2021 Official Chargers Season Discusssion

Then you will complain that we don't throw long often enough.

No...if the short pass game is working, no reason to complain...it's about making adjustments, in game, depending on what the opposing D gives you...

Just a thought. At what time does Bosa decide he has enough money and retires to save his head from further trauma? It has to be on his mind.

He was cleared of a concussion so he doesnt have one. They just held him out for precaution.

Yet complain you and the other poster did when it was working. Air yards , YPP, need to do this, Lombardi is terrible and holding Herbert back, yada,yada,yada.

Look no further than the KC Chiefs' long ball attack. The NFL caught up and resolved that problem by forcing Mahommies to focus on the short to moderate passing game.

Lombardi being around some of the most prolific offenses in modern NFL history allows him to know a thing or two regarding trends and ways to combat trends. He foreseen how defenses have tape and will defend the long ball against Hebert similarly to Mahommies. Mahommies being forced to play the short and moderate pass game is seeing record highs for being sacked/Intercepted and lows in QBR, passer rating, yards per pass. Herbert on the flip side is improving in terms of total TDs, lower sack rate, with nearly identical QBR and passing ratings, ect. Herbert has nearly doubled Mahommies in 20+ passes and 40+ passes this season.

Remember guys the goal for our passing game in the off-season was to attack the ENTIRE field in a balanced manner. We are doing that. In 2022 the GM, scouts, and coaching staff needs to implement a more consistent run game in conjunction with the pass attack. Need to get those YPC's up.

Yeah, except the long ball is part of the ENTIRE field. Lombardi’s entire field went to about 8 yards past the LOS. And defenses responded by putting 10 defenders in this first 8 yards.

To sum up it all. Chargers remaining schedule looks favorable for a wild card if the Chargers beat NY at -10.5 and Houston at probably -10.5 too. Some kinda voodoo if we don’t. That leaves beating either Oakland or Denver or KC to get to 10 wins which should be enough, right?

[Maniaque 6]

11-6 would be the AFC crown if they beat KC.
#3 or 4 in the playoffs.

.

Meaning…besides beating NY and Houston but either beating the Broncos or the Raiders along with KC ?

[Maniaque 6]

That's it !

[Caslon]

That's it !

So let it be written, so let it be done.

[Maniaque 6]

How many teams will be 11-6 ?

[Caslon]

How many teams will be 11-6 ?

This team? 11-6? Until new pieces put in place, I’ll take me’s chances at 10-7 . I bet the Chargers lose to either NY or Houston but get it to 10-7. Will 10-7 be enough?
