Maxx Crosby got one early in the third. That's about where I turned it off. But that doesn't take anything away from the amazing feat Baker accomplished or how well McVay had him prepared.

The Raiders still have a huge fan base in southern California from their LA Raiders days. It should have been Raiders instead of Chargers in LA.

If we hire Ben Johnson (Lions OC) as new head coach, I could see him wanting to go after Goff to bridge to a rookie and/or Corral.

"Woah, new trailer for season two of The Bad Batch!"

That's life in the AFC. You either have an elite QB or you're getting KO'ed in the playoffs by a team with an elite QB.

Lamar's success may push AR up higher on the draft.

The Raiders are on a three game winning streak and are two games back from the last wildcard in the AFC. If Wilks was on a three-game winning streak, we'd be talking about removing the interim tag and signing him to an extension.

To say the season and a half we have on Wilks is "inconclusive" is being incredibly generous. He was bad in Arizona, and this season Wilks has been blown out by Cincinnati, lost by double digits to another playoff team in Baltimore while playing unbelievably conservative to beat 3 awful teams.

2018 Josh Allen was not ready. There were even significant questions about him going into 2020. That was the year he became "Josh Allen".

Kind of wonder if Lovie is back next year...

LAC just lost to LVR, is 6-6 and on the outside looking in at the playoffs. If Payton likes Herbert, that's his next head coaching gig.

This is likely accurate, however; there's a chance Sam changes that by playing well the rest of the year. There is such a derth of even decent QBs available this off-season, it may drive up Sam's price (if he plays well.)

A little late with this but Marcus Jones is good at football.

The same kind of personality that can create a great QB can morph into diva really easily. I think they all have that in them.

Rhule was not a good NFL coach. His agent, on the other hand, is approaching GOAT status.

War.... Damn... Eagle!

Wasn't he a guy you thought Wilks might bring in if Wilks got the full time gig?

There's usually one coach that gets fired despite making the playoffs. It was the Chargers after all who canned Schottenheimer after he went 14-2.

Rumor on the War Eagle board was Kiffin is interested.

I've been saying Chargers pretty much since September. Nice of everyone to catch up.

These two offenses and these two defenses could lead to a 0-0 tie or a 0-2.
