week 3:chargers

expectation for this game?

 

Very low scoring game.

Whichever team can get to at least 21 or so wins. Justin Herberts injury looms large.

 

This will be another tough battle. Hopefully they can pull out another ugly win.

 

Wow, I didn't even know he was hurt. Is he expected to play against the Steelers?

 

My biggest worry for this game is our tackles blocking Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack, just like they're gonna be worried about Watt and Highsmith

 

Chargers and Steelers both faced soft offenses so hard to say how good they are overall. I have a feeling it'll be a little more open, I'm going for a Steelers win and take the over 45 game points.

 

depends on herbert. stop the charger run is job one.

 

still have not gotten this running game fired up

want to see 150 on the ground!

that is our QB's best friend.

another UGLY football game coming up.......JH or not.

 

He had a MRI after game and they should know more about his leg injury by tomorrow. He finished the game but was limping pretty noticeably.

 

I was surprised to see we had 141 yards rushing yesterday but that includes the scrambles by Fields.

 

Thanks man. Bad for him, good for us

 

Yeah, really. That was the quietest 141 yards I've ever saw

 

yes - well, I should clarify.

Want to see a traditional run style Steelers game. Running backs and an OLINE that gets it done.

but Jimmy H. will have something to say about that, he will stack that box and make Fields / Wilson THROW. Can we??

 

Yeah Dobbins has run for 266 yards after the first 2 games. Harbaugh is doing what he did at Michigan, run the ball, play good defense and rely on a good kicking game. The fact that they also have a very talented QB makes them a very good football team.

 

Even though I dislike the Man greatly. Most knew He becoming their HC would make them better....the Question is for how long....because He seems to not last long anywhere

 

Speaking of hating the Harbaughs. Yesterday John lost for 9th time while holding a double digit 4th quarter lead the most blown leads by any coach in his career. What is really amazing is that he lost these games with the greatest MVP QB in world history! lol

 

I wanted to say that earlier,,but thanks for you doing it....I don't have to.

 

we will punch him in the mouth

home opener, D will be fired up.

SOMEONE will need to beat us thru the air, IMO.

 

Johnny is not that great - he is ALWAYS our best hope to compete in the AFC-N

Don't blame Lamar, he needs HELP!

Lamar's INT yesterday was a handoff from their WR to the defender....

OLINE SUCKS, many knew that was a problem coming into the season. He broke the bank with his contract and they are suffering. King Henry is a N / S runner, probably not the style they need for RPO.

We may win the N yet!!!!

 

My guess is as good as yours.

Wednesday will be the earliest we know of his availability.

 

If Herbert can't go, I'd expect the Chargers to try to force the run and play action. Easton Stick is their back up and I don't know much about his mobility or anything, but I'd expect the Chargers offensive gameplan to look a lot like the Ravens' game plan against us when Lamar is hurt. Lots of runs, some play action, control the clock, and hope to get some turnovers.

This is a game that could very well look ugly again, but the Chargers have faced a couple of pretty rough teams so far... so maybe a good game plan and the QB mobility puts us over the top offensively. Stopping the run and winning the turnover battle likely secures us the win here.

 

Nagee had a good first half, I think he was over 5 ypc average, then the 2nd half crap began.

 

Jim Harbaugh has his critics, but everywhere he has been his teams have produced. Their D right now (only 2 games) is basically the same players as last year, it may not last, who knows, but the culture is definitely different.

 

OL was opening some huge holes at times. We still need to improve there, but the OL has a shot to be a good unit by year's end. I think that both backs owe the OL and some big holes for the rushing success we had.
