2022 Official Chargers Season Discussion

[Maniaque 6]

There is especially no excuse for not having a better plan to limit Kelce when 3 of the Chiefs best 4 WRS were out

It's the only thing I reproach to Staley yesturday.

[Boltnut]

And for those with short memories... the last time Derwin guarded Kelce, Kelce had 5 catches for 51 yards... zero TD's.

I seem to remember a game last year at Sofi when Kelce ran all over the Chargers and won the game with 2 TDs

[Critty]

Chargers absolutely need to beat the Chiefs.
They would be #1 seed in Division and entire AFC instead of KC if they win those games.

Let the new GM decide if Staley stays.

The next GM is tight with Staley, he'll keep him aboard.

[SDBORN]

Shit... I remember when 95% of TPB (myself included) were pissed when we chose Justin Herbert...

Ultimately, nothing has changed. We are on the verge of potentially missing playoffs for 3 years straight with our new shiny QB. One way or another this organization finds a way to dash its fans hopes repeatedly.

[SDBORN]

The push to the playoffs begins now.

Chargers have yet to beat a good team this season. And those wins they have come away with, have not been convincing.

Playoffs are possible but still a long shot in my book with how stacked the AFC east is.

You'll be glad to hear that the AFC East teams are scheduled to play against each other quite a bit still...
Patriots and Bills haven't played each other yet... they will have 2 games.

Patriots: Vikings (8-2), Bills (7-3), Bengals (6-4), Dolphins (7-3), Bills (7-3). Hell, the Patriots could go 2-5 to finish the season.
Jets: Vikings (8-2), Bills (7-3), Seahawks (6-4), Dolphins (7-3). Four losses puts them @9-8.
Bengals: Titans (7-3), Chiefs (8-2), Patriots (6-4), Bills (7-3), Ravens (7-3). Another team that could finish 2-5.

We have Miami (7-3) and Titans (7-3). We could easily go 5-2. That would give us a 10-7 record.

Like I said, it's possible. We can just as well go 3-4 to finish out (and miss playoffs) with how close our games have been against bad teams. Hopefully we do at least make a playoff appearance. It would be nice for a change.

Not holding my breath either way

Need to really fix some things and correct them. Justin can't keep being a one man show about. As the defense is really keeping you all in a sense in the game. Need to bulk up OL.

We don’t have a reliable running game and can’t play solid defense. So yeah it’s all on Herbert and the receivers who have been decimated.

by the way, these were the same problems we had last season.

I don't see us going 3-4 if we get back some guys. Last night, we got 1 guy back (Keenan) and almost took down one of the best teams in the NFL.
People say we only beat teams with losing records and can't beat teams with winning records.
Cards (4-7), Raiders (3-7), Miami (7-3), Titans (7-3), Colts (4-6-1), Rams (3-7), Donkeys (3-7).
Using their narrative, that's 5-2 with a final record of 10-7. Don't take it up with me... it's not my narrative.
