    Can't sleep on any team in the NFL, but squeaking out a tie with AZ isn't shaking me in my boots just yet. I lived in Metro Detroit for 5 years at one point. I tend to keep a glance at their season every year. The Lions are always not as good as they should be. Always

    Chargers win, 2-0 start ...

      Sounds like two similar teams!

      We should win this one...

        TJ Hockenson is going to be nightmare for our slow footed LBs. He had the best game for a rookie today. Slow down Stafford and we got a chance.

          They did play one of the worst D in the league that were missing their top 2 corners.

            I expect the matchup with DET to be somewhat similar to IND.

            They have similar ideas about how to succeed.

            The big difference will be the makeup of DET's Dline.

            Have a great gameplan, LAC.

              I watched the Cardinals/Lions game especially the 2nd half and the Lions are a garbage team.

              Chargers need to to focus on getting a 20/25 pt first half lead and then resting Rivers, Bosa, Ingram, Ekeler etc the rest of the game.

              Should be the same strategy to use against Miami as well. Have an amazing start and then let Tyrod Taylor and crew build on that.
              Tom Telesco’s Results in 9 years as Chargers GM:

              - 69-74 record
              - 0 division titles in 9 yrs as GM
              - Worst record among all active GMs with same tenure
              - 6th worst winning percentage among all active GMs overall
              - 2 playoff wins despite elite QB all 9 yrs
              - Team still has the same weaknesses (Oline and run defense) that it had when hired as GM in 2013
              - Consistently puts together horrible depth, expects starters to never miss games

                The Lions aren't as talented.

                But that doesn't matter.

                Going to have to come ready to play.

                  Rivers needs not to not throw INTs in the end zone
                  The LBs need to not give up long TD runs to mediocre RBs
                  AP needs to wrap up tackles on WRs

                  That's pretty much it

                    Patricia is an awful coach. The Lions will probably keep him around this season and next and then fire him. He'll go back to NE and be successful as Belichek's DC again. That being said, every now and then, he develops an inspired game plan and the Lions look great. For one half or maybe even one game. Let's hope its not this weekend.

                    I really do like the Lions. Always have. They just never seem to be able to do anything. There is a lot of talent on that team and in years past, too. They just seem to perpetually choke and underachieve. Wierd.

                      I actually wanted the Chargers to hire Patricia before they hired Lynn. For some reason I root for the Lions to. They seemed to be the NFC version of the Chargers albeit less talented

                        I think the Lions cant be compared to the Chargers... haven't won a playoff game in quite a while, Yeah, some of the their players have been pretty great, but all teams have that period where they have been really successful, and bad. Lions have not ever been really successful in a very very long time.

                          I think Chargers flip their stats vs Lions. Strong D, ho-hum on O. Maybe they'll surprise me but Det's DL is pretty sturdy. LAC 20 - Det 17
