2021 Official Chargers Season Discusssion

[FoutsFan]

Well Telesco will pass on him but a team like the Chiefs won't - he used to play there I think
and come playoff time, will make a play to help the Chefs

Its three games and the playoffs - not a long term commitment. Also an area of need. Big time area of need. Go to the film but I am not letting today's actions stop the team from at least claiming him

That is the problem we are only looking for guys that can fill in for the pope in a pinch. Other teams are looking for guys who can play. If he can still play sign him and I do not care if he can fill in for the Pope.

With the injuries to James, Samuel and Gilman, the inconsistencies with the DBs - I think this is where you talk to your veterans, Linval, Linsley and see "what do you think?"

One thing, his contract is basically guaranteed game to game. If something happens, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Webb is also injured. Does anyone know if he was making progress? He was playing in some regular season games.

Okay…were the Chargers O-line merely amped up this game getting JJ 18 carries for 6.6 yards
per carry? Un-freaking real. Without Slater. How to get his stats near that again will be interesting in remaining games. It might have been the “important game” factor kicking in getting JJ doing good. Who knows? Next few weeks, JJ’s average might drop down to his usual 2.4 ypc or whatever. (Answer too, of course..game plan on any given Sunday thing). Guy really isn’t durable tho, not at all. JJ has to finish out these three games stellar like in order to retain his services. He should be given a chance in hell, as a final evaluation. JJ’s days as a Charger probably numbered, TT needs to cut those days. Sorry JJ, we hardly knew ye.

thats fair

my point was more that signing him at this time of the year is not like spending big money in free agency on the guy
the risk is nominal but he might make a play or two that guys like Campbell or Kiondre or whomever -- won't make. I am serious about this - one of these last three games - a stop here, a pass deflection there - could win a game.

Yep...using scrubs to fill in for the Pope is like, ahem, committing the CARDINAL sin...

Bring back Marquez Pope.

What about team chemistry? It appears that the guys on this team have an all-together feeling. If you bring in people of a different mindset do you ruin the whole chemistry? Do they start having fights in the locker room?

not on the defensive side of the ball. they respect our offense but not our defense so much!

thanks for the update

I looked yesterday -- Colts have the advantage with overall AFC record so losing to the Pats today gives them another aFC loss

Bills do not have a good AFC record and neither do the Broncos but as of today, Broncos own head to head
Bengals or Broncos - one of those two , unless a tie, will have 7 losses. I prefer the Bengals win as the Chargers own the head to head and all F**k the Broncos
Browns - Chargers own the head to head

So if the Chargers beat the TExans and Broncos - they will be at 10-6 - my guess, that will clinch them a spot before week 17 as I think enough teams will already be at 8 losses or the tiebreaker works for them

The Bronco game will then be huge.

Same way our rematch with KC was? Color me worried.

[Caslon]

After this mini bye, should be a short injury report. Except for freaking COVID news.

Yeah but we lost to Denver the first time. So we should win this time. That’s my logic and I’m sticking to it lol.
