The San Diego Chargers Thread

[MHSL82]

As explained in the Team-by-Team Thread, I am planning on making a thread every three days for a different team. The first few posts will be questions, requests for predictions, etc. There will be a poll unless I don't feel like making one. Some teams are less interesting than others.Please participate in posting articles, predictions, etc.

So far:

The Seattle Seahawks Thread - SB Winner

The Denver Broncos Thread - Lost to SB Winner

Philip Rivers will...

Throw for ___4400__ yards.
Throw _30_ touchdowns.
Throw _11_ interceptions.
Rush for __60_ yards and 1_ touchdowns.
Complete __66__% of his passes.

The leading receiver (any position) will be: _Keenan Allen_. Yards? _1200_ TDs caught 10

The leading running back will be: _Ryan Matthews_. Yards? 1400 Rushing TDs. 9

Defensive Yards Allowed: __360_ per game.
Defensive Points Allowed: __23_ per game.
Interceptions: _13_

Team Record: _9_-_7_

Against the Broncos: Win Both, Lose Both, Split (Don't care, but will: ___)
Against the Panthers: Win Both, Lose Both, Split (Don't care, but will) - Umm, we don't play them

Which Rivers will we see in 2014? (Elaboration of the stats and more.) - Almost as good as last year, but a subdued version. Think we will try to focus more on run and slowing down this year. Hope is Rivers doesn't have to try to do as much with Matthews finally coming alive last year, and us having 3 capable backs.

Number of AFC West Playoff Teams: 1, 2, or 3?

Thoughts on Chargers making the playoffs over the Steelers last year? SuperChargers!

Biggest surprise?

- That we must really believe we have solidified our O-line. Was one of the worst ever 2 years ago. New staff seemed to have solidified it with very minimal moves. Then we basically did nothing in the off-season and nothing in the draft for O-line. I think we had a great draft, IF the o-line plays as well as the staff must think they will.

San Diego Chargers reach agreement with CB Brandon Flowers - ESPN

 

[HizzleRocker]

The Chargers just got a whole lot better. When you add a Jason Verrett and a Pro-Bowl Brandon Flowers to our secondary - the future looks bright!

 

[MHSL82]

San Francisco, Denver, @Denver, New England, Seattle: Win 2.
@Arizona, @Kansas City, @Miami, Kansas City, @Baltimore: Win 3.
Oakland, @Oakland, Buffalo, Jacksonville, New York Jets, St. Louis: Win 4.

9-7.

I predicted a few surprises and a letdown game. I could see 10-6 reasonably or 11-5 if thing go great. But not predicting those. I think they can be good but are not consistent, hence the 9-7 prediction. Possibly overrating them but who knows?

I live a couple hours away from San Diego and it would be nice to see the Chargers succeed. But I doubt they are close to what ever that 'IT' factor is that they need to be big winners

 

[MHSL82]

As a Utes fan, I want McCoy's (SD) and Smith's (KC) team to do well, but predicted miss the playoffs because I don't think three teams from the AFC West get in and am not sure on KC making it either - Yes, I know, there are a few like KwitYerWhinin/HizzleRocker who will say it won't be close. A little improvement, some luck, and Reid is good at overachieving in the regular season. I can't say they will make it, just won't be surprised for either KC or SD.

 

[MHSL82]

13 votes is a little low, so bump for some to vote if they can/want.

 

[MHSL82]

As of now, a little over a day left to vote.

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

I think this team will be better than last years, but miss the playoffs. The schedule maker made it a bit tougher this year.

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

Same crap, different year.
