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?

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.
