Game DayThread - Game 14: Kansas City Chiefs Vs. San Diego Chargers
So here is game 14:
The Chiefs are 2-11 after their sucky loss to the Donkeys. (Why does last week’s game feel like such a lone time ago??) This is a big game for both teams (ok… I tried), as the Chiefs would like to freaking win a game and the Chargers would like to at least not be the worst team in the AFC West. This game could also have great implications for the playoffs division race 2009 NFL Draft.
For the Chiefs to have a chance in this game one of the keys for them will be to make sure their running game gets on track early (LJ needs the rock!) and Thigpen needs to keep playing like he has been since we went to the spread. This should be a decent game for Thigpen as the Chargers are not great on pass defense, I believe ranking in the lower 1/3 of the league in this categoty. Good Luck Thiggy.
One thing I am worried about in this game is the Chargers offensive attack. These are the same guys who are capable of putting up a ton of yards and points on peaple. There is a reason Phillip Rivers is a top fantasy QB this year.
(Slipping on the RED colored glasses) Looking at this from a positive perspective, if the Chiefs can get that running game going, cash in their red zone and TO opportunites, and the defense stops them every onnce in a while I think we have a shot here. The Chiefs MUST win the turnover battle and CASH IN on the TO’s they do create if they want to stand a chance. That’s a lot of “IFs”, but I like our chances this week against a Chargers team that is, well, falling apart and seem to have written this season off.
As always please post any comments, pictures, or whatever in the comment section below before, during or after the game. If you see something that you hated (or loved) let the rest of us know!
I’ll be yelling from my seat at Arrowhead this week, hoping very much for a Chiefs victory.
GO CHIEFS!!
