Yes, we stink when it matters.

Yes, our coach can suck a golf ball through a garden hose.

But, here’s the best I got to make you feel like we aren’t doomed.

1. We’ve lost to the best of the best. ^(minus the titans game). The combined record of the Dolphins, Cowboys, Chiefs is 15-5 through week 7. Ranked 4th most difficulty schedule to start the season. Now 8th easiest ROS. Source.

2. Of the remaining games left, only 4 teams are above 0.500. Lions, Ravens, Bills, Chiefs. The remaining opponents have a combined win pct of 0.326. God fuckin awful start for the 7 other teams (Broncos x 2).

3. The team shows flashes of being good. Why do I say that? We haven’t pieced together a complete game on either side of the ball. But, that’s not to say we can’t. This is where I persecute Staley for making adjustments too late, because playing man versus the Dolphins was dumb, and playing zone against the Chiefs was worse. But what you can take from the Chiefs game is that adjustments were made, and the second half was decent defensive football. Now, do that against significantly worse teams than the Chiefs offense. Now, you might have some wins.

Folks. I don’t like hope, but as a Chargers fan, I don’t like subscribing to the idea of losing. Even if that means Staley keeps his job for the rest of the season.

That being said, if we lose to the Bears on Sunday night, we are FUCKED.
