Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.
The Wasted Decade is done.
Build Back Better.

Who is throwing away the year
I am not sure bringing back a bunch of players from a 5-12 team is a bad thing
As for other players like Mack, Bosa and Williams - those are cap decisions that teams go through. Its the reality. And really, how much is the team really losing by moving away from Joey Big Bear Bosa. Oh yeah, 14 games out of 34 in total about to be paid 22m
Harbaugh took this job to win a Super Bowl - he is going to build it to be like the Chiefs - not a one year wonder.
You can keep Bosa and Williams if you want too - but unless they take a pay cut - looking at pushing $30m of cap; and if you want to keep Mack and Allen, unless they take a pay cut, pushing 30m of cap. That will go towards the future -- and the Chargers will have less money to spend when they might be in a better position to win and if you keep all these players, you just get on this cycle like the Saints,.
I have always said let him and his team make the decisions in a logical way that helps the team the most but you have your opinions that are personal to you for some reason and in your mind that trumps all logic or will to win. It you are entitled to your opinion, just own up to it and don’t run away from it when it’s called out.

ill wait for Harbaugh and team to evaluate everything with a clear non emotionally damaged opinion and make the right decision. Then work his ass off to produce a winner.
Not a tantrum (at least in my case), I just don't see how it can all get fixed in one year. We need to temper our expectations with some reality. I EXPECT Harbaugh to make us (immediately) better, but I'm not expecting a deep playoff run (he's not God). Next year's ceiling is a WC berth . . . . . . . . . .at best (IMO), and I'm OK with that . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2025 however - that's where my expectations will really kick into gear. I expect us to challenge for a SB in 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, . . . . . . . . . . .

this reminds me of when the Pats DB's were accused of constantly rough up the colts' receivers for Manning, figuring that they would not call a penalty on every play.

I'd like to see him after Minter and Harbo get him coached up and run a professional defense but I don't know they'll prioritize him. He's not on my top Action List right now, they could get a different LB.

It might be that the chiefs are benefactors of the refs trying not to become the highlight of the game in the playoffs (the old "let'em play" approach). it could also be combined with coaching, telling them to clean it up just a bit in the playoffs. the penalty situation is always tough to nail down.
