Why are the Chargers that much better?

[synthesis2]

I know I'm going to get a lot of flack for saying this and I even put money on the under for the chargers and the over on the chiefs because of this but I just don't see where they are that great of a team, especially with the changes.

Comparisons:

QB Chargers - B/B+ (not elite) Chiefs C (average at best)
RB Chargers - B- Chiefs A (may have best in league with combo)
WR Chargers - C+/B- (with holdout) Chiefs C+/B-
Oline Chargers - B Chiefs - B
TE Chargers - A Chiefs - D/C ( still not sure on 3rd round pick)
DL Chargers - B Chiefs - C/C+
LB Chargers - B Chiefs - B
Sec Chargers - C Chiefs - B+
Spec Chargers - B Chiefs - A
coaching Chargers -C Chiefs - B (with new off and def cord)

I guess we will see Monday but I just don't see it with the Chargers this year, besides QB, they are very pedestrian and we are better in several areas.

Don't give me Weis or Crennel. Coaches don't make NEARLY the difference people think it will make.

Hence, Herm to Haley.

Eric Berry can't shut down Matthews and Gates by himself.

McCluster will be lucky if he breaks 50 yards total.

Cassel sucks ****ing ass.

The "crowd", in the end, doesn't mean jackshit.

So, what does that leave us with?

$10,000 casino cash bet that Matthews rushes for less than 100 yards.

$10,000 casino cash bet that McCluster has over 50 total yards.

Interested?

Our Punter's better than your Punter.
We won't need him though

[L.A. Chieffan]

Ill take that bet on Mathews. But let's make it interesting and go all in.

10k? I lose more than that running for the bus...

[Blick]

Yeah, Matthews isn't going for 170...120-130 would be a reasonable guess while still gashing us. San Diego went for only 35 yards more than 170 in BOTH games combined last year.

Holy shitballs, how did I miss this thread?

Phil Rivers is a "B" and Cassel is a "C"?

Jesus tapdancing Christ, kids must be eating paint chips like Skittles up there.

I'll take the Mathews one for however much you want.

Cassel sucks.... but our running game will give him enough time to atleast hit Bowe who can break tackles and run for YAC with the best of them. On the defense we have one decent corner and one that should be a pro bowler. Then Berry who I am extremely exicted about and would put him 1 on 1 with Gates. If our front 7 can slow down the run. We will keep it close and maybe even pull out a win with the crowds help.

Keep smokin' that crack

I am actually glad he is making this prediction.

That's because they're ****ing dumb.

Any coach that doesn't run the ball repeatedly and with aggression towards the Chiefs defense is stubborn and dumb.

Seriously.

Here's my honest opinion.

No offense to your team, but the Chargers are clearly better. Especially when it comes to the Chargers offense vs. the Chiefs Defense. If you decide to play heavy pass coverage to stop rivers, we can run all over you. Mathews is no joke. I backed LT that whole time just because I hadn't followed any other RB for 8 years, and I didn't know any better, but watching Mathews play, I realized that he has the strength and speed to regularly run more than 3 yards per carry.

If you try to stack the box, Rivers will shred.

Its a pick your poison deal.

I also think our defense is better than your offense, but its not as pronounced.

Also this has been a fun thread to read.

"Why are the Chargers that much better?"

Personnel.

[Hootie]

Who is smarter?

Dane?

OR

Vegas?

Is Dane smarter than Vegas?

How does that saying go?

Vegas never loses?

Something like that...?

(Here's a little gambling lesson for you folks)

Spread opens up at KC +5.5...

90% of the money is put on San Diego.

So...what usually happens? If Vegas wants to even out the money (to make sure they...DON'T LOSE)...they'll move the line...such a dramatic % of money...means they'd probably move the line to something like KC +7.5...to try and entice some action on the Chiefs.

What do they do?

THEY LOWER THE LINE TO KC +4.5 TO ENTICE FURTHER ACTION ON SAN DIEGO!!!

So what does that say to you?

Vegas WANTS action, and they want the PEOPLE to put $$$ on San Diego.

Meaning Vegas is taking KC +4.5...and they are SURE of it.

Now...

Is that to say Vegas doesn't get some wrong?

Hell no...they got crushed last year for the first quarter of the season...

but in the long run, Vegas NEVER loses...

and they lose by winning these bets.

You know they ban people from sports books in Vegas who bet line moves like this?

A PROFESSIONAL GAMBLER WILL PUT A HEALTHY BET ON THE CHIEFS SPREAD...for sure. The sharps will put several units on the Chiefs on Monday.

4-12, 2-12, 4-12 mean nothing.



The Chiefs have not made significant personnel changes to their defense from last year, the same defense that was ranked #30th in total yards and 29th in total scoring.

Eric Berry is not superman, nor can he single-handedly cover Gates and Matthews.

Many Chiefs fans are in for a HUGE shock come Monday night.
