Week 18 Bolts @ Raiders Final - Pre Game Discussion

[BlazingBolt]

One of my Favorite Charger games ever is Brees throwing 5 TDs against them when I had endzone seats. Was that the last time a Charger threw 5 TDs?

Warren Sapp had a classic backhanded compliment, something to affect of, "how are we supposed to know Brees was going to be Joe Montana?!"

I don’t know if a Bobby Ross or Mary Schottenheimer would last in today’s NFL.

Here’s a good breakdown of the qualities a HC needs in the modern NFL:

For all of the good things that you can say about Bobby Ross, he's also the guy who inspired Barry Sanders to walk away from the game.

Barry found it thankless, playing for Ross. The game was no longer fun.

Or put another way, we’re in the playoffs. Actually, we’re in round 2 of the playoffs. Last week was round 1.

If we lose and don't make the real playoffs will any of us look back and say we made the playoffs this year?

I listened carefully to Staley's press conference and came away convinced that we are playing the best team in history on Sunday night!

GOOD!!!! We want none of that "it's just the 3-11 Texans" attitude that made us play like........you know........

Looks like the Raiders defense play better against the lower tier QBs ....

[Velo]

The Raiders have faced some of the league's worst QBs lately, and they've lost to a few of them and almost lost to Nick Freakin's Mullens in Cleveland, when half the Browns' roster was on the COVID list. They managed to squeak by the Colts, after Carson Wentz missed the entire week of practice because of the COVID list. I watched that game, Wentz was bad. But against better QBs and passing attacks, it's a different story. The Raiders' D has surrendered 89 pts to Mahomes in two games this season, 33 pts to Dak Prescott, and 32 pts to Joe Burrow. With an intact OL and a full complement of receiving targets, look for Herbert to have a big game v. the Raiders, a team he has pretty much dominated from the first time he played them.

Need a reminder of how good Rivers was against the raiders? Check this out;

Thank you for sharing that.

I really enjoyed watching it.

If this means that the Chargers aren't going into the game overconfident? I'm all for it.
