Feels like to me the west to east coast trip matters less for a well coached team. Even though Harbaugh is in his first year, I think his team's game travels. They play hard nosed and we are extremely susceptible to that right now.  Their running game will travel, and I just don't see a world where our offense operates cohesively enough to keep up.  The Saints were mid at everything last year and brought back effectively the exact same lineup and blew us off the planet.  People might want to say the Chargers roster is bad--but they struggled in pass protection and in the passing game and still ran away from the Raiders--who have a better offense than us right now.  I'm just not seeing a path to where we stay in this game. Even when our offensive line holds up, we tend to give up one backbreaking strip sack etc that breaks the game open even for ball control teams.  Anything negative that happens to us including being down 7 I think we're showing that we're entirely incapable of recovering from.  I'll believe in positivity when I see any signs of it.  For now, I'm taking the spread.

It isn’t to be September hot for one thing, which is supposed to be a great advantage, that heat plus the high humidity.  
 

LA came in Friday. Is it going to be windy? We over on the coast, have pretty good winds gusting today. Headwinds, crosswinds, would not help those ducks fly. 
 

The whole team was embarrassed but the D is kind of a shell of a D at this time so, I expect them (LA) to play conservative and lean on their defense. 
 

I’m looking forward to seeing how XL looks and how the OL handles the pressure.

      Bryce Young - High Ankle Sprain, out minimum 1 week

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Bryce hasn't done a single thing to prove he deserves to have his option picked up.  I'd have less of an issue with us declining the option and bringing him back as the starter next year than I would have us picking up that option, as that means he's on our cap books for the next 2 years instead of 1, even if he's cut before year 5. Tua threw for 3,500 yards with a 25-8 TD-INT ratio in just 13 starts the year before they picked up his option, and then threw for over 4,600 yards before they gave him his extension. Kyler threw for 3,722, 3,971, and 3,787 in 16, 16, and 14 games (while rushing for 544, 819, and 423 in those seasons) before they picked up his option and then signed him to an extension before year 4. Jones threw for 3,200 yards with a 3-1 TD-INT ratio with another 700 yards and 7 TDs rushing in year 4 before they signed him to his extension. Bryce has thrown for 2,877 and 2,400 yards in 16 and 12 starts his two seasons, while being on pace for 3,128 yards in a 17 game season so far this year. The closest comparison to any of them was Jones, who while he's turned it around this year, is someone I think everyone can agree was not a player who deserved that extension after that season. If people think those other QB's having their options picked up and/or given extensions were a mistake, in what world can you look at what Bryce has done and make any rational argument for him even being brought back as our starter next year, let alone also picking up his option that would cost us about $27 million fully guaranteed.

      Trade for a QB?

      I don't think we would actually play Hooker but hopefully we also just don't see. I don't view Dalton/Bryce as a worse option than Winston/Howell. I just think we disagree on this specific subject is all.

      I guarantee tepper would fire him if we lost out and he’d be justified
