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

[Pure Steel]

All of a sudden I don't feel so bad watching the Steelers piss away games.....

 

[MizzouFalcon]

Did the Chiefs Chief themselves or did the Chargers finally learn to not Chargers themselves?

I’m going to say the Chiefs Chief’d themselves.

Almost lost to the Raiders, almost lost to the Ravens, and blow a double digit lead to lose to a team without their top two RBs and top WR.

That’s some serious Chiefing.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

The Chargers were 2nd in DVOA coming into this week. They are very good, folks. They're allowed to be good, too.

 

[MizzouFalcon]

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

Lose that and New England could end up with home field advantage.

No pressure, boys.

LMFAOOOO

At what? Going for 2 instead of thinking that we'll beat you in a 10 minute football game? This isn't some unranked team against Alabama or something. They're supposed to be contenders. Whatever, it worked, so go ahead and laugh your whatever off. But this is Phillip Rivers football that's left the post-season empty handed when they've had the best talent in the NFL on multiple occasions. Live by the Rivers and die by the Rivers.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Probably not a coincidence when Berry played about every snap in the 1st half the Chiefs got Rivers to hold the ball long enough for 4 sacks in the 1st half /shrugs

That's the last thing we all need outside of the Patriots.

Need either LAC or KC to win out so we know Pats won't have HFA

yep, this one imo shoulda been a win...

ah well, guess i gotta give some credit to the Bolts, even if i flat-out despise the bastids...

Would be such a joke for NE to get HFA when they're like the 5th best team in the AFC...

 

[bksballer89]

Crazy how things can change in this league. Chiefs looked like they had the inside track on the #1 seed in the AFC after the Pats went down in Miami last week.....Now if they lose next week, they're likely playing a road game WC weekend.

Does the Chargers having home field really give them an advantage though? Or does it just give the Patriots fans an excuse to not bring a coat for once?

No, if they lose chargers get home field

Someone needs to put serious heat on Sutton as to why Lucas isn't playing. Parker is a joke right now and we just act like it's ok even when we put Berry out there when he can direct traffic? Horseshit.

Bye is advantage enough. 100% chance of advancing versus the bye. Chiefs playing the Ravens (I think?) again would be very unideal on the road.

The Chargers don’t have a home field. They have a stadium in LA filled with the opposing team’s fans using up their vacation days.

 

[Lake Shore Drive]

Holy shit, what a gutsy call to go for the two point conversion instead of playing it safe by kicking the extra point and taking it into OT.

Not playing in Foxborough absolutely is an advantage.

They have a pseudo home game versus the Chargers the next week most likely, so that'd be funny.

But fuck that noise playing in Pitt/Baltimore

With the Chiefs explosive offense, they may not see the ball in OT if they lose the toss.

I absolutely love the decision. Nothing to lose. Basically got a playoffs spot locked up. Your QB is red hot and needs to complete a 2 yard pass. I'll take that over possibly losing due to a coin toss
