Chargers @ Broncos Pregame Discussion (wk 12)

[Xenos]

DT Linval Joseph was just added to the Reserve/Covid-19 list, so he probably will not be playing Sunday

He’ll be out at least 10 days. Hope his shoulder heals.

Interesting, I just saw Bolles here in Utah Saturday night watching the Utah Utes lay a beat down on the Oregon Ducks. He was hanging on the field all game with a handful of other Ute pros and posing for pics with fans.

If his Covid messes up our Rose Bowl chances, I'll be pissed! :biggrin: (hope he is okay though...)

Take a look at their schedule - they haven't played many trams with a good passing game. Their big upset of the Cowboys looks like a big win for their defense but the Cowboys were missing their number 1 and 2 WR's.

However, their HC is known as a defensive guru so that may make it interesting. Still, I like the QB matchup. We should win by two TD's.

Vic, more than anybody, is Brandon Staley's mentor. When Staley was at John Carroll, said he was studying Vic's defenses while Vic was at Stanford, I knew Staley was a different bird altogether. And of course, he gave Staley his first pro-level job. It will be a close game, we are so evenly matched everywhere, but Denver's QB cannot compete with the likes of Herbert.

If Herbert gets into a rhythm on early drives, Broncos are dead-meat. If it's a disjointed game with penalties and no flow type of game that the Chargers played against Dallas and Minnesota, then all bets are off game.

P.S. Loved seeing Andre Roberts in the jet sweep. Bravo.

As long as we can minimize mistakes...blocked punts and turnovers can change games in a heartbeat!

Time to start putting the nail in Denver’s coffin

My Pretty Ponies are f***ing terrible on third down. Mainly because they are terrible on 1st and 2nd Down due to, IMO, pedestrian QB play.


Can't wait for Sunday. Love AFC West rivalry games late in the season, nothing better.

Broncos offensive coordinator Mr. Excitement, Pat Shurmur has cleared COVID-19 protocols and has returned to the team facility, coach Vic Fangio announced Monday.

The Eagles gashed the Broncos on the ground Sunday.

[ChargersPowderBlue]

What he said is what I thought about our last two games with the Broncos in Empower Field at Mile High. I expect fluke stuff from the Broncos. That's how they operate, it's their mode of operation.

[Velo]

With a victory over the Broncos Sunday, Herbert will reach a .500 QB record. He has started 25 games. His QB record is 12-13. With the victory over Cleveland he was briefly at .500 with a 10-10 record. If the Chargers win in Denver, he will have a chance to go over .500 for the first time in his career the following week in Cincinnati.
