It looks like the Chargers will finish the season 11-7. If they can't improve seeding by beating the Raiders in week 18, I suppose there is a chance Harbaugh will sit the starters. But the Raiders may be motivated to lose anyway if they have a chance at the #1 overall pick.

Let's assume the Chargers beat the Patriots and Raiders and win 11 games. What was your pre-season prediction for wins this season? I predicted 11 or 12.

I said 9-10

Right now I’m winning 💪

I went in on this middle o line because they are disgusting as a unit.Make me and I'm sure Herbert wanna puke every damn game.

Regardless of how the season ends the IOL will need to be fixed.

I predicted 11 or 12 too.
A lot of guys were betting the under 9.5 early in the off-season.

One last thing before I shut it down for the night. Jim Harbaugh swept Sean Payton in his first season as HC. Think about that for awhile. Good night.

Jim knocked Payton's 2011 Saints out in the Divisional round, which is still one of the best offenses I've ever seen. That team could have beat the Giants and Patriots that year if not for them having to play against the 49ers.

Regardless of how the season ends the IOL will need to be fixed.

I am continuously blown away by the lack of communication by the interior Fattys. Time after time 2 block 1 while someone else is running free. It's not hard to shout out "I'VE GOT 54, YOU TAKE 99!". It's not supposed to be smoke and mirrors with the OL. It should be "I'm blocking you and there ain't shit you can do about it!"

In the last 3 games Stone Smartt has 11 catches on 12 targets for 141 yards. Do not stop using Smartt, he has opened up this O a little bit more. I think Dissly, Hurst and Smartt are you starting 3 when Dissly comes back. They can keep working on the blocking with Smartt and Hurst and this TE room can really help them moving forward. Even though Hurst only had 1 catch, it was a tough catch crucial catch at that. I’ll say it again, Herbert is better when he spreads the ball around. 10 different players caught passes last night.

You're jinxing them Velo. Regular season is 11-6.

I predicted a 14 - 3 season. Man, this team really let me down. lol

Not sure if Josh Palmer will seek more $$ elsewhere (not really even sure what his market value would be), but I would love for him to return. We still need to add a bona fide WR#1 to this group, but you could do worse than Palmer as your #3/4 depending on what happens to QJ on the depth chart and/or the emergence of BRice.

He's never going to put up spectacular numbers, but he's just a damn solid, dependable player. I feel like championship teams have guys like this on their roster.

Palmer would be a solid 3/4 like you say with QJ. But for me WR1 is such a priority, Palmer might find a team elsewhere just because of the team focusing, possibly on WR.
