Week 18 Bolts @ Raiders Final - Pre Game Discussion

[powderblueboy]

Sunday night's matchup between the Chargers and Raiders marks the 29th time these team have met in primetime since 1970, more than any other two teams in the NFL in that span. The winner heads to the playoffs

Roster wise, this team at opening day strength.

[Charge!]

28 minutes!.....

Last season both our games against the Raiders cone down to the final play. When we beat them at SoFi it was more decisive. I’m expecting some distance between us and then tomorrow night.

The amount of nonsense coming from you is hilarious. But what takes the cake is your post at the end blaming Palmer again for the interception in the Texans game. Everyone knew it was Herbert’s fault for that interception including Herbert and Staley. Thank you for once again proving that you know absolutely know nothing about football or the Chargers.

The hilarious bit about all this is that Palmer had got separation deep on that play, something he's not supposedly capable of doing.

Palmer and Herbert got a half way okay connection going on. Leave it be. Palmer is super new. Let it pan out.

The dude is a deep threat if he plays and our defense should consider him that way. If they throw a bunch of speedy WRs at us, it can cause problems so that possibility should not be taken too lightly by our defense.

I think Renfrow is a much more accomplished WR than Johnson, but I would actually be much more concerned about matchup issues with Jackson, Johnson and Jones on the field than I would be with Renfrow, Jackson and Jones on the field.

Also, literally nobody has claimed that Johnson is the best WR in the NFL.

And yes, it was a mistake for us to cut him, which has absolutely nothing to do with him getting cut by anyone else and never did.

Your are more concerned about match up problems with a guy who has 2 catches on the season for 16 yards, as opposed to someone with 1000+yards.
Are you serious?

How much time do you think the Chargers spent this week hatching schemes to try to take T-billy out of the game?:goofylol:

Chain just likes to draw people into arguments, he lives for it. When I see a post by him, I just scroll on by. Don't let him bait you into a quarrel. It is pointless.

Opening day is back, almost.

Here’s hoping Herbert accurate on those tight tosses with 3 defenders next to the receiver. Man…some of those are scary to watch. Like . Like…defender takes one step forward…and it’s an interception. I don’t want too many of those plays to be necessary. because Herber spreads it around.

I have never said anything other than that Herbert's pass was not good on the Palmer INT against HOU. However, it is difficult to miss that Palmer did absolutely nothing to prevent the INT from taking place. He basically just watched it happen--poor reaction to the pass, complete failure to recognize that the defender was undercutting a pass that Palmer decided to run away from for no reason at all. Compare that to the Guyton long TD against CIN (also a less than perfect pass) where Guyton ran back to the ball and into the defender to make the catch despite the defender committing pass interference against Guyton on the play.

The Palmer can do no wrong bullshit is really getting old. Of course he could have attempted to make a play on the ball instead of doing nothing until after the INT. In fact, Palmer has been awful on deep passes--basically an INT every time he has been targeted deep when neither pass should have resulted in an INT (because if the WR is not going to catch the ball, he can at least prevent the defender from doing so).

The real deep pass threats playing for us have caused no such INT issues when targeted. Mike Williams has been targeted 112 times--no INTs when the ball has been thrown to him. That is the most targets of any WR that has had no INTs with the ball thrown to him. There have been no INTs also when Jalen Guyton has been targeted (39 times).

Palmer is a solid reserve in the short and medium passing game, but has proven to be a liability in the deep passing game. It is laughable that some think he could possibly be a replacement for Mike Williams in the 2022 season (if Williams is not re-signed).

Who’s on the spotlight near future more going forward. Lombardi? Staley as both HC and defensive play caller? He ‘s got reasonably talented team. Anyways …the Raiders…after that..bring on the Chiefs.
