Chargers @ Cardinals Pregame Thread (Week 12)

[jubei]

No we don’t have a Deebo

no we dont have an OC with any imagination

[BoltBernardo]

Another week - another chance to win a game

Patriots play thursday at Minnesota
Bengals play at TN
Jets play the Bears in the battle of probable back up QBs

So who knows - the Chargers might take the field in better position than they stand today

Cardinals are not good; Chargers play to the level of the team
hopefully they squeak out a win

I agree. Most fans are thinking seasons over but when you look at who the Pats, Bengals and even the Jets need to play down the stretch, our odds of making the playoffs look much better.
Plus the Jets are in the midst of a QB crisis which doesn't serve a playoff bound team well.

What we need to do is go 5-2.
My perspective is win one of the Dolphins/Titans game AND win 4 of 5 of Cardinals/Raiders/Colts/Rams.
If we can't do that, we don't deserve to goto the playoffs.

If we take the field with Keenan Allen @80%... we good.
If we have Kelly and Everett, too... cake walk.
Rest Big Mike... save him for Miami and Tennessee.

Completely agree. Having Keenan, Kelly, Everett and perhaps even a healed/rested Pipkins would facilitate allowing Williams to rest up for this week.

Yes, nobody throw anything at me for saying we need Pipkins in the lineup. The alternative is much worse..

Been a fanof the team for so long, hope always springs eternal
And at 5-5 with 7 games to go - they have a chance

Granted, still not pleased at not just how they are losing but the lack of urgency by the front office
That said, the cArdinals are about to implode so the Chargers need to keep that process happening and win the game

Exactly.
The simplicity is comforting.
no chase for the division.
Here are 7 free throws, can you make 5?

That wasn’t a 4th down play

I meant to say 2nd and 2.

Were you really part of an aid caravan...? Or was that just your story...?

Yes, I was part of an aid caravan. My really good friend in Montana was active in pastors for peace. In 1990 we had done an aid caravan to Nicaragua. In February 1992, the two sides in the civil war in El Salvador agreed to a cease fire. In April my friend and I participated in aid caravan to El Salvador.

The woman leading it had to travel under a false passport because she was wanted in El Salvador. She had fled the country in the '80s after husband was murdered, one of the victims of the so-called "death squads." They had both been professors at the university in San Salvador. I had bought a 1984 Ford Courier pickup, which was really built by Mazda, and I got a bunch of medical supplies donated by hospitals in Montana, and my friend and I drove to Los Angeles to meet the caravan.

Then we drove through Mexico, Guatemala and El Salvador. After we delivered the supplies, we met up with some other people and drove all over El Salvador. Half the country was still held by the rebel army - the FMLN - and we went into their camps. Twelve and thirteen year olds armed with AK-47s, from Russia. We visited refugee camps along the border with Honduras. We also visited this artist collective and my friend and I decided to buy as much as we could afford from them - various arts and crafts, many things I still have today.

I had so many amazing experiences, things that altered my life and shape my life philosophy today. Then my friend got word his sister was dying in the hospital back in the States and he had to fly home. I dropped him off at the airport in San Salvador, then drove back to the States through Guatemala and Mexico alone. That little Ford Courier was a trooper. I sold it for $350 when I got home.

Pretty much - need to go 5-2 at minimum. Need to show improvement from last year
Starts on Sunday -- figure out how to beat the Cardinals and go from there
