Chiefs Let's talk about the Chargers - Page 12

too soon? I don't think they beat the Bengals so they're going to be staring 0-2 in the face after next week. Never realized how much I was ready for football to start back up.

First they were saying Mike Williams might miss most of September, now he just has a questionable designation heading into Sunday?

Are they really going to go with the three-headed RB approach, or will Austin Ekeler handle the majority of work out of the backfield?

Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram should be a challenge, but our OL seemed to hold their own very well against the Texans pass rush.

The loss of Derwin James hurts. He's so versatile and the fact they don't have him around to move from S to LB to corner and kinda makes it feel like they've lost a starter at multiple positions, not just safety.

Will the Chargers have already moved on from Tyrod Taylor by week 2? Or are we going to have to wait until our first game in 2021 to get our first-hand look at Justin Hebert?

You have to think Spags has been planning some wild shit for that game (Baltimore).

With the expanded playoffs, only the 1 seed gets a BYE now, so it's one of the most critical, if not the most critical, games of the season.

Baltimore looming week 3. Think we go vanilla and save some good stuff for Lamar and the bois?

It will actually be good preparation for Baltimore, as the Chargers are trying to run a similar type of rush heavy offense (unfortunately for them Tyrod Taylor is not Lamar Jackson).

Kinda feels like every game is critical. Would not shock me if Baltimore goes 14-2 again (or better). Obviously KC has to beat them, no question. But also gotta win pretty much every other game as well.

Good point, head to head would only matter for tie-break.

Whew. Puts a lot of pressure on being the 1.

I just thought of something. What if these teams did not play each other in regular season and both of them went 16-0? That would be pretty wild. And it begs the question of who would be the #1 seed?

Baltimore is a prime regression candidate it's weird how people don't see that.

Regression to what? 13-3, 12-4 at worst?

They looked like the 2019 Ravens last weekend.

It seems unlikely Lamar Jackson is going to stay healthy for an entire season again based on his style of play.

It'll be interesting to see how Baltimore looks against Houston. And then I think we beat them worse than we ever have in the past.

They beat the mighty Browns who struggled against Cinci last night. I watched the Ravens game and it was the same old story...Lamar mainly throwing to Andrews down the middle of the field and their defense was getting gashed by the run. The Ravens are a confidence team. Great when things are going their way but as soon as someone punches back like the Chiefs and Titans did last year, they fold quickly.

RunKC · 09-18-2020, 10:45 AM

Chiefs, Steelers, Patriots and one surprise L. I think Ravens go 12-4

If they continue to have him running around late in games when they have a huge lead like they did week 1 (and all of last year), they’re just asking for it at this point.

It would go to something like strength of schedule or strength of victory
