Game DayThread - Game 9: Kansas City Chiefs vs San Diego
So here is game 9:
The Chiefs are 1-7 after putting up a respectable showing last week against the Bucs and are back on the road to play the Chargers. This is a big game for both teams, as the Chiefs need a WIN and the Chargers are trying to keep pace with the Broncos, who pulled out a narrow victory on Thursday night, and not to mention this is a division game.
For the Chiefs to have a chance in the game one of the keys for the Chiefs will be to make sure their running game gets on track early and Thigpen needs to just not lose the game for the Chiefs (another showing like last week would be GREAT Thiggy). This should be possible since the Chargers are ranked #32 against the pass. Good Luck Thiggy.
One thing I am worried about in this game is the Chargers ability to run the football. You know they like to run the ball with LT and Sproles and even if LT isn’t the same back he was last year he is still more than capable of running of the Chiefs run defense. So can the Chiefs stop the run this week? Or at least not allow a big play for two games in a row?
Looking at this from a positive (and HOMER-ISH) perspective, if the Chiefs can get that running game going (without Larry Johnson, AGAIN) and the defense comes to play and creates some turnovers (like last week) I think we have a shot here. The Chiefs MUST win the turnover battle if they want to stand a chance. That’s a lot of “IFs”, but there is always a chance.
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 the couch this week, hoping very much for a Chiefs victory.
GO CHIEFS!!
