improved the least of the entire division and they could get ass whoopings by multiple AFCW foes. We'll go first

The Chiefs got their rear ends handed to them in the SB. They will be keen to make amends. This game is more important to them than it is to us.

What I don't understand is why the NFL made this a home game for the Chargers. The Chiefs are obviously going to be more popular in a foreign
country than the Chargers. If they follow the NFL they surely know all about the Chiefs. Playing @KC in the second game is a tough venue for
any team. So we're basically playing 2 away games against the Chiefs. I'm not a conspiracy guy, but this stinks.

The report that Hampton will be the starter doesn't come as a surprise. He was working with the first team offense all training camp while Harris was on NFI list with an eye injury .
Rich Eisen mentioned on his show that Harris does not start.

I certainly hope that Harris getting activated is not about his never missing a game bullshit…if he’s active he better play and be useful…otherwise inactivate his ass and make sure our backs can stay fresh…

I expect the RB situation to be the same as it was last year: 2 guys will share carries. Whoever gets more yards gets more carries.

I really don't believe Harbaugh is that kinda guy.

It will start as a split, but the more talented Hampton will be hard to keep off the field and will take over more carries as the season goes on

Isn’t this one of our leap years when we have 9 home games anyway? I think they’ll still have 8 games at sco-fi correct?

that might be a possible explanation, 🤷♂️

I think the Chargers had a choice in participating in this game as a home game and signed off, seeing it as a good opportunity to promote the Charger brand.

If Harbaugh cared about that stuff he'd start Najee over Hampton, which he said he isn't. Najee has never missed a start in 4 years. This game will be the first

Is leap year when you wear a kilt and toss around telephone poles and free beer ?
