    People are buying cars - sight unseen

    the Used car market is nuts but if you sell your existing car - its tough to buy a new one

    We are doing work on our kitchen so appliances - we had to put a deposit down 6 months out to make sure we get the models and specs we are wanting.

      I bought my Preowned Challenger in Nov 2019 for $23,650 which imo was a good deal for a 2018 and Kelly Blue Book says today it is worth 32K. Used car prices have skyrocketed. Im not going to sell it because as you said, another one will cost more anyways and i dont want a new one.

        I'm scared of injuries.

        I'm also scared of the forum's reaction if the team gets off to a slow start.

        Which is possible. New Coach. New Schemes on both sides. New Coordinators, new playcallers.

        It could take a while for everything to fall into place.

        I totally believe in Coach Staley. This is the type of Head Coach, I've wanted the Chargers to have forever. He's smart, he's funny, he's an extremely good communicator. I've never seen an NFL Head Coach give a press conference like the one he did a few days ago... when he was breaking down how they teach stuff.

        I hope he is the Chargers Head Coach for a long, long, time.

        BUT... he's got to be able to put it together. This is a squad with a lot of talent. He doesn't have the benefit that someone like Zac Taylor has had in Cinci.

            Yeah, probably. But I'm tempering expecations and almost expecting a slow start.

              Embrace your fear. Embrace your injuries! Become the man your you're supposed to be.

                I fear Ekeler getting hurt before Game 1.


                Crap.

                  Has 5 days to get better and rest.

                  That said I'm sure glad I picked up Roundtree on my fantasy team.

                    No depth at offensive linemen, the scariest of all. Hardest to draft too. TT bought some. We’ll see. Would’ve been nice to have seen all of them together during one preseason game. We will see or question the gel factor of this O-line by the 3rd game, hopefully. Not sure I like how Staley not letting fans see if their a gelled group yet.

                    Not sure I like his approach. “Show us what ya got” would have been ok by me. Flubs and all.

                      I'm not that worried about Ek's hammy...yet. We weren't going to win this game running the ball on WFT anyway. If it's just a ham strain or mild tear...that's almost as common as a cut or bruise in NFL. If it's a bit worse, rest him, np. Next man up.

                      Trust me: they won't run on us; we won't run on them. In Herbert we trust.

                      WFT is missing their prized free agent signing w/injury, Samuels. Ek/Samuels...Mostly a wash.

                      My worry factor: 2/10.
