Chargers vs Chiefs thread

Chargers arent looking like a super bowl team, thats for sure. Im from kansas, living in alabama now. I knew the chiefs would do better this year, but didnt think they would look that good

Chiefs had a tremendous home crowd tonight and had a couple really nice special teams plays. I wouldn't get too crazy.

Funny, they interviewed Matt Cassell after the game on ESPN. He went 10 for 22 for 68 yards. Totally missed who won this game.

Eh, the Chargers always start off pretty slow. They'll be there in December.

3/4 of my survival pool are eliminated. Who would have thought picking the Cardinals instead of the Chargers would be a smart move.

Man, you got some dummies in your pool. We only lost 10 out of 72 entries, with 7 of the 10 picking SD (one person picking SF, one picking Dallas, and one picking St. Louis (???). To me, the most obvious one to pick was the Titans at home against the Raiders.

Good game.

Chargers probably win that one 9 of 10 times in a normal crowd environment. I have heard Rivers say at least a dozen times that KC is the hardest place to play in the NFL.

"new" stadium + MNF + Rain + opening game + tremendous home crowd + no game film on Weis or Crennel = substantial advantage.

Here's the best part, only 2 people picked that game. I can understand why a lot of people went with San Diego since the Chiefs looked awful coming into this year but it's still pretty funny.

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
