Don't laugh. We're just one injury away from suck!




Aw **** it! LMAO

LMAO

Dude, WTF are they doing over there?

Still easily the favorites to win the division

-Media

Q


But LOL

Again. Awesome!

Yup, they're still the Chargers

Not a Q look at time

We play them both games late in the season including week 17 so hopefully he'll be back in time to see what a fastball looks like.

foot? I wonder if it's a lisfranc.... that ended LJ

Damn that franchise. Always have this shit happening to them.

karma for that bullshit with the refs

P

Lol @ the chargers

walking wounded

between the chargers and redskins, you really do gotta believe it's not just bad luck on injuries, they are legit screwing shit up with training and medical care.

all teams are susceptible to bad luck, geezus dont push it even further with medical incompetence!!

Never fails

They got one hell of a trainer

well, we lost Reaser so it's even.

My brother is a big Chargers fan and he's bitched about the training staff for years...personally not sure if it's the chicken or the egg...staff sucks because of injuries or injuries make the staff look bad.

There are coincidences

There is bad luck

And then there's whatever the **** the Chargers are doing to their players.

I think Philip Rivers is the cause of all this suffering. He's the only common link between that shit that was happening to them during the Norv years and now. Dude should probably be thrown in jail.

How will he support his 24 kids then?

Bosa will be next.

Every damn year.

Training staff has nothing to do with this. And laughing at other team's injuries is seriously bad juju.

Especially coming from Clay, who's the only one on the forum who really does this shit. Lord knows we don't need another "Tom Brady is finished" thread.

If you wanna look that injury up you'll find this...

Stress fractures on the fifth metatarsal are the hardest to heal and likely require surgery. Healing time is typically at least 3 months.

The 5th metatarsal is a bone located on the foot that connects to the pinkie toe (put your finger on the far right side of your right foot, that’s where it is)

It’s also the most common metatarsal bone to break

As i said in the other thread, Lisfranc.

Well...bye

Their secondary is not the same without James back there. This will cost them some wins for sure.

This is called a Jones fracture, it’s one of the hardest to heal and predict. It’s also one that can very easily re-break if you try to come back too early. Dez Bryant had this fracture and had multiple foot problems following it.

Risky if re-injury on this is very high, especially if he tries to come back to soon.

That's football.

The Chiefs' turn will come, surely.

As they say, it's a game of attrition.

Years ago, Rivers and his wife were having issues with conceiving their first child.

No doctor could help them.

Frustrated, Rivers went to the devil and asked for help.

The Devil said,"I will help you, but each baby you make will result in a season ending injury to a key teammate."

Rivers agreed, started making a babies, and never stopped............

Crumpled Foreskin, classic story

That sucks

He’s fun to watch

im sorry but lmfao

Chargers gonna charger

Lisfranc is where your foot breaks in half across middle, no?

Spanish hires shitty trainers and team doctors (e.g., drunk quack Dr. David Chao).

Damn. If that’s what broke, that’s horrible news. I don’t care what team he plays for, James is a stud and it’s a shame to see his young career get dealt such a swift blow.

Isn't that a different injury?

This might be part of why Gordon is holding out, he's trying to avoid the catastrophic early season Charger injury bug.

Seems to me that the Chargers injury bug is starting later into the offseason this time around.

I guess that's progress.

Yeah
Dr detox is wrong

I failed my medical exam and work strictly in the black market world of international body part smuggling now.

Better cash flow

Not really lol.

The earlier, the more time to heal.

Laughing at them is just begging karma to make us its bitch. Again.

This is one of those injuries that could move the SB odds. He's as critical to the Charger's defense as Cheetah is to the Chief's offense.

:hmmm: Rivers must be a succubus of health. He absorbs the health of his teammates. He is not often injured, when he is, he plays through some brutal injuries (ACL?), and the injuries are happening to the other players more frequently as Rivers ages.

Prove me wrong.

2006 Browns sign the top free agent available that year, LeCharles Bentley, to what was a record breaking contract for a center.

He hurt his knee in the very first 11 on 11 drill in training camp and never played again.

Thats got to be the worst case I’ve seen.

Doesn't matter still best team in universe.

He got staph from the browns facility though

He will miss at least 6-8 games. Will be tough for him to return at the same level. Realistically he may not be the same type of player again, especially given high risky of re injury.

Sounds like when the Texans were starting and they spent the first pick of the expansion draft to get Tony Boselli.

True. That sure didn’t help. If I’m not mistaken, I believe he sued them. I don’t recall how it turned out.

R

I

Same foot?

Like having to scramble to fill Berry's position with Ron Parker? That was worse than James...EB was making crippling cash.

This is juju for the Steelers/Chargers Sunday night officiating rig job... and the Chiefs last play. Had to make both LA teams a winner...

This is my concern as well, Mr. keg in kc.

We must not vibrate out negs into the aether. Not now. Not ever.

There is no benefit and a potentially horrific downside.

When will people learn that the universal superconsciousness of the Great Spirit has no sense of humor?

"Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen is likely going to miss the rest of the preseason after suffering an injury during practice this week."

Okung is out too...damn.

Gordon is holding out....

Typical start to a Chargers season....

I stopped believing in any kind of karma after the 2013 playoff loss to the Colts. It wasn't enough for the other embarrassing playoff losses to do me in, but the circumstances of that one were too much.

**** superstition. **** "karma." **** "juju" and all that other bullshit. Yeah, I'll still buy into tradition, like the correct number of asterisks in the titles of game threads, but not because it's going to help us win, or anything like that.

Chiefs fans could all be Adolf Hitler clones and it wouldn't matter. If you still believe in crap like, "Don't make fun of injuries or your team will get them too!" then I'm going to DOUBLY make fun of other team injuries to make up for the ones you don't mock.

The Chiefs will have injuries. The actions of the fans regarding injuries on other teams has absolutely NOTHING to do with it.

For the Chargers sake, I sure hope he can keep his spirit up

will his spirit let him play

yup

"The Chargers have managed to stay relatively throughout the course of the past few weeks, but there still have been some key players dinged up.

Among the notables are free safety Nasir Adderley, cornerback Trevor Williams and wide receiver Keenan Allen.

Adderley has been out for the majority of training camp with a hamstring issue. Coach Anthony Lynn said last week that he had been dealing with some soreness, but the duration of the rookie's absence has drawn some concerns.

Per The Athletic's Daniel Popper, coach Anthony Lynn does not want to put a timetable on Adderley. "You have to be patient with those soft-tissue injuries. But I would like to see him out here because training camp is very valuable," Lynn said.

Lynn was asked if he will play in the preseason and he responded by saying, "If he's ready."

Williams, who landed on the injured reserve in 2018 due to a knee injury, hasn't practiced since before the preseason opener. It was uncertain whether or not it was injury related, and Lynn confirmed that it is.

Lynn said Williams' injury -- which he originally called minor -- has carried on longer than he expected it would. No timetable has been set on Williams' return.

Williams entered training camp in contention for the No. 2 cornerback spot with Michael Davis, but his absence only benefits Davis.

Allen is likely going to miss the rest of the preseason after suffering an injury during practice this week, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. He injured his ankle, and although it doesn't appear to be serious, Allen is going to have to have to wait until Sept. 8 to make his 2019 debut.

My

****ing

Man

the mild variation is called a " mid-foot" sprain which hampers Mitch Morse

#Chargers S Derwin James will undergo surgery on his foot following evaluations of the stress fracture in his fifth metatarsal, sources say. He’s expected to be sidelined around three months. The surgery will be performed by noted foot and ankle specialist Robert Anderson

Damn this sucks.

I know the Chargers are in our division and this should come as good news but really I just think that I hope he heals up and returns to the football as normal.

Now will that not be until next year or 3 months who knows but my best to him.

He will be back in time for the Chiefs games.

I had Adderley over Thornhill in my evaluation but looks like I was wrong.

The first game between the two is in November, which is right around when he is scheduled to return.

If he does return in time, I would have to think he’ll be a step slow and not in game shape at the very least. Having Tyreek, Mecole, and Watkins as the deep threats that he faces in his first or second game back is a tall task.

Who would’ve thought at the end of last season that the Chiefs would have the better situation at safety right now?

That’s not a sure thing by any means.

No it doesn't. **** those LA (bogus call getting) franchises

I will never shed a tear for any Charger injury. They are so over-hyped, now they have a built-in excuse as to why their season will tank again while we win our 4th straight Division title.

Little known fact:

The 1969-70 Chiefs defense never had a player miss a game.

I’d like to see a repeat of that this season.
