Chiefs news for Nov 11, 2023
Good morning, AG!
Today in Chiefs’ history, in 1990 Derrick Thomas sacks Dave Krieg a record 7 times, and somehow the Chiefs lose. I dislike like this fact.
Elsewhere, in 1966, Gemini 12, the last spacecraft in the Gemini series and the first to make an automatically controlled reentry into Earth’s atmosphere, was launched.
1922: Kurt Vonnegut is born
1918: World War I, the war to end all wars, ends. War does not.

1865: For her work as a surgeon during the American Civil War, physician Mary Edwards Walker became the first woman to be granted the U.S. Medal of Honor; the award was rescinded in 1917 but reinstated in 1977 (What pinheads would rescind a Medal of Honor?)

3 biggest Chargers busts halfway through the 2023 season | Boltbeat

Reality does not always meet expectations in the NFL. If there is one fanbase that knows this all too well it is fans of the LA Chargers. Year after year, there are high expectations for the team and players alike and rarely are those expectations met.

#Chiefs Dave Toub says punter Tommy Townsend is doing well despite still being listed with a wrist injury.
“We have to put everything on the injury report.” 😅
Another difference in #Chiefs - Eagles from SBLVIII: No Juju Smith-Schuster for KC, who moved the chains 4 times in the 2nd half (plus the defensive holding)
Rashee Rice is now playing that role. If he can be as reliable catching the ball, he has a higher play-making ceiling
One thing different about #Chiefs - Eagles from SB LVIII is Philly missing Dallas Goedert this time around. He fractured his forearm v. Dallas
He made some incredible catches w/ KC in tight coverage. Both of these at important moments in 2nd half
Taco Bell, Olive Garden, Chipotle, and State Farm coming together today over Travis Kelce’s old tweets is hilarious. 😂

ESPN’s Mike Tannenbaum is somehow still picking the Chargers to come back and win the AFC West:
“Even with the Chiefs at 7-2, this is doable for the 4-4 Chargers. I could see quarterback Justin Herbert leading a resurgent L.A. team, surprising the Chiefs with a division-clinching win on the final weekend of the regular season. And if he does that, he’ll wind up in the MVP conversation.”
The Chargers have lost to Miami, Tennessee, Dallas, and us. Here’s their remaining schedule:
vs. Detroit
at Green Bay
vs. Baltimore
at New England
vs. Denver
at Las Vegas
vs. Buffalo
at Denver
vs. Kansas City
Do we really think they’re gonna pull that out of their asses? Beat a bunch of bad teams, sure, but they have to beat good teams too, which they’ve proven they can’t do right now.
I see 3 probable losses, 4 if we need to play for seeding. I don’t see us losing 5 more. Knock on every bit of wood I can find…
I think we have 2 losses left on the schedule.
I don’t think the Chargers are going undefeated.
We will should easily win the division, though the 1 seed might come down to tiebreakers with the Ravens.
