Charger Power Rankings/Ratings entering 2021 Wk 4

[ghost]

Judge a team on 4 issues: can they run the ball on offense + can they pass as well? 2/2
On defense: Stop the run + Rusher the passer 2/2

The Chargers are doing those 4 things - as CBS mentioned, the pass rush isn't as consistent as we would like - but I haven't seen this level of execution since 2006 season. The Rams are scary.

Surprise! We all knew (or at least should have known) that Keenan Allen is one of the most dangerous and well-rounded receivers in the NFL. But what's been remarkable through the Chargers 2-1 start is just how good Mike Williams has been as a red-zone target and one-on-one matchup nightmare. Williams scored two touchdowns last week against the Chiefs, and his four receiving touchdowns are tied for second-most (behind Cooper Kupp, and equal to Rob Gronkowski, Adam Thielen and Ja'Marr Chase) in the NFL. It will be fun to see how a reinvigorated Raiders defense tries to defend both Williams and Allen in Week 4.

Stop the run? have we stopped the run?

We need friking John Parrella and Jamal Williams back.

Yet the team still has the same issues as they've had in the past.

They had trouble running the ball even last year. This year the team has a better O-line but they still struggle. Stopping the run has been a big problem for this team for a long time. We keep seeing a D that easily gets run over.

I still see a team that relies far too much on Bosa. Depending on just one or two guys to do it all isn't going to be good in the long run. The saying that you cannot have enough pass rushers is not a myth.

Hmmm, the Chargers are the only AFCW team NOT in Colins’ top 10.

The "question mark" in his top 10 is Denver, but you can't ignore a 3-0 record, they beat bad teams easily, like good teams should. I think its a coin flip between the Chargers and Cowboys at #10 personally, have to go with the one that won.

Then please explain the Chiefs being listed in the top 10.

They gave away games, they really could be 0-3 or 3-0 against very good teams, looking back. They move the ball at will, but turnovers were really bad. I wouldn't have put them as high as Cowherd, but I cant see the Chiefs not in the top ten, with so few data points. You better ask Colin.

1) we gave away our game with Dallas more than they have given away any game this season. Turnovers are not always giveaways they are sometimes takeaways.
