Raiders Charger first matchup post game thread

I guess someone has to start it.

I wanted Herbert during the draft process. I was told I was an idiot. I do not think the two are mutually exclusive but Herbert may be entering his prime and that is a bad thing for the division in my opinion.

I saw a few interviews with him before the draft and thought to myself "damn I really want to play with this dude"

Any rate I always thought the him being overrated talk was a bit silly and was always worried what he'd play like when he got a real hc

He needs to become elite to be worth the pick, the league if full of good running backs and not only starters.

Me: "if hes just good hes a poor value, but good.'

Response: "but if hes good hes a poor value."

This is how we want the crowd every game. Starting with the Bears, we need Raiders fans to continue to buy tickets. This fanbase is large enough to support 10 home games a year, even if each Raider fan only attended one. I hope yesterday's blunder didn't sour fans on going to future home games. It can be done!

That's the thing I noticed ..how much black there was. Sounded loud at times also. Too bad that when the fan base turns out the Raiders shit the bed.

The Chargers are one of the few fan bases who don't have enough supporters to take over Allegiant.

It's as if Chip Kelly lacks a page in his playbook to get an easy 3 yards. He's overthinking it, and by extension every single player on offense is overthinking it. Even positive plays feel forced, like there is no rhythm or comfort in the plays being called.

So far in my opinion CK Has proven once again he doesn't belong in the NFL. Some guys are just better at the college level. Still time to turn it around but his play calling has done nothing to help the O Line. Screens, draws, reverses, sending AJ out in the flat....basic shit. And he can't be so quick to abandon the run. Make the D Line run sideline to sideline to wear em out. If Geno is passing 45 times a game, Raiders won't be winning many of them.

Funny, I've heard the Chargers have a lot of athletic supporters.

After 2 games I agree. Let's see if he can adjust as the season goes on. Geno is not a good QB to run his type of offense.

Oline is a house of cards so they draft

Bech in the 2nd.

It was lost in the trenches

Sir, I was assured both here and on Reddit that our o-line is in fact good, and that my concerns were ridiculous. Surely those people could not have been wrong.

Parham is the weak link on the Oline.
WTF happened to Butler, he looks like a shell of the player he was the last 2 years

I hope he leaves Coach Carroll alone for a while.

Dominated in the trenches. Go watch how much time Herbert had to throw almost every snap. Geno had a really bad game but I think the absolute biggest problem is the oline. We can’t run block or pass block, pretty bad combo. It would also be nice to have a Center that could snap the ball, it felt like every other shotgun snap was head high and to the right a foot.

Bad game. Flush it.

We can flush it but unfortunately the toilet is clogged this year.

Exactly what offense is Geno gonna be good in? He missed wide open throws & threw into double coverage
