If Ryan can't even be better than 2020 Philip Rivers then I don't know what we're doing here. Luck's been gone for 3 years now, you've had plenty of time to find his long-term replacement. They just keep slapping Band-Aids on the position every year and expecting different results.

I haven't liked the Colts' decision-making for a while and it seems like it's all coming home to roost now.

Rivers in 2020 was pretty good

Doesn't matter how many all pro players you have if literally all of them get hurt.

Joe Lombardi is a poo poo rear end OC who needs to be fired and never in the league again. The fact people are excited for the Chargers with that bad bad OC is the ultimate joke.

He is the genius who came up with using Megatron as a decoy for entire games.

It was a top 5 offense last year

Lane also didn't deserve to be fired by the Raiders. That was the senile Al Davis phase and saddled Lane with JaMarcus Russell when Lane wanted Megatron

It couldn't be worse for him than that loss. Tie the game then try an onside kick.

And give the Colts the ball on a short field and give them 2 minutes to gain ten yards to get into field goal range in Denver.

I mean its even odds Ryan would get sacked and pushed even further out of field goal range.

The point is conceding the tie is coward poo poo and going for it (or at least the first down) was the correct call. The playcall was absolute garbage

Not as unimaginable as you'd think. Telesco is already on his third head coach hire. GMs rarely even get a third.

The Chargers and Rams not playing on real grass is a crime and I blame the Rams.

The biggest issue with Telesco is the depth of the team. Dude can hit it the first round of the draft but depth has always been an issue. I like him too, and he manages to keep our stars locked up on good contracts, but still, three head coaches so far

I don't think Staley is in any real danger unless the Chargers break character and want to go after Sean Payton.

That said, Tom Telesco (gm) doesn't have a contract for next year, so who knows

I feel like Hackett have to be hotter than Mild. He has the extra issue of not being the new owners' hire and I feel like it's almost certain he gets fired because of that.

And I dunno, maybe Staley's seat should be getting hotter. The Chargers just feel like they're wasting Herbert (I know, injuries, etc.) and that's an unforgivable sin. Though maybe Lombardi just gets fired and Staley's seat is really hot next year. Looking totally uninspiring with Herbert at QB is an incredible feat.

The latter is what will happen.

It's hard for even Herbert to look good when his #1 WR is DeAndre Carter

The Saints need draft picks and don’t have any particular reason to trade him for minimal compensation. I’m sure they’d happily take him back if he wants to coach again.

Assuming Hackett is finished after this season, would Denver also be in play for Payton? The Waltons have the cash to throw around and they'll be desperate for someone to salvage the Russ situation

Sure, if Payton wants to go there. Not a very appealing situation though, considering that albatross of a contract they gave Russ
