Yeah exactly, did I miss the memo that the colts and Texans are fucking amazing? They’re not.

If we can take care of the football then the Chargers are beatable. In their game against KC, Rivers was taking a lot of hits early on which led to his 2 picks so if our defense can put the heat on him then good things can happen for us. Gordon will also need to be contained, but our run defense has been mostly solid all year long. Keep the running game chugging along and take some deep shots down the field (try to go at Addae and not James lol) and we should be able to put enough points on the board to be in a position to win the game late.

I'm a religious guy, I have plenty of respect for people who are atheists. You're allowed to think whatever you want
Who I don't have respect for are those who call them brainwashed or sheep.....

you know, in theory..because rivers is so stationary and not like Ben in that he can make those extended plays with his strength and legs...we really need to activate tim williams and use him vs a slow tackle like okung.
I'm usually more scared of mobile QB vs us.
Guys, religion doesn't have a place for talk on the boards, much less the Chargers game thread. Seriously, just don't. You'll never change another person's mind about it so don't try.

Well aware, but I am not looking past Saturday right now.
I realistically think this game is a loss. The Saints and Chiefs may have scary offenses, but a healthy Chargers aren't terribly far behind AND their defense is drastically better. The Chargers in the playoffs is basically a meme, but they are my dark horse to challenge for a Super Bowl.

I actually think the Chargers have a legit chance to make it. A Rivers vs. Brees super bowl would sell REALLY well.
That said, the Chargers may be the first #1 seed in NFL history that doesn't truly have homefield advantage.....
imagine how great this chargers team would be if hunter henry was not out for the year and joey bosa didnt miss the first half of the season either...

This is a tough game because James has had success vs Lamar Jackson in college. That concerns me because it means he knows some of Jackson’s tendencies and while that means Lamar knows him, too, I feel like the matchup favors James more as James has to only account for Lamar but Lamar must account for James and King and other defenders. This is a big concern.
With that said, I think have too many options on offense change a bad thing at times as well so I’m not sure what kind of impact having Gordon back will have on the game. This defense is weird and it seems we almost do better against top guys than backups. I like Jimmy and Humphrey against any of their WR and would use Humphrey on Allen and Smith on Williams if they both play.

It is incredibly sad at how poorly the city embraced the team, honestly.
i mean tbf LA never wanted 2 teams - just the 1 - and they've very much embraced the Rams

Actually... they did want two teams. They got one of the desired ones... the rams. But they wanted the Raiders again lol.
Chargers had the perfect opportunity to either stay in San Diego or move to Vegas to acquire a new fan base and make all the money Spanos wanted from all the Vegas Tourism.... but nope. LA
I don't even understand why they moved from SD. I don't know if there were stadium issues or issues with the city, but it's beautiful all year round and a pretty dope city. To me, it's better than downtown LA, but what do I know?
And on a side note, why the hell is LA even getting two teams in the first place? Entire states don't even have teams, but LA can have two teams? BS to me.
