    Has Russell Wilson ever played in snow? I assume he must have, and certainly rain. I don’t care for January in Denver, maybe its a blessing to get some practice reps in ice before a possible frozen playoff game.

    Its weird to only have 1 division game over the last x? Weeks of the schedule. Meh - play who’s on the schedule, if you’re good you’re good.

        I have the Chargers at 12-13 but Popper is pretty good and has a good feel for the team

          List of advantages and disadvantages regarding extra days rest.

          Good: We get 3 extra days rest vs Jax
          Bad: Denver gets 3 extra days rest vs us in LA
          Bad: Seattle gets 1 extra day rest vs us in LA
          ​​​​​​​Good: we come off bye week at ATL
          Bad: SF off bye vs us at Levi stadium (primetime set up for 9ers to look great, boo!)
          Good: Arizona loses a day of rest vs us in LA.

          Unknown advantage or disadvantage: LAC at Indy

          Bad: LAR gets 1 extra day rest vs us in LA

            I have us at 20-0 but that's my usual prediction every season around this time....

                Wifey and I want to show up to as many home games as possible to help address our infamously poor home field advantage.
                money is always the issue.
                If you're a Chargers season ticket holder trying to sell (2 tickets) TO Chargers fans, please message me with your best offer and I won't haggle, I either can or can't.
                Thanks
                If you're selling to opposing fans, shame on you!

                  Offenses usually start the season ready to go...... defenses can take several or many weeks to become what they will become ...especially a defense like the Chargers who have replaced half the defense..... our offense will need to light it up especially early in season.....

                  I still wish NFL would give Chargers a full week to prepare for KC..... especially for a road game(home teams win a huge percentage of the thursday games)..... it would make a much better and fairer game.... also those extra short weeks are bad for players health..... it takes most of a week for a body to recover from a football game....

                  one interesting consideration is how many times will Chargers play a team coming off a bye? Years ago when NFL started the byes, Chargers got a bye on week one!.... and also played around 6 teams coming off their bye, so with 2 weeks to rest and prepare..... I was hoping moving to LA would improve NFL's view of and treatment of Chargers.....
                  Raiders are switching to a whole new offense (and defense) with McDaniels, they will not be full go come week 1 just like our offense was not full go week 1 last year. Yes we have some new starters but Mack, Callahan, and SJD all have experience in this system so it’s not like they’re starting from scratch. Austin Johnson at NT isn’t going to have a ton to learn about how to play in the D and JC will presumably be shadowing the top WR for most of the game so again, not a ton to learn with the D. Mahomes meanwhile has to get up to speed on an all new group of WR and learn that he doesn’t have Hill’s speed to save him on scramble drills anymore. And KC’s D has a lot of new personnel as well, mostly rookies, as well as losing their defensive leader in Mathieu. Personally I like our chances to get up to speed early in the season on both sides of the ball a lot more than either the Turds (first game with new schemes on both sides of the ball) or the Chiefs (lots of defensive rookies and no established leadership on D and a whole new group of pass catchers outside Kelce). Neither are easy wins but both are definitely winnable games.

                      I do really like getting Cleveland in week 5. Hopefully Watson gets at least a six game suspension. I have a hard time thinking it won’t be at least that. It’s a REALLY bad look for the NFL.

                          I keep think about how much it would help to at least clinch a playoff spot before having to win IN denver week 18.
                          Can't leave it up to one game with the amount of upgrades we made this offseason.
