Chargers at Titans (Week 9) | Pre-game Discussion

[JPPT1974]

Will land by a landslide.

[Lefty2SLO]

A few stats for the game:

Titans are 32nd in the league in offensive yards per game at 248.8 and 32nd in points scored at 13.8 points per game.

Titans are 26th in yards allowed per game at 358.4 and 28th in points allowed at 28.8.

Chargers are 4th in the league in offensive yards per game at 378.5 and 17th in points scored at 23.5 points per game.

Chargers are 7th in yards allowed per game at 296.6 and 12th in points allowed at 21.6.

Looks promising, but . . . . . . . . .

They gave away an easy win against the Giants and their rookie QB, and I bet that loss will sting come December when playoff seedings are announced. Every game is important - if you lose an easy one you'll need to steal a tough one somewhere to offset the loss. One loss can be the difference between a home game in sunny socal or an ice bowl game in Buffalo / Denver / KC. At least Indy plays in a dome - I wouldn't mind another shot at those guys . . . . . . . .

That o-line makes it look easy.

Referencing the Colts...

That + Steichen.

At this point...

• Do the (few remaining) Titans fan's care?
• Does the owner or GM care if the team wins (or might they secretly hope they lose for draft seeding?)
• Most players have a pride in performance, but remaining Titan players see the losses and the sell-off of players. Can they care so much?

That all said...the frikken Jets won a football game this past Sunday.

Chargers 37-10 over Minn
Broncos 44-24 over Dallas
Chiefs 28-7 over Wash

AFC West with three blowout wins at home over NFC teams. The AFC West has 3 teams currently in the playoff field. Next Sun:

Bolts @ Titans 10 am
Broncos @ Texans 10 am
Chiefs @ Bills SNF

The Texans may have the best defense the Broncos have faced this season. For the Bills, this may be their most important game of the season, they desperately want to beat the Chiefs.

Not any of the ones that live near me! They have always been second to the Vols and when they are bad, a very distant second.

[HerbieParadigm]

My assessment/critique of the Chargers never veers from will they beat Fat Andy & Chubby Patty during their 3^rd time of the season or playoff game. I am critical yet believe in Harbaugh to develop the attacking culture. I must look past GRo waiting for Herbert to be unleashed by Harbs.

So, I see Sunday against the Titans as that opportunity to come out w/Herbert finally dusting off & using his cannon. At least 3 > 30–50-yard completions (in the air not yac) in the 1^st half, > 200 yards passing, & something like a 28-3 halftime score. Then let GRo call his plodding run dominated plays. Also real play action into a few more deep bombs could be executed.

[sonorajim]

We must not crap on ourselves. Penalties and stupid mistakes.
We need a solid run game to open opportunities for our receivers, protect Herbert and give the D some rest.
Vidal and Patterson should have a big day.
Give Q a few. Herb never threw his way last game and we'll need him going forward.

[Charge!]

This weekend will be interesting!
Chargers should win solidly..... Chiefs and Donkeys have a legit chance to lose.....and both are finally on the road!...seems like so far they were at home for every tough game they had.....

I agree with the Chiefs. In the Broncos defense, they have played at Colts, at Chargers and at Philly. I feel like if anything, the Chargers have played most of their tougher games at home.

I noticed our schedule before season started that tougher games were at Sofi and weaker teams were away (2024-based of course).
