Titans @ Chargers Pre Game Thread | (Wk 15)

Lombardi now like a rich kid in a toy store with WR’s Williams, Allen, Palmer and TE’s Parham and even McKitty (showing stuff) all ready to go, full on. Jeesh! If the O-line will just let Herbert step up into the pocket for once!

McKitty?

Things are looking up. Guys starting to come back, coming off a huge win. I think Herbie and the Bolts light it up. Every year a team starts getting healthier and goes on a heater. This could be the team this year. Take care of this and then look the fuck out.

Please Staley keep the D straight forward and play fast and keep getting Herbo out of the pocket for the home runs. Keep It Simple Stupid it's working.

This is what the coaching staff all down the line has had a problem with this season (and last): if it’s working, don’t fix it.

I'm leery of Derrick Henry going off for 300 years against our defense.

Would hate to see another rushing record set against our team like what Adrian Peterson did.

That Vikings game sticks in my mind like some kind of nightmarish dream. Even the lighting in that indoor arena stadium was weird. It was almost semi-dark spooky lighting and Peterson taking delayed handoff after delayed handoff five yards back while five yards up front of him his O-line up front parted us like the Red Sea down after down, all nightmarish game long. That was one scary almost supernatural unreal game to have watched. Still gives me nightmares, heh.

McKitty has had some bad drops...needs to step it up real quick like, or we draft/sign his replacement...

Maybe. He made a few catches in the Miami game that got us needed yardage more than once. Granted, I haven’t followed him all year long. Not sure what his blocking skills are either. He looked pretty half decent against the Dolphins. He is 3rd string on the depth chart tho, and probably got reps with Parham being out.

The rest of that division:
5-8
4-8
1-11

They can lose this game and not freak out, tho it would be 4 in a row. Wow, that division. Some are raising the issue if a division winner should go to the playoffs, even with a losing record in their division. For Jags fans, they need to win games (not just the Titans losing) before they have hopes.

This team might win against a Titan team who has no business gaining entry into the playoffs in a pathetic division. The Chargers are on the playoffs cusp and should come together for the chance. This game by the Chargers will send a message to the NFL that the Chargers mean to be in the playoffs and the Titans with their pathetic easy entry in isn’t going to stop the Chargers and their playoff aspirations. Advantage Chargers in that regard. Just one thing…I want TD’s inside the red zones, not failed 4th and goals. Kick the damn field goal, Staley. understand that games are sometimes won by old fashioned 3 points from early on. Not new wave analytics, where you turn the ball over on downs at their 3 yard line. Especially with the Chargers not having a bruiser power RB. Spiller? One last thing…Kelly either is getting to be (and could be) a factor long term RB2..or not. Make up your mind TT.
Lol. A better run blocking O-line also factors into all this, not just keeping Herbert upright. There’s something SB special about an O-line that handles a little of both.
In case you all don’t know, it’s understood that
among all the players of the ‘95 SB team…the team acknowledged that the O-line guys were the heart and soul of this team. Locker room and all. Not high paid flashy superstars. Nice. It also helped that Biss Ross was the Chargers coach. Times have changed.
They sure have. Chargers worth what now? In the 2 to 3 billion dollar range?

End: Op Ed opinion.

All set for another disappointing performance then. Remember the loss to Houston last season. It cost us a playoff spot, and if the Titans really do take lightly on this game, then the Chargers should definitely not.

[Caslon]

BTW, we want the Ravens to lose. So let it written, so let it be done.
