Pre-game Discussion: Chargers 6.5 pt favorite vs. Broncos

[dmac_bolt]

I like the Chargers in this one

Perryman is a china bull. I don't think he is capable of playing without breaking himself against something

I'm glad I'm in Europe for the next 3 weeks so I don't have to watch these games for awhile, I'll get my sanity back !

donkeys also run the ball very well..... both DEN and JAX will be hard for Chargers to beat since we still cannot tackle and stop the run..... not sure why teams we play decide to stop running since we clearly could not stop them.....?

0 - for teams are very difficult to beat because with every loss they get more and more desperate to win...... DEN beat us last year and this DEN team is better..... And this Chargers team makes way too many mistakes....especially that take away most of the Chargers big plays this season......

The Broncos are 21st in the league in rushing and average yards per rush.

The Chargers rush defense is 14th in the league and 15th in average yards per rush. We definitely got scorched in that first Colt game and gave up 203 yards. But in the 3 games since then, we have the number 3 rush defense in the league allowing an average of 68 yards per game and 3.2 yards per rush. There is always room for improvement, but it's not as bad as some think.

Don't confuse people with facts! :lmao:

The Defense hasn't been as bad as we tend to think... but the injuries are worrisome. The lack of pass rush vs Houston was really worrisome.

I hope John Elway is their GM 4-ever

Should be a lock to win this.
But any given Sunday.

What happens at TE spot.
Kendricks has looked good playing the receiver role.
Gates would play that role if brought in, so he isn't needed. Not coming back.

Who is going to be the block TE.
Do they go just heavy with O lineman on goal line situation only. Use 2 RBs to chip and leak out.
My guess is the block TE won't be part of the gameplay next week.

If they do more 2 RBs sets, it would put another playmaker pass catcher on field.

Agree. Amazing that their QB got pounded the week before playing us, he had all day long to pass against us, and went back to being pounded again yesterday.

Broncos are much better than Miami. They are an actual NFL team that's been beaten by a couple of last second fg's. Their defense isn't what it used to be but Chubb and Miller against Tevi and Scott is not a great match up for us. We couldn't beat em last year at Stub Hub due to some dumb mistakes at the end. But we've been making dumb mistakes at the end this year too. I'm expecting a nail biter

Well stated and a sound warning. We can't expect anything to come easy as they are gonna be ticked after losing another last minute game, this time to Uncle Rico. We HAVE top be 3 - 2 heading into the Steelers game

Yep. Same exact thing I was saying in another thread. Houston is a good gage. Their oline has sucked against everyone but us. 75 percent of our front 4 flat out sucks.

I believe we have one of the worst dlines in the league currently. Who knows, maybe with ingram out, we find a gem in lanier or peace and get lucky, but it still won't solve the problem on the interior.
