Seeing shit like which QB can throw the ball furthest is infinitely more interesting than a meaningless half-assed game

I'm glad I was too tired yesterday morning to remember to change my alarm. I managed to sleep through the Chargers' shitshow.

This season is shaping up to be the usual: A team that looks good on paper shits itself on the field. I'm already expecting them the just miss the playoffs.

I think you should try poaching from the McVay / Shanahan coaching tree while there's still some talent left. Seems to be working well for Cincinatti and Miami.

You have nothing left to lose and I think the Chargers have tried just about everything else.

Brandon Staley is literally from the McVay coaching tree… not sure if trolling.

Lol. I didn't take 10 seconds to check where the current coach came from. I guess there is no hope for the Chargers.

When did the pro bowl stop being a real game anyway? I swear when I was a kid they played relatively seriously.

It changed a ton when they moved it to the week between the conference championship games and the Super Bowl. Led to Super Bowl players opting out. Which then led to even non-SB players opting out.

NHL has a pretty decent all star game. Its also a skills competition (hardest slapshot, fastest skater, most consecutive saves etc) followed by a light exhibition match between the conferences (or is it divisions? don't feel assed to look it up). Been saying for years NFL needs to copy that shit.

Also now that I've recovered from the Bucs loss I'm not too mad about it. Brady put on a hell of a show for us at the end and Gage redeemed himself. Hate to see a guy like that throw the game so hard because you know its probably the worst day of his life. I gotta hand it to Tod and that defensive line. After the half they really tightened shit up. Still feeling hopeful for our chances. It almost felt like staving off the inevitable guillotine at the end of the first half but we were gifted quite a lot of opportunities (as were GB) but we just couldn't capitalize on it. A Arod came out strong and that momentum inevitably won em that game.

Health check on Denamian

See I don't really think it's fair that Sanchez gets so much grief for the butt fumble when even the announcers at the time pointed out that Vince Wilfork threw the offensive lineman back into Sanchez. The butt punt on the other hand is just pure room temperature IQ in action.

Man the Chargers can just never have a fully healthy season.

I still can't believe the Giants took Daniel Jones as the 6th overall pick, he would have been a nice 4th rounder and a solid backup. Even if they make the playoffs I think they will try to move up and get a QB in the 2023 draft.
