Chiefs Let's talk about the Chargers. - Page 11

There's little doubt they have the league's best QB right now, as Philip Rivers is playing out of his mind. He's doing it with a damn good receiver corps, which features three WRs (Floyd, Allen, Royal) who are fast and run sharp, quick routes, which the Chiefs CBs struggle with, Marcus Cooper especially. And we still don't know what the Chiefs are going to do at the third CB spot to replace Chris Owens -- we might actually be trotting out Phillip Gaines. Yikes.

The biggest reason Rivers is ripping the NFL a new asshole, of course, has been the resurgence of Antonio Gates, who is playing like it's 2008. Gates is uncoverable right now, so it doesn't really matter if we bring Eric Berry back or not.

I don't know anything about the interior of the Chargers' OL, but their bookends of King Dunlap and DJ Fluker are (a.) really good in their own rights, and (b.) benefit from Phillip Rivers' excellent pocket presence and quick release.

The Chargers are banged up at RB, and I don't really know who's going to be starting there. Both Ryan Mathews and Donald Brown are out, so this kid Brandon Oliver has been racking up 100-yard performances both weeks. They've also got Ronnie Brown, and believe it or not, Shaun Draughn is still in the league.

This is the year the Chargers feature a defense every bit as good as their offense. Their DL is monstrous, with Kendall Reyes and Corey Liuget bookending an overachieving Sean Lissemore in the middle.

I like their ILBs more than their OLBs -- Manti Te'o and Donald Butler cover well and hit the line of scrimmage hard. It's a good thing they get a pocket push from Reyes and Liuget, because they have no edge rushers other than Dwight Freeney, who has actually played well despite being on social security.

The CBs are where San Diego is really hurting people. Brandon Flowers, Shareece Wright, and Jason Verrett is a small lineup, but they play hard, cover well, and will erase every WR not named Bowe from Alex's sight.

I have no opinion on Marcus Gilchrist but Eric Weddle is an opportunistic mother****er with a nose for the ball.

I was there. Then I cried.

Gotta love how when the Chiefs win, then "Alex just wins," but when they lose, it becomes a "team game" and the asterisks and Alexcuses are trotted out.

Division opponents are always tougher to beat, and we will be tough to beat off a bye week.

IF you want to talk numbers, Rivers is 16-4 against the Chiefs

How the **** did you get that from my post?

This is why I always love the post-game aftermath. One side is the smart side, the other side hides in the sand.

I've found that homers aren't usually smart enough to hide in the sand.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I have to see us beat SD in SD to believe it.

In 2000 they went 1-15 and their only win was against KC in SD.

And then there was last years BS win.

Judging by this thread, if I do find it, a lot of people will be there with me. You'd be there all alone.

Better team, better quarterback. San Diego wins easily.

Yep, might as well call up Herm and have him dial this one up.
