The OFFICIAL "Glen Complains About The CHARGERS" THREAD

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

Colston hasn't just slowed down he can't create any separation and the last few years he seemed to always be dealing with leg injuries.  Aside from a veteran presence there's very little he could give the Rams.  If any team should take a flyer on him it would be a team like San Diego who has a veteran QB who can actually throw the ball.

Danny Woodhead down with an apparent right knee injury. He was tackled awkwardly and the knee bent in a weird way. His return is questionable. Please, for once football gods, be kind to us. 

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Chargers fear Woodhead has a torn ACL. 

Fuck my life!

[nando714]

Travis Benjamin did me no favors on my bench in fantasy 

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Confirmed, Woodhead with a torn ACL. Out for the year.

Addie with a broken collarbone; will have surgery and miss an extended period of time. Not that big off a loss, but a loss none the less. Serves him well though for always lowering his shoulder and always trying to make a massive hit. Sometimes you just gotta wrap up and tackle properly.

Dwight Lowery has indirectly called out the training staff for the massive amounts of injuries. He has questioned if they're doing something different in SD that is hindering the players in regards to maintaining their health. You gotta wonder if they are, too. The amount of injuries this team faces year in and year out is absurd. Granted all NFL teams face injuries...it just seems like every year the Chargers are losing players like mad.

I'm just happy I have Melvin Gordon and Travis Benjamin on my fantasy team

My girlfriend and I switched between the Rams and Chargers games.   She likes both teams, and they are still my #2 team in tribute to PercySquint.   

The winning Colts TD reception = joke coverage in the secondary.   Someone screwed up big time.

[Spirit]

This game is about to become another classic Chargers meltdown.

Well.....that was tough to watch.  A team that could be 4-0, at the very least 3-1, is 1-3.  The Benjamin fumble was unbelievable.

[Brandon]

Ah yes, the good ol' sports fan "we could be...."

[HaloMilliVanilli]

So it's ridiculous to think that most, if not all, teams wouldn't have blown two leads like we've had?  Must be a nice view from atop that extremely high horse.

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

In the Chargers 3 losses, they had moments in the game where they were 99%, 81%, and 98% predictability locks to win the game. Fucking embarrassing.

Its time...I agree with Tomlinson, if we're going to keep McCoy around, its time to trade Rivers. This man deserves better than this shitty situation. Year and year, pathetic line after pathetic line, injury after injury...he's putting up numbers and putting us in a chance to win games only to be blown by absolutely pathetic coaching, play calling, and turnovers. 

There has to be a big market for a player of Rivers' caliber. Imagine a team like Los Angeles, NY Jets, Buffalo...hell, even Minnesota..with a QB like Rivers? All of these teams have great surrounding pieces, solid to elite defenses and mid level to good QB's. Los Angeles could trade for him and pair him up with that defense. He's given SD everything he's capable of, its time for the Chargers to do him a solid and let him have a shot at a championship on a team that is one piece away from being a contender. 

It is time for a full rebuild. We have a lot of good young pieces...its time to get a coach in there to grow with them. Rivers could net us draft picks vital to a quick rebuild.

another defeat snatched from the jaws of victory. espn already conjecturing about the chargers coach being on the hot seat, and rightly so.

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Better tank for a top 2 pick. Trade Rivers. Verrett feared out for the season with torn knee ligaments. FUCK ME. 

[HaloMilliVanilli]

I agree and have mentioned trading Rivers.  But to whom would he be traded?  What team would want a vet QB that is ready to win now, or at least very soon?  Tennessee has two first rounders but they have Mariota.  Cleveland has two first rounders.  Maybe they would part with one of them but would Rivers buy into that?  Doubtful.  And neither of those situations is a win now (or soon) situation.  The Rams?  They'd have to give up future (as in post 2017) picks since they already traded next years #1 pick.

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

@HaloJustinBieber I could see the Rams trading for him if they had the salary room? Goff clearly isn't ready and he could learn a lot from Rivers for a couple of seasons. They've got the defense and skill positions down, they just need a real QB that can play consistently. 

I think the perfect situation would be the Jets; but I don't think they've got the cap room or assets to make that trade happen. They have a solid defense, two great WR's, a solid OL and run game.

We'll see what happens this offseason. In season trades are extremely rare and with how competitive Rivers is, I don't see him giving up on the Chargers in the middle of a season. This offseason could be very interesting though. We'll be projected for a top 5 pick I'm guessing and Rivers could net us some more picks. We could really speed up a rebuild if the Chargers' want to go down this route. Factor in the young core of Bosa, Jatavis Brown, Verrett, Allen, and Gordon...a rebuild could be expedited.

All I know is Rivers deserves a chance to win a ring and I hope the Chargers give him that by trading him to a team that is a QB away from being a legit contender. 

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Joey Bosa is FAST. Great first half for him. A sack, another tackle for a loss, chased down Amari Cooper and tackled him from behind. Really impressed. I am loving the young ore of our defense. 

[Spirit]

Oh ... My ... Gawd!!!

 

 

[Glen]

Man, if this game doesn't get McCoy fired, then nothing will.  Your team is 1-4, you have fourth and inches, and you go for a game-tying field goal.  You have absolutely nothing to lose.  

But yeah, still expected.

[Ray McKigney]

The SILVER AND BLACK ATTACK destroy the Chargers on their way to Super Bowl glory!!!!!!

[Glen]

LOL.  You just barely beat the Chargers.  Don't get too excited yet.

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Fuck Drew Kaser. Fuck Mike McCoy. 

Joey Bosa is going to be a monster. Build that defense around Bosa, Ingram, Verrett, and Brown. 

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

On the bright side Joey Bosa with an amazing first game as a Charger: 5 tackles, 2 sacks, 3 tackles for a loss, and 2 QB hits
