Since 1990 there's been 128 teams that have gone 3 road games in a row, only 9 have gone 3-0. Rams play the 49ers to hopefully become the 10th and they flexed the game out!

The chargers have 41 days in between games on their home field.

Wolves have won several "top division" titles though.


Unless you meant the Chargers could become a version of the modern day Wolves

The chargers have won a lot of divisions

turns out pissing off the majority of your fanbase thirsting after a city who didn't want them was gonna be a bad thing?!

Hot drat.

I love how literally everyone except the Spanos clan foresaw that this was gonna go badly.

Now you have the chargers star RB talking about how much he hates LA and misses San Diego

Minus the Spanos's I'd imagine yes. That requires a lot of sudden deaths though.

I don't think they would as long as they own the team.

They want the Chargers back.

They'd prefer it without the Spanoses but I still think they want their team back more than anything

If the Spanos built a new stadium wouldn't they be able to make a lot of money off it? I mean, San Diego is a very attractive location for many events.

Absolutely. San Diego would automatically be added to the superbowl rotation, would host college football playoff games, NCAA final four games, world cup games, etc.

They dont have the money to do that, however.

I'll buy that Hitchens could at least be aggressive in his not-goodness. Dude just like, hangs back and tackles people instead of heading towards a gap or having the ability to read and react in a productive way.

I don't remember if I actually posted it here but the guy is like a midrange safety now. His job is to not let people get too terribly far down the field, but he doesn't actually try to stop anyone anywhere near the line.

I think you guys are going to win the west but goddamn I'm looking forward to our rematch, especially if Bosa is back

The current rumor is that the Chargers most likely landing spot is St Louis, because of the ongoing lawsuit between STL City and the NFL over the Rams move.

I'm not seeing any rumor other than a St Louis radio host lobbying for it

I can't find it now but someone overlaid all of David Johnson's NextGen Stats charts of his runs and it looked like some hosed up tangle of ropes in the middle. It was gnarly how they used him.

Then when they were down 4 scores they started using him properly :laffo:

Edit:

I thought you hated Melvin Gordon

Turns out he's a completely different player when they get him outside on screens and sweeps and pitches and not just run him between the tackle and guard every running play or a bullshit shotgun draw

Big Jay Cutler posted:

I knew he was *good* when he put more than 500 yards on nebraska for a college team that is a constant font of disappointment

Didn’t he do something illegal that makes me hate him now though? I just have a constant sour taste in my mouth when I look at him and I’ve kinda mentally blocked it out, I don’t get this way for dumb poo poo like the Cam Newton laptop theft so I imagine it was ugly

I am fairly certain Melvin Gordon is and always has been a model citizen.

Unless he did something at Wisconsin that I don't know about

The only thing Melvin Gordon did to me is bring his floppy, imprecise, unaesthetic method of rushing to the NFL and then run up the middle for no gain a bajillion times

He was also running under a mike McCoy offense his first two years.

This year they're getting him out on sweeps and pitches and lo and behold he looks like a goddamn superstar

Grittybeard posted:

Does the practice squad travel with the team to away games? I don't see any reason they shouldn't, but at the same time this seems like a really rare situation where it would be important they did.

I guess with a London game you get there earlier and can actually use them in practice.

I am also assuming that after the london game they are just going to reverse this transaction and promote Ellerbee again. This is specifically for if Gordon can't go tomorrow.
