Chargers at Raiders Pre-Game Discussion (Week 18)

[Fouts2herbert]

Right!!!!
BUT,IF the Steelers win then I personally think it would be very wise to rest all the starters.

I agree, if the steelers win I wouldn't risk our main guys in a meaningless game, not to mention that a lot of guys could really use that bye AND I think we can still beat the Raiders with Heinicke at the controls, rest Mack, Bosa, Herbert Dobbins, Dissly, Derwin, Henley, Slater, Alt,...turn the damn game into a preseason game and if the Raider win we get the added bonus that our seeding didn't change but the Raiders would be knocked completely out of the top ten in the NFL Draft picking around 13 or something like that

[Fouts2herbert]

I would like to see Tuli get to double digit sacks on the year against the Raiders, as it sits now he has 8.5 on the season and just needs 1.5 to get to 10 sacks on the year...

This is Chargers fans best chance for a home game for the rest of the year and I hope that stadium has a heavy powder blue presence for this game. I’m also hoping we absolutely steamroll the Raiders and have them questioning their manhood heading into the offseason. Destroy them even with the backups and as we all know Telesco depth is shit. Destroy them.

Ticket prices are outrageous, $100 for the worst seats

But at 13 last year they got Bowers

The Chargers open as a 1 point favorite over the Raiders in week 18. 1 point????

The Raiders can screw up their draft position and miss out on a top QB with a meaningless win.

Do not underestimate their incompetence.

You think they would be cheaper if we wait till Saturday to see the results?
Could go up but could drop for desperate sellers.

What would be better: play HOU without Herbert, play BAL with Herbert?

I’m a big “This is the NFL, if you can play , you play” guy as all know. This is the exception week. I don’t care about this win as much as health the following week - regardless of Cincy-Steelers. My assumption going into the playoffs is you gotta play them all eventually, which is not technically correct as half of “them” lose each PO week, but its the mindset.

Give me full strength, I’ll take any of them.

Exception: If Pipkins isn’t feeling great, thats ok bruh, you just rest. Take a month if you need it. No, you don’t need to make the trip, we got you covered

Bengals-Steelers flexed to Sunday night 5pm PST game. Anyone playing our starters with that info?

edit - mybad - they play SAT night, before our game. Hmmm.

Out:
Herbert
McConkey
JK
Derwin
Joey
? … or

*None of the above?

I’d actually like to see some more Heineke - I’m not sure he’s the QB2 we want yet. May want to revisit that backup spot again this spring.

There will be someone really good where ever the Raiders select this year.

[Xenos]

We'll know seeding well before kickoff..

if our seed is locked in, I say rest the dinged.

Rest the dinged and all the major starters: Herbert, Ladd, Dobbins, Slater, Alt, Derwin, Mack, Bosa etc.

If the Chargers do not need to play Sunday, I like your list but would add Slater and Alt

Actually for Dobbins - I might play him for the reps to get back into shape

Gilman is a guy I would like to see play

If the Chargers do get the 5th seed - you can schedule a flight to Houston for the early game on Saturday in Wild card round

I agree. Pierce may want to finish strong
