Thursday Night Football: Chargers (10-3) @ Chiefs (11-2) on FOX/NFLN 8:20 ET

I can respect that opinion but I disagree. If you're a contender you have to believe you can win a 10 minute football game.

A tie is completely unhelpful to LA. May as well go for two.

 

[Judge Fudge]

Must win in Seattle now. Win that and you unofficially win the division

New England is a .500 type of team on the road this year and the best team in the league when they're in NE. Hfa means everything to their SB odds imo

Their offense isn't nearly as good as a healthy Chiefs team is the thing. Chiefs can legit put 40 on NE and it wouldn't be a homer or flukey deal; or at least if they're healthy. Chargers would be a lot more likely to lose a scoring war with Brady; who is plenty good enough to do it against the Chargers.

It wont be a scoring war with the Chargers. Defense will get the stops.

Also, KC wont be at full strength in the playoffs, so the point is moot.

 

[Rex Racer]

Chiefs set a fucking record for putting up 26 points or more in a season (every single game)

and they have 3 L's.

Pathetic.

The Chiefs have played 5 games against legit contenders and they are 2-3.

 

[Rex Racer]

If you are a fan of the other 31 teams, you don't like New England.

Oh. Sucks to be those guys I guess.

You assuming a new injury is popping up or Tardif/Watkins just die or something? Erving? Berry? Good chance they're all back by WC weekend.

Also: I think I've seen this movie with Brady enough to know even if his team ain't that good- don't underestimate him AGS.

Yep and New England record in the few times they actually had to play a road game in the playoffs the last 10+ years or so is pretty crappy. Problem is they usually always play their playoffs games at home.

I don't see this year's Patriot team making a lot of noise in the playoffs, HFA or not.

They do everything but rush the passer. I don't know if a team can win the SB with an embarrassing pass rush. I can't think of any examples

Hey, bud......haven't seen you much.....

Busy time of year! Been mainly lurking in the Steelers forum.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

It's pretty impressive how bad the Chiefs are as an overall defense with how good their passrush is. Draft some fucking DB's, you assholes. Mahomes shouldn't need to carry the team.

Kind of sad. Mighty Chiefs come into Seattle and it might be the Seahawks not giving a shit about the outcome.

Exactly why anyone saying LAC will win the division probably needs a reality check.

I actually forgot about that but i don't see Pete resting starters 2 straight weeks. Think he does it in week 17

Seattle locked in as the 5 seed with a win on Sunday?

They are locked in if they beat the super tough 49ers.

Teams with playoff byes basically do it all the time when they have the opportunity. Going to assume Seattle does the same when given the rare opportunity to do so as a 5 seed with no chance at the NFC West.

Well, Seattle does play the brand of football that gives KC the most trouble.

It's crunch time and the Chiefs. Don't give yourself too much hope before they actually win anything in the playoffs

Lol i wouldn't go that far. Highly doubt Pete treat next week as preseason game especially with that being a SNF game. Pretty sure Seattle play their starters all game.

Road game in Seattle is tougher than a home game vs Baltimore or a road game vs Denver imo

I'll believe it when I see it if they beat the 49ers. I am sure the NFL would be upset, though.

No way are they going to treat that game as a preseason game on SNF. I know that's what you're hoping but that's not happening
