HappyDays

Those guys aren't gonna fix the defense which was the bigger problem tonight. Spags was blitzing like crazy because 4 man pressures weren't getting any kind of push. The back 7 was losing 1v1 matchups at every level of the field. LA's WR corps on the whole is below average and Herbert still managed over 300 yards and 3 TDs - a stat line he hasn't pulled off since 2023. A series of poor draft picks and some of their cornerstone defensive players aging out has left them seriously undermanned on that side of the ball.

Bad night for the Chiefs 2024 draft. Worthy seriously hurt on a routine collision. Suamataia was terrible at LT last year and doesn't look much better at LG. Jared Wiley was a healthy scratch. Jaden Hicks got picked on all night. The coaching staff and the QB hid a lot of roster problems tonight and it still wasn't enough to overcome it all.

My final thought on this game is that it shows how difficult it is to beat the Chiefs. You have to make like five different game winning plays. If you think you have them beat at any point before the 4th quarter, guess again and buckle up. They have an uncanny ability to steal momentum at the drop of a hat and you just have to ride the wave and find a way to steal it back. Herbert needed to be that dude tonight and he was.

Bad safety play and underwhelming front 4 pressure

Mahomes made all the trick plays but Herbert made all the right plays. Awesome performance.

I bad mouthed Harbaugh earlier and he deserved it. But he gets a lot of credit for leaving the game in the hands of his QB who's on a heater. Seen plenty of coaches screw up these moments and go 3 and out with weak play calling.

Mahomes is so weird tonight. He's hitting every trick shot but has missed a bunch of the easier ones.

#2 just completely abandoned his zone

Their offense has improved and will only get better when Rice is back but that defense is not close to the same. Hicks and Cook both had rough rough nights and the front 4 is a bit underwhelming especially with Chris Jones seemingly past his prime.

Spags got too blitz happy tonight. KC has major liabilities in their back 7, he kept leaving them hanging out to dry.

Awesome drive from Herbert. Made every single throw that needed to be made.

Herbert has made a ton of clutch throws tonight. Very impressed with him.

Cheat code QB, cheat code play designer. Tough to stop.

I guess this is an unpopular opinion but I think he's been pretty great in this game. Not exactly a scary group of WRs and against a very difficult defense to diagnose. His guys have let him down a bunch of times tonight.

Johnston just isn't good man. He can only catch passes when he's all alone at the catch point, and even then it's a spotty proposition.

Nah he was definitely short. Ran parallel to the line to gain then got tackled without extending the ball past the line. Just dumb. Luckily he was bailed out.

This is the dumbest collection of players I've ever seen. Wow.

Hate the Chiefs but their offensive play design is just nuts to behold.

Harbaugh has lost control of his team. This failure is on him.

Andy Reid still the best in the business

Thought it was dumb to take that penalty. Keep them in 2nd and 11.

I mean that was a pretty perfect pass on 3rd down. Johnston couldn't make the play.

Oh well hopefully the Chargers aren't feeling the sense of inevitable failure that everyone else watching feels after that godawful end of half sequence. Come out and score a TD and make it so that it doesn't matter.

Coaches are in a different league. You see it every week.

And now they have dropped a pick six. I've never seen anything like what KC gets from their opponents on a weekly basis.
