Official Charger Season Discussion - News - Roster Moves - Injuries

[charger1_sj]

Credentialism is a plague on society, the stupidest deference to blind authority as an excuse to ignore all rational analysis. Lack of consistency is not a virtue, it’s irrational. BB shouldn’t be crucified for doing the exact same thing you criticize Staley for because … he’s won in the past - thats just a stupid argument. Stop embarrassing yourself with idiotic arguments.

Over half of TPB called for starters to play v Denver, I actually did call loudly for key players to sit and i even put Mdub at #1 on my list. a lot of others here are just full of shit.

Except he didn't do what Staley did. Completely difference circumstances. Unless you are aware that BB played a WR coming off injury in a meaningless game
right before the PO, did he do that? No BB starts his first string whether it's meaningless or not. He doesn't start players that are injury prone in meaningless games.
So there's that. The point being BB is a smarter more experience coach with a proven track record of doing the right thing. And Staley was not crucified. He was
criticized and rightfully so. You shout out to sit MW and there you are saying shit about me. Talk about a hypocrite.

But the current team wasn’t mediocre last year, even with historic injuries. They were a playoff team. Making the playoffs is by definition not mediocre. Only what, 1/3 of the league makes it?

For the season, the offense was better than avg (13th), defense was mediocre (22nd) ,scoring (ppg).

13th represents the 60th percentile, that just above average of 50th. 22nd represents the 30th percentile, thats below average as in bad.
It points to the Chargers needing better backups especially on D. That's of course because of all the injuries we had on both sides of the ball.

Being above average on offense with the injuries we had is a very good sign. On the other hand the D appears to have major issues.

How many lose in the same way we did?Like 2 other teams in NFL history I think?

Who cares how you lose. We were 10-7 and in the playoffs, we are drafting #21. There were 20 teams worse than us last year according to the NFL. 2/3 of the league not as a good as LAC even after we suffered historic injuries and Lombo. Both will be better in 2023, ergo LAC will be better.

Skeptics should recognize it’s possible, Optimists believe its probable.

9-8 to 10-7 is a vault? Lol. 2023 will be better, you don’t need to worry. and you don’t him my nerve, I’ve taken pity on you and just want to help.

hugs.

The word 'vaulted' was in quotes, Einstein. Connect the dots and try to keep up (if you can).

How many get that many takeaways in the 1st half of a playoff game?

And still lose?

Good question! It's incredibly difficult to get that many takeaways against a playoff team. Extremely rare set-up for an L.

It's just one of those things that will go down in Charger lore. There's already a couple of those. This one ranks right up there.
Chargering taken to the next level.

It's a shame that we had close to no offense.Hopefully the new OC can do a better job with backups and an injured QB.
