Chargers are a tough read

wins vs the Raiders (meh) the Panthers (double meh) and the Broncos (hmm)

losses to the Justin Fields Steelers and the Chiefs


said differently-- rankings of QBs by Passer Rating / by QBR (pick your fav stat) they have faced:

by Passer Rating: 40, 29, 24, 19, 15

by QBR: 32, 28, 23, 20, 17

FWIW: Kyler is currently 11th in passer rating and 8th in QBR

Seriously. We'd get more exposure on a 10 am regional game on CBS.

There is no darker backwater than the broadcasting window for this game. Will it even be shown in bars outside LA and PHX?
Oh yeah… I WILL get this game because I live in LA!

Anyone know what channel it’ll be on in LA?

They're the #1 scoring defense in the NFL. Top 10 against the run and the pass.

If I'm chasing going into MNF, I might bang the under here (currently 43.5 according to PFR.

The charger should be able to top 43 on our defense all by themselves

I doubt it. They're averaging just 18.2 PPG and the 22nd-ranked offensive DVOA in the NFL. A lot of that is Herbert struggling through injury.

If there's a game for the Chargers to bounce back from their 21st-ranked rushing efficiency, this would be the one to do it.

They're 8th in the NFL in rushing attempts.

I don't buy into the Petzing is dumb thing. We were the only team to score a TD on their opening drive in the first 5 games. Those were some tough and physical teams and he was able to script the perfect start to the game.

Where he seems to struggle is countering when teams counter. That's an experience thing.

I do believe all the coaches are behind the 8 ball on talent once injuries set in.

Here is my why the offense is under performing

#1 Injuries on the oline.
#2. Talent at the WR position
#3. Kyler Murray not reading the defense and audibling to the correct play
#4. Kyler Murray not running enough
#5. Petzing
#6. RB Production
#7. TE production
I think #2 is going to improve over time. Both Wilson and MHJ are improving the more they play. Let's get another couple guys in here via draft and trade.

I think we are doomed until the Cardinal logo is rotated properly on the forum list. Needs a clockwise rotation a few degrees.
A while back, I was going to provide new/better versions of all of the logos on the forum, but couldn't get them to look good at the required size. Maybe someday if the forum allows SVGs, we can make them look really good.

...and yes - the Cardinals primary logo is often rotated at an incorrect angle, and even more curiously missing the key line/outline/stroke. It should look like this:

This is why we suck. When I see one all jenky on a car I want to bash into it. I believe Logo is a legit defense in Arizona.

Trey McBride should get high target share against the Chargers' defenseMcBride has been targeted on 25.5% of his routes, which is the 2nd highest target rate among TEs. The LA defense allows targets to TEs at the 3rd highest rate in the NFL, making them susceptible
