champ11 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 It warms my heart that the Chargers will never spend a season not charger-ing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broncofan Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) Reasons why we could win: 1. LAC doesn't really have home field advantage. It's a neutral field at best. 2. LAC could lose the TO battle -3, and have a complete brain cramp in clock / game management..like last year. 3. Their WR corps is literally down to 3 healthy bodies, and only 1 of them is a good player (Mike Williams is hurting). Their fill-in 2nd WR Inman (a decent depth guy) just went on IR. Their TE are down to a hurting Virgil Green (groin, so could miss a 2nd straight week) and Lance Kendricks. 4. Their OL has underperformed. 5. It's the Chargers. Reasons why we likely will lose: 1. They still have Philip Rivers, Keenan Allen, and now both MG3 and Austin Ekeler. I suspect we may see both RB's out there a lot together to make up for the TE/WR roster problems. That's more than enough to decimate our secondary and ILB corps. FWIW we're so bad at TE / RB coverage it wouldn't surprise me to watch Kendricks go 5-60-1 lol. 2. Their pass rush is a terrible mismatch for our OL. As in awful. 3. Their run D is much better than the sieve-like D they had last year (to be fair, the Charg-IR's were decimated by injury, what else is new) and they are getting guys back. 4. Their pass coverage is going to pose a huge problem with Casey Hayward basically able to take out Sutton. Michael Davis & Desmond King vs. Sanders is going to be the key matchup for us. 5. They actually signed a K after piecemealing it with their P for the first 5 weeks (and likely cost them the DET game). 6. They won't be caught napping like last year, where they were looking past us...that won't happen at 3-2 and memories from last year. I'll not hide my feelings on 2019 - better we lose as many games as possible and pick as highly as possible, so long as the young guys progress and compete. But a 27-17 L seems about right, barring a major mistake-fest by the Chargers giving us the game.

BroncoBruin Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Sutton made a couple big plays with Hayward in coverage last year, and Courtland's a much better receiver this year. Should be a great matchup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebestever6 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) Lock is free to start practicing after week 6 does anyone see a scenario where he starts getting first team reps at that point?

Nwosu was the 3rd pass rush guy last year that made that unit a holy terror in the 2H (wasn’t great vs. run though). Looking forward to seeing him as much as Malik Reed for us.

broncos67 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I actually can see Denver winning this game. I think it will be close, and could see us winning by a FG or so. That would not shock me in the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) Another Elway Day 2 bust pick in the books...man. I do look forward to seeing Purcell play, looking to our future. Edited October 6, 2019 by Broncofan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is, but he's under control for 2020 as a RFA. So we get to see if he has any 2020 cheap potential. I've always criticized 2nd/3rd contract signing for vets, but min-wage signings, zero problem with, if it's not blocking a young guy we need to see get PT. There's no one on our DL like that right now. Edited October 6, 2019 by Broncofan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep hearing rumblings of a fire sale brewing. Or is he strictly going to get Shelby's reps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Just now, thebestever6 said: Does he play end at all ? Keep hearing rumblings of a fire sale brewing. Or is he strictly going to get Shelby's reps? Shelby's not coming back in this scheme, he needs to go to a Wade Phillips like scheme. While he might succeed there, we just can't justify it. Purcell's really only a middle glue guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
