Chargers @ WFT GDT and Post Game Discussion (Wk 1)

Just remembered something…

We are officially on a 5 GAME WINNING STREAK!

Of course no tangible proof that it had an impact but I do think winning out was helpful to the team’s psyche. We got Slater even at 13 so it didn’t hurt us draft wise either

Winning doesn’t suck.

When looking at the 4 pt win, remember we knelt it out in the red zone to end the game.

He may be a bit enthusiastic but he does have a point. There is a certain percentage here that are so chronically bitter, depressed, doubtful, despondent and always predicting doom … and i do mean ALWAYS predicting doom. it’s tiresome. if i was that broken and damaged by a football team, i would have stopped watching long ago.

I’ll needle the naysayers all day, every day. Im trying to lif their spirits, its from a place of love. We can go thru life one of two ways:

1. Predicting every step and breath is a catastrophe, every flaw a fatality, and dreading every moment that lies ahead as that moment we will all die
2. Assuming everything will be great, despite any past the next step is sure to be the best.

I’m riding and sliding as #2 all day every day - its fucking fun. I got a skip in my step, a smile on my face. Debbie downers make me laugh at how they smugly torture themselves as if their self-pain is a virtue and it will translate into something better beyond it. Fucking A, stop punching yourself in the dick and enjoy life for just one moment.

I want everyone to enjoy the good life - just let #2 work for them.

I don't mind the optimism nor the pessimism. It's all good Charger fans passionate about the team.

I'd just prefer someone making their case based on the game, the moves, the action. Rather than simply say that they hate people bitching. Okay, Got it. And? What about the team? Make a case.

You’re playing the hindsight game with regards to Thornhill over Adderly. Adderly was the better prospect and the guy who had experience playing centerfielder, a perfect match in Bradley’s scheme.

I liked Thornhill as a prospect more than Adderly.

And there were sites that had Thornhill ranked higher than Adderly. WF, for one example, had Thornhill ranked #2 and Adderly at #6.

Maybe there needs to be one gameday thread for the folks that always need to be right (the folks that can't stand emotional outbursts from their fellow post'ers) and one for the folks that are more reactive. FLEET has a fun job, doesn't he...lololol

The red zone issues need to be figured out soon as possible. Heneiche was making it look pretty easy against the Chargers defense so the offense is going to have to need to score much more when playing against actual half decent QBs like Dak Prescott next week for example.

Defensively, not just the pass game but the run defense looked rather lethargic. They only scored 16 but that was in large part due to unforced penalties on their end killing many of their drives. Can’t rely on that every week.

Mike W dropped some easy passes. He's still not consistent enough.

It’s still a step in the right direction. If he continues building on from this game, then watch out.

[UglyTruth]

Telesco may finally be 1/29 on drafting OL that aren’t complete busts! It only took 8 years but it’s finally here!

[ChargersPowderBlue]

The offense is good. But it could be better. We can't rely on Allen and M Williams to come up for the team all the time. We're gonna need other receivers to step up. This is a time for Palmer to rise, he showed promise in the presason. Hopefully Guyton continues to improve.

The team needs to get the TEs involved other than Cook. I question how long he will hold up because of his age. Anderson and Parham have shown what they are capable of when you get them the ball. More distribution to the TEs would help the team. We couldn't put Washington away because we lacked something like this.

The run defense needs to improve. Gibson was killing our D. The Cowboys have Elliot and Pollard who are going to cause more trouble.

Definitely agree that the run defense needs to be more stout, but today Dak threw the ball 58 times, while Elliot and Pollard ran the ball a total of 14 times. Chargers' pass defense really needs to be on point next Sunday.
