NGT: Who else is looking forward to Thur Night game?

superspynyg : 12/12/2018 9:24 am
this week?
Chargers vs Chiefs? I think that Chiefs will win but Chargers are showing that they come to play every game. Both will make the playoffs but it will be a good game. Unlike the past Monday night snooze fest Vikes vs Seahawks.
Me...

Got my office holiday party that night so I'm going to bounce from that early to get home for this game.
It's a rare good one...

That being said, it kind of sucks because you won't be getting the best of both teams. Thursday night games have been known to make the best of teams look flat.

Week 4 Minn vs Rams was a great game. Hoping this one is on par!

That's an outlier which is certainly possible but it's not the norm. Hoping you're right.

I'm afraid of this as well. I get the impression that the injuries and short week are going to be too much for the Chargers.
On principle, all fans should boycott Thursday night

games: online and in person. It's just a terrible idea all around -- a feeble attempt to extend the Monday Night Football concept, which itself seems to have been eclipsed by Sunday night. In America.
Great game...

But is a disgrace its being played on a Thursday night. There is too much as stake for the division. And it's safe to assume we won't see the best of both teams.

The Thursday night package, in terms of product quality, was a terrible decision.

Damn player safety. Give us our money. The NFL owners, and their horse's ass front man Goodell, are the biggest group of phonies.
This should be the Sunday night game

Thursday night games suck if both teams aren't rested.

would work if they started after the bye weeks begin and the teams playing in them were coming off bye. Otherwise they are bad for the teams.
The Chargers..

are likely going to start their 3rd string RB.

I expect like much of the thursday games that this will be one with sloppy play and the road team losing
I think Chargers will win this one

Chiefs are so banged up... Chiefs are basically down to Mahomes, Kelce, Hill at about 30% and Ware at about 75%

Chargers are banged up too, but not to Chiefs level... a LAC win also makes things really interesting with Baltimore going to LA next week while the Chiefs have another tough one in Seattle. Winner likely #1 seed, loser prob goes to Pittsburgh opening round. Yikes.
Yawn ...

I haven’t wanted to watch an AFC West game since Lyle Alzado retired. It’s the Big 12 conference of the NFL.
I prefer it were not Thurs

I agree is should be Sunday Night, I agree mostly unfair to Chargers, I agree NFL is phony about caring for player safety, I agree it s about $

But hell yes I ll watch.

Hill is pretty beat up for KC. If he plays, I don't think it will be the same TH as we're used to seeing...
I am all in on this one

at the beginning of the year I bet Mahomes to lead the league in passing yards ($50 to win $1600) right now he is ahead of Big Ben by 73 yrds I hope the score is like the Monday night game in the 50's probably want SD to win so they dont bench Mahomes at least for another week.

And Ware is doubtful. Chargers have a better chance at this point of Gordon playing - and even if he doesn't, Jackson is pretty good - than the Chiefs having one of their top two RBs, Hunt & Ware.

I think Chargers win.
Nice chance to watch some pass rushers

On both squads.

Justin Houston is back for KC right? Bosa and Ingram for the Chargers, I like their rookie OLB Nwosu too - should have been a Giant by name alone: Uchenna Nwosu..
I’m still going with the

Home team on a short week. If this were Sunday, I may have switched my choice.
