[CivilBolt]

I’m just glad this game will be televised.

Probably only to SoCal and Vegas, maybe Eugene.

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

How do you know they would play the early game on Saturday?

[Velo]

The Bengals-Steelers game is Sat afternoon. The Chargers will know when they play the Raiders on Sunday whether they can improve to the #5 seed.

Is Houston/LA considered the draw that some of the other matchups would be?

[richpjr]

The Bengals are a 3 point favorite over the Steelers and the game is in Pittsburgh. Interesting.

This would be the only time slot I wouldn't be able to watch that game

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

Do not underestimate their incompetence.

Right now, the Raiders are drafting at #8 overall...even if they win, they'll still be several teams behind the other losers, and the best QB's will most probably be gone...which means that TT will again be forced to sign a FA QB...another Minshew lookalike...though I wouldn't be surprised if TT rolls the dice on someone like Jaxson Dart in round 2...

All the pundits are saying the Bengals are the team nobody wants to see in the playoffs. Yeah sure with that defense I’m sure teams are super scared of the Bengals and can’t wait to watch a flailing Russell Wilson against the horrible Bengals defense. Thrilling.

Maybe they would trade Bowers or Crosby for a first round pick, so they would have the ammo to get a top QB.

I don't think Bowlcut would go for trading either one of those...but...I could see Davis giving TT the okay to trade future draft picks...maybe this year's 1st rounder plus next year's, maybe even throw in a 2nd and 4th rounder somewhere...we already know how highly TT values those 4th rounders...

My hunch, often wrong, is they will be fortunate to miss out and not be tied down to the "best QBs" in this particular draft for the next 4-5 yrs. Maybe I'll be wrong, I haven't scouted them a ton since I don't care but I wouldn't want any part of Sanders, and I'm not sure the MIA kid is going to be elite either.

I already have the best QB in the NFL on my team, just ask anyone
