Dude ..I honestly appreciate his willingness to ask the questions though. Could be repetitive as fuck at times but, If no one else is asking the questions we ‘don’t all want to hear’, I find the convenience of just rather saying it, so we could see his reaction and response to a genuine question at times.

Let's be honest, Coach Harbaugh is being less than forthright with what he knows. I think his style of "playing dumb" irks Popper. I would agree Daniel should just accept Coach is not going to speak meaningful on most injuries and move on. Personally, I don't think a bit more honesty out of Coach Harbaugh would be bad. Take Alt for example, in the age of the internet it has been widely reported he has an MCL sprain. All that said, Harbaugh is the Head Coach, and he is entitled to do things his way.

Chiefs won't need any officer's help to defeat the Chargers. Without OL, Herbert wouldn't take the risk of a major injury. I don't believe on miracles of that kind.

[@yeamon808]

Put Salyer out at LT (he's played decent at the spot last year). Slide Pipkins to RT (not the popular play in history but just this game hopefully). Zion at LG, McFadden-Jaimes-Sarell-or Barnhart RG. Bozeman at C. Jefferson to takeover DJ's spot. And Tuli & Bud takeover for Joey. I think it could be decent enough as long as Stick don't start 🤣 What do you guys think?

[@Hazy_Fforest]

I think we should let our injured players rest. I don't think this game is as much of a wash as people seem to think it is, especially if the O Line isnt actually that bad but just bad by comparison to what it has been. The Chiefs are 3 - 0 but all of their games have been pretty close. We still have our running backs, so if we can get our ground game going this could be a scrappy match even without starters. I think its nuts to bet against the chiefs here if you're putting down money or whatever, but I do think theres a world where we win this one.

[@bricelevai8520]

In worried Justin might legit try to play if he’s practicing…

I believe Derwin doesn’t want to hurt anyone thru illegal tackles. However he continually is called for illegal tackles. The league is calling James out to change technique becuz he will seriously hurt someone! This is not difficult!

[@harleytiger760]

I've been a Chargers fan for a very long time (55 years +). After all this time, I'm coming to realize I may never see the Chargers win a Super bowl. It's always something every year, besides 1995. Every year the hopes are high and then the bottom drops out. It's only a matter of time before Stan Kroenke tells Spanos to relocate his team. Ticket sells for the visiting team shouldn't out number the home team. Fans will not come to a relocated team not winning games. For some unknown reason Spanos cannot find a winning combination?

[@chrishubbard1442]

Five of our best players are out. Tough game ahead. The bench will have their chance to step up. We have a great coach so we are solid there. There is no curse. Football is not a soft game.
