Eagles at Chargers (Week 14) | Pre-game Discussion

[Bolt4Knob]

some of these 7-5 and better teams are gonna start playing each other too. We are not the only ones that could add to the L column - somebody(s) else also HAS to add L's by the laws of physics. I think NE has the easiest run?

Jags play the Colts twice
Colts and Texans I think play again

Ravens and Steelers play twice. The winner of that division might be 9-8 so only one teams
KC losing this week end would be VERY beneficial to the Chargers

KC plays Denver on Xmas Day in KC
Bills have NE

If Herb is limited in ability to be under center I hope we have a wildcat package we work in regularly. Is Gadsden our emergency QB? If so needs to be him to keep the threat of a pass.

[Charge!]

I don't know what the Eagles problem is this year. A friend of mine who is a die hard Eagles fan says they only play one-half of decent football per game and its not the same half each time.

I'd be hard pressed to name a position group or player that is more talented on the Chargers than the Eagles. Maybe Edge? QB if Herbert plays?

I would say Herbert is better than Hurts as a QB......Hurts is more of a RB playing QB....

everywhere else, eagles have more talent..... OL, DL, TE, RB, LB, DB, .....our WR group might be close to equal.... Our Kicker might be better? or at least equal....

CIN and MIA are now in running also....

CIN has a chance to win the division as the division is terrible - Buff Balt AZ Cleve and Miami - I think they might be able to get to 4-1 but they have to beat Buff
Miami is 5-7 and coming fast but they have Jets, Cincy Pitt NE and Tampa left - I think at best they are 8-9

Right now Mia and Cincy is a SNF game - that one has to be flexed I would think

I agree we regain Omarion this week - he's good at receiving and adds a dimension.

I don't know the Diss story - there is something inside that building we are not privy to cuz he went from favorite to inactive in a hurry.

I expect Omarion back. We're in a run to the playoffs, literally I believe. The Eagles have been pretty mediocre at run defense. Vidal catches the ball also.

Yes, the Patriots get to play the Giants tonight and close the season with games against the Jets and Dolphins. In between they have to play the Bills at home and the Ravens in Balt though.

That MIA/CIN game should be very high scoring, so entertaining...worth watching....lol

I hate that NE got so good, so quickly!....if we make the playoffs, it would be awesome to play them and be the ones who end their season for once!

They're 8-4 with losses to Denver, Giants, Dallas and Chicago and are not clearly better in any team stats than LAC.
With all those stars I'd expect a little better. Sorry I can't wish them well on Dec 8.

Texans playing really good football with probably the best DL in NFL.

Hampton may be back if Herbert is playing we have a chance. Philly is not a team it was year ago.

Call me crazy but I see Eagles game as the most probably to win out of remaining schedule.

I actually had the same thought - at the risk of jinxing it, I also agree that the Eagles are the "easiest" team remaining. Not because they are bad, but because we seem to be catching them at the right time?

Road games against KC and Denver will be tough, but they are divisional foes so it will be close. Denver may even end up resting starters that final week if they've wrapped things up.

I think Houston will be the hardest game simply because of their defense and we saw what they did to us last year.

Dallas also seems scary hot right now too. We are about to enter murderer's row.

Hoping that the OL play we saw against the Raiders and the Steelers is more typical of what we will see moving forward...and that the Jags game was an aberration based on plugging in Penning + travel, east coast, pick your excuse, etc.

If it's more like what we saw against the Raiders/Steelers, we WILL be able to run the ball in December and it will mask some of our pass blocking issues.
