Fascinating and inevitable tonight will be the immediate and postgame analysis of the QB/OC comparison between these two teams. Natural, of course, because of the history of those involved.

Moore was trashed here the past couple of years and made to be the scapegoat by many. He was sent packing as the reason for failure by the organization. The Chargers obviously disagreed with that and quickly scarfed him and paired him with their young QB.

Granted, they're not playing against the same defense; Dak/McCarthy have the better draw in that regard. But that will be irrelevant.

The fallout from this will be tangible. This is a MUST for Dak and McCarthy to move the ball and score a bunch of points tonight. The Charger defense is there to be had, so Dallas had better look formidable offensively for sure.

If not, it's going to get really ugly here for two weeks. That will be a LONG bye week.

Chargers are 2-2. For all this talk about Moore they were 3-1 after 4 games last year.

The game isn't as simple as Player A vs Player B or Coach A vs Coach B. It never is. This game will be decided by what defense shows up. That simple. If the Cowboys defense shows up that faced the 49ers then its going to be a shootout we can't win.

This season Dak has needed a lead to win games, McCarthy has called his best games with the lead and help from the defense.

That’s what Mac was saying, we go as the D goes , he is acknowledging that the offense is not a go getter.

Why pinning W/L on the quarterback is beyond a stupid stat l, media hype, or whatever you want to call it.

Granted the chargers defense was bad last year too they are off to a horrendous start. Argurably the weakest pass defense team in football so if they started 0-4 you can't simply pin that on Herbert or KM

...I can see Chargers modifying SF blueprint a bit. Make cowboy receivers beat them.

Just hope, MM/Shotty did their homework last few days.

I didn't bring up record to suggest its Moore's fault or its Moore's success or whatever. I'm bringing up to show that Moore has had great offenses and it hasnt' resulted in wins. Him being "ousted" wasn't about him or his offense. The goal was to win a SB and they felt his style of coaching didnt' allow them to do that.

Well he's saying they go hand in hand. The offense can't perform at a high level if the defense is not getting any stops. The defense can't perform at a high level getting piss poor field position all game. Its not as black and white as we want to believe. Ultimately the offense is underachieving and the defense is coming off a poor performance. We know both are more than capable of playing better.
