So who's ready for another year of poor running because tom didn't pick up a blocking TE
I think we actually turned a leaf in the running game. Our d-line and linebackers have done good against the run and has improved every game. When do you see an offseason emphasis actually translate in the regular season for the Chargers? Rarely.
Thaaank you Dan, i feel the EXACT same way as you.
BOLT UP YOU GUYS, excellent show….and yes Dan 2nd half needs to be the KEEP YOUR FOOT ON THE THROAT PHASE, however we can CELEBRATE this awesome CHARGERS TEAM…I will say this simple thought that I learned in the 12 years serving in the Army, and apply it to what we've seen out of our team and coach Staley over the past few years…LOSING IS LEARNING, and until this past few weeks of inexcusable losses, nobody was really willing to humble themselves and realize and reset…Last week, and yes late as it may be, Staley spoke FINALLY as if he had finally been humbled…therefore the greatest warriors regardless of skill or knowledge sometimes have to come from the darkest places of battle…This CHARGERS TEAM will be just fine, I REALLY BELIEVE IT….THANK YOU GUYS hope you have a awesome rest of your week, and GOD BLESS…!
I was feeling exactly like Dan. Normally, when I watch a Chargers game, I'm still up during the entire game. Sunday, I was sitting the entire time and I was not as happy as usual when they scored or did something good in defense. It's somewhat a good sign that they easily beat an inferior opponent but I'm yet to be convinced.
I can't believe we are one of the worst run games and pass defenses. That is absolutely incredible.
We have to win Monday. We go from a 22% to a 88% chance of making the playoffs, assuming we only lose to the Lions, Ravens, and Bills for the rest of the season. We need to go 10-7. If we are 9-8 its a 22% chance. And I don't know how we fair against a real playoff team.
Ug.
The sad part is that fans r accepting this mediocrity and joking about it so why r we kidding ourselves SMH!
It’s time to change this Loser image that this team has.
No more Hype and Cool Media Posts we prefer a Super Bowl Winning Organization that does what it takes to finally make that a reality.
I get the Optimism and it’s good to be positive minded but in Sports that won’t matter we can sound like a broken record all we want but it wont change the same thing happening on the field game after game.
Time to do what’s best for the team and not get attached to mediocre players make trades release players sign players do whatever it takes to win.
If Talesco and Staley could back up ALL the talk they do and had multiple Super Bowls in their resume then go with the process but if it’s something thats NOT working then gotta make a change anything else is insanity…..
Fire Staley Fire Talesco…..
I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth; we needed this win for SO many reasons. We can build on this! Justin played like we know he can play.
I was nervous till the clock said 0:00😂😂
Dan you are spot on with your explanation of the offense. I felt the same when they could score in the second half
Glad to SEE Q catch 5 balls in this game , it's a start ? But , he was wide open another 4 more times , that they NEVER , even looked at him ? 2 games in a row , with 4 wide open plays for Q ? He is getting open , that is NOT the problem , here ?
We need to get ready for lions… our run D is going to get tested!!!
Got an exam on game day next week, and for the sake of my mental health, I will not be looking at the score till I get home.
