Well..."Cheers" To A Winning Season At Least

[BlazingBolt]

Winning record and beat the raiders twice. Acceptable first year for the new coach.

Maybe I'm missing something but can you explain the locker room baggage that Lambo had. Lambo was not that bad and imo they took a chance on Koo and it backfired. They didn't even bring him back when they were playing musical kickers.

Thank you Chargers. Thank you very much.

-Sweeping the Raiders (punishingly in the closer)
-beating Dallas on Thanksgiving in 'Jerry World' like a drum
-hanging with top notch teams Philly, NE, KC
-winning as many games as the past two years combined
-back to the #1 passing offense
-Rivers missing the passing title by 50 yards
-Rivers being sacked the LEAST in the league
-Rivers throwing only 10 INTS (6 in 2 games)
-1500 yards from scrimmage for Gordon including 1000+ yards rushing
-Keenan Allen w/a comeback season for the ages
-defensive 'identity' again

All this (and more) w/a new HC, DC, position coaches, and playing 16 road games and moving the franchise to LA??? Beats the hell out of being 0-for-Cleveland and heading into an offseason where we got the relocation announcement and "the logo".

I am not going to lie I thought at 0-4 I was watching the series of Breaking Bad, when it look like something good was going to happen something bad happen. I am bummed we didn't make the playoffs, but excited about next year! My assessment of the team changed way they played the next 12 games and we played New England tough, and gave the Jags a victory.

I was way off base.
1. Verrett going down I was thinking teams were going to abuse Trevor Williams - I was wrong
2. Phillip Rivers looked like he was done - I was wrong
3. Lynn look like he didn't have a clue - I was wrong
4. Lamp going down seem like doom and gloom- I was wrong the line did better than any of us thought it would
5. Mike Williams being injured dam all year and a #1 pick left me feeling bad- fact is we really didn't even need him
6. Hunter Henry was being under utilized early - I was wrong thinking they didn't have a clue how to use him, he came up big before getting injured
7.. Playing at Stub Hub Stadium was a disadvantage - In some aspect I think it helped the team come together knowing they had to because they didn't always get a lot of support at home so there wasn't a home field advantage.

I was wrong about a lot.

Winning record with the 5th easiest schedule in the league.
Have to be A LOT better next year to repeat that feat.
Although Offense put up lots of yards, didn't score a great deal, horrible in the red zone. D needs to learn how to tackle( worst in the league), and Teams....well, what can you say...another lost year.
If TT does his job, has a solid draft , brings in some solid FA's, and the scouts continue their haul of UDFA's, we should battle for the west, which is a really lousy division.

Ricky Henne the main writer on the team website just picked Melvin Gordon as his offensive player of the year, wow. Does he knows something more about Gordon's injury that we don't?

Melvin Gordon

I think the rest of my cohorts will go with Keenan AllenMelvin Gordon

Nick Harwick put Gordon on Honorable Mention:

NKeenan Allen

The single season mark in receptions and second in yardage should say enough. If Philip Rivers was behind the wheel of the car, Keenan AllenMelvin Gordon

[Bolt-O]

Click bait

[vinabolt]

Most of the team website writers vote Hayward over Bosa for Defensive player of the Year, wow. And Hayward was also named an NFL all-pro.
