Let's Talk Chargers

[Black Bob]

Keenan Allen is playing at an All Pro level right now and he worries me. However, Peters will be ready to prove himself coming off suspension and I expect a big game from him. I wish they'd let him shadow Allen. For the first time, I think it could happen because they finally have a corner in Revis who can play inside and outside on both sides.

I would like to see us focus on shutting down the run and leaving the corners on islands. Jenkins needs to continue to get more reps than Logan. He really collapsed the pocket.

On offense, running is going to be difficult. We need to pull out every screen in the book. I expect West to have his biggest game of the season. He won't just be in on pistol and shotgun formations. He will be out there in single back and I form. If they can get him matched up against Ingram a couple of times that will be huge. I think Kelce will also have a big day.

Last, don't expect a lot of deep shots with Bosa and Ingram coming hard. That said, Alex could have a nice day running the ball.

Chiefs: 27
Chargers: 21

Thoughts?

If he does, it probably means Alex goes for over 400 yardsPassing , only way Chargers would be that loose against the run, unfortunately.

So 300 yards rushing for Hunt, and 400 yards throwing for Smith. This I got to see!!!

yup...anything that resembles or is worse than the last 8 weeks makes the Chiefs sitting on the couch with the Broncos during playoffs.

Chiefs have beaten bad Broncos and Raiders teams and lost to Jets, Bills, Giants, Raiders and Cowboys. Not sure why anyone thinks this game isn't going to look like the first game last year before Allen got injured tripping over a leaf on the field.

Chargers 42
Chiefs 17

Unless Keenan Allen trips on a leaf and blows out his knee, he will be running slants all day long for 12-15 yards. Especially with that nice eight yard cushion that Peters/Sutton likes to give.

Keenan Allen was a non-factor last time they played. Never seen so much overreaction from one half of football (the whole team was playing like dog****, not just Peters). If the Chiefs had played the Giants, Bills, and Jets with the intensity and energy they played the Raiders we would probably be 10-3, maybe 9-4.

For whatever reason, the Charger offense struggles against Justin Houston. Last three games that Justin Houston played in, the Chargers have scored 10, 3, and 7 points.

Get some pressure on Phyllis and things will be just fine. If no QB pressure, SD is victorious.

Yeah, I really don't like being so negative about them. I don't trust them anymore and am tired of being disappointed.

Hope they win, won't be surprised if they lose.

True, but we looked entirely different vs the Raiders. Chiefs are underdogs at home to a team they've beaten 7 straight times. This Chiefs defense is far better at home. Most expected the Raiders to mop up last week in Arrowhead, but the Chiefs made a statement on the first Raider drive

I just think both teams are gonna leave it on the field. Chiefs-Chargers is usually close, but the Chiefs seem to have more success vs the Sparklers than anyone else.

I expect a close game.

Rivers is quietly playing as one of the best QB's in the league right now. He's been on an outstanding 4 game stretch.

That O-line is holding up. They've revamped it since last season and you can tell. The running game is still mediocre but Rivers looks comfortable in the pocket most of the time.

He still turns to mush when you get pressure on him though. Get enough pressure and i've seen him completely crumble and get happy feet this season. Problem is, it's a lot harder to get to him this year. I don't know what the sack numbers are, but just the eye test.

Keenan Allen has had several 10+ catch games this season and has looked uncoverable at times. Peters needs to prove if he's a baller or not. This is it, dude. Come out and play with a fire under your ass in a huge game vs a division rival, against a bitter on the field-foe. If you can't rise to the occasion for something like this then you're just not who i thought you were.

Chargers defense has been stout. I know everyone is jocking them right now, but im not sold on the interior of that D. Bosa has been excellent but Ingram has cooled off a bit lately. Butler is dealing with a leg issue and will likely be a game time decision. I expect him to play.

[ModSocks]

The Chiefs will need to capture some of that '16 magic IMO. They're going to need some big plays. That's stating the obvious, but you know what i mean. A 'Reek kick return TD, a pick 6, a well timed fumble, etc.

I think you mean Casey Heyward. Also, Perryman, being back from injury, should only help their interior D, although, If I'm the Chiefs I'm still running the ball all day.
