Let's talk about the Chargers

[RunKC]

I didn't see much of any of their game other then a few highlights of them losing at home...well if you call t a home game. The Chiefs might have more fans in that stadium than Chargers fans.

Rivers is Rivers and their best strength is their pass rush of Ingram/Bosa. Their HC is not starting out so hot, and that's bad news for a team facing Andy Reid.

Seems like a very winnable game for us. ESPN power index indicator has us at a 57.4% chance of winning.

[Reerun_KC]

Pressure rivers and win. Or play in your pudding like buttons tends to do and he can pick you apart.
That said. Chiefs 34 displaced 17

The Chargers are "Chargering" hard this season, they could be 2-0 but as always, they find ways to lose games even though they've looked competitive at times.

Chiefs should rock them pretty good.

[jjchieffan]

It would be very disappointing to lose to the Chargers after beating way better teams in the first 2 weeks. I think that our line will struggle against Ingram and Bosa. But Philly has a better front 7 and we just beat them. Not too worried about their offense. Andy and Sutton know how to handle Rivers. Allen will get his, but it won't be enough. It will be interesting to see the matchup between him and Peter's considering what Allen was doing against him last year until he got hurt.

[BlackOp]

The Chargers coaching staff sucks...

[KCrockaholic]

The Chiefs will have no reason not to win this game, so it'll probably be decided by 3 points. KC is just the more well rounded and better coached team.

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

If the Chiefs don't start the season at least 5-1, then we aren't playing to our potential

[Simply Red]

We'll be fine.

[Buehler445]

Keenan Allen can hurt us. Hopefully Rivers tosses 6 picks to Peters.

[KCrockaholic]

I guess the guy to watch out for will be Keenan Allen. He was roasting Peters last year before the injury.

[Hammock Parties]

We're going to stomp a mudhole in their ass so bad we will send the City of Los Angeles back into a second Dark Age.

It's going to be like 40-7 or something else absurdly violent.

[BossChief]

Houston and Jones might have 5 sacks each.

[Simply Red]

I guess the guy to watch out for will be Keenan Allen. He was roasting Peters last year before the injury.

I think MP is a better player now vs then.

[FloridaMan88]

Judging by today's "home" game for the Chargers where it sounded like at least 50% of the crowd were Dolphins fans, the Chiefs could be looking at an Arrowhead West type atmosphere next weekend.

[Simply Red]

which homer got Claynus' log-in

[KCrockaholic]

I think MP is a better player now vs then.

Ya we'd hope so. I kinda think he's about the same imo. But I would hope Peters took that personal last year and will put in the film work to make sure Allen doesn't do that again. If Allen hadn't gone down last year, the Chiefs lose that home opener.

[Hammock Parties]

which homer got Claynus' log-in

You don't need to be a homer to see that the Chiefs are a pretty good team and the Chargers are an 0-2 zit that needs to be popped.

[CoMoChief]

I think their WR's are gonna present a big problem for KC's secondary.

They have 3 very capable wdieouts in Allen, Williams, and Benjamin. It will be important to get to Rivers. Can't give him the time the ChiefsD gave Brady and Wentz. Rivers is a much more easier QB to sack, the guy can hang onto the ball too long at times.

But Gaines is awful, Mitchell isn't that much better but can be serviceable at times. It'd be nice if he played like he did the last 4 games of last season. But back to orig point, Chiefs are going to have to get after Rivers. Allen sure made Peters look bad last year before leaving the game w/ inj, and they've always had a little bit of a rivalry, so expect Allen to bring it. Gordon is a good RB...their OL is trash. (KC OL will certainly have to play better than they did in today's game), and Bosa and Varrett are studs. Gates can still be productive and Henry is an up n coming TE.

Chiefs will have their hands full, regardless of Charger's performance in today's game vs MIA.

[Buck]

It will be 28-13. Chargers will score a TD late to make it 28-20 and then Chiefs will recover the onside kick.

[Ming the Merciless]

We will see them driven before us and hear the lamentations of their women...


The only way we lose is if multiple components of this team fail due to what my dad used to call "big head syndrome"

And gates....he's all pumped up after breaking Tony g record

[BlackOp]

I'm sure he remembers that game...just sayin.

[KChiefs1]

They worry me.

0-2 teams usually play very hard their 3rd game too. Ajayi ran all over them today though. Bosa & Ingram will make Alex have happy feet.

[Chief Roundup]

We should definitely beat the Chargers. It is a divisional game which are always tough. The Chargers have always played us tough. Their offense matches up well with out weakness on defense. It will not be a cake walk.

[Oxford]

Miami got 122 yards on the ground this week. Bet you'll see a lot of Hunt, West, and Hill running with 3 TE's.

Score TD's and control the clock, this should be a win

[TinyEvel]

Their kicker has a case of the Justin Medlocks.

[St. Patty's Fire]

They suck.

They have talent but always shoot themselves in the foot. The score will probably be closer than it should be but we should pound these turds.

If the Chiefs don't start the season at least 5-1, then we aren't playing to our potential

This.

[Gadzooks]

It will be 28-13. Chargers will score a TD late to make it 28-20 and then Chiefs will recover the onside kick.

That's not heartbreaking enough to their fans. The Chargers are all about punishing their fans. They tend to having season long trends for the past 5 years or so. Here are some examples of trends that have fucked up their seasons:

Having 316 blocked punts in one season
Go through every FA Center in the league, as each one got injured, (they also went through 42 long snappers)
Have every OLB get injured
Have every WR get injured

Last year the injuries were spread out but the new trend was to lose in the final minutes. They even ran this script against Cleveland on Christmas Eve.
This year they seem to have a more specific trend of losing due to game ending FGs specifically.
I predict 23-21 KC based on a last minute FG, if not, KC will just kick their asses handily.

[Hammock Parties]

This is what we are going to do to the Chargers:

3-0

[CaliforniaChief]

I certainly wish we had EB to patrol Antonio Gates, and Keenan Allen is an issue. But knowing the Chargers' luck, it's quite possible he breaks an ankle hopping out of his car coming to the stadium.

That is one snake-bitten franchise. (Largely self-inflicted, but still.)

How are the Chargers going to fill up that big new stadium when they can't even fill a 27,000 seat soccer stadium?

[Discuss Thrower]

Tarp game.

[Rausch]

Tarp game.

I saw a lot of dip-shittery in the SD/Miami game.

SD defense looked respectable (not as good as it should have) and SD looks capable of long drives.

3rd downs will be huge in this game...

[Bowser]

Hunter Henry is going to be a handful for us, as will Allen. Phillip will keep them in the game like he does in every game.

We keep Alex off the turf and control Ingram and Bosa (or slow them down, anyway) and we'll win.

[BryanBusby]

Yeah there will be tarp over some seats at the soccer stadium.

SD had a let-down week and didn't play up to their talent level.

We better expect their best possible game...

[BryanBusby]

The Chargers are in a whirlwind of shit (LA move was so, so bad), they somehow managed to downgrade at coaching and Rivers is slipping.

This isn't a trap game. They just lost to a frumpy ass QB (still doesn't give a shit) that preparing to be an announcer up till 1 month ago. They fucking suck.

[Bowser]

SD had a let-down week and didn't play up to their talent level.

Agreed.

The Chargers are a talented team, they really are. They just find ways to squander that talent, year in and year out. They're never really a "shitty" team, they just find ways to lose. It's kind of fascinating to watch, really.

Props to guys like Buck and Gadzooks for hanging in there with their fandom.

In many ways they remind me of us.

For years we just couldn't win those close games.

Over time (and with continuity) it seems we've finally learned how to win close games.

That said if you step on your dick just once you can fall down hard, head first...

Rivers is still playing though. I think this is the week the wipes out any playoff hopes and will kickstart retirement talks.

It's not losing to the Chiefs as much as being 0-3, which is practically a death sentence for playoff hopes. The Chiefs just happen to be that third team.

Being a shitty team with nothing to play for, in a city that hates you that requires a 4 or so hour commute will take its toll.

I don't see him doing that shit to 40.

I really ;thought they would win that game yesterday, I didnt get a chance to watch it, but thought they should win it.:hmmm:

[PAChiefsGuy]

Every game is tough... Chargers game will be no different. As long as Phillip Rivers is there they are always a threat. That guy can get hot and light up defenses.

That said Chargers are not one of the better NFL teams. They have a lot of weaknesses that the Chiefs should be able to exploit and as good as Rivers is he does tend to throw a lot of INTs. Hopefully we get him this game.

We should win this game as long as we don't make any dumb mistakes.

[mcaj22]

this game screams trap game. A crappy team the Chiefs should beat by 40 that Andy likes to overlook and its a 20-17 nailbiter in the 4th quarter with the CP gameday thread going nuts because Alex cant move the ball.

Like clockwork

[CupidStunt]

I don't often predict blowouts, but I feel good about this team and they should roll over the Chargers. They remind me of some past 4-12-type Chiefs teams: they have a handful of stud players, and yet are mostly a terrible team.

We should be able to move the ball at will. I'll say 30-17 W.

[Best22]

[B_Ambuehl]

The chargers always have elite talent at a multitude of positions but they also usually have one major area of the team that is sub practice squad caliber and that ends up costing them big time. In recent history it's been the Oline. In years past it's been special teams & Dline. I remember one year they gave up like 6 special teams TD returns and gave up 5 blocked punts, which cost them 5 games, but they still won 9 games, barely missing the playoffs. Other years they had 3 guys off the practice squad manning their Dline.

They had a pretty good kicker but ran him out of town to save money on this new kicker Koo and he's already cost them a football game, maybe 2.

I find it interesting right now they're one of the few teams in the NFL close to achieving Andy Reids "ideal" blueprint. Andy has said he wants 2 good corners, 2 good pass rushers, 2 good tackles, and a good QB. If you have that you'll have success. The Chargers have 2 pro bowl caliber corners, 2 pro bowl pass rushers, a quarterback, and 1 offensive tackle. Their interior Oline and right tackle are complete garbage though and Rivers doesn't have the mobility to succeed without a good oline.

[Halfcan]

I think the Chargers will have to play a close to perfect game for 4 quarters to beat the Chiefs. Knowing Rivers- this won't happen. He will get his yards, but as usual, Sutton will find the kinks in his armor and shut their offense down the second half.

I am not sure they can stop our running game or cover Kelce and Hill without giving up big TDs.

38 -24. Chiefs win it.

[scho63]

I hope we don't take these guys for granted because everyone in the media has been kicking the Chargers like a soccer ball.

They usually get up big for us and we are probably their biggest rival in the AFW West, not the Raiders and not the Broncos since Elway left.

[gold_and_red]

0-2 talented and desperate team that could just as easily be 2-0, at home against a favored divisional rival. What could go wrong?

[O.city]

[RINGLEADER]

This is not a pushover team...

This is very true. We're two weeks in and we still can't really say who is good and bad.

We think the Chiefs are good because everyone expected the Pats and Eagles to be good (and they probably are).

Everyone is anointing Denver today because of the win yesterday, but for all we know the Giants are a disaster and the win that Dallas posted over NY is borderline meaningless.

The Raiders have played no one so who knows. Could be world-beaters and could also fall on their faces when they face good teams.

But I will say that the Chargers went to Denver and should have at least tied the game. They played the Dolphins hard to the end and should have won. They're not push-overs, they have a good QB and some receiving threats that match up well against us. I expect a very close game.

[Marcellus]

[DaneMcCloud]

I'm most curious to see their plan against Keenan Allen, who's been a one man wrecking machine against the Chiefs secondary over the years.

The Chargers offensive line is very vulnerable, so I think the D Line is going to be in Rivers' face all day.

Don't they also move Keenan Allen around? So we may see him against Gaines and Mitchell, not looking forward to it. He runs a lot of crossers, would love to see Sorensen light him up.

Keenan was roasting Peters last year before he tore is ACL.. I hope sorenson does not end up covering him in the slot.

[penbrook]

Here's a fun fact. Sorenson played 100% of the defensive snaps vs the Eagles

[underEJ]

Chargers absolutely should have won yesterday. I actually had just a moment of pity for them as they were trying to get the crowd into it during Miami's last drive. One or two guys waving their arms to fire up a 50/50 basically neutral crowd. They may not actually have a home crowd the whole season. I don't feel sorry for the organization at all, just the players that have to work for them.

My pity lasted about three minutes, and now I am getting fired up to go next week and be part of the visiting mini sea of red!

[BoneKrusher]

Phyllis Rivers to Keenan Allen could burn us.
Better keep pressure on Phyllis.

Chargers can't run the ball or stop it.

They are going to have a Long day against the Chiefs.

https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/team/los-angeles-chargers/stats

[ModSocks]

The Chargers are currently in their Herm years. Anthony Lynn seems to think he's a RB maven and trying desperately to force a running game. This offense is the Herm Edwards special; RRPP.

They're currently phasing out their old QB and it's quite obvious Lynn doesn't trust Rivers to throw the ball. The game plan against Denver was so god awful...Run...run...pass on third and long, punt. I've never seen a coach so adament about not throwing the football.

And they fucking suck at it.

At one point in that Miami game Melvin Gordon had 6 carries for 0 yards and a TD. No, that's not a typo.

That Chargers/Dolphins game i watched yesterday might be the worst game i'll watch all season. Talk about ineptitude.....

That high flying Chargers passing game is dead. DEAD.

Remember the way Herm Edwards came in and dismantled an aging but effective offense?

Yeah that's what Anthony Lynn is doing to the Chargers, just swap Green for Rivers.

[Eleazar]

They suck.

Next

[Halfcan]

The only scrambling ability Rivers has is to step up in the pocket- only now he will be stepping right into the back of his O line as Jones, Bailey, and Logan are pushing them like a blocking sled.

This might be a 5- 8 sack day for the Chiefs.

Reasons for me to feel some concern about this game:

1. letdownletdownletdownletdownletdown THIS IS A CLASSIC LETDOWN GAME. We all know that so I'll move on.

2. Chargers offense. Assuming the Chargers can pull their heads out of their butts, their offense is super talented. The OL is competent, Rivers is Rivers, Melvin Gordon can actually run the ball well now, and they've still got a Hall of Fame tight end and Keenan Allen.

3. They could have an Eagles-esque passrush. They have probably the best pair of edge rushers in the NFL. They've still got Corey Liuget, and Brandon Mebane used to be an awesome nose tackle.

4. This isn't as big of a deal to me, but Verrett is an outstanding corner that can always make big plays. Alex Smith isn't one to overly challenge really good corners anyways, so this isn't too much of a weakness, but I really like Verrett a lot.

Verrett is out with injury and isn't likely to play this Sunday.

Keenan Allen can have all the yards he wants. Just don't let Melvin Gordon get big yardage plays and that should force Phyllis into long passing situations. Feast.

They still have the talent to overcome some of that. They've deserved a lot of what they've got but even with injuries they've been in a ton of games the last two years. They just have so many crushing losses. They have the talent to play KC close.

I would have to imagine Allen remembers the game against us when he got hurt. I would think he will be fired up. I still think KC wins but I would not be shocked to see Rivers and their pass rush do enough.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

In my mind this game is a huge test to see where we're really at now. If we win this we are pretty much solid. The Chargers have a hell of a lot of talent.

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

One receiver isn't going to carry the Chargers to victory. I'm content with leaving Peters on an island with keenan allen and focusing on winning the battle in the trenches. If Phyllis gets 2nd and short plays, that's where they'll do the slaughtering.

The likelihood of the Chargers winning with Melvin getting 4ypc and > 80 yards is much higher than if Keenan Allen gets a 100 yard game and a few first downs.

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

Ajayi and CJ Anderson averaged more than 4 ypc on this Chargers front 7.

Kareem Hunt is definitely getting fed the ball more than the 13 he got last game

In my mind this game is a huge test to see where we're really at now. If we win this we are pretty much solid. The Chargers have a hell of a lot of talent.

People are underestimating them based on their record the last few years. They're relatively healthy for the first time in awhile and lost a few close games to playoff contenders. This isn't the Browns and I don't see a cakewalk.

[RaidersOftheCellar]

Which D is better...Miami's or the Chiefs?

I don't follow Miami.

[ModSocks]

Some of you are way overestimating the Chargers.

They've got two good pass rushers that WILL get theirs in Melvin Ingram and Joey Bosa, but the rest of their LB's are JAGS at best.

Verrett is hurt (again) and won't play. Their safeties are meh.

They have a good 3-set of WR's but Lynn doesn't utilize them as he's forcing a square peg into a round hole, trying to turn that offense into a run first offense.

Melvin Gordon still has yet to crack 4.0 YPC and this is his 3rd season...and now he's with a coach that insists on running the ball.

This is not Norv Turner's high flying passing game anymore guys.

Again, remember Herm Edwards when he came in a wrecked Dick's "arena ball" offense?

Yeah, that's what's happening with Rivers and Lynn, 'cept Gordon is no Larry Johnson.

The Chargers aren't going to be able to stop Hill & Kelce, and very well may struggle with Hunt. BTW, I'm the newest Chiefs fan in the U.S.A., grew up with Chargers season tickets in San Diego, but can't support them anymore in L.A. (L.A. was always the enemy). I have always appreciated the Chiefs (and hated the Raiders and Broncos) mainly because of Lamar Hunt & the AFL, etc.. I've been to Arrowhead for the Chiefs / Chargers game every year since 2003 and thought it was the best NFL experience I've ever had, so I'm ditching the Bolts and rooting for the Chiefs now. It was a hard pill to swallow, but I can't stand L.A. and the team has let me down since 1973. I know it'll probably take time for anyone here to accept me, but I'll be at the game in December with my new Chiefs gear on! Ok, sorry for the novel. Beat the crap out of the Chargers!!!

That's awesome. Welcome aboard. Picked the perfect time to become a Chiefs fan. We have a very talented young team with a first round QB waiting in the wings that shows a lot of potential. After years of soul crushing because Chiefssss. There seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel. :D

[TulsaTime]

Thanks guys! I'm excited to cheer for a team that actually cares about their fans and is trying to put a winning team together. I've been crushed my whole life by those idiots. LOL Plus, as I said, Arrowhead is amazing, and I live less than 4 hours away!

[ModSocks]

There's been a lot of Chief converts here in San Diego.

I hate it.

I enjoyed being the "bad guy". The lone Chiefs fan in a sea of blue.

Now everyone is jumping aboard the bandwagon.

One of my wife's childhood friends is now a "chiefs fan". My nephew is now a Chiefs fan. An old buddy came by the shop yesterday who was a Chargers fan, "HOW 'BOUT THEM CHIEFS!?".

I would normally accuse you of bandwagoning, but I can see that you're a rational person in your choice of teams, and your old team abandoned you. Welcome to the club.

This is the type of game that the Chiefs usually lose even though they have dominated the AFC West the last few years.

[Aspengc8]

Chargers will look to exploit KC's weaknesses on D- they will run right at Ford, and look to put pressure on Gains & Sorensen in coverage. Chiefs D should be able to get to rivers rushing just 4. I expect to see a large dose of Hunt/West on the ground this game. Tough road games you bring your run game & defense. I would run a lot more play-action than we saw last week.. more like the Pats game.

Ford and Houston have been flip flopping sides in each of the first two games and Ford's tackling has improved.

The San Diego offensive line is garbage.

I expect Ford and Houston to wreak havoc on Russell Okung.

I think MP is a better player now vs then.

How do you get better when no one throws your way ? Oh yeah MP gets burnt by TH in practice on a regular basis so now KA will seem very lethargic to MP now, I get your logic here.:hmmm::D

This.

Don't care that the actual Charger team outnumbers their fans sitting in the seats. This is still a divisional game which are always difficult and they have Rivers who more often than not always plays well against us and without Berry makes it even more difficult IMHO.

[Halfcan]

I hope the Chiefs D. plays aggressive the entire game against the LA Carpetbaggers.

We should be able to stop their pitiful running game and get several turnovers from Cry Baby Rivers.

Agreed. Rather see JHouston attacking Rivers from the start.. get him rattled.. make them adjust and then suffer for having to focus so much on JHouston.

I don't see why Sutton should let Rivers get comfortable early on. Slam dunk these fools by the half, and maybe people can get their wood on with Mahomos mopping up late in the 3rd. :)

Exactly, Rivers will fumble or throw an interception when he gets rattled. This year we have the offense to turn those mistakes into points.

I doubt it. When another team has a via deep threat Sutton doesn't attack, he pulls back. If Allen catches a deep pass we will rush 3 or 4 and drop everyone else back in coverage.

Which keeps the D. out there for long drives while putting extra stress on our secondary.

You have Baily, Logan, Jones, Ford and Houston that can put pressure from all angles. IMO Mr. Buttons should let the stallions run free. LA does not have the kind of O Line that can shut all five of these guys down an entire game.

Turnovers will happen.

I feel like we are getting Ehinger back at the right time. No offense, Witz. You are showing some promise as a worthy starting candidate... but the depth is obviously needed with Morse on the shelf a bit.

Well and Berry :/

Their talent is poor and their coaching is worse.

The Chiefs would have to shit themselves in order to lose and I mean, really, really shit the bed.

Rivers looks done.

I agree with the coaching.

I don't agree about the talent. Rivers can still play imo. Henry is a good TE. Good WR's. Very good CBs and very good DE's.

I don't expect KC to lose. It is however a division game and that alone, in any division, makes it a possibility. SD has enough talent and KC plays down to opponents often enough where I am not penciling this game in just yet. I could very easily see Smith getting hit and jittery like he did last week.

Chiefs play better on the road. If this was in Arrowhead, I'd be more worried

I'd much rather the missing Charger be an equally good DL vs CB.

Smith doesn't really care who he's throwing against.. but he sure does care about the front pressure busting through. Liuget, Mebane, and Bosa are gonna be an issue all day, I fear.

Bosa is the real deal and i believe he will get home at least once or twice on sunday, regardless of what he's done to this point through 2 games. He's still the guy who had almost 11 sacks through 12 games as a rookie last year.

Much like any good player, they're poised to break out at any moment.

With that said, he still doesn't worry me.

Bosa and Ingram. Liuget hasn't done shit since he's been paid and Mebane is more of run stopper these days, not a pass rusher.

Sure, and I mentioned earlier that Bosa and Ingram will likely put some pressure on Smith and maybe get a sack or two but the Chargers front 7, and even their secondary, is nothing like what the Chiefs faced last Sunday in the Eagles.

Jim Schwartz is a bad ass coordinator, too. Gus Bradley hasn't had a good defense, despite an enormous amount of talent in Jax, since his days in Seattle.

Hope you are right, of course, but we'll see whether they bring the intensity this weekend.

I don't follow the Bolts closely, but if motivated, guys like Liuget and Mebane can abuse our interior OL. The edge rush is nothing to sneer at, right.. though I guess their ILBs can be exploited by us.

I just rewatched the Chargers / Dolphins game. I think our Defense will be fine. The thing that stood out to me is their defense plays fast and seems to be quick at diagnosing plays and getting Linebackers and safetys going to the ball. They seem to swarm fast.

We need to open them up with several deep shots .
