Expectations - 6-10 Anyone?

[gzubeck]

Taylor's deficiencies were apparent to anyone who has ever watched him play one game in his career.

I was being kind. LOL!

in the top five eye like Trey Lance as well as Sewell.... if we miss on the both of 'em, would consider trading down w/someone like Jax for the likes of a Trey Smith and/or Tyler Shelvin.

like Dylan Moses but would knock him down @least a round as an injury concern, and not sure that LaBryan Ray is a round one value/talent ??

Shelvin is not a round 1 talent and Trey Smith is boarderline especially with his medicals.
Trey Lance is not in our cluster as we already have a future franchise QB on the roster.

Just another thought on the D. If you never play to force the 3 and out, you're never practiced enough to get one when you really need one.

Our 3rd down D versus the Panthers was excellent.

NYJ, MIA, JAX, DEN x 2, and ATL.

Lose one of the above and win one other game you're not expected to. That's 6 more wins for a 7-9 record.

I think the floor is 5-11, and the ceiling is 9-7. My guess is 8-8. Of course, the QB situation/decision plays a huge role in how things end up.

ATL always is prepared when playing the chargers. I expect them to be 21-3 at half.

This team is about the same as last year. One difference is Rivers being gone.

Speaking of Rivers, it's good to see him winning with the Colts and proving those who blamed him wrong.

But some of them don't want to admit they are wrong about him. And they'll make all the excuses for why this team stinks, while huffing and puffing how awesome this team is.

We always suck against NFC South teams. I don't know what it is. I hope the NFL goes into a 17 game schedule that they spoke about so that we get more chances to play the teams from the NFC South division.

As a charger fan, I think they will underestimate all those teams and lose to every single one of them. After losing to Carolina, anything is possible!

I actually moved on with Rivers to Indy. No ill will towards the great Chargers fans I encountered over the years, but I'm riding with Phil to the end. F the Spanos family though.

As far as this Chargers team vs last year's, I agree that the biggest difference is the future HOF QB being gone. However, I feel this year's schedule is easier and that the OL will end up better. The cancer known as MGIII is also no longer on the team.

The Panthers game looked bad, but it's a long season and there are some quality pieces on this roster, so 8-8 wouldn't totally shock me. 5-11 wouldn't either though.

And the Atlanta game...wouldn't you WANT to be down 21-3 against them? That's pretty much a guaranteed win at this point

Yes, football is a team sport and Rivers has a team around him that actually helps. Rivers was right to leave given that a) Chargers didn't want to pay and b) they weren't serious enough to fix the oline. So, if another team is going to pay you $75 million over three years, and give you a supporting cast, then it's sayonara former team if they only want to pay $10 mil a year on a year to year basis. Zero animosity towards rivers and would do the same!

Where did you get $75 million?

Where did you get $75 million?

This year and most likely next two years if he gets the colts to the playoffs. Of course this is an assumption given where he's playing right now. No Guarantees.

If they get blown out in Tampa, you can pretty much kiss the season good by... it will be like waiving at a listing ship before it goes under.

A spirited showing, and they might scratch & claw their way to the cusp of a playoff spot.

Two different roads.
