Because Mahomes is probably sick of hearing the “Herbert is equal to Mahomes” bullshit and the Chiefs may need to win a shootout without Chris Jones/Gay/Sneed on defense.

Hahahahaha!!!

Die Phyllis Rivers, Die!!!

Like I said before, rush 4, keep him in the pocket and play deep coverage.

Box them in and make them be patient, don't give them the moving pocket.

No Jones.

It’s official now?

Damnit

Funny thing is, no, it's not official.

"Not expected"

PFFT no one EXPECTS the CJ inquisition

Chargers not expected to win against Chiefs, per source.

Looks bad, man:

Add one more.

Jesus ****ing Christ.

That says Gordon out 13th Jones OUT 14th

Not accurate or official.

**** Thursday games. And that’s for both teams.

We still will win

Down four starters on defense, potentially. That is brutal.

That’s a disaster along with the others.

Welp….it’s on you offense. Time to score 40+.

The Chargers defense isn't all that healthy either.

Chargers got 4 turnovers the first time we played them. Now they get our defense down 4 starters. Who put a horseshoe up Brandon Staley's ass?

Yep. Defense has been the lead horse in our resurgence and it just got drawn and quartered before the most important regular season game of the season. Honestly don't see a victory tonight unless Mahomes and co play fully up to their potential.

Vegas still has us favored, so you should put some money down on Chargers and you'll have yourself a nice win-win situation.

Jones, Gay and Sneed are painful losses no question

But the way this D has looked of late I'm not so sure its a death knell

Looking for a BIG night from Ingram, make them PAY for doubting you Melvin

There should be no excuses for our offense then because we’re relatively healthy there.

Ward now questionable

https://twitter.com/Chiefs/status/14...Do8avg4jw&s=19

You gotta be ****ing kidding me? geezus........

He's sick but he's not in the COVID protocol. At least he's questionable and not out.

It isn't the end of the world. Pump him full of IV fluids and he can probably play.

In santa monica…a ton of Chiefs Jerseys…gonna be a sea of red! A lot of fans from Texas to cheer Mahomes Texas Tech connection

Damn straight... load him up on fluids, painkillers and a big ol' B12 shot in the ass

FYP..

Lol it's always funny watching the usual folks lose their sh*t over someone being questionable when two key defenders for the bolts (James and Samuel) are guess what? QUESTIONABLE with game time decisions looming :D . Unless Ward can't walk or has tested positive for covid..i'd be very surprised if he doesn't play tonight.

ROFL

4 starters on D out.... defense has been bailing out offense....Now offense has to deliver.
Go Chiefs

****. That would suck to have sneed and ward out. Chris lammons time? DiCaprio bootle?

Pat got this. Magic time baby

For sure, Ward is going to play. That being said, do you expect him to be 100%?

I sure don't.

Are we sure we wanna take his manhood right before the game? :eek:

More than happy to load Taylor Biscotti up with fluids

Chris Jones and Mathieu both Thanked God publicly earlier today on Twitter and this is how he repays us? With more of our starters out?

I just unfriended God

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Chiefs have actived from the practice squad CB Dicaprio Bootle, DT Cortez Broughton, WR Daurice Fountain and LB Darrius Harris.Chris Jones and Josh Gordon have not been activated, will not play vs. Chargers tonight.</p>&mdash; Matt Derrick (@mattderrick) <a href="https://twitter.com/mattderrick/status/1471602321595453453?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 16, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

And there it is.

This all sucks, but the saving grace is the offense is healthy. If we have to win a game 33-30, go do it. It wasn't gonna be rose petals and lavender all the way to the SB.

Let's ****ing go O. Let's possess the ball 40 mins, unless we're hitting bombs to Reek.

**** the defense tonight, we’re going to need Mahomes to have himself a game.

ROFL

Finally.

Spags for coach of the year if our defense balls out tonight and dominates.

The Chiefs turned the ball over 4 times in the first meeting or it would have played out exactly like you said.

They'll be fine.

Browns have 20 players on covid19 list lol

Well at least the Chargers secondary is mostly questionable. Their O line is BAD. And Ekler is not 100%

Our Defensive back ups could actually play well and our Offense could carry the day!

GO CHIEFS!!!!

Exactly. The Chargers have a ton of guys dinged up all over the team. It's a level playing field.

JFC the game hasn't even started yet meltdown planet we're still gonna win

So basically they've replaced Jones (Broughton), Gordon (Fountain), Sneed (Bootle) and Gay (Harris). It's gonna be interesting to see if any of them actually plays a decent amount of snaps tonight.

Ward questionable to play

**** he has me on “ignore”

I'M HORNEY

It's basically a bye week for half of our defense, so I guess that's a positive? More rest?

Are you sure about that? It has only been said about 20 times so far.

Uhh.... No? If we lose this game it's virtually guaranteed we're not the 1st seed and very very likely we're 5th at best considering the Chargers have cupcakes on their schedule the rest of the way.

have we ever seen those clowns play...?
That is where the hope is?
I want to see an elite offense just once this year

Step off the ledge. It will be ok.

Stating the obvious of the situation doesn't make someone on the ledge.

To all of the doom and gloomers, the Chiefs are still 3 point favorites. So if you're sure the Chiefs are losing tonight, you should bet the house on the Chargers to win.

You'll either make some cash OR cheer your favorite team to victory.

It's a classic WIN-WIN. That's just smart emotional management!

If acknowledging the Chiefs probably don't win unless the offense plays up to their potential given the personnel issues on the defensive side of the ball = doom and gloom in your world then alrighty

I think this team is focused and ready for this! Be nice to have everyone out there but this season has prepared us for this kind of thing. The bullshit from earlier in the season has hardened the team. They play as a team and have each others backs! Next man up is not just a saying for this team!

CHIEFS WIN!!

Thursday night games are ****ing bullshit.

Offense will have light it up for a win. We are down some serious guys on defense.

Our top 4 CBs are going to be:
Fenton
Hughes
Baker
Jackson/Bootle/Lammons

That’s a tall ****ing task with Allen, Williams and Guyton.

This is going to be the reverse of the 2019 game in Denver.

That's when Mahomes went down and the defense found its moxie.

Now half the defense is out and it's up to one man to save the day....Mahomes.

Clay, have you ever done a Super Man video?

I'm not really worried about him. It's who he's throwing and handing the ball off to.

He had 2 INT's in the 1st game. All he has to do is not do that and the rest of the team will likely be fine.

I’m naturally pessimistic when it comes to this. Seems that every time an important player on the opposing team is questionable or “dinged up,” they play and have one of their best games.

If we win, sure.

One was Kemp batting it off his hands.

One was Kelce running the complete wrong route.

The Kemp one was particularly egregious. Have to make that catch. We were moving the ball at will.

CEH can’t fumble tonight either.
