Los Angeles Chargers vs Kansas City Chiefs: Open Thread
By Ernie Padaon
This is where you write about the Los Angeles Chargers game in the comments and talk throughout about how we are kicking the Kansas City Chiefs tails in all game long.
I thought we were supposed to get respect after we beat the Pittsburgh Steelers. I thought that people would start talking about us after that win. Instead they kept saying how much the Steelers lost it and how the refs gave us that game.

There is some respect coming in, but listening to all the talk going into the game it is interesting to see how much people are on the jock of Patrick Mahomes. I will be honest, Mahomes has played amazing this year and I am not so stoked that we have to face this kid for years and years.
THIS is the time where we get the world’s eyes. THIS is the time where everyone will see how much talent we have on this team and how we are a team that WILL take it all in the Super Bowl.
Everyone knows what is on the line here. The top seed in the AFC is on the line and we have a chance to steal it. Melvin Gordon‘s status is up in the air, but with him traveling out and without another back signed to the roster, I expect the Chargers to activate him for the game.
I also think we get a healthy dose of Justin Jackson and he will shine like he did against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Chargers should be able to move the ball up and down the field against the Chiefs. We just have to limit turnovers and we have done an amazing job of that this season.
Everyone likes to tall about the Chiefs offense. They are amazing, but the lights and media don’t mention how horrid their defense is. The Chiefs need to score a million points to win because their defense is garbage. We have one of the best offenses in the league and will march it down the field.
On defense, it is going to be a mountain of a test but I like how we are going to match up. The biggest question will be with slowing Tyreek Hill down. He has been a thorn in our side. Who is going to slow him down?This is the time we do it.
How many times is Joey Bosa going to get to Mahomes? That will be fun to see! Looking forward to seeing Bosa get there. Also, I can’t wait to see what Derwin James and Desmond King do in this game. They love the lights and will come up with highlight reel plays in the game.
Who is going to make the big plays tonight? What matchups will you be watching?
