Seems like there was quite a bit going on at the stadium besides just the game. Between this, and the shit water pouring on fans, it was quite a season opener in DC.

I’m just going by what Staley said:

https://theathletic.com/2801703/2021/08/31/analyzing-the-chargers-initial-53-man-roster-tough-cut-at-receiver-as-team-keeps-4-running-backs/

What is Staley supposed to say? He is not going to say that he does not have a long term future with the team, so while he has him, he is going to say that there is potential. I mean, he certainly cannot say that Pipkins has arrived as a player. If there were anybody half way good out there to replace him, I think Pipkins would be gone. I think it is clear that he is a fringe player on our roster.

I heard a comment from one of the coaches (can't remember which) about Pipkins in the preseason and it was something to the effect that his problems are mostly poor technique and they still believe he can improve on that somewhat quickly and live up closer to his enormous physical potential. It clearly hasn't happened yet and maybe never will, but they sure seem to want to give him the opportunity.

I’m sure we wish we can read minds. But until proven otherwise, it seems you’re wrong in this case.

I wonder if we gave our OL enough credit for this game? They did a great job against a DL that many consider the best in the league! Herbert was able to stand in that pocket and pick his target virtually all day long.

They didn't get enough credit. I think if WFT D has a couple big days people will reflect on this game different.

He definitely improved in the run game this preseason, I saw some huge blocks by him.

Washington is again in QB trouble, and Justin Herbert reminded of what could have been

WashPo columnist Barry Svrluga lamenting WFT didn't draft Herbert. Notes that the QB has much more impact on the game than a DE, even a good one like Chase Daniels. And that the Chargers have a bright future with Herbert while WFT's 30 years of quarterback wilderness has no end in sight.

hey they won a super bowl with Doug Freaking Williams at QB. He wasnt a very good QB imo.
We have zero SB wins. I just want 1 while im here. Their fans can at least boast to have 1,.....I cant.
