21st in yds per game allowed (110.7) Tied for 20th in yds per attempt (4.3)

 

[Scot]

Perfect

Now if Garrett remembers that we have the leagues leading rusher behind the leagues leading O-Line Zeke might have a huge day

We need to remind the league just who the fuck we are in the run game and punish the Bucs

Put the league on notice that we are going to run the ball and you can't stop us

 

[Midswat]

Close it out Raidahs.

Get ready for more run, pass, pass, punt.

That's my biggest fear

I'm hoping last weeks loss snapped them out of that shit

 

[Midswat]

Phillip Rivers sucks.

The Zone (and dbair..redundant I know): "Free agency NEVER works. Look at the Giants and that money they spent on defense!!!!"

Yeah, look at that Giants defense.

 

[Scot]

It's gotta suck to have as many of your opponents fans at your home game

So much for home field advantage when the Chargers play the Raiders lol

 

[dbair1967]

Yeah the offense has been awful all year. I think we're 2-11 right now.

Chargers fans know they are moving, its almost a certainty. They probably threw their tickets on the street.

 

[Scot]

We need to get Zeke back on track to get us back on track

Where are they moving to?

They already bowed out of the race for L.A. and they sure as shit can't afford a new stadium

 

[LAZARUS_LOGAN]

No it hasn't. But taking into account from last week... just expecting such. Naturally, I hope I am wrong, but I will not get my hopes up.

Chargers owner 'has no choice' but to move team to Los Angeles - CBSSports.com

Several NFL owners who were in contact with Chargers ownership at the just-completed NFL meetings said that Dean Spanos is resigned to the fact he must move his team to Los Angeles during next month's window to do so and has every intention of doing just that.

As we've reported since before the season, there are no viable options seen to staying in San Diego, and with each week events continue to cement what is becoming an increasingly inevitable move in January.

"He doesn't have a choice from an economic standpoint, and he knows it," said one ownership source with another club with strong ties to Spanos. "He's as good as gone. He basically told us that he has no choice."

"It's over," another ownership source said. "They're going to Los Angeles. It's just a matter of announcing it. There aren't any miracles here."
Spanos continues to work with the NFL about the manner in which he will fund the pending $550 million relocation fee; Spanos would have 10 years to pay it out starting with the opening of the new stadium in Inglewood in 2019, and the Chargers may end up taking out a loan to be able to put up a considerable chunk of the half-billion dollars up front rather than simply pay out the higher yearly requirement (plus interest).

The Chargers are far along that process, the other owners said, and the league is amenable to several different payment structures.
Spanos spoke recently with the mayor of San Diego and city council members, according to sources with knowledge of the situation, seeking any final solution to his stadium quandary there, but to no avail. League sources said Spanos will not announce any move until after the season, even with the Chargers falling out of contention and facing the prospect of having to go to a silent count -- at home -- against the Raiders on Sunday with a preponderance of Oakland fans expected in attendance.

Prescott and Dez need to play better than they did last week. It's that simple.

 

[MrB]

From the way it sounds they really want to get McFadden involved tonight. Let's see some screen passes.

 

[dbair1967]

Yeah seems like McFadden is going to get all the reps at RB in nickel downs that waste of time Dunbar was getting.

The issue I have is they are talking about packages where McFadden and Dunbar are on the field together, with Dunbar as a WR or something.
