Chargers will be dark horse favorites going into playoffs if they dispatch Broncos early and rest starters.

Yes indeed they will be dark horses.

I like the underdog role to wipe the floor with the rest of the league

If the Ravens lose I know the game will be utterly meaningless and it would be smart to rest everyone, but...I just want to smash the Broncos and go into the playoffs on a 5 game winning streak and put some fear into our opponents.

Even with Ekeler on the field our red zone offense this year has been bad. I am confused as to why having more redzone weapons on the field is a bad thing in your eyes??

I have a good feeling about Austin Ekeler in the playoffs! I think if he's on his game he could be a Chargers legend after his playoff run! The guy is special and pretty much already is based on how he became a Chargers and his production! Just gotta be aware of fumbling in the crucial moment.

....And if they are 1 and done Payton will probably be considered to replace Staley.

i think the Payton ship has already set sail, but i was on that ship a month ago. Staley has earned another year at this point.

meh,

they've had 10 + game winning streaks entering the playoffs twice before and messed up.

If you want to thoroughly discourage Donkey fans, that's different.

I've rewatched the game twice. I saw some nice pulling guard from Zion and the Defiler, each between the tackles that broke chunk yardage.

As for the Chargers 13 personnel, Parham is our secret weapon in the playoffs, what LB or safety can post-up with Donald Parham in the endzone?

I watched the kid video that Trumpy posted. Parham had some nice in-line blocks… of course it was I think just two plays the kid highlighted and Parham only had around 20 snaps total in the game. If he is credible in blocking, that really opens up his value in more packages. 100% agree he is a matchup nightmare for LBs in coverage.

My guess is that both are unlikely.

We were in bottom 1/3 in red zone efficiency all year. Trending up over past 3 games.
Yes Lombo should be fined and then fired for this season eff that is over 10% lower than last year.

Why you going so easy? First make him run 20 laps. Then fine him. Then reprimand him and force him to apologize in song form to the entire team. Then run some more laps after his shitty song. Then tie him and hs deficient clipboard to a 200 lb stone and make him drag it the length of the field as players flanked left and right smack him with blocking dummies, twice.

then fire him.

Tomorrow we will learn if Staley is planning to rest the starters…looks like lamar is out again and the bengals still have seeding to play for…

Why will we learn tomorrow?
