Week 14 Game Day Thread: Chargers @ Chiefs

Kyle DeDiminicantanio · 2024-12-08T18:58:53Z

Good morning and afternoon, StormCloud! We're gearing up for another prime time game as Jim Harbaugh's Chargers get ready to square off against the Kansas City Chiefs. The wins and losses have certainly favored the Chiefs since Justin Herbert took over as the franchise quarterback of the Chargers, but under Harbaugh and Joe Hortiz the Chargers have been "turning the worm." The organization's operational decisions and strategy have been a strength for the first time since the early A.J. Smith days. Not only did Joe Hortiz deftly maneuver up and down the 2024 Draft Board to secure four players that would become immediate impact starters and a handful of others that have shown promise, Jim Harbaugh's coaching has also developed players from the 2023 class that were underused the year before. Herbert's Chargers have always played the Chiefs close, but have frequently lost in the last couple possessions to their rivals. Earlier this year, the Bolts continued a trend of keeping the game within a possession but not securing their fourth quarter lead after creating what should have been game-altering turnovers in the first half. A weak offensive performance saw the Bolts only score 10 points to the Chiefs 17... a number they will have to build upon to stand a chance tonight. Ladd McConkey was the leading receiver in that matchup, and the undersized receiver has put on a Herculean effort since, establishing himself as Justin's only target to reliably gain separation and secure his catches. His high usage and smaller stature has led to serious wear on his body, entering Week 14 with a debilitating AC joint sprain and knee injury that his his availability for the Sunday Night game in question. Currently, it's reported that he will be a game time decision. Even if he's available to play, it's been evident to those watching that he is gutting through serious pain to be out there for his teammates. Denzel Perryman is likely out another week, showing up as a "Doubtful" on the final injury report, with Ladd, Tony Jefferson, and Junior Colson listed as questionable. Colson came off the IR this week giving hope that he may be ready to step in for Perryman, although Troy Dye has filled in admirably.How's everyone feeling about tonight? Be sure to get some chatter going in the comments!

Holding them to FGs is great. I won’t say the other part right now, so I’ll repeat, holding them to FGs is great.

Great effort by the defense. Maybe this is the game that Roman planned for the 2nd half? Right now, they have 10 passes for 73 yards and 5 runs for 11 yards. Not good.

Maybe we can just play defense. Instead of actually punting they give up 4th down and just move back 20 yards. Then we take a 2 min break and just go back in defense. Same difference as bringing the offense out.
