Board 8 > NFL Discussion Topic - Week 15: Saturday Games

(+) Yeah! (+)

Not only do we get a TNF matchup that is actually watchable, but we get Saturday games which means an entire weekend of likely mediocre football.

this game will turn into a blowout after the first quarter

45-6 Chargers win
---

I'd be pretty shocked to see a non-bears defense hold the Chiefs below 20 points (before the playoffs)
---

I think the Chiefs have been merely "good" the last few weeks so anything can happen tonight.

The dream right here

The Chargers aren't good enough to 45-6 anyone who isn't Arizona

(And they entered that game mad after choking to Denver, which effectively makes this game irrelevant as they won't win the division anyway)
---

The Chiefs play at Seattle after this game. That's about as scary a game as anyone has left on their schedule. The Chiefs winning the division is far from a given at this point.
---

There is no easier bet in the world than betting against Phillip Rivers and the Chargers in a meaningful game. Chiefs by 4.
---

I can think of one week this season I did not pick the Chiefs. They have their flaws, but every other team in the AFC is a step below them overall. i mght change that with a road game at Seattle though, as riding Seattle lately has paid off well for me. Almost no one else had them over Carolina.

Chiefs will have a two score game late and the Chargers will get it back to one, but won't finish the job. Probably a final score in the range of 31 to 27 or 27 to 23, between 4 and 7 points.

Fantastic start for Rivers and the Chargers by the looks of it.
---

it was a good run
---

Not an ideal outcome to that throw there

Meanwhile, Keenan Allen

I always forget until I see him play extensively again how bad a quarterback Philip Rivers is. Why did I pick him to win this game...

Mahomes intentionally grounds the ball and it isn't called for some reason...

this has been a very Thursday night game so far
---

If Rivers doesn't throw the game away, gotta think they'll go for 2.

Another bad throw by Rivers. ;_;

A great throw by Rivers!

Another awful throw by Rivers.

How is that not a penalty?
---

Please run the ball was what I was going to post. That wasn't what I had in mind. Great clock management at the end here by the Chargers.

Rivers is rightfully pissed.

wow that missed call was bad.

There's the make up call!

Mhm.

The Chargers going for two if they got it felt predictable.

Here we go~

My Chargers pick was never in doubt.
---

That might've been the easiest conversion ever.

really feels like Eric Berry made absolutely no difference on defense tonight which is the annoying foreboding thing

Oh, right, because the KC defense is horribad. Go me (and all other Chargers pickers)!

After what happened last week, somehow the Patriots still have a chance at that 1 seed.
---

no reason for us to only score 4 touchdowns, and immediately give the ball back a couple of drives

I do not understand people backing Andy Reid in big games. Ever. The guy is laughable garbage.

The Chargers didn't know what they were doing with 6 second left and ANDY REID CALLED A TIME OUT. It's Jim Caldwell territory of laughable trash.

I wasn't picking in favor of the Chargers. I was picking against Andy Reid in a big, hyped up game.

It was kind of hard to expect he would to begin with though. Tbf I don't watch that many KC games, so you'd know better, but I didn't see how one safety was supposed to be that huge a difference for them especially given how bad they are.

My fantasy season is over

Watching Rivers in the post-game interview reminds me of why I actually pick him when I shouldn't. I just can't help but like him and root for him. :(

Philip Rivers is an asshat, but if I wasn't a Chiefs fan, he would be a very likeable asshat.

I finally stopped shaking

What an intense and frustrating game

Rivers: "Andy Reid called a timeout that gave us time to regroup."

How is this opinion even real
---

For the record, I mean that in an endearing way. Like pro wrestling kind of asshat.

Sub in the word jabroni, that probably sums up my feelings better.
---

This was really a defensive win for the Chargers. Rivers and special teams gave the Chiefs incredible field position the first half that gave them easy scores. But the defense ended up holding the Chiefs to their lowest offensive yard total of the season if I'm not mistaken.

I do give Rivers credit for being clutch in the 4th quarter, though.
