Chargers and Herbert looked solid today at Washington. Justin is the real deal. A throwback drop back passer. He threads the needle. He is definitely carrying his team.

Very impressive opening to sophomore season . He performed as billed . His receiver duo is among the best in the league.

And they can play some defense. We have our hands full going to LA with our secondary . Will be tough avoiding 0-2.

Dont forget we're really 1-0 though.

If we can’t avoid 0-2 this season is going to be another struggle. If week one is any indication the NFC East isn’t going to suck as bad as it has. It’s going to take a 9 or 10 wins to take the division and possibly more if a team emerges into a legit Super Bowl contender.

In a million years I never thought Herbert would be this good....I saw him his senior year look absolutely HORRIBLE in a game at ASU against a very average defense....thought he would be another Josh Rosen. Boy, was I wrong....we could be in big trouble.

Not necessarily. We don’t face another playoff team from last year until week 11 in KC.

We have 3 home games in a row coming up. Our schedule is much more favorable in coming weeks.

That’s from last year, teams that missed the playoffs last season may end up making them this season. They may end up being very good teams. Every year is different and how teams played last season doesn’t mean a lot.

We could be 0-3 if Hurts plays like he did today.

This place would be entertaining if two weeks if that happened.
Egirls certainly didn’t look like the last place most were predicting. These 3 at home might be tougher than the schedule originally predicted. And then before Bye a trip to New England.

An 0- 2 start could be tough to reach .500 before bye.

I expected to be 3-3 heading into our bye.

See what happens from there.
That’s a pretty good insight. Can we reach that if we start 0-2?

I’m not sure. We might be looking at 2-4. And why this game might be bigger than we think.

We’d need to run off 3 straight to avoid going to Foxboro at 2-3.

What concerns me is the Cowboys having 11 days off. They haven’t been very good coming off long weeks. If they come back looking lethargic they’ll end up getting beat. I see this being a pretty critical early season game they need to win if they’re going to be a good team this season. They can’t keep digging themselves holes early, they need to get on a run and win some games to gain confidence.
