TomahawkChop 255 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 So, it's Chargers' week. We've owned them for the past 3-4 years, but the games are always super close and absent Rivers' requisite turnovers, the Chiefs may have dropped a couple of the last several games to them. Looking at the numbers from their road win against Cincy, it looks like their offense was pretty pedestrian. No game is a gimme, but it looks to me like they struggled against one of the weakest teams in the league - albeit on the road in week one. Bosa missed practice today due to a triceps injury, but you can bet he'll suit up Sunday. I say Chiefs 28-15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiefThunder 153 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Despite the TO's by Rivers, he was aggressive downfield which always made the Chargers a threat every game. Tyrod is not that QB. I say we win pretty easily. I think Reid's gameplan is for PM to break Kurt Warners record for the fastest to 10k career passing yards.

jetlord 10,209 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Chargers looked pretty sad against the Bengals last Sunday but maybe some of the rust will have been knocked off by this weekend. They have a pretty good defense but without James, who's going to cover Kelce? Maybe Bosa will play but another concern for the Chargers is Pouncey who didn't practice today. Losing him would be huge with the Chiefs aggressive D-line even with the more mobile Taylor. The Chargers have had more defensive success than most teams against KC so I"m thinking a lower scoring game. KC = 27 LAC = 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sith13 1,746 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I think the end score will get closer at garbage time with Reid slowing down a bit and rotating players. 30-21 is my guess with most of those 21 points for Chargers coming in 4th.

ClarksvilleChief 193 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 No matter the record, it's still a division game. On top of that, we are reigning super bowl champions. The Charges will play us tough once again but, in the end the boys pull out the victory.,... 24-17 Chiefs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhitter 1,424 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 If Chiefs win by less than 10 points I will be surprised and disappointed. Probably means they gave up some 4th quarter garbage points again. Chiefs also need to do a better job limiting the run game. I'm sure Lynn's game plan includes heavy doses of Ekelar and their other back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the Chargers have very good CBs. The interesting point will be how they cover the middle and if CEH becomes a receiving weapon. I think Reid will not expose too much unless the game is close. If the Chiefs use Hill and Hardman deep, Kelce Watkins, and Clyde should have opportunities. Just hope Schwartz has a good day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkuenn 3,597 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Chiefs Defense Without Charvarius Ward, Khalen Saunders and Alex Okafor Against Chargers Kansas City Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo and his defensive unit will have to make a few adjustments due to injuries before kickoff against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. The Chiefs announced cornerback Charvarius Ward, defensive tackle Khalen Saunders and defensive end Alex Okafor will sit out of the Week 2 matchup. The trio did not complete the Chiefs’ 34-20 win over the Houston Texans on September 10 and did not participate in a single practice this week. Ward fractured his hand, Saunders dislocated his elbow and Okafor tweaked his hamstring. The absence of Ward and Saunders will likely mean an increase in playing time and a brighter spotlight for three rookies: cornerback L'Jarius Sneed, defensive end Mike Danna, and defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton. Spagnuolo didn’t rule out bringing other players into the picture, either. 0:42/10:11 “I’ll tell you what, I’m very encouraged by what those guys did last week,” Spagnuolo said, referring to Sneed and Wharton. “They were thrown in the fire. We planned to play LJ (L’Jarius Sneed) quite a bit. Terk (Tershawn Wharton) had to hop in there with the injury. Looking to those guys to continue to step up. We’re going to get some more bodies in there.” Ward’s absence plus Bashaud Breeland’s four-game suspension leaves the Chiefs with Sneed, Rashad Fenton, Antonio Hamilton and BoPete Keyes as the depth chart-listed cornerbacks against the Chargers. Up until last week, Hamilton was the only member of the list with NFL experience. The feat of course changed for Sneed, who was on the field through 93% of the Chiefs’ defensive snaps against the Texans. Keyes was not active. Spagnuolo could get help from the versatility of safeties Tyrann Mathieu or Juan Thornhill, potentially putting them in coverage at times, but signs point to confidence in Sneed and Fenton specifically. “It’s good that LJ has a game under his belt and that Rashad got out there and played a little bit last year,” Spagnuolo said. “I think any of the other nine guys need to step up. We need to help them here and there, make sure the quarterback isn’t sitting back there with the ball too long, which is where our d-line comes into play. I’ve got to call certain things to help those guys out.” Saunders is reportedly expected to miss a month of play. His absence gives Wharton the opportunity to play directly behind starting right defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi. Wharton was on the field for 24% of the Chiefs' defensive snaps. Okafor’s inactivity will leave Tanoh Kpassagnon and Danna as the active defensive ends who could play opposite Frank Clark. No matter the personnel, Spagnuolo said he’ll have a gameplan ready to help the Chiefs' defense succeed against the Chargers. “All of that in mind, hopefully, we can wrap it up into a good package, and certainly all 11 of us will have some success and make sure those guys have it too,” Spagnuolo said.
