How have the Chargers suddenly gotten good compared to last season?

 

[Tony Towner]

Combination of getting rid of Lynn who was a very conservative coach in his play calling and Herbert taking it to another level in his second season

 

[Alan]

Herbert has been sensational. He looked stupidly average (I thought his ceiling was "solid starter" at absolute best) coming out of Oregon but he has made me eat a crow and a half.

The Chargers are for real, IMO.

Turns out he’s a weapons grade cunt. Who would’ve predicted that...

 

[Tony Towner]

Ertz to the Cardinals. Hope he gets another ring there. Leaves Philly 10 catches short of the franchise record

 

[Alan]

I can't believe Kingsbury has put together a really legit roster there. Albeit with a really decent helping hand from Bill O'Brien.

It's a really good team. Murray looks legit as a quality QB and together with Hopkins and now Ertz could put up some big numbers.

The defence is pretty good too.

Are the Eagles tanking to get future draft capital?

There was me thinking they were just shit.

(Sorry TT)

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Binning off their only assets presumably for good draft picks and then have a really shit season to get the number one on top?

Trouble is bottom of the NFC East is a stiff competition to win. Dallas have no chance.

 

[Tony Towner]

Nah, 31 next month, in the last year of his contract and number 2 TE in a team that wants to play more 11 personnel.

Johnny's right though the HC or QB or probably both are shit

That's the biggest surprise. Kingsbury's defenses in college were always terrible. If he hadn't lucked into Mahomes as his QB, he wouldn't have the Cards' job now. But, credit to him, he appears to be making it work.

Following on from the Gruden affair this is a pretty damning take on the reign of Dan Snyder in Washington. He's pretty much a complete scumbag really... the Sean Taylor jersey retirement absolutely stinks.

An email scandal cost Jon Gruden his job. Dan Snyder must not evade accountability

Don’t fall for Washington’s disgraceful PR ploy to retire Sean Taylor’s number in an effort to deflect attention from a widening scandal. Everyone must keep their eyes on the ball

He is the worst of the worst.

Watching the Jags/Dolphins game on TV: man, both teams have terrible defenses! Jags couldn't cover themselves with a blanket...

I'm trying to watch it but have no idea what's going on. I think my mind is stuck in Rugby Union so decisions seem a bit odd.
My lad and his missus are there!

Its not exactly a great game to go into first time. Both these teams are terrible, maybe one day the NFL will actually send some decent teams. As they sell out every time though I doubt it, they've never sent two teams with a winning record to London.

Jags vs Philly in 2018 was AFC runner up versus Superbowl winners

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Jags are fucking appalling
