If I was as pessimistic about our team as some are here, I’d probably not be wasting time on a forum about them.
Good thing I’m not. We’ll cover the spread, win, and get it back on track. A stable of wild horses is coming back this week“Less is more? NO NO NO - MORE is MORE!”

Brandon Staley on assessing the Chargers' run defense. https://chargerswire.usatoday.com/20...ense-patriots/
The Chargers have played against 3 of the 4 best rushing offenses (1. Browns 3. Cowboys 4. Ravens). All of their opponents so far, except the Raiders, are in the top nine in running offense.
The Patriots have the 24th best rushing offense. Justin Jones and Drue Tranquill are returning. The run defense will not break down next Sunday.
Looking at the schedule ahead, the Chiefs and Eagles are 9-10 in rushing offense. The rest of the opponents are middle of the pack or lower in rushing offense.

I also understand the Patriots have beaten the Chargers a lot over the last 15 years with Hoodie - maybe on Charger victory
But, this is a new head coach in Staley, a new system and the Patriots are 3-4 and they have 2 wins over the Jets and one over the Texans. They are not the strongest 3-4 team in the NFL - okay. I don't care how they played against Tampa - that was an emotion driven game
Now can the Chargers just show up and expect to win - No
But they are the BETTER team with the better QB. I hope Staley has a game plan for Mac Jones - break it out. No time to wait.

If they can just avoid the Browns, Titans, Bills & Ravens in the playoffs, they'll go deep.

Next year, Joseph will be 34 & Jones hits free agency: one or both might be gone.
Telesco will not solve that hole in the draft, even if all his selections are defensive tackles.
He can....
a) overpay for the top talent available in free agency,
b) get a fading star on a bargain deal,
c) find some diamond in the rough, not properly utilized and sitting behind all pros, who shines in Brandon Staley's D
d) dumpster dive
correct answer: b & d
