- The Chiefs are without Thorne against the Chargers.
Arguing the Chargers can win at Arrowhead.
“the Chiefs are going to be without Thorne.”
Thorne isn’t in the box score
In context
Gilinteresting to me. Well, the rumor out there was, you're saying you don't know where you go from here if they get rid of McDaniel. The rumor was Adam Gase. And is Adam Gase going to be the one that solves this whole puzzle for them? Because I've seen Adam Gase and I don't know that that's the guy that you want in there kind of fixing this.
GilYou have to give McDaniel the entire season, right? And you have to figure out if this works. Because to your point, this isn't looking good, right? Andy Reid, to what Tom was saying, 22 and five, going back to the days of the Eagles coming off of a bye. So it seems like this is not going to go well for the Chargers, right?
GilTo their credit, the last three games have been one -score games, and they've been right in it. So it's possible that they figure things out this week. You look at a turnover here, there, that game could have gone differently, right?
GilThe Chargers also beat the Chiefs last year twice, and they beat the Chiefs in the game that Patrick Mahomes got injured. So they're capable of going and winning at Arrowhead, and the Chiefs are going to be without Thorne. They're going to be probably without Rice. So Patrick's going to be missing weapons on offense as well.
GilYou need to get another big game from Kenneth Walker, which has been every game from him so far, essentially this season. So he's capable of it, but can he do it every single week? Like, I don't know. We'll find out. But in terms of the chargers, I think you can make Daniel the season.
GilYou see if he can mesh with Justin Herbert. And then you head into the off season. And if you've decided this is a system that can work with Herbert, then you go and you get them the pieces that kind of fit McDaniel schemes. You get them faster guys, You get them guys that have explosive plays so he can really kind of unleash because he came in and he had a team that was kind of full of all of all
Giltheir, you know, players already. He didn't bring any of his own guys here to kind of fit his scheme. So I feel like pulling the plug in the middle of the season is not going to solve anything for them.
