Turning To Next Year...

[wu-dai clan]

We have no other choice, of course. But nobody can be very optimistic with this team right now.

No Joey.
No Derwin.
No MW.
No EK.
JH10 played like shit.
We can still get our guys back
And beat DEN/LVR to qualify.

And the thing is, the Chargers are in a unique position where they have a boat load of cap space. And they need to find the person who will best use it. Thats why I want Telesco fired. He will never have more cap space in his life to piss away. What has he shown that he is a person who understands how to build a roster. He hasn't

We addressed the oline this off-season and we had to and all of us were on board with it. That said how many double digit leads did this defense blow last year? What’s been our biggest issue this year? Defense. We are short starting talent and have zero depth as shown today they didn’t stop anything. I’m starting to agree about Telesco and Staley has been holding this defense together with scotch tape and I am nowhere near giving up on Staley.

Hindsight is 20/20 and I g4t Murray is a number 1 pick and the coaches know better
But would would adding a Caraun Reid instead of playing Murray been better. Murray was just out of his league today. Can't stop the run. Can't rush the QB.

I think Staley understands the weaknesses and limitations and is trying to hold things together

Murray was terrible today. You have a valid concern regarding Telesco spending all that cap money and overseeing the next draft. I really hope Staley has a lot of input on the defensive side of the ball. That was a joke today.

Wrap it up
lose out, get a better draft spot, maybe even help push TT out of town.

Trying to be hopeful about the future but gotta admit it's difficult, this franchise just seems to be the same year in and year out.

There is no first position. There are many positions. Interior dline and pass rusher. At least 2, maybe 3 new corners. Right tackle. RB. WR. TE.

I agree.
Just how terrible was the offense without Justin Jackson (yeah, i know - he coughed up a key fumble)?
He'll be gone next year.

Hard to judge after a stinker like this.

This team has lost 3 out of the last 4; a far cry from McLynn who ended their first seasons strong.

Tough to be optimistic right now, and i'm generally an optimistic fan - why the hell not?

Too me, it does not seem like a team that merits being in the playoffs....no signature win.

Agreed, not a playoff team. Nobody wants to see this defense get smoked in the first round, on the road, as the #7 seed.

Let the new incoming GM have the best draft slot possible. Lose out, live to fight another day/year.

Running back could be a real concern. Ekeler cant continue to be a feature guy. He WILL break down with this much use.

Have felt this way for several seasons. We really need a solid 1-2 lunch at Rb. Jackson is injured too much and Kelley doesn't cut it.

[Riverwalk]

Why does everyone put so much emphasis on the draft?

Our OL was totally rebuilt primarily with proven free agents. Do that to the DL next year.

Rams trade away picks for proven players. Considering Telesco’s track record…..trade the picks away for proven players versus more K9’s.

[Boltjolt]

What is the first position that needs to be addressed?

You only allowed one choice? Lol, we all know we need more than one possition.
Where is the all of the above button? Lol
Maybe not FS but depth can always be better. We haven't seen what Webb can do yet.
