Harbaugh seems off a bit

Site speed reminds me of the old AOL dial up days. Anybody else having issues or is it me?

It’s not just you but there’s quite a few people on the site possibly contributing to it I’m guessing

Even with both of their high quality tackles returning, the LAC OL was awful. The weak G-C-G trio up the middle derailed McDaniel, Herb and Hampton (and it all especially tanked after fragile McConkey went off the field).

Fatukasi gotta eat.

Based on the strategy being implemented with the Chargers OLine, isn’t Fatukasi the one guy they will be blocking?

If we beat the Chargers, they will say we beat a weak team. If we lose to the Chargers, they will say we got exposed against a real team. Either way we can’t win with the doubters.

Meh, sticks’n’stones etc.

Tbh, I personally never believed the Chargers hype. They're the same team we put 60+ on with a different coach. Justin Herbert is overrated, and I've been saying it for years now. The Raiders are now equal in coaching staff, and the Raiders have the more talented team overall. This will be a tough divisional game, and if the Raiders lose, it'll be because we don't have Bowers to stretch the floor for Jeanty. I can easily see the Raiders splitting with the Chargers and Broncos this year.

If the Chargers don’t beat us a 0-9 start is actually possible. That’s a brutal 7 game stretch after us.

The Bye looks beatable.

The Raiders were in it against the Chargers the first game last year even with the moron staff and Geno throwing 3 picks. First play of scrimmage Geno throws a pick and spots the Chargers 3, right out of the gate. I think the Chargers won by 9 or so at the end. The Raiders were in it the whole game up until 4-5 mins. The Chargers have now lost Minter & are struggling to run McDaniels scheme. The Raiders have upgraded immensely in staff. Kirk needs to play clean ball

I wouldn’t say I can easily see a split this season between the Broncos and Chiefs but I’d be ecstatic if that’s the case.

I’d go so far to say it’d be nice to beat them both but if not, being competitive and being able to watch the game not knowing the outcome til the end would be a dramatic improvement from last year.
