sgt: I remember after LT became a celebrity, the minute things went south, in any way, shape or form, he went into a pout. He was pouting last week.

sgt: That Ray-Ray TFL to win the game was classic. I don’t think that play had anything to do with coaching or scheme. It was just Ray-Ray knowing how and where to attack.

I think this game may be a very important test of the KC nickel, which is likely what they’ll run whenver Edwards is seated and whenever it’s a passing down. An important matchup that I see is McGraw versus LT, who could otherwise carve up our LBs with screens and dumpoffs.

Look for Chiefs to blitz the safeties a LOT. Might be the key to keeping Rivers from killin’ our corners. So far, KC safeties have defended more passes by forcing them out quickly and making QBs throw over them up close. The LT-McGraw matchup might actually come in pass protection…

After watching the Chargers a couple of games this year, I see this; when they get frusterated not being able to do what they want to do, they make changes and have no heart behind them.

After facing the full onslaught of the NFC East, the Chargers D isn’t that special. If our D can hold L.T. and contain Gates, they will get frusterated. Then they start making bad decisions. Then they lose faith. Then they come up short.

The Chargers beat the Raiders in week 1 and the then winless Dolphins in week 3. The Ravens, Steelers, and Broncos frustrated them early and by the 4th qtr they just didn’t have enough fight in them. You might recall that goal line stand the Ravens had where Ray-Ray busted into the backfield and dumped Sproles for a loss. The Chargers just didn’t have the fight left in them and they lost.
The Broncos beat them with Kyle Orton. Actually, the Broncos play with heart and as a team, thats how they beat S.D. Orton isn’t “amazing”, he just plays within the system.
The Chargers are weak mentally, they haved proved that. We can win this game.

I see this as either we keep it close and win/lose a 3-4 point game or SD gets their act together and blows us out by 14 points or more. We haven’t been able to stop big plays from the TE position and they still have a pretty good one in Gates.

I see that score as accurate with the typical two minutes to go and the Chiefs making a drive to tie it up and into overtime again.
