Makes me sick

they all went home unhappy! what a win!

If anything it may be conklin outta a job. his blocking has been subpar.

either he's struggling in the new offense, doesn't seem to get separation or find the open zones, but he's been a big fat zero IMO...

[Fouts2herbert]

Was there any Austin Deculus sighting today? I have a terrible habit as a ball watcher so if he did, how did Austin do?

I thought he looked solid, small sample but from what I saw he looked pretty darn good...

I just came here to say how glad I am KA is back.

The Broncos alway had a tough defense for years, but until that POS Payton became coach they never played dirty like they do now...

Under Shanahan the Denver OL played pretty dirty. Just ask Leslie Grossman or Luis Castillo. They used to go after guys knees

Chargers offense has now finished each game this season.

Allen
Mahomes
Burrow

Burrow canNOT make that throw.

So just for sh*ts and giggles, I went and looked at the coveted TEs in the 2025 draft vs our 5th rounder in OGII and guess who had the best stats today among these rookies in the order drafted:

1- Colston Loveland (1st rounder)
2- Tyler Warren (1st rounder)
3- Mason Taylor (2nd rounder)
4- Oronde Gadsden II (5th rounder)

OK, there are lotsa other moving parts but this one made me chuckle!

If Harbaugh manages to take this 2025 team deep or dare I say, "deeper & deepest" 2026 draftees will have to intentionally flunk a bit to fall onto Harbaugh's lap. Haha!

Pipkins struggled with the bullrush today. When Deculus came in he handled the bullrush just fine

How about we bring up Amar Johnson from the PS, and let's see what we've got...tape looks pretty good...

Thats what I said. He has some juice, we dont need washed veteran plodders

Jamal Williams disagrees

Six Starting Running backs in the Past Five Years have suffered Torn Achilles. Impossibly, three names on the list are near-and-dear to us--HALF who have suffered this blow!

-J.K. Dobbins, 2023, while with Ravens. Obviously: Recovered, played for us last year and was on the field today, wearing orange.
-Austin Ekeler, occurred just last week.
-Najee Harris, today.

Yup...Torn Achilles Injuries:
Chargers 2023 Starting RB
Chargers 2024 Starting RB
Chargers 2025 Alternate RB

...these three comprise half the list, though suffered in various seasons and wearing different uniforms.
