Let’s talk about the Chargers

[RunKC]

Quick turnaround. Amazon’s new platformed TNF

First thought: love the offense now. Worries about injuries and OT’s. Mack and Bosa had a combined 4.5 sacks today. But they played the Raiders OL.

They won but nearly lost to a bad team. Very beatable IMO

I think we should line up with multiple TE’s and ****ing ram it down their throats a few times like this to set up play action just like how we started the game at Arizona.

This is great blocking across the board. Front side creates a wall. Gray and Valdez-Scantling maintain their reaches. Brown avoids the hold and gets the job done. McKinnon finds the cutback with ease. #JacobsEyeInTheSky #Chiefs pic.twitter.com/MUA3IIiY6s

So we are going to lose?

[New World Order]

I have a feeling this is going to be a lower scoring game.

If the 70% holds, I'd take the Chargers and the points. 4.5 points gives KC a little more wiggle room...that extra 1.5 points is huge. It's fits a FG into the mix.

We've seen this crew in action before...even Burrow called them out.

Vegas hates teams like the Chiefs...they make steering outcomes to fit within the moneyline difficult to maneuver without being obvious.

What sucks is KC cant blow them out...it they get up early, I expect one of the Chiefs classic "disappear for a quarter" games...and people will be asking "why did they go away from what was working"?

I’m actually excited to see us go for it more often on the Charger side of the field. Have to think we aren’t settling for field goals if it’s 4th and 6 or less and 45+ yards.

I almost think Charger fans would rather see a healthy Butker.

if JC Jackson ends up playing some, Chiefs should go at him , make him work that ankle

Yea, I'm kind of shocked it's even a possibility. Guys rarely come back from significant injuries on a short week. There's a reason for that.

[ThaVirus]

He was out 2-4 about a month ago, though. I got the sense then that they would probably sit him week 1 and try to target a week 2 return.

That would make sense if he practiced some last week.

He's not even going to get a full week of practice before playing in a game. That's just rare coming off an injury like that.

[Danguardace]

Doesn't matter chiefs are too multiple imo, pick your poison Chargers.

[poolboy]

Hopefully Pat gets the ball out quick again this week...That would negate some of their "all world" pass rushers
"You cant see me" Kelce is gonna have a big game

[Pablo]

Jody Fortson gonna eat! That’s my bold prediction.

Patrick Mahomes averages 8.1 yards per pass attempt. He completes over 66% of his passes. Why we would be happy with 4.9 ypc is beyond me. Pass every single time unless short yardage or goalline. Tell them before the game we are doing it even, it really wouldn't matter much.

[poolboy]

Tip...Fortson is a really cheap play on Draft Kings
Pacheco is too expensive for some reason...maybe the big shots think he is a goal line threat

[RaidersOftheCellar]

I didn't watch every minute of the Chargers-Raiders game, but what I saw was somewhat underwhelming. Their secondary definitely seems vulnerable, and a more mobile QB who doesn't throw it up for grabs would have avoided a lot of the sacks and mistakes.

Herbert is Herbert and he made a few great throws, but with all the opportunities and short fields they had, they probably should have come away with more than 24 vs a mediocre Raider D.
