Oh my, this looks like a quality tilt with all the scoring! Hope it lives up to the hype in my brain. Let’s take a look at that after we take a look at other things.
Newsy Notes:
-The Covid list reminds me of a late-era Robert Altman film in that you’d be hesitant to list all the stars on the roll for fear of missing two or three. She ain’t pretty.
-Is a Jacksonville win a mortal lock this weekend? An utterly despised coach that lived his short (13 weeks!) tenure in some figurative hovel beneath the contempt of everyone that interacted with him will certainly get his comeuppance in the form of a W, led by wr Jones, rb Robinson and the prized rook qb. Say (yet another) prayer for Houston.
-Former savior-in-waiting Cam Newton now looks to be splitting time with the not remotely capable P.J. Walker in the Carolina backfield. I guess that’s the best way for Carolina to get that Heisman winner in the draft.
-Speaking of, one of the top rb’s in that draft, Kenneth Walker, will be skipping the Spartans bowl game. What’s good for these coaches that leave teams high and dry is also good for the gander. (this joke would have been fabulous had he played for Oregon)
To The Game!
Chiefs/Chargers:
-As I noted a few weeks ago, Chiefs DC Spags would get the team’s D in working order and lo and behold, during their 6 game win spree they’ve held every team under 20. I think that run will end tonight because Chris Jones, the lynchpin of the new look is absent ce soir.
-For an 8-5 ‘inconsistent’ team, the Chargers can take the lead in the AFC West with a W here. Going forward they would have the advantage because they will have swept the Chiefs.
-Easier typed than done though because K.C. is 18-3 on the road since 2019 and the Chargers don’t exactly have a home field advantage.
-Mr. Deep Ball, Justin Herbert hasn’t had that much success vs these guys on throws over 20+ yards-he’s only 2-of-9 against them. Still, Mahomes has not thrown a TD since week 9 against any other team aside from the Raiders.
-So should the Chiefs run the ball against the Chargers lousy ground D? Slow that assumption down-L.A. has held Mixon to 54 and Barkley to 64 yards the last two weeks.
Do your thing.

We really are Borg!
Looks like that game plan of playing soft defense against Hill and Kelce didn’t work out.
Weird, who could have known?
Tyreek is not going to be…

She’s a weird artsy chick.
Fun to hang with or really boring? No in-between.
I like her, always have. I haven’t seen the video in years, that was cool!
“Eleven seconds? Never leave Mahomes/Rodgers/Brady that much time!”
Peter King, breaking in new knee pads.
This game is going neon plaid.
WANT OVERTIME!
Too much time left for Mahomesy.
We’re all rooting for tie, right?
Another Mahomesdown would be nice.
Always root for the tie or, failing that, scorigami, unless fan interests or strong schadenfreude considerations dictate otherwise.
5 missed field goals.
They prefer to be called Siamese smdh
David Carradine regretted that decision.
Yoooo
Kelce with the TD!!!
dude these last 10 min this game is ROCKING!!!!
Evening folks. How are Commander’s beloved Spanoi doing? Oh, they are winning?
Good for the Spanos clan, who deserve o so much.
Also, I’m working through the Sam Adams winter variety pack, so a hearty Fezziwig to you.
to the delight of almost 50% of the home crowd, no less!
40% Chargers
40% Chiefs
20% Dodgers
Happy Fezziwig! I’m working through a bottle of red wine.
WELL WE’RE LIVING HERE IN ALLENDOWN!!!
But they will not shut The Factory down. – Dejcted #ThePauls supporter, kicking rocks on way back to car
The end zone isn’t lava!
With respect to my Chargers stack, I love this quick score by the Chiefs.
Of course Kelce gets 69 yards & doesn’t score.
Nice
That has to be the longest drive ever without any points, right? They went one to one.
Longest drive without any pants? Gotta be John Daly.
1st and Lava for the Chargers right now.
All those aggressive 4th down play calls just payed off!
The endzone is more impenetrable than Queen Elizabeth.
The endzone is lava! The endzone is lava!
That goal line is some hot-ass lava
[DFO] mind meld complete.
We are Borg.
There can only beeeeeee oooonnnneeee
Just kick a FG next time
GO FOUR IT!
Oh whoa

Too bad the NFLPA is the worst union since Henry VIIIs marriage to Anne Bolyn
Excellent.

“Integrity? What’s that?” — Goodell
He of the 4.4 40 time knows all about integrity
I assume all these 4th down failures are caused by the cold, much like the many failures to invade Mother Russia
The message from this Chick-Fil-A commercial is they don’t pay their employees enough to buy a car.
And they are way cheaper than Oprah that one time
Night all.
Yep. Over ain’t gunna hit, it’s time for slumber!

What the cinnamon toast fuck kind of pass was that??
Rough night for analytics.
These probably aren’t iid events, and I bet they’re modeled like they are

Why didn’t they change the mascot now that they are LAC?

Night Folks.
Honestly I’ve always found christmas vacation to be overrated, just another film that’s been oversaturated by too many airings.
But the subtle thing of Ellen shaking hands will never not be funny to me

I think it’s become a family tradition for a lot of people. I know it is in my family at least.
Surprised I’m not more tired. Also forgot how late night games go on the East Coast.
This is not a (fantasy) playoff performance Mr. Mahomes.
Wait, Sam Elliot is still alive???
Sort of
It rent mood:

thats Rocking!
You’d think that going forward Herbert won’t being going to Jared.
I’m sure these 4th down decisions won’t come back to haunt the Clippers du merda at all.
Westwood One sucks balls tonight. Gonna go with KC radio, but it sounds like they just have some jerkoff ex-player stuffed in the 2 seat.
I’m guessing it’s not Jevon Belcher?
Questionable (head)
Questionable head is what I received from my 2nd high school girlfriend!
POW! BAM! SCRATCH! MARKS!
LOL 😂
“How you gonna get fired on your day off?”
I like how this game has limited Mahomes-points. It makes me close to happy.
The LA crowd are dressed like the game is at Lambeau

“But when his drinking, and his lusting, and his hunger for power became known to more and more people, the demands to do something about this outrageous man became louder and louder.”
Man the NFL is really trying to balkanize their viewer base. This game only on this app, this game only on that app and thir being no overlap.
All that plus cracking down on illegal streams make me grumpy
“Mmm, yes, go on…”

Herodotus, always with the history angle. smh…
One FozzSpawn compares Knoxville to Columbia…I mean, just no comparison. And the Vols might be decent at FITBAW before he graduates.
My favorite thing about the Vols is that they are only one letter away from being the Voles
I had never considered that, but YES that is lovely

Thoughts and prayers for our LA contingent as they shelter in place during this significant weather event…
I’m flying out of LAX imminently, so I’m preparing my will.
