If they tie they're both in.

someone on the rams tv broadcast talked outloud about the possibility of both teams just simply taking a knee on every single play, ending the game in a tie, and both teams survive to play another week. as a paying fan, i wouldn't be too happy about this, but it's certainly an intriguing notion.

AWESOME!

[Tank]

this final drive against the raiders has been epic. this has been a lot of fun.

on to OT.

[Tank]

both teams have kicked a field goal in OT. raiders have the ball with 4:00 left. 

if no one scores, both teams go to the playoffs and the steelers go home.

man, what a great game.

[Tank]

refs just missed a facemask against the chargers. yikes, that was kind of obvious.

two minute warning time.

[Tank]

two seconds left. raiders about to kick a FG. their kicker has never missed a FG attempt in this stadium.

[Tank]

game over. raiders win.

[Brandon]

Tank with the play by play even though everyone was watching the game.

Hilarious. There was a time many said the Chargers were the hottest team in the league and Super Bowl contenders a couple weeks ago and they don't even make the playoffs.

[Lou]

I didn't watch a single play. 

Cricket was on. 

 

 

seriously

You cannot lose a punt inside your own 20.  You cannot go for it on 4th inside your own 20.  The PI on Kenneth Murray in the 2nd quarter may have been the most atrocious coverage I've ever seen.  You cannot give up a first down on a draw play when it's 3rd and 23.  You cannot give up 35 and hope to win, and you cannot give up the 3rd most points on the year and expect to be successful or playoff bound.

Gotta get some run stuffers along that D-line, another pass rusher to help Bosa, and a consistent RT, maybe a burner WR to take advantage of Herbie's rocket arm and stretch the field.

the chargers will always be the chargers no matter where they go. some things are just in your dna. chargers gonna charger.

I'm actually out of "complain" mode with them and into "wait and see" mode now.  I like how the offseason is going so far.  Now they need some o-line help.

@Glen how is that working out for you?

 

 

One of these days glen is going to log back in and find 150 notifications waiting for him.

Looks like the Chargers are getting Khalil Mack for a 2nd and a 6th.

wow. that could be a great ad to the defense.

[HaloMilliVanilli]

Trade for Khalil Mack; then pickup JC Jackson at CB on a 5 year deal.  Reasonable start to free agency.

And I forgot about resigning Mike Williams to a 3 year, $60 million extension when the likes of Christian Kirk get a 4 year, $84 million deal.

[HaloMilliVanilli]

Bolstering that IDL with Austin Johnson and Sebastian Joseph-Day is sneaky solid.  Might actually get some run stops and force teams into 2nd/3rd and longs.  Let Bosa/Mack pin back their ears!

[eaterfan]

I think they went too big early and now have a lot of holes that still need fixing.

RT and RG are probably the worst in the NFL right now and the FA market and draft are not good at that position. Hopefully, they sign someone but there are a lot of teams that need a RT and there aren't many options. I like the Austin Johnson signing, but I'd rather have Justin Jones and Morgan Moses than him and any of the remaining RT options. 

[HaloMilliVanilli]

I wonder what the status of Oday Aboushi's rehab is?  Maybe they are in contact with him and that is the plan.  And there is the guard they drafted last year, Brendan Jaimes from Nebraska.  And this years draft.  I wouldn't mind them dropping back in the 1st round to obtain a second to replace the one they sent to Chicago.  1st-WR, 2nd- OT, 3rd-OG?

I'd also add that they went in and targeted the exact guys they wanted to fix specific issues.  They still have money to spend and now are just waiting on deal similar to last years Aboushi, Feiler signings.  Players of value are still getting cut.

I'm not panicking yet. You are correct that there is still time and some money, but I'm getting a little worried. Popper has them at about $8 million left in spending space and they currently have no starter at RT and RG. I know we want signings similar to Feiler, but he signed for a $7 million AAV. That's almost all our remaining cap space. Additionally, tackles are generally more expensive than guards and there are usually a lot more and of higher quality than tackles. There are some guys I have my eye on, Turner, Reiff and Kelly, but I don't think either will be Feiler level. Finally, there are a lot of teams that need a RT right now (Denver and Oakland in our division for example).

I also don't think there is a capable starter after the top 3. I'm sure one guy will break through, but there are 10 guys who will have the chance and if you guess wrong you are stuck with a terrible situation. 

I would like to trade down, too. We'll see if that happens.

[Tank]

Chargers signed Khalil Mack.

[St1ck]

Fuck

[Blarg]

The Chargers are retarded.
