Chargers at Raiders Pre-Game Discussion (Week 18)

[Classic]

Anyone noticing most teams are resting their starters. I dont want another mike will incident to happen. I think Taylor and 2nd strings can probably beat the Raiders anyway. Gotta stay healthy

could always use one of the streaming sites if you have not considered it. I watch all games on my smart devices not owning a TV.

Just a heads up, a bunch of them just got shut down.

That has been my go to -- granted at this point of the season --- all games, I think are CBS, ESPN, FOX or NBC. Maybe one game on Peacock

After the epic in miami the chargers went to the AFC Championship freeze bowl and"mailed it in". Thats why EVERY game is important. you want the home field advantage, no road games in January.

"Mailed it in" isn't really fair. The field was like a rock and so was the ball in the below zero temperature, minus 59 degree wind chill. Cincy had some familiarity with the situation. SD had none.
I imagine Harbaugh might have had his Chargers practice in Cincy a couple of days before the game. Get their cleats and gloves right and learn to play in that situation.
Playing at home is an advantage but we have to be ready to compete anywhere in any conditions that others compete in. We can't be pusses just because we're Ca.
I agree about taking any legal advantage that we can. Even if that means winning with backups vs a weak opponent.

Gotta agree with Sonora here, Mr. Scharnhorst. Funny, I just watched a 30 min vid about the Freezer Bowl from the Bengals' perspective, interviews with former Bengals who played in the game. They said they were better prepared for the game than the Chargers, but even they were not experienced in playing in cold that extreme. The previous week the Chargers had played in the most epic playoff game of all time in Miami, in heat/humidity so extreme players were cramping up. They were physically and emotionally exhausted. Then they had to travel to Cinn and play in the coldest game ever recorded and deal with Pete Johnson. It may have appeared the Chargers mailed it in, but the reality is they were just spent.

Muncie was coked up, the Bengals opened the tunnels when the Chargers had the ball going into the wind and the weather was the worst ever for an NFL game. Probably should not have played.

But Cincy was better than us that year. They smoked us in San Diego earlier that season

Why all the Charger jerseys? Aren't u going to wear just one? Or are u going to sell a few at the game?

Chargers were trailing by either 7, possibly 14
Chargers had the ball inside the 10, if not the 5
Fouts threw an out in the flat, maybe to Joiner or Chandler, possibly Jefferson
Louis Breeden, #34 picked it off and went the distance - 100 yards
Ball. Game!!

agree... plus it was a long OT game..... and Chargers left everything they had on that field.....

I think Chargers this year, shot their load against KC coming up just short..... and were spent when they played TB..... and got blown out....

Pete Johnson was the Chargers' daddy that season.
