    And if our O would have scored a couple of TD's instead of FG's on those turnovers it would have been closer to a blow out for us. I understand the negative vibes..we are 1-4, yet the D in spite of it's deficiencies is creating a lot of turnovers. You can say without those it would have been a blow out, but the fact is there were TO's, there is some light at the end of the tunnel.

    Reading a lot of woulda , coulda, shoulda's about our games so far this year and how the schedule is "favorable" over the next few weeks. The fact is at this time we are only capable of beating teams with zero wins. It doesn't matter why we lost to other teams, we lost. We have found ways to lose in 3 out the 4 losses. We played a top tier team and got smoked. Did we play other teams close, sure, but we lost. The reasons we keep losing keep happening and I have seen nothing to convinces me that its been corrected. We CAN beat the Chargers at their place but I get this feeling that something will happen (fumble, penalty, something} to prevent us from winning. Then I will get to read how close we came and if this or that didn't happen we would by 5-1 etc, etc. Until we beat a team with just 1 win, the facts are the facts. I am looking only at beating the Chargers and then start looking at the next week. Looking at 3-4+ games down the road with fantasy predictions is just that. Now with injuries piling up, winning our next game will be impressive enough.
