Week 1 - Post-game Thread

[Chief X_Phackter]

We all wanted a W to start the season. I'll admit that there was a lot to not like about the game yesterday, but it's unbelievable to me that so many are ready to throw in the towel after a 4 point loss to a real good team.

It's probably actually a blessing in disguise that Fitzpatrick went down. I never wanted him here in the first place. There were better options out there if you weren't going to draft a QB, or roll with Taylor.

Let's see if they can bounce back on Thursday before drawing too many conclusions about how the season will end up.

They were 7 and 9 last year, not sure when the Chargers became a power house.

Every year average teams become great, and great teams become average or worse.

You can only rely on last season's results so much.

The Chargers are off to a hot start - wouldn't surprise me to see them win 10+ games this year.

Wait, us losing to the Chargers is world ending blow it all up WFT is the worst ever etc.... but the Chargers beating us in week one means they are off to a hot start. If we are so bad how is beating us off to a hot start?

I am not picking on you Mooby just us as a group.

It's funny to me how hard the crash back to reality was - the mood around here was upbeat before yesterday, nobody expected us to blow them out yesterday but the general consensus thought it was a winnable game.

But from the first snap yesterday it seemed like they rolled everywhere except the scoreboard. We got a few lucky breaks and hung around but in the end they pulled away.

I still believe our team is nowhere near good enough to compete with the upper tier teams of the NFL. Doesn't mean it can't happen this season though, it just means it might take a few weeks for this team to start firing on all cylinders.

Agree time will tell.

How frustrating does it have to be for synder? i realize he makes money off this crap but man year in and year out just shit bomb after shit bomb.

Even just the Fitzmagic injury yesterday; its so just unbelievable bad this whole franchise.

They have a lot of preseason hype, and lost a lot of one score games last year. New coach has "mastermind" label. Seemed to prove it against us for sure.

Agree about Taylor but this team isn’t winning more than 8 games regardless of Thursday. That is where my money would go if i had to bet at least

I'm in no way giving up on the season. My criticisms are solely based on what we saw yesterday. It's a long season and there are always ups and downs.

Maybe you aren't, but overall the negative sentiment on here is over the top after one game. You would think we got trucked like the Packers or something. It wasn't even close to that. Yeah, lots of yards, lots of 3rd down conversions, and the offense STILL looks less than pedestrian.

But in the end, it's one game, and they lost by 4.

And it's an AFC team, that all 4 NFC East teams likely will lose to. It would make me feel better if they beat the crap out of Dallas this week!

All we have is one game to critique. Not a ton of positives to hold on to right now.

Maybe not a ton of positives to hold on to but surely not the "Chicken Little" talk from a handful either. I'm at a medium because I'm particularly wired in that manner, it was ONLY Week 1 (I've said it for the past 25 years that opening day is an extension of preseason, and I still hold on to that train of thought) and though we didn't particularly play well; we still was likely a Gibson fumble away from potentially winning the game.

Let's see how things go over the next three to four weeks.

It's not just the legal side you have to worry about with Watson. It's the NFL suspension.

If the NFL suspends him for a year, do you still trade the house for him?
