This Chargers staff is so fired. They honestly probably should've been fired last year.

Maye is very talented but I don't have the conviction about him that I did Howell.

The wheels are falling off in Boulder. The shine and fanfare wore off QUICK.

Steve Bisciotti is very hands off as owner of the Ravens. Same HC since '08. Their current GM has been in the organization since '96. Ozzie Newsome is now the Executive VP and was the GM from '02-'18 and with the organization since '96. Bisciotti started as a minority owner in '00 taking full ownership in '04. He pretty much just lets the football side of the organization run itself.

Asante Jr. has to pick that off. INTs don't come much easier than that one in the NFL.

Most folks on here just parrot what the talking heads tell them and convince themselves it's a conclusion they arrived at on their own. Once you realize this, society as a whole starts to make a lot more sense.

I cannot stand Sean Payton but I'm honestly shocked that the Chargers stuck with this clown instead of going all in to lure one of the best offensive coaches in the modern NFL to pair with their talented young QB. This MFing clown literally just stood there and said they have to get a takeaway on defense. Get a defensive score. Are you fuging serious??? Your D held the Ravens to 10 points. Your offense only put up 3. The D ain't your problem.

This is how normal people operate. It's not how egomaniacal billionaires generally act. If anything, he'll probably think he needs to be even more involved.

I just don't think it's a data thing. There's no sure thing in the draft. Great college players that don't translate. Great athletes that don't translate. Guys who don't have great measurables but translate anyway. There's no foolproof blueprint to follow and that's why there's steals and busts every year.

Hell, I like Bryce. He seems like a really good guy. It was just very obvious watching him at Bama that his physical skill set was marginal at best at the NFL level.

By all accounts? The damn thread is about the player the pass went to literally saying the original play call was a better option. How can you cope THIS hard?

Yeah, no more dinners please. Tepper and company RAVED about the dinner conversations of both Rhule and Bryce. It was HUGE in the evaluation of both. Folks, we're looking for football people. I'm not trying to figure out if I want you dating my daughter.

Gonna get fixed right here. Keenan Allen just coughed up a fumble.

I think Tepper thought the S2 test was some kind of QB evaluation cheat tool and he convinced himself that QB was such a cerebral position that actual physical talent took a distant backseat to mental ability. Unfortunately, there are physical prerequisites. There are plenty of guys who weren't very good QBs as players who have become very good coaches. It wasn't a lack of mental ability, they didn't have the physical ability.

Ouch. I think the refs botched that spot. I think Lamar got that ball past the sticks. I guess the Ravens didn't want to "waste" a challenge figuring it was a gimme to convert on 4th and inches but oops, they turn it over on downs. Should've thrown that red flag.

I think he let the good headlines go to his head. I can't help but think back to the preseason that after getting treated like a speed bump out there he'd be all smiles on the sidelines and talk about how great everything was going when interviewed and the Huddle attitude was largely the same. LOL! Preseason doesn't matter. Real fans know this. Well look so much better once we start game planning. Same vibes from the staff and front office. Meanwhile, I'm sitting here watching the guys who are supposed to be our best players looking like fresh ripe dog poo and thinking... uh, this is far from fine. The red flags are flying high and flying everywhere.

It's less about the best team and more about peaking at the right time.

No. Bringing back Marty Hurney is honestly the only thing that ever came anywhere close.

Be prepared to keep that energy next season. I know I am.

Wow. And that penalty on the Chargers OL was very weak. That was a really shitty string of events from this ref crew.

Man, that looked like a very obvious late hit out of bounds. And a Chargers OL ends up getting a personal foul penalty after the play protecting his QB. Refs really botched that one.

I'll take great feet over great arm length all day everyday. Ideal arm length is more of a want than a need IMO. If you don't have the feet to stay in front of them you're beat no matter what.

Yep. Their luck ran out when they ran into a bad call on Bradberry. I think it happens earlier than the SB this year.

They played scared on D in OT. Soft as poo. But you can't have that QB/WR miscommunication on a wide ass open TD. They lost the game right there.

I still say their luck runs out when it matters most. They flame out in the playoffs
