San Diego. Probably Delhomme's last good game that reminded you of the guy he was in 03. 

Monday Night (or Thursday?) vs Buccaneers at home. I went to that game and it was incredible to see Stewart and Williams just completely destroy a defense like that. I think at that time Stew and DWill were top 5 RB talents on their own. Smitty had a great game too. 

That last second touchdown in SD was an unbelievable moment.

The SD game stuck out. Nationally, we weren't expected to do much that year, and the Chargers had some hype behind them. So Fox had his favorite scenario in place, being an over-looked and under-estimated road dog. Good game to watch.

No Steve Smith either.  That's after the team suspended him for his sucker punch on Ken Lucas.

i only started following football in 2017, so forgive my ignorance but if Delhomme wasn’t the same with his arm how did we still win 12 games? were we that dominant?

Delhomme was good the first half of the year. The second half of the year, you could start to see some cracks - the four-pick Raiders game, for example - but he was still good enough to win, and often win by a lot, because we had the best running game in team history + a great, great defense and the last great WR duo we've had (Smith and Moose).

If he wasn't hurt, and was playing at 2007 levels, we maybe win a Super Bowl with the 2008 roster. But by the playoff game his arm was just shot. I really think the 2008 team was the second-best we've ever had (behind 2015), though.

San Diego game for me. I was living there at the time and just remembered how cocky the fans and local broadcasters were during that game. So beating them in SD was so sweet for me. I went and bought the sports paper the next day and the cashier was disgusted when she scanned it for me.

 

I posted it again when the Panthers came back in 2012 to beat them again haha.

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.
