Fire Norv now

So what are the chances that Thigpen is a legit QB of the future for KC. I saw him a few weeks ago vs the Jets and the kid looked really good, very poised.

Chiefs are basically running the spread offense with LJ out. If Herm would let them run this style offense then I think he has a shot. This is the same type of offense the ran at Coastal Carolina which is why Herm allow Chan Gailey to incorporate it into the game plan. The power running game is not feasible with Charles or Savage as our back.

Natives are getting restless as Rivers throws another poor pass on 3rd Down. They have also wasted a timeout when they couldn't get a play off in time. The Chargers are looking out of it and they need a Defensive stand here to prove they want to be here today.

 

[HULLOBUDMAN]

Bowe drops and easy one and then pass tipped away from

Gonzo. Punt.

 

[EdwardCat]

What is it going to take to open up the running game to balance the passing game for the Chargers?

 

[ffldrew]

LT show on this drive.

ETA - Sproles gives LT a break and runs a 10 yarder up the middle

Time.KC has only 5 starters on the field right now. Screen play to LT then nice run on the right side.

 

[HULLOBUDMAN]

now Tamba Hali down. hopefully just a cramp.

 

[HULLOBUDMAN]

second and LT. GL unit on.

 

[HULLOBUDMAN]

Chiefs blitz on 3rd and SD picks it up easily. TD Floyd.

 

[ffldrew]

TD - Rivers to Floyd. Nice blitz pickup by Chargers.

 

[ffldrew]

KC gets the ball back and Charles is back in at RB. Thigpen is locking in on Gonzo - could come back to bite him. Another 3 and out.

 

[EdwardCat]

How can Tony G not catch every pass thrown to him?

 

[ffldrew]

Rivers call TO again at line - comes back and gets hit and lofts up a duck. Luckily Gates grabs the KC defender ankle or else it is 6 for KC.

Savage now running.

 

[Islander]

This is ugly

 

[awesomeness]

Rivers :(

 

[Islander]

This is one of the most inconsistent offenses in the league. One week they click on all cylinders and crush their opponent, another week they struggle to get in the end zone.

 

[EdwardCat]

LT with 109 total yards but it doesn't seem to mean much.

 

[ffldrew]

KC has been bringing the blitz on the passing plays and SD is picking it up.

 

[ffldrew]

Somehow Rivers goes over 300 yards - might be one of the more ugly ways to get there that I've seen in a while.

ETA - TD Rivers to Gates.

 

[money.never.sleeps]

How's Thigpen looking? Saw on gamecast he just hooked up with Bowe for 31.

 

[conboy]

I think I may be benching Big Ben and Delhomme for Thigpen next week.

Yeah with Delhomme hosting the Lions that sounds good

Good first half - poor second half.

 

[The Jacket]

San Diego is utter trash. Hard to list how many injuries KC has right now, and for it to be anywhere near this much of a game is downright embarrassing for the Chargers. Literally scrub street FAs all over the field for KC -- RB, both DEs, two LBs, all CBs other than fifth-round pick Brandon Carr.

Yikes.

Not to mention the QB who was 3rd string at the beginning of the year on one of the worst NFL teams with their first string being none other than Huard

 

[money.never.sleeps]

With all that said.. Gotta like those white helmets. Pretty nice.

 

[Islander]

if I was KC, i would go for 2 if they score

 

[ffldrew]

This play being reviewed would have been ruled a catch on a force out last year.

 

[fflnut]

Ha, funny. What'll be even funnier is if they do tie it we can all chuckle at the the 2 pt conversion they failed to convert after the second TD they scored. Still don't understand that call.

On page one I explained - it happened on a botched snap. Holder tried to get a throw off. It was not a designed two point try.

 

[Islander]

this game just won't end

Ah ha, missed that post. Well, now that makes sense. Was baffled at why they'd go for a 2 pt conversion then. Thanks drew.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Wow.

 

[bryhamm]

HORRIBLE call

 

[R Dizzle]

WOW

 

[Moe Green]

Man, questionable pass interference call there.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Go Thigpen

 

[steviey]

Hideous call.

 

[ffldrew]

Crazy late PI call on a throw to Gonzo at the 1. What did SD do to the refs this year?

 

[EdwardCat]

here comes a TD pass to TOny G

 

[dparker713]

If SD loses this game, the fans will go absolutely ballistic over that phantom PI call.

 

[Steve Tasker]

What a ####### throw

 

[Islander]

If SD loses this game, the fans will go absolutely ballistic over that phantom PI call.

True. On the other hand, there is no excuse for not being up by at least 2 TDs by now.

 

[R Dizzle]

WOW TD Gonzo.

 

[bosoxs45]

Holy crap

 

[Steve Tasker]

KC to go for 2 and the win here?

 

[ffldrew]

here comes a TD pass to TOny G

Nostradamus?

 

[Moe Green]

Wow. I don't care what people are saying in here. This has been a great, fun game.
