LA Chargers @ KC Chiefs - TNF Game Thread

[mannc]

It’s surprising that the Chargers seem to have no running plays for Herbert.  Makes them much less dynamic

Dude.  They dropped the ints...it's not like they caught them clearly and the refs just over turned them.  Gotta make plays.

 

Two were caught. One was "dropped".

3rd and 2. Biggest play of the game and Chargers run the ball with supposedly the 3rd best QB in the NFL. Yeah, not buying the hype. 

Into the middle with a stacked box too. Did they forget they are down this game? like wtf...

Herbert reminds me of Trent Edwards pre-concussion.

A lot of people ripping on Asante Samuels. Isn’t he like 100 in NFL years? 
 

This doesn’t feel like failing. This feels like a rebirth. He’s the Benjamin Button of CB’s

That Herbert pick reminded of the Jeff Tuel INT against KC returned 99 yards for a TD...

Oh well, a Chargers loss with KC looking vulnerable might actually be the best possible result of this game. If we take care of our own business we control our destiny for the #1 seed.

Hopefully it doesn’t matter, but I want KC to rack up losses.   Beyond sick of playing them in the Playoffs at Arrowhead.   Somewhere like LA, whatever.. ok.

Reminded me of Lamar Jackson in the playoffs

Guy’s throwing dink n dunk passes or hail Mary’s to contested receivers who make 1 hand catches. Anyone who watches games can see this as average. Most just see stats.

How about anyone that watches more than one Herbert game

[Big Turk]

I cannot believe how many easy INTs opponents drop against Mahomes...Samuel had the ball hit him right in the hands with nobody around him and he fights the ball to the ground and then it gets overturned. 

 

Happened a ton last year too.

Hes basically a more polished Trevor Lawrence, with more talent around him. 
 

Same exact game.   Dink, dunk, jump ball.

That's what happens when your coach is 17 years old. He got scared in the 2nd half.

One was caught on the ground...2nd was on a play with penalties.  It happens.

To quote Bill Parcells we can put away Justin Herbert’s anointing oils kid is good but not top 5… maybe 6-10

actually, this one was worse. Tuel’s was more bad luck. The one defender fell down and got up and so was so far out of position that the ball came right to him when he popped up.

Both teams should have run more. And when they , Chargers chose the wrong time to do so

They just ran directly into the Chiefs overload. 

 

I was speechless.

That’s twice they had momentum and lost it.. Yikes. Big play 

LAC just isn’t ready yet. They’re last years Bills; but maybe a little better or the late season version. They can go really far this season if they put it all together week after week. 
 

Nobody wants to see play them. They’re beatable. But if you don’t bring your A game  and/or they show up hot, they’ll beat the crap out of you. 
 

KC has Mahomes, and they’re the better team right now. LAC has certainly been disruptive. But probably more opportunistic than they have actually “been better” tonight.

Not as enthused about next week's Thursday game.
