Week 18 Bolts @ Raiders Final - Pre Game Discussion

[Velo]

Jesus... we are going to frigging lose!!!! the Chargers are not made for this type of pressure! the Raiders are going to kill us!!! Fire Tom Telesco Now! he burned all of our chances with that weak a** roster....

Yeah man, Telesco's head was up his a** when he drafted Herbert and Slater and Samuel and Palmer and when he signed Linsley and Feiler and Andre Roberts and Dustin Hopkins. Can his ass now. It's what ALL the fans want.

Yesterday he put up a 114.6 passer rating with 2 TDs and no turnovers against a Fangio defense.

That after missing his first 5 of 6 attempts or so (early jitters were obvious - thats ok Herbie, you’re still my love bug!)

Only Cook on the Covid list as of now:

And Herbie looked uncomfortable making some throws early on. He seemed to be aiming too much instead of trusting himself. It was like he was thinking too much. But he got over it later on as you mentioned.

If there is a true negative to Herbie's game, he is often a bit inaccurate early in games....seems he needs a few series to get calibrated sometimes...one reason why truly good running attacks gave us fits this year...less reps for Herbie to get into the groove, and by the time he does, the game was mostly over. I would hope he grows out of this some, in time...plus I would hope we build a better defense next year, so those running attacks get shut down, getting our defense off the field, and Herbie back on it.

Waller could be trouble
hope he's rusty

He’s the guy I’d most worry about. He’s a beast and we saw v KC the TE thing …

I'm not gonna lie...or sugar coat it...I love this Chargers team, but I don't trust them yet. I could see this game going either way. Some bad bounces or pesky turnovers could give these Raiders some emotional momentum that even a good team could run out of time trying to overcome....in the same vein, if we can keep our cool, play mistake free football, we should pull ahead, and take the wind out of their sails....as easily as the Raiders can puff up and be dangerous opponents, they can also deflate like a popped balloon...

Hopefully we can dial up some pressure on Carr early...let Bosa put his money where his mouth was, and shake the guy up...he wasn't wrong about Carr playing bad if you rough him up some....let's go 97!!

I believe 100% in Herbie. Zero doubt he’s the guy.

Not entirely true. We've had a handful of games where we marched straight down the field for a TD with the opening series. In the game this week we had a 17-3 lead at half time. That's a nice start.

Don’t blame you for not trusting them. They haven’t earned that yet

Herbie finishes games stronger than Marino did in his second season, or anybody else that comes to mind. NFL record book says so. Every year, the defense will improve under Staley - it took Vic Fangio four years to build his 2018 Chicago Bears defense. I think the Chargers suffered a stinging defeat to Houston at the right time in the 2021 season.

The Chargers kicked the living hell out of this Raider team the first tilt, I think this beat-down will be more fun. Make Derek cope with double coverage on Waller and Renfro.

The Chargers are going to whoop the Raiders, finish the Raiders' playoffs hopes in primetime and finish the season with a playoff appearance (and a win) in Year One.

I hate running QBs and they have killed the chargers over the years. Look for the mariota package.
