Chargers Bye Week (Week 12) | No-game Discussion

[OG619FrightninLightnin]

I've been taking a bye week as a fan. I need it.

Me too.

I went to UNC vs Duke yesterday with no rooting interest. It was nice not to care.

Hampton was on the sidelines, he looks good yo go.

most people, including me, and podcasters say they believe that Chargers will beat Raiders..... they all said that about JAX also!???

many say that about beating cowboys.... but for most its about a 50-50 thing.... dallas defense is supposed to be bad like JAX, NYG, WASH, MIA, ..etc who we struggled or lost against......

Dallas has a very good running game.... which gives chargers issues.... and they have 2 elite WR's and an elite TE.... all of which do great against our defense.....

Dallas supposedly does not have a pass rush, but other teams without a pass rush have dominated our bad OL this season!!!

so no guarantees we win this game ...and this is only the 2nd game we have a chance to win.... the other 4 games, we have far less chance to win...DEN game is ONLY a possible win if they lock up #1 seed early and are resting starters..... other wise they dominte us.... even if Herbert is still healthy!

So? Do you think LVR is as good as JAX? DAL does have a good offense, Minter will need to be a lot better in that game.

I didn’t offer guarantees. I disagree all other teams on our roster are locks to win. They could, sure. NFL is funny sometimes though

It’s such a shame.

KC, Denver, and LV are so beatable this year but the injuries to offense were just too difficult for Gro to scheme his way out of.

What could have been.

No doubt we come back much stronger next year just by healing but all of our divisional opponents will improve as well. Particularly the Raiders who by virtue of a high draft pick might finally get a QB who doesn’t suck.

On each of the remaining game days I will be rooting hard for a Charger win but deep down, I believe they aren’t equipped with the personnel or coaching to go all the way this year so for next year, it’s in their best interest to lose games and be better positioned draft wise

Before the season started I was convinced AFC West was the best division and whoever won it had the best SB win odds. Now I’m convinced whoever wins the division won’t advance very far in the playoffs.

We need to constantly be roster building, Hortiz AND TPB !

Charger player development must always be in our binocular field of vision.

The NFL enters December, the season of attrition, where health and depth rule the day.

Injuries are a factor no doubt

But post-bye, if the offense doesn't come out in a lot of two TE formations, I will have serious questions about this coaching staff. Granted, I think they already should have been trying this but post-bye, zero excuses. It starts up front, protect Herbert. Plus, starting Salyer . Salyer + two TEs

And if they don"t do two TEs, at least go back to WR screens and the quick passing game. Granted, sometimes the Edges are so quick around the OTs.

Hampton back will be nice too - he is better than Vidal. Kimani will be a nice back up to him but need RB1 back

This team is so BI-Polar they will prolly beat Eagles + KC + Cowboys and lose Raiders + Texans + Donkeys, the whole NFL is going like that this season I cannot predict who will win

Analytics.
Draft.
Free Agency.
Smart Coaching.
Teams have a line on each other.

On any given Sunday.
Like never before.

"Bye-Polar" disorder

healthy Hampton = mood stabilizer
healthy Hart = anti-psychotic

Herbert getting 3 seconds in the pocket unmolested = a bottle of Macallan 15

[Charge!]

of the 6 games we must win at least 3 to have a shot at tie brekers for WC......

if team shows upo we shoudl beat raiders even though Crosbyt likely will have 3-4 sacks!

if we do not beat raiders...season is over.....
if we beat raiders we WILL lose to eagles who have great defense nd great running game...
if we do above and beat cowboys, we need to beat KC at home.... not likely.... Texans who basically shut out Bills... not liklely win..... and DEN at home.... if they are playing starters, we lose and it wont be close....
if we lose to cowboys, season is oiver...

Which of KC, TEX, or DEN will choke away game to chargers????...when the games count???

and winning 10 games only guarantees that we will be in a tie breaker for WC position..... we still may lose if multiple tiebreakers are involved.... so our odds became sooooo low due to stupidly being flat against JAX!!!!!!
