Jerk slowly, boys. We got a long day ahead of us.

You said the Chargers offense is legit and the Chiefs defense is shorthanded.

The Chiefs defense is legit and the Chargers offense is also shorthanded.

You failed to mention that 2nd part.

I picked the Chiefs to win but didn't do it in a nice enough way. Got it.

It wasn't about being nice. It was about being accurate in your analysis.

This all started with people talking about the Chargers scoring 30, which isn't likely to happen given the circumstances, especially since they only managed 30 in the first game, against an awful defense, and they were fully healthy.

No way I'm jerking slowly if that means what I hope it means.

So their RT isn't particularly good either.

Chargers are in a world of hurt.

Nervous energy today. Too many key players out...variables are whacky in this one.

KC offense plays to its potential, it will be a double-digit victory. Offense plays down again, and repeats past mistakes (dropped passes, tipped passes for INT), we lose a close one.

If Jones plays, all bets are off. CJ + Melvin Ingram = devastation of the banged up Chargers OL. Herbert will be hit and pressured regularly.

I picked the Chiefs to win 33-30 in OT. That's not a wild prediction.

Other than Linsley and Slater, they've had issues off and on all year.

No it's not.

Sorry, I came off like a dick. My bad.

No worries, man.

I hope these electric bitches get electrocuted in the peenus

Wasn't Schofield on the field for that beatdown in Denver where we gang-raped Flacco?

The most offensive part of that post is implying Slater would be the offensive rookie of the year, if linemen received such awards. Have they not heard of CREED F-ing HUMPHREY??? They will tonight...yes...they will tonight.

In...


For the beat down of LA at the Rams place...

Good question.

if both their starting tackles are out, I expect stupid blitzing tonight.

Given the situation, I wouldn't blitz. I'd rush 4 and drop 7, play cover 2, and keep everything in front of them.

Much like the Chiefs offense, if you take away the big plays and force Herbert to be patient in the pocket you have a much better chance of stopping them.

Man, how would you like to be named after a dry, flavorless cookie?

I'd dip her in something warm and sweet and munch munch munch ;)

Another thing:

Before you say anything about defenses against the Chiefs offense, bear in mind that drops are a huge part in the Chiefs stalling drives.

Guess what team leads the league in drops?

Hot damn, I'd like to give her a full workload! Hubba hubba

1 - In / Go Chiefs!
2 - **** the chargers
3 - I really hate Thursday night games

Screw work.

Just give her a full load.

Derwin James out would be pretty big. He’s one of the few defensive backs that matches up well with Kelce.

He was limited in practice. He'll probably play but like Ekeler, he isn't 100% and he'll likely have a limited workload as a result.

This is PFF, so take it with a grain of salt.

Andrew Wylie grade: 58.4 (seems about what you would expect)
Storm Norton grade: 57.2 (big ****ing oof)

Norton is probably better than Pipkins too

****ing ouch. With Jones, KC D dominates. Without, who knows? Ingram + Clark have been monsters off the edge but that is in very large part to CJ's collapsing the middle of the OL. He has been making OG/Cs his bitch the past six games.

The last time we played….
Reed wasn’t playing as well as he has been.
Clark wasn’t Clark.
We didn’t have Ingram on this team.
Thornhill wasn’t really playing.
Fenton wasn’t playing that much.
We had 4 turnovers.
They still barely won.

Can they beat us? Sure…it’s possible. But this isn’t the same ****ing team from early in the season.

The 4 turnovers is the big one. That's not going to happen again.

Second game this season I will miss live due to work. Hopfully I wake up with a smile on my face checking the score!

MOAR TAYLOR!!! :drool:

Had the Chargers played poorly, we played well, and we lost, I’d be nervous.

The Chargers actually played really well in the first matchup. Herbert was great. Their receivers caught ****ing everything. Ekeler had a good Ekeler game. They took advantage of every dropped pass from our receivers. They converted a 4th and 9 late (on a DPI).

We moved the ball well on their defense, but that’s just what their defense is. They are ****ing terrible against the run. Our OL and RBs are healthy, so we’ll have success on the ground.

Our success from last game is VERY repeatable. Our failures from last game are VERY correctable:

-limit turnovers
-get pressure on Herbert (very likely with Ingram and Clark against their OTs)
-contain Ekeler (he’s gimpy and their OL has issues)

I'm predicting we hold them to under 17 points

IMHO, if both the Chargers starting tackles are out, we won't need to blitz much. A four-man rush will pressure all night. The occasional blitz would be deadly effective in critical 3rd & long situations. Let's see how that plays out, BR. I'll be interested to see. Want a friendly bet of....nothing? :)

If the idea of trotting Mike Remmers and Andrew Wylie out there as starting OTs terrifies you, then keep in mind that the duo the Chargers will start tonight is worse.

Yeah what I meant by Stupid was more stunts and confusing looks. Because calling their protections will be a issue. Hopefully we can confuse them and get some free rushes.

That's the other thing:

The defensive playbook is much larger than it was when they played the first time.

The defense is on a whole different level, not just in execution but in strategy. I think they have some interesting stuff in store for Herbert.

I’d really love to see another Raiders type game. Just work them and make it not even close.

Take away the underneath stuff, cover the flats, double Keenan Allen, and make Herbert hold the ball for longer developing routes. That's how you exploit bad tackle play. Clark and Ingram could have a huge day if we can cover the short stuff.

Spags lined up Ingram and Clark on the same side a handful of times recently with Ingram out super wide and Clark inside him. I bet we'll see that tonight since the Chargers will likely be chipping with an RB on the left side of their line.

I sure wish we had Gay to help with that.

This,

if nothing else it will get the national media off of our nuts about "Not looking right"

Not to be a debbie downer, but I'll be attending the game tonight.

For anyone superstitious out there the Chiefs will lose in an epic game tonight.

The other 2 Chiefs games I've been to?
@Oakland 2017
@Rams 2018

So don’t be a douche. Sell your ****ing ticket.

Please don't go

Oh WOW, I hadn't thought of that. Great idea

At least you asked nicely.

Lucky for you I was at both of those games as well and will NOT be at this game tonight.

So my absence is neutralizing your bad attendance juju.

Tonight you break the streak my friend! Trust!

Also, Ingram revenge game!

In for the mutha****in' win!!!

My family and I flew down from Vancouver yesterday and are in LA now forthd game…and it’s my birthday 🤟🤪

I hope the Chargers DIE!!!!

There is NO RECOVERY from Mahmoesiasis!

It is FATAL!

we're good, you guys!

The two Raiders games this season, I wore a simple red Chiefs hoodie for the game.

Usually, I wear my Len Dawson throwback jersey, as I did most of the 2019 season. (and the previous 20+ seasons, to be fully transparent.)

That jersey has obviously acquired some bad Juju. But the simple Chiefs hoodie has apprently got mucho juice.

I'll wear it tonight, so we'll win by 30+.

No worries. Put all your savings on the Chiefs plus the points.

“Oh ok so look at the Chiefs during their win streak notice how they’ve won by 10+ against all of their division opponents but could barely beat the Jordan Love Packers? They feast on their weaker division but struggle against real teams still!!”

OP is so cringe.

Neiman appreciates you stepping up as the scapegoat.

Happy birthday, partner!

OP IS LEGEND

I'm ready. I don't have a menu yet, but it'll be in place by game time.

I had a dream last night, and I never dream......

I was at tonight's game in Los Angeles. Pat Mahomes was a boss, and threw for 350 and 3TD's. Our D was leaky, but held on LA's last drive:

Good Guys 34
Bolts 27

Yessir! There is only one way to beat the streak and that is to keep trying.

Plus, this will be the first game for my 10y/o son so I’m thinking him tagging along will bring different vibes.

sounds like a dream...Mahomes being the boss has not been really seen much this season

If we win, I will be leaky!!!

Chiefs 38
Chargers 17

Book Mark IT

This. Just take them behind the woodshed and take our ****ing division.

Posted this in the CJ thread but putting it here too in case it inspires hope:

With the important caveat that many private planes have their tail numbers blocked so they don't show up on these sites, this is the only private jet leaving from KC Wheeler to LA today as far as I see:

https://www.radarbox.com/data/flights/XSR718/1702523605

Would get in ~90 minutes before gametime. Sofi is a 20 min drive from the airport.

I'll give her a full workload.

Dammit!

Considering LAX and LA traffic, I'd recommend he parachute out as the plane flies over SoFi

SEND THE CHEETAH

I'm finding myself hating the Chargers more and more as the day goes on.

suit up on the plane, take a heli from LAX and land directly on the field

No matter what happens, just a reminder of where this team was a decade ago. I'm grateful for what we have now. At least we always have a fighting chance.
