Watching the Rams dismantle the Patriots early in this game reinforces that there is something wrong with the Chargers, and it's not necessarily the personnel on the field. The Rams are not greatly more talented than the Chargers. The difference is coaching.

LOL, Pats acting like they’re playing the Chargers going for it on 4th and goal from the 3. Cam gets stuffed instead of waltzing in. That 45-0 game gave them false confidence. They’re back to being the mediocre team they’ve been all season

The talent on the Chargers is overrated. Especially when you have back-to-back losing seasons. Outside of the elite players, there's a lot of players who aren't really that good. It's not just the coaching.

Overrated the Chargers' talent may be. But the team isn't without talent, there isn't a gaping gap between the talent the Rams field every week and what the Chargers field.

When the Rams aren’t running it down the Pats throats, they are rolling Goff out. Very few straight drop back passes. They learned from the Chargers poor game plan

Rams also using A LOT of 2 TE sets

Hard to believe the team being punked by the Rams right now is the same team that humiliated the Chargers 4 days ago.

Chargers are a joke. They couldn't even score a point last week against this team.

Not really, given the disparity in coaching staffs.

It doesn't seem possible that the team that scored 27 points against the Saints and 31 points against the Bucs (1 defensive TD) couldn't score against the Patriots. I honestly don't understand it.

It's called "capitulation". If you get told there is no point in chasing the playoffs, you get this kind of reaction.

Yep. For example, look at the Bolts depth chart, first for O, then for D. I have highlighted in red players who are either busts, below average or injury busts or semi-busts. Some I didn't circle because they're backups and doing about what we expect from a backup. In the case of someone like Bulaga, he's played decently when healthy, but we just can't go into next season with someone who is out as much as he's been. Even more so with Turner. Keep Bulaga at least, while grooming his newly drafted successor. We need to upgrade as many of these circled positions as possible in the draft, UDFA or FA:
