Big game this week.....after the Dallas debacle, one must hope the focus is vastly improved. I am not believing..... 31-17 KC...... That's a 14 point difference........funny Vegas only has the spread at 6.5 right now............hmmmmmmmmm........

Hey guys, I'm an unapologetic homer for the Chargers but I'm trying to be more realistic. So Disc is right, we likely lose this game. Our offense has played well, but not lights out, these first two games. And our defense has been good but not as good as I expected. So to beat the Chiefs will we outperform them offensively or restrain them defensively? I don't see either happening. I see a scrappy team that almost does either, but comes up short... again. I love this team and we're almost there! But not week three. Did the offence play well? I admit I have not watched the game (rookie camp here in Brossard), I just read some brief reporting and looked at game statistics. Saw Staley's media time, and just came away with the impression that they (Chargers) left too many opportunities unfulfilled because of penalties, poor focus, poor play calling.....etc. Playing like that against Dallas gets you a loss in a close game, against KC it will get you a blow out loss....... As I posted, this is a really big game.....in many ways. Answering your question- off the top of my head I believe the offense was good but not great, especially considering the Dallas defense was supposed to be a pushover for us matchup-wise. QB- Herbert started red hot- I think 10 straight completions?- and then an interception that was a good defensive play but also a pass that could've been thrown better. Herbert made two or three unbelievable throws in this game! He also made a bad decision in not throwing the ball away sooner on the "controversial" sack play in the red zone. And the interception he threw in the red zone was because Allen fell down on his route, so it's hard to blame the QB there but it was a drive killer for sure. There were two (or three??) touchdown passes that Herbert threw but were called back on penalties- and in all seriousness, very nit-picky penalties! WR- Allen wasn't his normal unstoppable self. He only caught four passes all game. One of them was a huge gain of 50-60 yards in the air! Mike Williams balled out! He caught several passes and dove his way into the end zone on one of them. Guyton, Palmer and especially Cook caught a few passes each. Parham's only catch was a wide-open touchdown called back on penalty. RB- Ekeler looked good running the ball, and unlike week one he was very involved in the passing game- I think 9 catches. Jackson and Roundtree had some carries here and there and made a few above average runs, but nothing spectacular from this entire group- again, up against a defense that isn't elite and we should've done better against. Finally the OL- what the heck happened here? Slater looked great AGAIN! But the three veterans each had some bad moments, including numerous penalties and giving up pressures (again, versus a defense not supposed to be a threat!). And Storm Norton- bless his heart- his performance probably made fouts2herbert want Pipkins to start. (If you don't know how bad that is you haven't been reading this board and every other post he makes.) So that's why I said the offense played well, but not exceptional. And after all the preseason hype I was really expecting our offense to light up the score board. But our next opponent really can light up the scoreboard, in fact their tight end already has as many TDs by himself as we do as an entire team!

I done gone and gave everyone here PTSD with my o-line posts, I pledged on Sunday that it’s over and I won’t be torturing you guys with that shit anymore. I apologize again to everyone that posts here for taking it so far that I’m reading posts with my name mentioned in this way (2 that I know of). I just really like justin herbert and I want the team to do right by him and not take him for granted like with philip rivers I get it now, everyone understands the situation and everyone is sick and tired of me talking about it, sorry again guys

I couldn't resist using that to point out how bad Norton played Sunday. It wasn't a jab at you, things on the CMB are what they are.

If you look at your laundry list of mistakes, you will understand why I felt Staley believed his club was the better club. I could just see it in his body language that the Dallas game was a loss that should have been a win. Being unfocused is unacceptable at the top level.....and keeping everyone sharply focused is the big challenge for every HC.....AL failed, will be interesting to see Staley give it a go, eh?

Hump Day and time to get our focus on KC !!!!!!
It might help to focus on what KC does NOT have say, versus Dallas. I think Dallas has the best offense in the NFL. I KNOW they have the most balanced offense in the league. KC has the opposite of a running game. They do not have Zeke and Pollard running around all over. They have a worse Oline than Dallas. They do not have 75 WR's running all over hell either. They are a 3-headed monster team, so we need to match up. For example, Asante and Adderley on Hill. James and a LB on Kelce.
It's a divisional game, and we know these guys. This game is tighter than you believe.

I think Samuel will dominate Hill and start to get noticed for DROY considerations...

That’s a tall order Our Rookie star CB HAS to have help on that assignment. Has to. Unless they changed it, Davis is our CB 1, Samuel 2. I would assign Samuel to Hill, with helpy poo over the top. The beauty of this is it leaves Davis with their WR 2.

Need our best cover LB on Kelce. I don't know who that is, but I have a wish.
Give Kyzir White running room to come downhill and smash Kelce's face into the turf.

DJ would be my 1st choice vs Kelce. I think we have to play our scheme and get everybody to the ball after it crosses the LOS.
